Background

Geraja is an umbrella term for a range of Vascanian religious and spiritual traditions that are unified by adherence to the concept of dharma, understood as a cosmic and social order that governs ethical conduct, ritual obligation, and the proper functioning of society. This order is believed to be sustained through ritual action, devotion to a wide pantheon of deities, and philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality, self, and liberation.
