Inclusive Determinism vs Exclusive Determinism

Since the early 20th century, there has been a debate as to whether the predetermined nature of the universe applies to all beings created by Dara'kaara or whether her divine plan only applies to the realm of Saarasia.

This debate was most famously explored in Kikado Miadilona's seminal karyda "Sasan-di-'naal-o'bia Mi Sasan-di-naal-inaal-o'bia" (Inclusive Determinism Or Exclusive Determinism), published in 1942. This book lays out the fundamentals of both sides of the debate, exploring the implications of both arguments. Whilst he never presents one idea as correct within the book, throughout his life Miadilona was very vocally on the side of Exclusive Determinism.

Monastic Raa-dyanism

This way of life was established by the 20th century Bia-kajanaa, Kyli Kaaliakaado, and focuses on how seperation from society and living within a temple is the most holy way a person can live. Whilst having existed since the late 1940s, this philosophy is still seen as somewhat fringe, with Monastic Raa-dyanism only having around 1.8 million followers as of 2023.
