AUM affiliated groups

AUM affiliated groups are organizations connected to the Japanese religious movement AUM Shinrikyo, which later rebranded as Aleph and Hikari no Wa. These groups share beliefs, leadership, and practices with the main organization, often working together or under the same umbrella. They may focus on spiritual teachings, meditation, or community activities, but some have been involved in criminal activities or controversial events. Overall, AUM affiliated groups are part of a larger network rooted in a specific religious ideology, influencing followers and engaging in various spiritual or organizational endeavors.
