'''Satya Mahima Dharma''' (the "dharma of the divine glory") is a religious tradition from [[Odisha, India|Orissa]]. It goes back to a historic person called Mahima Svami (or Mahima Gosain).

He is said to have appeared in [[Puri]] in 1826. Dissatisfied with the ritualised idol worship of Lord [[Jagannath]], he left Puri and travelled to the Kapilas hills near [[Dhenkanal, India|Dhenkanal]], where he engaged himself in severe Yogic practices. In 1862, he became a ''[[siddha]]'' and started preaching a new ''[[dharma]]''. He is said to have attained ''[[samadhi]]'' in 1876. Under his first disciple, Govinda Baba, and the dissident saint poet [[Bhima Bhoi]], the movement shifted away from the coastal region towards the central and western parts of Odisha. Spreading also to other states ([[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[West Bengal]], [[Assam]]), people from different regions and sociocultural backgrounds joined as followers. Since then, several monastic as well as lay currents and competing associations emerged and various regional centres (Joranda, Khaliapali) have been established. Mahima Dharma is a popular ascetic movement which considers the void, ''[[shunya]]'', as the divine principle, opposing as such any idol worship. The void can only be venerated through fire, or its manifestation in the Sun, traits which link Mahima Dharma to the ''[[nirguna]] [[bhakti]]'' tradition.
