'Adi Dharm refers to the religion of Adi Brahmo Samaj the first development of Brahmoism.
The Adi Brahma religion Adi Dharma was originally propounded by highest caste Kulin Brahmins of Bengal who were excommunicated from Hindu faith for opposing social and priestly evils of the time (18th and 19th century AD). The religion was orginated by the Thakur, Rarhi, Bandhopadyaya Bengali Brahmin clan of Ram Mohan Roy and Dwarkanath Tagore who were tainted by orthodoxy as Pirali Brahmin and officially banned from entering temples like Jaganath Temple (Puri) by Govt regulations of 1807.
Consequently the Adi Brahmos then set up their own faith called Adi Brahmo Samaj in 1828/1830 by Trust deed of Brahmo Sabha and codified their religion as Adi Brahma Dharma published from 1848.
By the Trust deed of 1830 principles it was held that all men are equal and without distinction and there is no need for priests or formal places for worship etc.
By the 1850 Adi Brahma Dharma book of Debendranath Tagore, it was held that present Hinduism doctrine is corrupted, but that the original Vedas of pre Aryan times (being relatively pure, though still fallible and not Scripture to be relied on) as reflected by 11 judiciously chosen Upanishads also speak of a single formless God who requires no temple or priest or idol for worship, only a rational and pure conscience of an intelligent mind. That there is no caste - high or low - all people are equal, in this World and before God. The doctrine of reincarnation is refected. The doctrine of God being incarnate is also rejected.
