ai Dindi (full form: Adhyatmik Intelligence Dindi or All Inclusive Dindi) is a spiritual community and devotional group based in Maharashtra, India. It is dedicated to spreading the teachings of the Sant Parampara (saint tradition) and promoting collective spiritual practices such as bhajans, abhangas, and devotional gatherings. The group is inspired by the centuries-old tradition of the Pandharpur Waari, a pilgrimage undertaken by devotees of Lord Vitthal.

ai Dindi is a devotional and cultural initiative that blends tradition with technology to enhance participation in the annual Pandharpur Waari. Launched with the intention of offering a safer, more inclusive, and well-organized experience for Warkaris, ai Dindi aims to preserve the spiritual essence of the Waari while making it easier for people from diverse backgrounds to join the journey. It emphasizes disciplined coordination, safety practices, and community-driven values while supporting the traditional practices followed during the Waari.

To encourage wider participation, ai Dindi provides flexibility for devotees to join the Waari on any day from Pune to Pandharpur. Participants are offered support in transport, accommodation, meals, and guidance throughout the journey. The initiative has been facilitating this structure for over 18 years and continues to grow as a digitally supported Dindi.
