UMvelinqangi is a Nguni word which translates to "the Most High" or "Divine Consciousness"; that is considered the source of all that has been, that is and all that ever will be.

UMvelinqangi, contrary to widespread belief^{[citation needed]} is not personified. Umvelinqangi is most accurately described as the inner light of creation.

Ukukhothama (meditation) was a widespread practice prior to westernisation among the Zulu clan. Ukukhothama was seen as a way of attaining ubunye noMvelinqangi (oneness with the divine conscious). This practice is primarily the reason why the amaZulu clan survived through the ages without any form of western/modern resources.
