He was a social reformer and a great Hindu religious preacher.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He was raised in the orthodox Hindu tradition but soon found himself unsatisfied with the archaic teachings and practices, especially idol worship and other primitivism imposed on him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0At the age of 19 he left his family and undertook a long period of rigorous, ascetic study of the ancient Vedas\u2014the oldest core of the Hindu religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dayananda Saraswati formed Arya Samaj in 1875 A.D. He formed this \u2018Samaj\u2019 for the resurgence of Hindu society. He was born in a Brahmin family of Gujrat. He was a Sanskrit pundit. He did not know English. He came in contact with Keshab Sen after being Saint. After that he appointed himself during his last 8 years of life in reform work of religion and society.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Early Life and Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dayanand Saraswati<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was born on 12th February, 1824<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> into a wealthy Brahmin family in Gujarat, a part of western India somewhat isolated from British colonial influence. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His father was Karshanji Lalji Trivedi and his mother was Yashodabai. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His affluent and influential Brahmin family was an ardent follower of Lord Shiva. The family being deeply religious, Mool Shankar was taught religious rituals, piety and purity, and the importance of fasting from a very early age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He believed that Hinduism had been corrupted by divergence from the founding principles of the Vedas and that Hindus had been misled by the priesthood for the priests&#8217; self-aggrandizement. For this mission, he founded the\u00a0Arya Samaj, enunciating the Ten Universal Principles as a code for\u00a0Universalism, called\u00a0Krinvanto Vishwaryam. With these principles, he intended the whole world to be an abode for Aryas (Nobles).<\/p>\n<p>His next step was to reform Hinduism with a new dedication to God. He travelled the country challenging religious scholars and priests to discussions, winning repeatedly through the strength of his arguments and knowledge of Sanskrit and Vedas. <sup id=\"cite_ref-21\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>Hindu\u00a0priests\u00a0discouraged the\u00a0laity\u00a0from reading\u00a0Vedic\u00a0scriptures, and encouraged rituals, such as bathing in the\u00a0Ganges River\u00a0and feeding of priests on anniversaries, which Dayananda pronounced as\u00a0superstitions\u00a0or self-serving practices. By exhorting the nation to reject such superstitious notions, his aim was to educate the nation to return to the teachings of the Vedas, and to follow the Vedic way of life. He also exhorted Hindus to accept social reforms, including the importance of cows for national prosperity as well as the adoption of\u00a0Hindi\u00a0as the national language for national integration<\/p>\n<h4><b>Dayanand Saraswati &amp; Arya Samaj<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On 7 April, 1875 Dayanand Saraswati formed the Arya Samaj at Bombay. It was a Hindu reforms movement, meaning &#8220;society of the nobles&#8221;. The purpose of the Samaj was to move the Hindu religion away from the fictitious beliefs. &#8216;Krinvan to Vishvam Aryam&#8221; was the motto of the Samaj, which means, &#8220;Make this world noble&#8221;. Outlined below are the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10 founding principles of the Arya Samaj was the pillar on which Maharishi Dayanand sought to reform India and asked people to go back to the Vedas and its undiluted spiritual teaching,<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> God is the efficient cause of all true knowledge and all that is known through knowledge.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> God is existent, intelligent and blissful. He is formless, omniscient, just, merciful, unborn, endless, unchangeable, beginning-less, unequalled, the support of all, the master of all, omnipresent, immanent, un-aging, immortal, fearless, eternal and holy, and the maker of all. He alone is worthy of being worshiped.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Vedas are the scriptures of all true knowledge. It is the paramount duty of all Aryas to read, teach, and recite them and to hear them being read.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> One should always be ready to accept truth and to renounce untruth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> All acts should be performed in accordance with Dharma that is, after deliberating what is right and wrong.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The prime object of the Arya Samaj is to do good to the world, that is, to promote physical, spiritual and social good of everyone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Our conduct towards all should be guided by love, righteousness and justice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We should dispel Avidya (ignorance) and promote Vidya (knowledge).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> No one should be content with promoting his\/her good only; on the contrary, one should look for his\/her good in promoting the good of all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> One should regard oneself under restriction to follow the rules of society calculated to promote the wellbeing of all, while in following the rules of individual welfare all should be free.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong>Spiritual Beliefs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Maharishi Dayanand was a believer in Hinduism just as the Vedas have outlined, devoid of any corruption and embellishments. Preserving the purity of the faith was of utmost important to him. He strongly advocated the concepts of Dharma which he believed to be free from any partiality and as an embodiment of truthfulness. To him Adharma was anything that did not hold true, was not just or fair and was opposed to the teachings of the Vedas.<\/p>\n<p>He believed in reverence of human life irrespective of anything and condoned the practice of Ahimsa or non-violence. He advised his countrymen to direct their energy towards betterment of mankind as a whole and not waste away in unnecessary rituals. He revoked the practice of idol worship and considered them a contamination introduced by the priesthood for their own benefit. He was against other social evils like superstitions and caste segregation. He advocated the concept of Swarajya, meaning a country free of foreign influence, resplendent in the glory of fair and just participants.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Shuddhi Movement<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Shuddhi Movement was introduced by Swami Dayanand to bring back the individuals to Hinduism who were either voluntarily or involuntarily converted to other religions like Islam or Christianity. Shuddhi or purification was imparted to those who sought their way back to Hinduism and the Samaj did an excellent work in penetrating the various strata of society, taking back the depressed classes into the folds of Hinduism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/homi-j-bhabha-inventions-contribution-awards-quotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Homi J Bhabha \u2013 Inventions, Contribution, Awards, Quotes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dayananda_Saraswati_%E2%80%93_Books\"><\/span><strong>Dayananda Saraswati &#8211; Books<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here listed out some of the books written by Swami Dayanand Saraswati, an influential religious and social reformer and the founder of Arya Samaj.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Satyarth Prakash<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Teaching of the Bhagavad Gita<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Introduction to Vedanta<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Value Of Values<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vedic View and Way of Life<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moments With Oneself\/The Problem is You The Solution is You<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moments With Oneself\/Vedanta 24X7<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Discovering Love<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Morning Meditation Prayers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yoga of Objectivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tattvabodha<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moments With Oneself\/Vedanta 24X7<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gokarunanidhi ( Hindi Edition )<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sri Rudram<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stress Free Living<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Successful Living PUBLIC TALKS<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freedom from Helplessness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Action and Reaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freedom in Relationship<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Need for Cognitive Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Insights<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crisis Management<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Living Versus Getting on: from a Survivor to a Contributor<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching Tradition of Advaita Vedanta<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surrender and Freedom<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freedom<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Purpose of Prayer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">El Valor de los Valores<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moments with Krishna<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Morning Meditation Prayers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yoga Of Objectivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bhagavad Gita &#8211; Home Study Course (Set of 9 Volumes)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Todo sobre Sadhana<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dayananda_Saraswati_%E2%80%93_MCQs\"><\/span><strong>Dayananda Saraswati &#8211; MCQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h5><b>Q.1 Who inspired Dayananda Saraswati to devote his life to get Vedas its rightful place in Hinduism?<\/b><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A.
