He believed in the supreme authority of the Vedas But at the same time He did not follow Atharvaveda 11.7.24 which mentions Puranas [13] Dayananda advocated the doctrine of Karma and Reincarnation. He was against Hinduism and tried to establish his own religion but failed to do so and hence called Arya Samaj a reformed version of Hinduism.
