The Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati who was a Hindu revivalist he wanted to reform Hinduism on the basis of the Vedas. Born in an orthodox Brahmin Family of Gujarat, he became a sanyasi. He was a scholar of Sanskrit and the Vedas. He believed that the Vedic religion was the only true religion in the world. He wanted to revive the old Vedic religion by removing from it all corrupt practices. His famous book Satyarth Prakash, which contains his teachings, is written in Hindi.

Swami Dayanand was perhaps the first to preach about the spirit of Swadeshi and to claim the principle of 'India for the Indians'.

Hii friend,

Dayanand Saraswati was born in Tankara, Gujrat, to a wealthy Brahmin family. He was named Moolashankar and was also called Dayaram. He was one of the most important socio-religious reformers in India.

Swami Dayanand Saraswati founded the Arya Samaj or the Society of Nobles in Mumbai in 1857. He was a scholar and believed in the authority of the Vedas. He also established gurukuls to impart Vedic education.
He strongly disapproved rituals such as idol-worship, the caste system, untouchability, child marriages and animal sacrifices. He believed that salvation was attainable only through service to society.

He worked towards equal rights for women and their rights to education. According to him, Hindi should be given the place of the national Language hence he translated the Vedas from Sanskrit to Hindi, to make them easy for all to read.

Swami Dayanand was one of the first to introduce the concept of swaraj. He founded the Dayanand Anglo Vedic schools all over North India, in his quest to spread knowledge and education.
