Prarthana Samaj

Explanation:

• The Prarthana Samaj was founded in Mumbai by Dr Atmaram Pandurang in 1867 .
• It sought inspiration from a similar organisation called 'Brahmo Samaj' in Bengal.
• The main aim of these organisations was to reform the Hindu religion and rid it from all the superstitions and heinous practices that had crept into it over the centuries.

• In fact the legendary reformer regarded as the golden man of Bengal Renaissance-Raja Ram Mohan Roy, had established the Brahmo Samaj to educate the women and free them from the fetters of the cruel practice of Sati.

• The Prarthana Samaj too similarly strove to rid the Marathis from all evil practices in the name of religion and to practice a pure form of religion.
• A Widow's Home was established to educate the women especially the widows. All possible measures were taken to uplift the Hindu society.
