Welcome to Arya Samaja
Arya
Samaj is a virile rational reform movement founded by Maharshi Swami Dayanand
Saraswathi in 1875. The very essence of this Samaj is to spread truth and
dispel untruth. It believes that return to Vedic code of conduct holds key to
all ailments afflicting humanity in general and Hindus in particular.
Further, it condemns in unequivocal terms all kinds of ritualistic
superstitions like Idol worship, animal sacrifice etc, as well as various forms
of social oppression such as the caste system, untouchability and child
marriage, suppression of women, post-death ceremonies, pilgrimages etc to cite
a few. The main goal is to eradicate ignorance by rationally challenging
beliefs and spreading knowledge based on Vedas thus taking the world towards
the light of truth and knowledge.
The Aryasamaj Kanpur has a glorious history in fighting
for Freedom of the country when it was under alien rule, besides fighting all
kinds of superstitions. It was Swami Dayanand who first gave a clarion call
that good govt was no substitute to self-Govt. Hence, he exhorted Indians to
strive for attainment of independence from foreign yoke. His preaching had an
electrifying effect on Indians and soon after his death hundreds of young
people offered themselves for the cause of Freedom. It is on record that
60% of men who participated in freedom struggle both in passive and violent
form hailed from the ranks of Aryasamaj Kanpur
After independence, Aryasamaj through its over 6000
branches both in India and abroad is actively engaging in the revival and
spread of Vedic thought. It is in the vanguard in fighting all sort of social
evils be it caste system, untouchability etc. In fact while the Constitution of
India has ushered in political democracy under which there is one vote for
every individual and therefore any individual with given qualifications
necessary could rise to any position of power, a similar religious democracy
under which any person with given qualifications and character could rise and
be in a position of teacher, teaching Vedas and Vedic code of conduct.
Aryasamaj Kanpur is a movement run on democratic lines and as such there is no scope
of hereditary order, feudalism etc. Any person who subscribes to the objects of
Aryasamaj could become a member. The objects of Aryasamaj are spelt out
in the following 10 principles.
1. The primeval cause of all genuine knowledge and all
that is known by means of knowledge is God.
2. God is embodiment of Truth, intelligence and bliss
and one without form, all powerful, just, kind, unborn, infinite, unchangeable,
beginning less, incomparable, fearless, eternal, and holy and creator of the
universe. He alone is worthy of worship.
3. The Vedas are the books of all true knowledge. It
is the paramount duty of all Aryas to read them, to teach them, to hear them
and to preach them.
4. We must be always ready to accept truth and forsake
untruth.
5. One should do everything according to the dictates
of Dharma, i.e. after giving due consideration what is truth and untruth.
6. The main object of Aryasamaj is to do [good] to the
world i.e. to achieve physical, spiritual and social prosperity to all.
7. Our conduct towards all should be guided by love,
righteousness and justice.
8. One should dispel ignorance and promote knowledge.
9. One should not be content with one’s own prosperity
but should realise one’s own prosperity in the prosperity of all.
10. All human beings should subject themselves in
abiding by the rules of social interest and should be at liberty to follow
rules of individual interest.
