Disbelief in polytheism (existence of more than one god) and image/idol worship, opposition to caste-based restrictions, opposition to child marriage, advocating female education and widow remarriage, opposition to the prohibition of sea voyages, were some important beliefs common to the followers of Brahmo Samaj and Arya Samaj.
Like other reformers of his times, Swami Dayananda Saraswati regarded the Vedas as eternal and infallible. The Vedas had all the truth, and solution to every modern problem could be found in them. Swami Dayananda’s monumental work – Satyartha Prakash is an interpretation of the Vedas. Swami considered the epics – the Ramayana and the Mahabharata – as literary treasures.
Light of Arya Samaj
The light of truth, Spread to every youth,
Arya Samaj lamp, lightens To remove sadness,
Dayanand Saraswati taught, For others’ rights he fought,
Offering to holy fire, Took lacto-veg diet,
Aim is the basic key, To unite you and me,
What Arya Samaj said, What Arya Samaj did
To spread unity, Among every human being.
India once was a golden bird. Everyone came to unearth,
Arya Samaj teaches to be calm. And others not to harm,
Arya Samaj took birth, And dispel the ignorance,
Gurukul atmosphere gained, Chauvinism of the fake drained,
Status of women changed, They are equally trained.
Classical Sanskrit was taught, Old tradition was brought,
Arya Samaj is always right, For truth it will forever fight.
