Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, as he was popularly known to the world, yearned for ‘Krinvanto Vishwam Aryam’ – to make the entire world a group of good people.

Satyarth Prakash, meaning the light of truth, is the most important text and guide of the Arya Samaj. It was written by Swami Dayananda Saraswati to propagate the true teachings of the Vedas.

Dayanand Ji was one of the first Indians to think about India's freedom through an independent Indian Government which is evident from his book Satyarth Prakash in which he has clearly mentioned that ‘Swarajya is sarvopari uttam.’

Arya Samaj upholds the true Vedantic tradition and is actively working to remove social evils like casteism, untouchability, dowry, child marriage, atrocities on women etc. and support widow marriage, equality, girl education. The organization works relentlessly to spread the message of Vedas – Vedanta found in the Upanishads.
