Oldest and Boldest

Arya Samaj has been the boldest and oldest reformist movement in Indian History for last 150 years. Arya Samaj has started reforms like education for Girl child, widow marriage, inter-caste marriage, abandoning Sati Pratha and many others. Even first call for India’s independence was given by Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Arya Samaj has remained in forefront for getting rid of various old illogical traditions still prevalent in our society. As per our first president, Dr. Radhakrishnan, Arya Samaj has played a major role in making Indian Society as a better civilized society.

To our credit, most social initiatives started by Arya Samaj have already reached their conclusion. Today, no educated person thinks of NOT sending his daughter to school just because she is a ‘Girl’.No lady thinks of jumping in fire because her husband is dead. Educated parents do not marry children who are five year old.

But it doesn’t mean that our job is over. Today’s social issues are much different from those of 100 year before. On-line dating, late / multiple marriages / divorces, nuclear families, abandoned parents, property disputes in family etc. are new and evolving social issues. We have largely ignored them as modern day fads. We have even ridiculed or condemned it instead of acknowledging and offering a solution.

AryaSamaj2.0 is determined to face these new social issues head on – with boldness, honesty and pure Vedic conviction. We firmly believe that our Vedic scriptures have answer to all modern problems also – we just need a interpret and explain them with a different modern approach.
