BRIEF INTRUCTION OF ARYA SAMAJ

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati Ji was born on February 12, 1824 in Tankara, Gujarat. He left home at the age of 19 to search for true knowledge. He received education from Guru Virjanand Dandi Ji at Mathura. After deeply understanding the contemporary problems of the country he started putting his fearless words on all of them. As a result, a change started coming.

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati Ji understood the root cause of contemporary problems of India was prevalence of superstition, social evils, illiteracy, untouchability, castism by birth and gender discrimination and he started working upon it one by one. As Swami Ji had understood that being a human being his life also could not last forever, so he founded Arya Samaj Organization in 1875 in Bombay for continuous expansion of his work. Soon Arya Samaj began to be establishing in different cities across the country. He made rules and regulations for this. He created a democratic structure amazingly. After the demise of Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati  Ji in 1883 DAV College Lahore was established to commemorate his memories forever.
