Description
:

The Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati on April 7, 1875 in Bombay with ten  fundamental principles of universal character to revive and propagate Vedic Dharma and  Aryan culture. As enshrined in these principles, the Arya Samaj is a world movement. It exhorts all to accept truth and renounce untruth. Its prime object  is to  do  good to the world, making people physically strong, spiritually enlightened and socially uplifted. It preaches love, justice and righteousness towards all without distinction  of race, caste or creed.

 

The Arya Samaj has played  a conspicuous role in the realms of social and religious reforms and  in the rejuvenation of modern India. From its very inception it has been a pioneer in the removal of untouchability and caste system, emancipation and education  of  women,  removal of child marriage and in  the propagation of Hindi as the lingua  franca  of  India, and  promotion  of  Sanskrit.

 

The Arya Samaj, which has its headquarters in New Delhi, has a large number of units located  in  India  and abroad.  It has a network of institutions such as schools, colleges and Gurukuls, orphanages and homes for widows and destitute women.

 

The Posts  and  Telegraphs  Department is happy to bring out a stamp to commemorate the centenary of the Arya Samaj.
