Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati Jayanti: Celebrating the Life and Teachings of a Visionary

Dayanand Saraswati, also known as Maharshi Dayanand, was a remarkable figure in Indian history. Born as Mula Shankar Tiwari on February 12, 1824, he was not only a philosopher and social leader but also the founder of the Arya Samaj – a reform movement focusing on Vedic dharma.

His most significant work, Satyarth Prakash, is a highly influential book that sheds light on the philosophy of the Vedas and provides clarifications on various ideas and responsibilities of human beings. In 1876, Dayanand made a groundbreaking call for Swaraj, advocating for “India for Indians.” This call was later taken up by Lokmanya Tilak.

Dayanand vehemently denounced idolatry and ritualistic worship, striving to revive Vedic ideologies. His efforts left a lasting impact, earning him recognition as one of the “makers of Modern India” by philosopher and President of India, S. Radhakrishnan, and Sri Aurobindo.

Numerous individuals were inspired by Dayanand and became his followers. Notable names among them include Madam Cama, Pandit Lekh Ram, Swami Shraddhanand, Shyamji Krishna Varma, Kishan Singh, Bhagat Singh, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Bhai Parmanand, Lala Hardayal, Madan Lal Dhingra, Ram Prasad Bismil, Mahadev Govind Ranade, Ashfaq Ullah Khan, Mahatma Hansraj, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Yogmaya Neupane.

Dayanand’s life as a sanyasi (ascetic) began in his boyhood, and he became renowned for his scholarly pursuits. He firmly believed in the infallible authority of the Vedas and advocated for the doctrines of Karma and Reincarnation. Emphasizing the Vedic ideals of brahmacharya, which encompassed celibacy and devotion to God, he left a profound impact on society.

One of Dayanand’s notable contributions was his advocacy for equal rights for women. He championed their right to education and the reading of Indian scriptures. Additionally, he provided commentary on the Vedas in both Vedic Sanskrit and Hindi, making these ancient texts more accessible to the masses.
