About Arya Samaj (आर्य समाज)
The Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati Arya Samaj weddings are conducted as per the Arya Marriage Validation act X1X of 1937, and are performed as per Vedic rites. Arya Samaj Marriage which was started by ‘Dayanand Saraswati’ in the year 1875 is governed by people known as ‘Arya’. The marriage is based on the concept of Vedas, which is considered as the poetry of eternity in meta language. Arya Samaj supports love marriages, inter-cast marriage, and inter-religion marriages. We work with a holy aim to remove the rigid caste and religion barriers from our Indian society.
The motto of the Arya Samaj, taken from the Vedas, is “Krinvanto Vishwam Aryam” (Rig Veda 9.63.5) – Make ALL men arya (noble and cultured).” Hence, by being a part of a Noble Society (Arya Samaj), you enjoin with a commitment of becoming an arya (noble person), who gathers in religious assemblies to propagate the teachings of the Vedas, so that you can ennoble (make noble) those who aren’t noble – Making the Universe Noble.
Purpose Of Arya Samaj?
The society of the Arya Samaj was created in an effort to preserve the original values and beliefs of Hinduism as stated in the original scriptures of Hindus: The Vedas.
