Reclaim Temples Rebuild Bharatvarsha

History has been cruel to our beloved motherland. Hundreds and thousands of Hindu temples were vandalised by Jihadi invaders for thousands of years. But more ghastly is the continuing neglect of Hindus towards these grand temples which once adorned Bharatvarsha, many of them now in ruins and many of them defiled desecrated and now converted into Masjids. This includes the temples at Ayodhya, Mathura and Varanasi to name a few.

And inspite of all the knowledge available , Hindu demands for the reconstruction of the Mandirs dont go beyond Ayodhya, even though it is only one amongst the 1000s that were destroyed.

THE QUESTION:

Its been 25 years since Babri Masjid was demolished. But not a year has passed, where we don’t see processions and Dharnas on 6 December by Muslims across India demanding the reconstruction of the illegal mosque in Ayodhya.

But Hindus don’t even talk or mention about nearly a lakh of destroyed temples and even about the tens of thousands of Mandirs that have been converted into mosques and where Muslims offer Namaz even today.

If Muslims can demand the rebuilding of the only Masjid to be demolished in the history of India, why should not Hindus demand the reconstruction of all the Mandirs destroyed by Muslim invaders and which were converted to Masjids?

 

As such there is a need for a country wide Reclaim Temple movement with below mentioned objectives.

PROPOSED GOALS OF THE MOVEMENT

1. REPEAL THE PLACES OF WORSHIP (SPECIAL PROVISIONS ACT) WHICH RESULTED IN LEGALISING THE MASJIDS WHICH WERE ACTUALLY DESTROYED MANDIRS AND DENYING HINDU CLAIM OVER OUR MANDIRS

2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA SHOULD UNDERTAKE RESTORATION WORKS OF ALL TEMPLESWHICH IS NOW IN RUINS AND ALLOW WORSHIP BY HINDUS AT THESE TEMPLES.

3. RECONSTRUCTION OF ALL DESTROYED MANDIRS OF BHARATVARSHA.

4. MUSLIMS HANDOVER ALL THE MASJIDS THAT WERE BUILT ON DESTROYED TEMPLES OR HAS BEEN CONVERTED FROM A HINDU MANDIR. IN OTHER WORDS RETAKE HINDU MANDIRS.

5. PASS LEGISLATION IN PARLIAMENT THAT WILL ENABLE THE MANAGEMENT OF HINDU TEMPLES IN A DEMOCRATIC MANNER. THIS ACT WILL OVERRIDE THE HRCE ACT IN VARIOUS STATES.

6. THE LAND AND WEALTH OF THE TEMPLE BE RESTORED. IN MANY STATES TEMPLE WEALTH IS STOLEN AND LAND IS ENCROACHED.

THE  PROOF:

Painstaking research was conducted into the destroyed Mandirs of Bharatvarsha by Hindu historians like Sita Ram Goael and Ram Swarup. And they have compiled a list of around 2000 Masjids spread across the 625 districts of India, where there is a proof that they are actually Mandirs. Subramanian Swamy has published the list in his VHS India website. It can be accessed via link https://vhsindia.org/list-of-mosques-in-various-states-which-were-built-after-demolishing-hindu-temples/

POTENTIAL OF THIS MOVEMENT

The efforts for a single temple at Ayodhya has brought a non existent political party like BJP to power. And VHP rose into prominence mainly because of their agitation for Ram temple.

But no organisation in the history of independent India has called for the reconstruction of all the destroyed temples of Bharat. And there is no doubt that one who does it, will be laying the foundations of a Hindu Rashtra.

THE PRACTICALITY OF THE MOVEMENT

Across Bharatvarsha, in various states in North and South India agitations are happening to reconstruct the temples and reclaiming its wealth and land. Some of the agitations are confined to districts, some to the villages.

But it is happening, and also many local organizations and trusts are fighting with the same motive in mind. The success of this movement is in bringing all this localised efforts and organization under one roof. The agitators also require clarity and guidance on the way to fight this struggle forreclaiming our heritage and wealth. 

This is why Hindu organisations should come together for this movement.

NEED FOR CORDINATION AMONGST HINDU ORGANISATIONS

Many organisations are fighting lonely battles, whereas our enemies are in multitudes and with formidable strength. All the more make it essential that all Hindu organisations come together under one roof.

EPILOGUE

 

Gone are the days of those leaders and organisations who are ready to wait till eternity for establishing a Hindu Rashtra. A new breed of warriors will arise who will reclaim our ancient heritage and rebuild Bharatvarsha, and with the Gods willing it will happen by year 2024.

An Appeal by Sudharma, world’s only Sanskrit daily

July 31, 2012 Others, Views 20 Comments

Sanskrit, A glorious language : Most of the gems of our cultural and religious heritage (the Vedas,Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Subhashitams, the Puranas)  originated in this language. Even today,Sanskrit is taught in a few Sanskrit Veda Paathashaalas. Unfortunately, its spread outside these specialized schools is limited. Even worse, vested interests have been somewhat successful in spreading the idea that Sanskrit is the preserve of a select few from a particular stratum of society. All this has gone towards creating a general impression that Sanskrit is an inaccessible language that has negligible if not zero relevance in daily life.

This misconception about Sanskrit has been a powerful tool for vested interests to denounce language as dead substance. To remove this misconception, it is necessary to demonstrate in practise that Sanskrit is indeed an accessible language that is versatile enough for practical use.

This thought motivated Pandit Girvaana Vaani Bhushanam Vidyaanidhi Kalale Nadaadur Varadaraja Iyengar to start Sudharma. From its inception to date, Sudharma has been the only Sanskrit Daily Newspaper in the World.

Sudharma:World’s Only Sanskrit Daily

The beginning of Sudharma : On 15th of July 1970, Sudharma, the only Sanskrit daily newspaper in the world, came into being in the Ganapati Sannidhi of Maharaja Sanskrit Paathashaala. Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar was the publisher as well as the Founder Editor, for almost twenty years, until his last breath, Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar worked tirelessly and selflessly to make sure that Sudharma regularly reached subscribers’ doorsteps and fulfilled the (high) expectations of Sanskrit lovers. The postal department facilitated the distribution of this newspaper. (5 paise per copy when it began).

The Founder Editor : Varadaraja Iyengar was born in 1921 in a Vaidika family. After schooling in the traditional Sanskrit Paathashaala System, he attained the title of Pandit. Later, in 1955, he established his own printing press. A socially involved person, he was moved by the shortage of schooling for girls. This led him to found the Srikaanta Education Soceity dedicated solely to educating girl children. He was also involved with many other social service organizations.

The founding of Sudharma and Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar’s courage of conviction in pursuing this project was appreciated by a number of intellectuals. Traditional intellectuals conferred upon him titles of “Girvaana Vaani Bhushanam” and “Vidyaanidhi”. From its inception till August 4, 1990, Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar worked tirelessly for the growth of Sudharma and the fulfillment of its larger mission. On August 5th, 1990 Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar merged with Paramaatma. Since then, his second son, K.V. Sampath Kumar has been managing this newspaper.

Encouragement from eminent Persons : As word spread about Sudharma, curiosity and interest led many distinguished people to come to the Sudharma once and learn more about it. Such dignitaries were often surprised when they found out that contrary to what they thought; Sanskrit was a language that could be simplified and made easy to comprehend for the common man. Even when passed for time, many such dignitaries including distinguished Vidwaans, heads of various Mathas, and people in high government positions (including the President of India) had come to see the Sudharma phenomenon for themselves.The Founder Editor was appreciated by these dignitaries.

Backbone of Sudharma : It is impossible for a single person to establish and run a newspaper. Vidwaans H. G. Shithikanta Sharma, T. Shankara shastri, Balaganapati Bhat, Shingappa, Araiyar Ramasharma, Roopa Naraya Pandeya, Venkatramana T. Bhat and other senior Vidwaans have cooperated with Sudharma for its smooth publication. After Pandit Varadaraja Iyengar’s demise., Vidwaan H. V. Nagarajarao & Vidwaan Dr. T.V. Sathyanarayana have been working tirelessly with dedication towards fulfilling Sudharma’s mission.

Sudharma’s growth : At first, Sudharma used to be hand-printed. Since then, the printing process has been modernized. It is currently printed by computerized offset printing. In order to ensure swift dissipation of news, Sudharma has established an online e-paper on the internet as well. This has made Sudharma much more accessible. To this day, Sudharma’s cost has been maintained at a very reasonable level.

Financial assistance for Sudharma : Any newspaper requires a financial resource. The usual financial sources for most newspapers are advertisements, donations and contributions from the government. Being in Sanskrit, Sudharma has never had sufficient revenue from advertisements. It has not received financial support from the government either. Despite supporters’ encouragement, today’s high prices have led to several critical difficulties. Printing material and printing paper are much more expensive these days.

Salaries for workers need to be raised in tune with the current costs of living. These economic pressures are making it increasingly difficult to run Sudharma as a newspaper. It is becoming impossible to provide the honorary editors with the honorarium due to them. In spite of these daunting difficulties. Sudharma has been appearing regularly for the past 40 years. Since from 2008 nearly 38 countries of Sanskrit lovers are reading Sudharma (e-paper) everyday.

It is proposed to organize an All India Sanskrit Book Expo and also release several books in Sanskrit. About 50 scholars having Doctorate in Sanskrit are being provided with a common platformon that day to exhibit their skill and talents in their respective fields. On this occasion a photo exhibition is also being arranged for the benefit of the learned public about the Sudharma’s Sanskrit Daily . A Sanskrit Skit is also being arranged. July 2012 shall be an occasion to start celebrating the 43rd year of Sudharma.We appeal to one and all to share this joy and help Sudharma grow further.

Indian calendar is more scientific than what scientists think!

http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2011/12/indian-astrology-is-more-scientific.html

 

An article published in Front Line in 2008 titled as “Medieval Mistake – The story of India’s faulty calendars” written by an astronomer, criticizing the existing system of calendar followed in Vedic astrology as being out of sync with the findings of modern science was brought to my notice. (This article is posted at the end of this post). I understand that articles such as this have the potential to cause confusion and doubts in the minds of scores of followers of Hindu ways and Vedic astrology. The current post is to set right the mis-information promoted by such articles on astrology.
At the outset I wish to state that though astronomy and astrology deal with planets and stars, the scope and utility of astrology are totally different from astronomy such that the rules and parameters are exclusive and unique for astrology which is of less or no consequence to the goals of astronomy. In this age of fast movement of knowledge dissemination, the common man / reader who is not well informed of how astrology works is likely to get carried away by such articles on astronomy which are written with no idea of how astrology uses astronomy. 
The first part of that article deals with Makar Sankaranthi. 
Makar sankaranthi means entry into Makar rasi (Caprocorn) This starts at zero degree of the sign, Capricorn. When the Sun enters Capricorn,,that marks Makar Sankaranthi. But the article talks about the position of the Sun on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the southernmost point in the movement of the Sun.

Maha – Dharna Agitation Against Muslim Reservations

Hindu Sarva Jaati (All Castes)

Maha – Dharna Agitation Against Muslim Reservations

Lucknow, January 30, 2012

Recently, Govt of India has snatched 4.5% from 27% OBC reservations keeping only 22.5% for poor OBCs & giving snatched 4.5% to Muslims. Per Rangnath Mishr recommendations, Govt has already started showering free education, bank loans, employment & other benefits to Muslims 15% & above snatching from other poor castes & open merit.

Against this unconstitutional Muslim appeasement that is killing all castes in Hindus, there will be Hindu Sarva Jaati (All Castes) Dharna (Sit Down & Demonstrations) agitation in whole of Uttar Pradesh on January 31, 2012 between 11am & 3pm. Leaders of all castes will participate in them in over 400 places including District Headquarters & Tehsil Centres. Youth, women, students, professional like lawyers, teachers, CAs; traders in various things & many others from all Hindu castes will participate in the Dharna agitation against Muslim Reservation that is ‘Hindu Roti, Shiksha Bachaao’ (Save ‘Hindu Roti & Education’ ) agitation as announced by Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

The Hindu Sarva Jaati Dharna is for 7 main demands:

1. Govt must reject Rangnath Mishr & Sachhar Reports completely
2. Govt should immediately withdraw 4.5% given to Muslims from OBC’s 27% reservations & promise never to give any such reservations to Muslims & Christians from OBCs.
3. Govt also should promise not to give any reservation to Muslims & Christians from Scheduled Castes (SC) reservations.
4. Govt has already given reservation to Christians from Scheduled Tribes (ST) quota. Govt should promise to revoke the reservations given to Christians from ST & never to give ST reservations to Muslims & Christians.
5. Govt must promise that it would never give any reservations based on religion to Muslims & Christians from any other castes or from Open Merit. Govt also must promise that the Constitution of Bharat will never be amended to adjust any reservations for Muslims & Christians.
6. During Mandal Commission, many so called castes claiming to be OBCs but actually are Muslims are forcefully made a part of OBC lists. Govt should delist all such Muslims from OBC list.
7. Govt knows that all castes of Hindus will stand democratically against this injustice that snatches their fundamental rights to livelihood, education, work, bank loans etc. Therefore Govt has proposed a draconian law ‘Targeted Communal Violence Bill’. This law snatches all rights of all Hindus including all castes to even file an FIR against Muslims. This is the worst ever tyranny against Hindus. Therefore, Govt should not present the proposed bill of ‘Targeted Communal Violence Act’ & should not even think of it. Hindu All Castes want an immediate promise from the Govt not to introduce such a dirty bill against govt or not to make law of it.

All castes Hindus will join the peaceful democratic Dharna against Muslim Reservations to get the govt revoke conspiracy of snatching Roti, education etc from all Hindu castes.

Muslim reservations Death Warrant for Bharat! Unite Hindus!

TogadiaSpeak Source: Organiser – Weekly      Date: 1/15/2012 5:12:08 PM Muslim reservations Death Warrant for Bharat! Unite Hindus! By Dr Pravin Togadia In 1947, Bharat became independent from the British but broken and looted. The same ordeal is hovering over Bharat now with Muslim Reservations. After 1947, 3 Crore Muslims stayed back in Bharat who rejecting family planning and common civil core increased their population to 15 crore now. Using population explosion, they created their own formidable vote bank making all political leaders to crawl in front of them. Here began the dirtiest conspiracy to snatch education, employment, bank loans and livelihood of all backward castes – SC, OBC, ST and from open merit. Using Hindu tax payers’ money, government subsidized Muslim vote bank and now they are demanding reserved constituencies thereby preventing Hindus from having any say in many pockets in Bharat. Current basis of 4.5 per cent from OBC’s 27 per cent for Muslims (and Law Minister’s election announcement of further 9 per cent): Biased and ill-informed reports of Rangnath Mishra Commission and Sachhar Committee. Mishra has given following recommendations: A) Education: Only for Muslims and Christians: 1. All educational Institutions to give 15 per cent reservations 2.  Scholarships for pre-Matric, Matric, Post Matric and private tuitions 3.  Residential Hostels 4. Polytechnic, High Schools, vocational training centers at various places B) Business and Inclusions: 1. All Muslims and Christians be treated as backward OBC, SC and ST whose  Businesses are same as the Hindus from these categories. With this, almost  all Muslims and Christians will get included in OBC, SC, ST quota. 2. Those Muslims & Christians staying in tribal areas before 1947 should be treated as Tribals & should be given all reservations meant for Scheduled Tribes. C) Constitution 1. Constitution be amended to remove words ‘Socially and Educationally Backward’ for reservations and mention only word ‘Backward’ and all Muslims be treated as Backward. So far benefit of being socially and educationally backward was available only to SC, ST and OBC; now all Muslims will snatch it. D) Majhab 1. Based on Majhab, 15 per cent reservations be given to all Muslims and Christians snatching 6 per cent from OBC and 9 per cent from Open Merit. Based on these, government promptly started the ‘loot poor Hindus’ game and showered millions of rupees on Muslims: 1.    With the order dated 22 December, 2011, Government reduced OBC reservations to 22.5 per cent from the earlier 27 per cent and gave 4.5 per cent to Muslims. In 22.5 per cent Muslims already are included + extra exclusive 4.5 per cent to Muslims. 2.Education: Already started only for Muslims · 90 Kasturba Vidyalayas · Muslim-populated 374 districts have now exclusive colleges · 36 such districts have Polytechnic colleges · Muslim girls hostels at 249 places · 35 Vocational Training Centres · Scholarship given to 72, 00,900 Muslim students and for additional 31,145 Muslim students scholarship, government gave Rs 700 Crore to Maulana Azad Foundation · Muslim students get education loan at 3 per cent whereas Hindu students have to shell out minimum 13 per cent 3. Financial Aid · Muslim populated areas are given 2498 new special branches of banks. · Per RBI circular of July 25, 2007 only in one year all banks were forced to give loans to Muslims to the tune of Rupees 1 lakh 43 thousand 396 crore and 70 lakh! · 5,87,088 Muslim women are given Rs 3,984 crore · If any Hindu wants bank loan he gets only 60 per cent and has to shell out 40 per cent himself and pays 13 per cent interest; Muslim gets 85 per cent loan, pays only 15 per cent that too given by Minority Finance Development Corporation and pays only 6 per cent interest! All this, when government is reeling under severe deficit and debt of over $1 lakh 50 Thousand billion, government begging for extra 5 lakh crore rupees loan from open markets at 18per cent interest, when 42 per cent of kids in Bharat are malnourished! Such showering of Hindu tax payers’ money and benefits on Muslims for vote bank politics is leading Bharat fast to the 2nd partition! With such reservation policies, already poor Hindu SC., OBC, ST and even from Open Merit will get poorer, unemployed and frustrated. No Hindu will be able to compete with any Muslim or Christian in academics, business or jobs. With such low interest loans to Muslims, no Hindu will survive in business. Their Hasan Ali alone owes Rs 50,000 crore to Income Tax and they are poor backward? And some of them if poor, are Not because of Hindus; but because of their own choice of unlimited kids! Why burden Hindu Tax payer? Their demand of separate reserved constituency is the last straw on camel’s back. This will block out Hindus from many areas of Bharat. Despite this death warrant on Bharat and Hindus, government plans to oppress Hindus with Communal Violence Bill which will not allow any Hindu to even speak. To save Bharat, all castes, communities and regions need to come together fast and start ‘Hindu Roti and Shiksha Bachaao’ agitation. Leaders SC, OBC and ST and Open Merit should make their communities aware of this dirty conspiracy by the Government to snatch the rightful education, employment, business and bank loans of all Hindus and give to Muslims and Christians for votes. All Hindus must vote together as one against this. Hindu Demands from Government: 1. Government should Reject Rangnath Mishra and Sachhar reports completely and apologise to Bharat for misusing Government machinery for creating false, ill-informed and biased reports with the intention to appease Muslims and hurt Hindus. . 2. Withdraw 4.5 per cent reservation given to Muslims from OBC’s 27 per cent; promise that Muslims will not be included in OBC and Muslims already included will be immediately excluded. 3. Government should not give Scheduled Caste reservations to Christians or Muslims. 4. Christians included in Scheduled Tribes must be immediately de-listed. 5. Government must promise not to amend the Constitution to give religion-based reservation to Muslims and Christians. The only immediate way to stop this reservation Jehad by the Government against all castes of Hindus is that all students, youth, ladies, caste-community leaders come together, start an awareness campaign, sms, email, make groups on Face Book and other social sites, do flash mobs and street plays opposing snatching of Hindu Roti and education. Put democratic pressure on all political parties to reject Muslim reservations fully. All Hindus must unite for this democratic and peaceful fight for last effort of survival to avoid perishing as Hindus and as Bharat. (The writer can be contacted at drtogadia@gmail.com

Hindu Healed, Idols Burned at CFAN Nigeria Crusade

11:05AM EST 11/15/2011 JENNIFER LECLAIRE

http://www.charismanews.com/world/32327-hindu-healed-idols-burned-at-cfan-nigeria-crusade

Evangelist Kolenda listens to the testimony of a Hindu man who was visiting Nigeria and heard the gospel preached from a far-away house. (CfAN)

Christ for All Nations just wrapped up another week of what evangelist Daniel Kolenda likes to call “Holy Spirit evangelism” in Agbani, Nigeria.

Five hundred thousand people attended the meetings—and many received Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Kolenda reports the masses were overflowing with joy and gratitude. One woman even gave him a sheep as a gift of appreciation.

A local chief brought his witchcraft shrine, which had been in his family for several generations. During the crusade, he broke it down and, alongside Kolenda, burned it in a heap with other idols, fetishes, charms amulets and juju. As is typical at CfAN crusades, people were healed by the power of God.

“After praying for the sick, I was taking testimonies when I noticed a man who was clearly not Nigerian standing in the testimony line. He told me that he was a Hindu from India and is visiting Agbani on a work-related trip,” Kolenda explains.

“He was not at the crusade, but was actually far away in a house when he heard me preaching the gospel over the massive P.A. system. He knelt down right there in his home and prayed with me to receive Jesus. Not only was he saved, but he was also healed from a terrible infirmity that had troubled him for several months.”

Swami Dayananda Saraswati : Great saint who for the first time exposed the Islamic and Evangelical thugs in India

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Dayananda_Saraswati

The Great Saint who for the first time took theological battle to the Islamic and Evangelical nut case’s..

Feel pround that my family members were followers of Swamji

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati (Devanagari: स्‍वामी दयानन्‍द सरस्‍वती, Gujarati: મહષિૅ દયાનંદ સરસ્વતી) (12 February 1824 – 30 October 1883) was an important Hindu religious scholar, reformer, and founder of the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reform movement. He was the first to give the call for Swarajya^[1] – “India for Indians” – in 1876, later taken up by Lokmanya Tilak.^[2][3] Denouncing the idolatry and ritualistic worship prevalent in Hinduism at the time, he worked towards reviving Vedic ideologies. Subsequently the philosopher and President of India, S. Radhakrishnan, called him one of “makers of Modern India,” as did Sri Aurobindo.^[4][5][6]

One of his notable disciples was Shyamji Krishna Varma, who founded India House in London and guided other revolutionaries. Others who were influenced by and followed him included Madam Cama, PranSukh Yadav, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Lala Hardyal, Madan Lal Dhingra,Bhagat Singh, Swami Shraddhanand,^[7] Sukhabodhananda,^[8] Mahatma Hansraj and Lala Lajpat Rai.^[9][10] One of his most influential works is the book Satyarth Prakash, which contributed to the Indian independence movement. He was a sanyasi (ascetic) from boyhood, and a scholar, who believed in the infallible authority of the Vedas.

Dayananda advocated the doctrine of karma and skepticism in dogma, and emphasized the ideals of brahmacharya (celibacy) and devotion to God. The Theosophical Society and the Arya Samaj were united from 1878 to 1882, becoming the Theosophical Society of the Arya Samaj.^[11] Among Maharishi Dayananda’s contributions are his promoting of the equal rights of women, such as the right to education and reading of Indian scriptures, and his translation of the Vedas from Sanskrit into Hindi so that the common person might be able to read them.

Early life

Dayananda was born on February 12 in 1824, in the town of Tankara, near Morvi (Morbi) in the Kathiawar region (since India’s independence in 1947 Rajkot district) of the princely state of Gujarat, into the affluent and devout Saryupareen Brahmins family of Karshanji Lalji Tiwari and his wife Yashodabai. Since he was born under Mul Nakshatra, he was named “Mulshankar”, and led a comfortable early life, studyingSanskrit, the Vedas and other religious texts to prepare himself for a future as a Hindu priest.^[12][13]

A number of incidents in early childhood resulted in Dayananda’s questioning the traditional beliefs of Hinduism and inquiring about God. While still a young child, when his family went to a temple for overnight worship on the night of Maha Shivratri, he stayed up waiting for LordShiva to appear to accept the offerings made to his idol. While his family slept, Dayananda saw a mouse eating the offerings. He was utterly surprised and wondered how a God who cannot protect even his own offerings would protect humanity. He argued with his father that they should not be worshipping such a helpless God.^[14][15]

The deaths of his younger sister and his uncle from cholera caused Dayananda to ponder the meaning of life and death and he started asking questions which worried his parents. He was to be married in his early teens, as was common in nineteenth-century India, but he decided marriage was not for him and in 1846 ran away from home.^[14][15]

Dayananda was disillusioned with classical Hinduism and became a wandering monk. He learned Panini’s grammar to read Sanskrit texts, and understood from them that God can be found. After wandering in search of God for over two decades, he found Swami Virajananda near Mathura, Uttar Pradesh who became his guru.^[16] Swami Virajananda told him to throw away all his books, as he wished Dayananda to start from a clean slate and learn directly from the Vedas, the oldest and most foundational scriptures of Hinduism.^[15] Dayananda stayed under Swami Virjananda’s tutelage for two and a half years. After finishing his education, Virjananda asked him to spread the knowledge of the Vedas in society as his gurudakshina, or tuition-dues.^[15]

Dayanand’s mission

Aum or Om is considered by the Arya Samaj to be the highest and most proper name of God.

Dayananda set about the difficult task of reforming Hinduism with dedication despite attempts on his life. He traveled the country challenging religious scholars and priests to discussions and won repeatedly on the strength of his arguments.^[17] He believed that Hinduism had been corrupted by divergence from the founding principles of the Vedas and that Hindus had been misled by the priesthood for the priests’ self-aggrandizement. Hindu priests discouraged the laity from reading Vedic scriptures and encouraged rituals, such as bathing in the Ganges River and feeding of priests on anniversaries, which Dayananda pronounced as superstitions or self-serving practices. By exhorting the nation to reject such superstitious notions, his aim was to educate the nation to go back to the Vedas. While he wanted the people to follow the Vedic life, he also exhorted the nation to accept social reforms like the abolition of untouchability, sati, and dowry, as well as the adoption of Hindi as the national language. Through his teachings, preachings, sermons and writings he inspired the nation to aspire to Swarajya (self governance), nationalism, and spiritualism.He advocated the equal rights and respects to women and advocated the full education of a girl child.

Swami Dayananda was critical of Islam and Christianity as well as of other Indian faiths like Jainism and Buddhism, in addition to denouncing idolatry in Hinduism, as may be seen in his book Satyartha Prakash.^[18] He was against what he considered to be the corruption of the pure faith in his own country. Unlike many other reform movements within Hinduism, the Arya Samaj’s appeal was addressed not only to the educated few in India, but to the world as a whole as evidenced in thesixth principle of the Arya Samaj.In fact his teachings professed universalism for the all living beings and not for any particular sect, faith, community or nation.

Arya Samaj allows and encourages converts to Hinduism.

Dayananda’s concept of dharma is stated in the “Beliefs and Disbeliefs” section of Satyartha Prakash. He said,

“I accept as Dharma whatever is in full conformity with impartial justice, truthfulness and the like; that which is not opposed to the teachings of God as embodied in the Vedas. Whatever is not free from partiality and is unjust, partaking of untruth and the like, and opposed to the teachings of God as embodied in the Vedas—that I hold as adharma“

.

He also said

“He, who after careful thinking, is ever ready to accept truth and reject falsehood; who counts the happiness of others as he does that of his own self, him I call just.

Dayananda’s Vedic message was to emphasize respect and reverence for other human beings, supported by the Vedic notion of the divine nature of the individual–divine because the body was the temple where the human essence (soul or “atma“) had the possibility to interface with the creator (“Paramatma“). In the ten principles of the Arya Samaj, he enshrined the idea that “All actions should be performed with the prime objective of benefiting mankind”, as opposed to following dogmatic rituals or revering idols and symbols. In his own life, he interpreted moksha to be a lower calling (due to its benefit to one individual) than the calling to emancipate others.

Dayananda’s “back to the Vedas” message influenced many thinkers. Taking the cue from him, Sri Aurobindo decided to look for hidden psychological meanings in the Vedas [1]. Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. 1972.

Arya Samaj

Main article: Arya Samaj

Swami Dayananda’s creation, the Arya Samaj, unequivocally condemns idol worship, animal sacrifice, ancestor worship, pilgrimages, priest craft, offerings made in temples, the caste system, untouchability, child marriages and discrimination against women on the grounds that all these lacked Vedic sanction. The Arya Samaj discourages dogma and symbolism and encourages skepticism in beliefs that run contrary to common sense and logic. To many people, the Arya Samaj aims to be a “universal society” based on the authority of the Vedas.^[19]

[edit]Death

In 1883 Dayananda was invited by the Maharaja of Jodhpur to stay at his palace. The Maharaja was eager to become his disciple and learn his teachings. One day Dayananda went to the Maharaja’s rest room and saw him with a dance girl. Dayananda boldly asked the Maharaja to forsake the girl and all unethical acts and follow dharma like a true Aryan. Dayananda’s suggestion offended the dance girl and she decided to take revenge.^{[citation needed]} She bribed Dayananda’s cook to poison him. At bedtime, the cook brought him a glass of milk containing poison and powdered glass. Dayananda drank the milk and went to sleep only to wake up later with a burning sensation. He immediately realized that he had been poisoned and attempted to purge his digestive system of the poisonous substance, but it was too late. The poison had already entered his bloodstream. Dayananda was bedridden and suffered excruciating pain. Many doctors came to treat him but all was in vain. His body was covered all over with large bleeding sores. On seeing Dayananda’s suffering the cook was overcome with unbearable guilt and remorse. He confessed his crime to Dayananda. On his deathbed, Dayananda forgave him and gave him a bag of money and told him to flee the kingdom lest he be found out and executed by the Maharaja’s men.^{[citation needed]}

“A man of spirit has passed away from India. Pandit Dayananda Saraswati is gone, the irrepressible, energetic reformer, whose mighty voice and passionate eloquence foe the last few years raised thousands of people in India from, lethargic, indifference and stupor Into active patriotism is no more.” – Col Henry Steel Olcott^[20]

“Swami Dayananda Saraswati is certainly one of the most powerful personalities who has shaped modem India and is responsible for its moral regeneration and religious revival”. – Subhas Chandra Bose.^[21]
