| | Arya Samaj ("society of honourable ones") |
| | The founder of Arya Samaj was Swami Dayananda (1824-1883), one of the most powerful figures of modern India, who spread the Vedic religion and through the Arya Samaj played an important part in the Indian Renaissance. | | | It followed Dayananda in being a militant missionary movement, which attacked image-worship, the multiplicity of gods and goddesses, the idea of avatars, ancestor worship, the doctrine of maya, the caste system, child marriage, the inferior status of women, fatalism, belief in the Puranas and Tantras, and meaningless rituals. | | | The doctrines of Swami Dayananda were written in Satyarth Prakas, A Declaration of Truth's Meaning, first published in 1875, the year of the founding of Arya Samaj, and finally revised by 1883, the year of Dayananda's death. |

| | "The Arya Samaj: Alliance of Theosophy with a Vedic Society in the Far Orient" by H. P. Blavatsky |
| | As Miss Collett says, in her Brahmo Year Book for 1878, it was only in October, 1839, that Debendra Nath Tagore founded the Tattvabodhini-Sabha (or Society for the Knowledge of Truth), which lasted for twenty years, and did much to arouse the energies and form the principles of the young church of the Brahmo Samaj. | | | While the members of the Brahmo Samaj may be designated as the Lutheran Protestants of orthodox Brahmanism, the disciples of the Swami Dyanand should be compared to those learned mystics, the Gnostics, who had the key to those earlier writings which, later, were worked over into the Christian gospels and various patristic literature. | | | As the above-named pre-Christian sects understood the true esoteric meaning of the Chrestos allegory, which is now materialized into the Jesus of flesh, so the disciples of the learned and holy Swami are taught to discriminate between the written form and the spirit of the word preached in the Vedas. |
