Welcome to Arya Samaj Official Website

Swami Dayanand Saraswati was a revolutionary saint, a great vedic scholar, philosopher and visionary social reformer who sacrificed his life for the sake nation. He founded Arya Samaj for restoration of Vedic Culture and eradication of social evils. After his sad demise in 1883 his followers decided to open a DAV school in his pious memory. This school was opened in 1886 which became a movement in a short span of time. The founder of DAV movement and Arya Samajists were of the opinion that education should be spread to all and message of Vedas should be spread to all over the country through education. They felt the need of an organization which will be useful to propagate the vedic philosophy of Swami Dayanand Saraswati and organize the Arya Samajists under one banner.

Mahatma Hansraj the founder Principal of DAV Schools and College, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Ishwer Dass, Sh. Durga Dass etc were in favour of a spate organization on the lines of Arya Pratinidhi Sabha Punjab which was established in 1886. After a long discussion the leaders of DAV section decided to create another organization for those Arya Samajis who were in favour of DAV ideology. This organization was founded and named as Arya Pradeshik Pratinidhi Sabha, Punjab Sind and Baluchistan in 1894. There were near about 200 Arya Samajis affiliated with Arya Pradeshik Pratinidhi Sabha till 1947.
