Swami Dayananda Saraswati (स्‍वामी दयानन्‍द सरस्‍वती) (1824 - 1883) was born inside Gujarat, India. A Arya Samaj, a great Hindu reform movement, was founded by him in 1875. He was the sannyasi (renouncer) & an original scholar world health organization believed in the infallible authority of the Vedas. Dayananda advocated a doctrine of karma & rebirth, & emphasised a ideals of brahmacarya (chastity) & sanyasa (renunciation).

Far from either either borrowing construct from more religions, when Ram Mohan Roy had done, Swami Dayananda was fiercely critical of Islam and Christianity as may be seen within his book Satyartha Prakasha. He was against what he considered to exist as a corruption of the pure faith within his have united states. Unlike numerous more reform movements inside Hinduism, a Arya Samaj's appeal was addressed does'nt to the enlightened couple however to the Indian united states as a whole.

A Arya Samaj without ambiguity condemned idolatry, fleshly sacrifices, ascendant worship, pilgrim's journey, priestcraft, offerings mass produced within temples, a caste body, untouchability & tike marriages, on the evidence that everthing these lacked Vedic sanction. It aimed to become the universal "church" according to a authority of the Vedas.

Dayananda’s construct of Dharma is succinctly placed forth river inside his Beliefs & Disbeliefs. He says "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." Once again he says "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."

He was a foremost among a peachy Indian loyalist world health organization popularised a construct field-grade officer Swaraj - that is, correct to self-determination vested inside Indians, whenever India was ruled per British.
