Proudly presenting a faith in harmony with reasoning and
science, and in conformity with natural laws.
"I have not come to preach any new dogmas or religion, nor to establish a new order, nor to be proclaimed a new Messiah or Pontiff. I have only brought before my people the light of the Vedic Wisdom (true religion) which had been hidden during the centuries of India’s thralldom.
Though I was born in Aryavarta (India) and live in it, yet just as I do not defend the falsehood of the faiths and religions of this country, but expose them fully; in like manner, I deal with the religions of other countries. I treat the foreigners in the same way as my own countrymen, so far as the elevation of the human race in concerned.
Therefore, the purpose of my life is the extirpation of evils; introduction of truth in thought, speech, and deeds; the preservation of unity of religion; the expulsion of mutual enmity; the extension of friendly intercourse; and the advancement of public happiness by reciprocal subservience of the human family.
May the grace of the Almighty God and co-operation of the learned soon spread this doctrine all over the world to facilitate everybody’s endeavor in the advancement of virtue, wealth, godly pleasure, and salvation, so that peace, prosperity, and happiness may ever reign in the world." Maharishi Swami Dayanand Saraswati |
The sand-clock is significant of the
passing out of a life span for the human soul, a rather privileged
condition. It is all the time one has to prevent the sinking of the
soul into further pain and misery."Make hay while the sun shines." In other words, grab the glorious opportunity to do something positive for the soul, now that the light of true knowledge is once more shining again.

Before 5,000 years
ago
There were no temple, no mosque and
no church. Everyone worshipped the one true God. There were no mediator, no
incarnation or manifestation and no prophet. God was only addressed
according to His Nature (Truth, Consciousness, Bliss), Attributes (Creator, Sustainer and Dissolver) and characteristics (Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Just, etc.) The pure monotheistic |
was the universal religion of the
world. |

Aryavarta, the cradle of all civilization
"India is the
cradle of the human race, the birthplace; human speech, the mother of
history, grandmother of legend, and great grand mother of tradition. Our
most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are
treasured up in India only." Mark Twain |

"We owe a lot to Indians, who
taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery
could have been made." Albert
Einstein
"That by which the true nature of things is known
is called knowledge. Whilst that by which the true nature of things
is not revealed and, instead, a false conception of things is formed, is
called ignorance." Light

THE VEDIC RELIGION TEACHES
- HARMONY between KNOWLEDGE and ACTION - a combination of both to attain emancipation
(salvation).
- HARMONY between RENUNCIATION and ENJOYMENT - enjoining
upon us the middle path.
- ADVOCATING the claims of reconciliation between INDIVIDUALISM
and SOCIALISM
Laying stress on the combination of both, (a) individual all-round progress
and
(b) social collective welfare, as the right path.
- HARMONY between FAITH and REASON
Cultivating and praying for the development of both, and conducting
ourselves that both may go hand in hand.
- HARMONY in RELIGION and SCIENCE and both confirming to NATURAL LAWS.
The Vedas are not only the origin of ethics and morality, but all sciences, including the science of government. Rejection of the true source of science did not only leave religions blind but wholly accountable for the deep tensions of state's separation from religion. |

KRINVANTO SWAYAM ARYAM Make yourself noble
Only when this knowledge is put into practice (yoga) for the benefit of our protection from pain and misery it is called dharma, until then it remains religion. |

"A man should, as far in his power, constantly endeavor to
undermine the power of the unjust and strengthen that of the just. He may
have to bear any amount of terrible suffering, he may even have to quaff
the bitter cup of death in performance of his duty, which devolves on
account of him being a man, but he should not shirk it." Swami
DayanandTranslation |
