Arya Samaj

Years: 1875 - 2215

Arya Samaj (Hindi: आर्य समाज, lit. 'Noble Society') is a monotheistic Indian Hindu reform movement that promotes values and practices based on the belief in the infallible authority of the Vedas. Dayananda Saraswati founded the Samaj in the 1870s.

Arya Samaj was the first Hindu organization to introduce proselytization in Hinduism.
