Dayananda was born February 12, 1824 in Tankari city near Morvai (morbidity) in the region Kathiawar (since Indian independence in 1947, Rajkot district) of the princely state of Gujarat, in the rich and pious Brahmin family Saryupareen Karshanji Lalji Tiwari and his wife Yashodabai. Since he was born in Mul Nakshatra, he was named "Mulshankar," and led a comfortable life at the beginning, studying Sanskrit, the Vedas and other religious texts, to prepare for a future as a Hindu priest.
A series of incidents in early childhood led Dayananda questioning traditional beliefs of Hinduism and asked God. While still a child when his family went to a temple for worship in a night on the night of Maha Shivratri, he stayed to wait for the Lord Shiva appear to accept the offer of his idol. While his family slept, Dayananda saw mice eating the offerings. He was surprised and wondered how a God who can not even protect its own offer would protect humanity. He argued with his father not to worship God as an impotent.
The death of her younger sister and uncle from cholera caused Dayananda to reflect on the meaning of life and death, and he began to ask questions that worried his parents. It was to be married in his early youth, as in the nineteenth century in India usual, but decided the marriage was not for him and in 1846 ran away from home.
Dayananda was disillusioned with classical Hinduism and became a wandering monk. He learned to read texts in Sanskrit grammar of Panini and understand from them that God can be found. After wandering in search of God for over two decades, he has found near Mathura Virajananda Swami, Uttar Pradesh, who was his guru.  Virajananda Swami asked him to remove all his books as he wanted to start fresh and clean Dayananda learn directly from the Vedas, the scriptures of the oldest and most fundamental to Hinduism.

 Mission Dayanand
Aum or Om is to be the ((Arya Samaj)) as the name of the highest and cleanest of God.
Dayananda mission was to tell the universal brotherhood of humanity by the nobility, as written in the Vedas and its first step was the inclusion of the difficult task of reforming Hinduism with dedication, despite repeated attempts on multiple his life. He traveled the country challenging religious scholars and priests in the debate and won again on the strength of his arguments on his knowledge of Sanskrit and base damage Vedas.He thought Hinduism was characterized by deviation from the principles base of the Veda and Hindus have been misled by the priesthood of the "priests self-glorification. Hindu priests discouraged the layman from reading Vedic scriptures and encouraged rituals, such as bathing in the Ganges and handed power of the priests on anniversaries Dayananda as a superstition or selfish practices. In urging the people to reject as superstition, its purpose was the nation to educate the Vedas. Then he followed the man on the Vedic life, he wanted also urged the nation to social reforms such as the abolition of untouchability, sati, and dowry, education for women, swadeshi and importance of cows to national prosperity and the adoption of Hindi as the national language accepted. Through his teaching, preaching, sermons and writings, where he inspired the nation to work Swarajya (self-administration), nationalism and spiritualism.

He was against what he is like the corruption of the pure faith in his own country. Unlike many other reform movements within Hinduism, the Arya Samaj was not the only attraction for the few studies in India but the world is judged as a whole in the sixth principle is the Arya Samaj. In his teachings profess shows the universality of all living beings and not for any sect, creed particular community or nation.
Arya Samaj allows and encourages converts to Hinduism.
Dayananda concept of dharma is indicated in the "belief and unbelief" section Satyarthi Prakash. He said:
"I agree that the dharma, which in full conformity with impartial justice, truthfulness and others do not preclude that the teachings of God, embodied in the Vedas, which is not of partisanship and without unfair that some lies, and so on. and contrary to the teachings of the Vedas personified God, I want as adharma "
He also said
"He who, after careful consideration is always ready to accept and reject the truth, lying, with the happiness of others, that which is what I call only.


The message Vedic Dayananda was supported on respect and reverence for other people, by the Vedic notion of the divine nature of individual stress divine, because the body is the temple where the human being (soul or "Atman" ) had the opportunity to interface with the Creator ("Paramatma"). In the ten principles of Arya Samaj, he registered the idea that "all actions whose primary purpose in the interest of the people is carried out" as opposed to following dogmatic rituals or worship idols and icons . Emancipation in his own life, he interpreted Moksha to a lower number (due to their use by one person) other than an appeal to be.
Dayananda "back to the Vedas" message influenced many thinkers and philosophers of the world. Decided under him Aurobindo, Sri psychological meanings hidden in the Vedas, Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry to watch.
Swami Dayananda creation, the Arya Samaj unequivocally condemned idolatry, animal sacrifices, ancestor worship, pilgrimages, priest craft offerings made in temples, the caste system, untouchability, child marriage and discrimination against women on the grounds that all these lacked Vedic sanction.

For many people, the Arya Samaj aims to be a "universal society" based on the authority of the Vedas.
