Swami Dayanand Saraswati has been the greatest of all Vedic Scholars in the post Vedic Period. Not only was he a perfectionaist grammararian, but he was also a great yogi, which are the two main requirements for understanding the Vedas. He studied (a) Sanskrit for tens of years from many Pandits across India, particularly in Kashi and Haridwar; and (b) yoga from many Yogacharyas in Himalayas and Narmada Valley. He was then atlast chieseled into a perfect grammararian in 1866-69 by Swami Virjanand Dandi, after which Swamiji started his Vedic Mission with his full energy.
In 1875 AD, Swamiji formed Arya Samaj, which became the main organisation in propagating the message of the Vedas. under the banner of Arya Samaj many people were educated and transformed to great men of India; some became freedom fighters, some became Vedic Scholars, some became Yogis, and some became social reformers. Each of these great men were woven by a common link, the link of the knowledge of Vedic Granth.
Through this page and its sub page, we will try to share the life and works of such great men of India. This webpage is result of gradual development process.... and under progress. Please do provide your valuable suggestions, if any.
