The foundation of our beliefs and actions
These ten principles, formulated by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, form the foundation of Arya Samaj philosophy and guide our community's actions and beliefs.
Vedas are the origin of all true knowledge and the things that are known through God (Eesvara)
God is the True Bliss, formless, omnipotent, just, merciful, unborn, infinite, unchanging, eternal, unique, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipresent, immortal, immortal, fearless, eternal, holy and creator, worthy of worship.
Veda is the book of all true knowledge. Reading, teaching and listening to the Vedas is the ultimate religion of all Aryans.
One should always be ready to accept truth and to renounce untruth.
All acts should be performed in accordance with Dharma that is, after deliberating what is right and wrong.
The prime object of the Arya Samaj is to do good to the world, that is, to promote physical, spiritual and social good of everyone.
Our conduct towards all should be guided by love, righteousness and justice.
We should dispel Avidya (ignorance) and promote Vidya (knowledge).
No one should be content with promoting his/her good only; on the contrary, one should look for his/her good in promoting the good of all.
One should regard oneself under restriction to follow the rules of society calculated to promote the well being of all, while in following the rules of individual welfare all should be free.
We uphold truth and righteousness as the foundation of all actions, promoting honesty and ethical behavior in all aspects of life.
We believe in serving society through charitable activities, education, and support for those in need, fostering a culture of compassion and generosity.
We work to preserve and promote Indian culture, Sanskrit language, and Vedic traditions while embracing the best of modern knowledge.
We believe in protecting and preserving the environment, recognizing our responsibility as caretakers of the Earth and all living beings.
We create inclusive communities where people from all backgrounds can come together to learn, grow, and serve.
Our community actively participates in food drives, educational support, and assistance for those in need.
We offer classes in Vedic studies, Sanskrit, yoga, and cultural education to promote knowledge and understanding.
Join us in living these timeless principles and making a positive impact in our community and the world.
