Welcome to the official site of Arya Samaj, Mississauga. Arya Samaj was founded by Maharishi Swami Dyanand Saraswati in Mumbai in 1875.We have world wide chapters with headquarters in new Delhi India, named Sarvadeshik Arya Pratinidhi Sabha. There are more than 80 chapters in various cities in USA and Canada. Arya Samaj is based on ten basic principles. If we follow the ten principles in our daily live we can enrich ourselves, friends and families and the society in which we live.
The 10 principles of Arya Samaj are as follow:
- GOD is the primary cause of all true knowledge and all that is known through knowledge.
- God is existent, intelligent and blissful. He is formless, omniscient, just, merciful, unborn, endless, unchangeable, beginning-less, unequalled, the support of all, the master of all, omnipresent, immanent, un-aging, immortal, fearless, eternal and holy, and the maker of all. He alone is worthy of being worshiped.
- The Vedas are the scriptures of all true knowledge. It is the paramount duty of all Aryas to read them, teach them ,to hear them and to preach them.
- 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 chief object of the Arya Samaj is to do good to the world, that is, to promote physical and social improvement.
- Our conduct towards all should be guided by love, righteousness and justice.
- We should dispel Avidya (ignorance) and promote Vidya (knowledge).
- One should not be content with one's own welfare alone, but should count the progress of all as one's own.
- Everyone should consider oneself as bound in obeying socal and all-benefiting rules, but everyone is free in matters pertaning to individual being.
