The root and basis of entire thoughts of Dayanand Saraswati are the Vedas. He put an intellectual and moral foundation stone for independence. At the very outset, he gave a message that good governance could not replace self governance. He proved that Indian intellectual culture and the Vedas are the best in the world. He called upon the Arya to make India undivided and independent.

He considered that domestic goods and patriotic thoughts are the spiritual duty of an Indian. He said that a foreign government might be very good, but it cannot take the place of self governance. In this way, Swamiji created the feeling of self respect, pride and patriotism among Indian youths. The Arya Samaj was established by Swami Dayanand.

He always opposed evil social customs such as child marriage, unmatched marriage and Sati practice. He also opposed religious hypocrisy and promoted women’s education. The consciousness that he awakened on the basis of four pillars of Swadeshi, Swadharma, Swaraj and Swabhasha is relevant even today.
