Answer» Swami Dayanand, founder of the Arya Samaj, was one of the few great men of the world who sacrificed everything for emancipation for mankind. He was a great scholar, a Yogi, a SOCIAL reformer, a philosopher and a political thinker.
Born in affluence and luxury, he left the house when forced by his parents to get married and wandered in the Himalayas in pursuit of knowledge and truth. Facing HARDSHIPS and difficulties, resisting all temptations, he studied the ancient scriptures, particularly the Vedas which he REGARDED as a source of Divine Knowledge and engage himself in the Herculean TASK of spreading that knowledge.
Swamji believed that Dharma CONSISTS in following the Truth, which alone triumphs ultimately and secures for its devotees "Dharma; arth, kama and moksha".
