“Arya Samaj has not only guided India’s conscience for a century and a half but has also given direction to its future,” said Shri Nayab Singh Saini. “Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati brought the wisdom of the Vedas back into the mainstream- at a time when society was gripped by superstition and inequality. He gave India the courage to challenge orthodoxy and the vision to build a just, knowledge-driven society. As we mark 150 years of Arya Samaj, its Vision 2075 reminds us to think 50 years ahead, to build a Bharat rooted in Vedic values and global in outlook.” He donated Rs 51 lakhs to the Sabha on the occasion.
Later in the day, Hon’ble Minister of Tourism and Culture, Shri Jaiveer Singh, addressed the congregation, praising Arya Samaj’s transformative work in education, women’s empowerment, and social reform. Shri Singh said, “Arya Samaj has been a torchbearer of reform, education, and equality. The Gurukul system revived by Maharshi Dayanand has given generations of disciplined, value-driven citizens to the nation. Haryana is proud to be home to many of these institutions that blend modern education with the eternal values of the Vedas. The future of Bharat lies in returning to these roots.”
