The Life and Death of Swamiji
Born in 1824 as MoolaShankar , Maharishi Dayanad Saraswati would go on to become the Tallest Leader of Hindu Revival. His approach to Hinduism followed the Advaita Philosophy of adiShankaracharya.

Creation of Arya Samaj
Lets understand the Times of 1857 to 1947: 100s of Communal Riots which are under the Carpet –
Godhra (1854)
Mumbai (1893)
Moplah (1921)
Kohat (1924)
Kanpur (1931)
Kashmir (1931)
Calcutta (1946)
The Hindu Community had Just come out of an Islamic State of Mughals and Fallen into hands of Missionary East india Company. The Seeds of Partition and Aim for Separate Pakistan were started from 1857 Itself. Meanwhile, 1826–1906 (R.T.H. Griffith) , 1819-1899 (William Monier), 1823-1900 (Max Muller) were Active Translating Indian Scriptures (Vedas /Smritis)with Meanings Manipulated to Cause Hatred Amongst HINDUS for their own Religion and Set Ground for Caste System. The Imperial Census in 1871 was a perfect Ploy to Identify and Divide Hindus on the Basis of Caste. Hindus were facing Double attack from Abrahmic religions which resulted in Loss of Identity and Guiding Gurus and More into a Protective Identity.
In this background of Hindu Persecution, in 1875 (Mumbai) Arya Samaj (A ideal Noble Society of Hindus) was Formed, with a Clarion Call- GO BACK VEDAS This was important to Change Mindset of Hindus to again BECOME a SEEKER. In place of Rigid BELIEVER, as a result of Prolonged Abrahmic Slavery

While Most know Swami Dayanand Saraswati by Satyarth Prakash But Other Books Written by him are Amazing Check the List
Complete List of 27 Books by Swami Dayanand Saraswati is as follows:
Most Notable contribution of ARYASAMAJ apart above. Attempt to correct Translations of Scriptures which were misinterpreted by Missionaries. They formed committees of Various Learned Scholars to Present Correct View of Manusmriti , Ramayan, Vedas. A Few Decades ago, after intense research Aryasamaj Scholars Acharya Dr.SurendraKumar, Sh RajivShastri gave us विशुद्द Manusmriti. INTERNET MANUSMRITIS are worth burning as the same is hugely distorted and made up to the extent that upto 89% Fake in Varna Vyavastha & 55% Fake Overall.
Arya Samaj also gave rules to figure out a fake scripture from a true one
Other Luminaries of Arya Samaj.
There were Many Luminaries in Arya-Samaj. Worth to Mention was Swami Shradhanand thru Shuddhi movement. He was Champion of bringing Hindu Converts Back (Mahatma Munshi Ram Vij), who was Shot at by Bullets by a ‘Man’ who was later Shielded by Mahatma Gandhi.
Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Ganga Dar Tilak, Veer Savarkar, Bhagat Singh’s parents were either Arya Samajis or heavily influenced by the Arya Samaj and the works of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Lala Lajpat Rai (Agrawal Jain) was the core member AryaSamaj. He helped to spread it in Punjab. After Swami Dayanand, Lala Lajpat Rai was incharge of AryaSamaj activities -He Founded of ‘AryaGazette’ Lahore
To target AryaSamaj there were even Organizations Mimicking ARYA SAMAJ
For Example: AGNIVESH was NOT an Arya Samaji but he Created ARYA SABHA and his comments were wrongly linked to Arya Samaj.
In the present times, I have a Huge Respect for Arya Samaji Achrya Agnivrat who is doing massive work to bring Vedas and Science Together and is working on the correct Nirukta to interpret the Science behind Vedas and Creation. Second person who is a great Arya Samaji is Sh Sanjeev Newar who has his organisation in the name of Agniveer. You must follow their works on You Tube and Twitter to understand their greatness.
I end with a small Appeal They mocked Bajrang Dal, VHP, RSS as Militant Organizations in front of Your Eyes, when you know their True Services For Humanity. Likewise They Succeeded to Downplay Arya Samaj Contributions. Discover Truth Yourself. BE A SEEKER !
