TEN
PRINCIPLES OF ARYA SAMAJ The following “Ten Principles” of Arya
Samaj are universal in nature and represent the basic concepts of good citizenship
and moral and ethical conduct. These principles are straightforward, liberal and
cosmopolitan and can be followed by
individuals of any faith. 1.
God is the origin
and fountainhead of all the truth and material knowledge prevalent in this
world. 2.
God is “truth-being-and-bliss (Satchidanand)”, formless, all
powerful, just, merciful, birthless, infinite, without a beginning, incomparable, basis for everything, spread everywhere, all
knowing, deathless, diseaseless, fearless, sacred, and creator of the Universe.
Our devotion and worship is due only to him. 3.
The “Vedas” are the books of all true knowledge. To read and understand the
Veda is the supreme duty of all the Aryas. 4.One
should always be ready to accept the truth and reject untruth 5. One
should always act according to Dharma, that is, after deliberating over the
truth or untruth of an act 6.The
aim of Arya Samaj is to work for the well being of the whole world: physical,
spiritual and social. 7.
One should
treat everybody with love, respect and dharma (i.e., conduct consistent with
moral and ethical values based upon Vedic
principles and with full knowledge of differentiation between right and wrong). 8. One
should work, through education, for the spread of knowledge (Vidya) and for the
eradication of ignorance (Avidya). 9.
One should not be
satisfied with one’s own progress but should consider progress of others as
his own.
