He believed in the ancient Vedic teachings and sought to promote Vedic principles and ideals as a way to reform and revive Hinduism. The Arya Samaj was established with the aim of promoting social and religious reforms, such as the abolition of caste system, equal rights for women, and the promotion of education. Swami Dayanand Saraswati emphasized on the principles of truthfulness, righteousness, and the worship of one true God.
