	Arya Samaj - LoveToKnow 1911
		ARYA SAMAJ, a Hindu religious association with reforming tendencies, which was founded by a Guzerati Brahman named Dayanand Saraswati.
		The Arya Samaj is not an eclectic system like the Brahma Samaj, which strives to find the common basis underlying all the great religions, and its narrower scope and corresponding intensity of conviction have won it a greater strength.
		The age of admission to the Samaj is eighteen, and members are expected to contribute to its funds at least 1% of their income.

		The Samaj’s purohits (priests) are very flexible – they will cheerfully come and perform the wedding for you any place you specify – even if it is outside of Chennai, in which case, you will have to just provide them the fare.

		In a way, the Arya Samaj is a minority: the Arya-Samajis are fewer in number than the non-Arya-Samajis.40 By this criterion, every Hindu sect is a minority, and every Hindu school which calls itself “Shaiva school” or “Ram bhakta school” would pass as a minority institution, protected by Art.30.
		While I have no specific quarrel with the Arya Samaj and welcome the Samaj in the propagation of vedic culture and scriptures, it is the restrictive nature of the views of the Samaj, which are the key reasons for its decline.
		Arya Samaj was very influential in West Punjab and had many banks and DAV schools there and when Muslims looted the banks etc during partition I think it failed to recover from that blow.
