Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati Jayanti


Swami Dayanand Saraswati Jayanti is a day to pay tribute to acknowledge the social reforms that Swami Dayananda Saraswati brought about. Swami Dayananda Saraswati was born on the 10th day of Krishna Paksha (dark lunar phase) in the Indian month of Falgun 


According to the Gregorian calendar his birthday is on the 12th of February, 1824. However, in India, the birth anniversary of Swami Dayananda Saraswati is celebrated in keeping with the Hindu calendar system, and as such, it keeps changing from one year to the next when plotted against the modern day calendar.


He is noted for his socio-religious reforms and for founding the Arya Samaj. Arya Samaj was founded to break free from the Hindu custom of idol worship and ritualistic practices, and concentrate more instead on the teachings of the Vedas and the Upanishads. People celebrate his birth anniversary to remember and honor his contribution to the society.
