Dayanand Saraswati is the last Hindu social epoch maker in the true line of the Buddha and Sankara. The rise of a Dayanand in the nineteenth century is phenomenon which baffles the historian. The present reformed and rejuvenated Hinduism is solely a gift of Dayanand Saraswati.

Dayanand Saraswati was the first great architect of modern makers India. His learning was stupendous, and his character great. Bur above all, his vision was clearer and broader than is generally given to Nation-Markers.

Dayanand has helped to make India conscious of itself as a unity with some distinctive contribution to make to the culture of the world as whole.

A rare insight into the needs of the time and a steadfastness of purpose which no adverse turn of fortune could conquer, a readiness and resourcefulness rarely met with, true patriotism which was far in advance of the times, and a sense of justice tempered with mercy, these were the sources of strength which enable Dayanand to organize a great movement like the Arya Samaj.
