The credit for this socio-religious revolution goes to Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, who opened the doors of the Vedas to the entire mankind. The Rishivar said that the Vedas themselves give the right to everyone to study them and meditate on them.

Spirituality and Religion :

THERE WAS a time in India, when women were not permitted by Hindu priests to read Vedas, the most ancient scriptures in the library of human history. Indeed, it was heartening to see that at the Gurukul Kangri university, Haridwar, at the Vedic Conference, out of the 1500 research papers presented and read, more than half were by women.

The credit for this socio-religious revolution goes to Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, who opened the doors of the Vedas to the entire mankind. The Rishivar who wrote his commentary on the Vedas in Hindi, the common man's language, said that the Vedas themselves give the right to one and all to study them and meditate on them.

The Gurukul university was founded by Swami Shraddhanand, a desciple of Swami Dayanand and it has done a lot of good in the field of education. It has blossomed into a deemed university which organises intellectual seminars and literary conferences on all issues and topics. By serving the cause of education, it ameliorates the living conditions of man, leading the humanity to health and happiness.
