Swami
Dayanand Saraswati Jee preached against many Hindu traditions which he felt
weredogmatic
and oppressive. These included
traditions such as idol worship, caste by
birth, theexclusion
of females from the study of Vedas. His main message was
for Hindus
to go back to the roots of their religion, which are the Vedas.
The word VEDA means "knowledge". It is God's knowledge, and therefore pure and perfect. This transcendent and heavenly knowledge embraces the fundamental principles of all the sciences. These principles God revealed in two
ways: (1) in the form of the four VEDAS and (2) in the form of the world of nature, which was created according to the principles laid down in the VEDAS.

Arya Samaj a progressive faith was founded by
Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Rarely in history has one
single person come to be so totally identified with the social and oral revival
of a nation as Swamijee. Education had been the biggest casualty in
medieval India. Swamijee had realized that the salvation lay in education
the masses. To achieve this cherished goal of literacy through spread
of education was the keystone. To achieve this cherished goal his followers founded the Dayanand Anglo-Vedia (DAV) College Trust and
Management Society in his sacred memory which was registered in 1885 under the Societies
Registration Act 1860. This was the begining of the DAV movement.
The
late Shri Mehar Chand Mahajan ( Chief Justice Of India) was president
of D.A.V College Managing Committee for years, but he understood the importance of Purohits and Updeshaks of Arya Samaj and that is why
he started the Updeshak Vidyalaya in Tankara. We have thousands of
Arya Samaj's all over the world but do we
have enough Purohits to fill those positions? The answer is Updeshak
Vidyalaya which can produce purohits and updeshaks and spread the ideas of
Maharashi
Swami Dayanad Sarsawati Jee.
In 1966 he sent Shri Satya Dev Vidyalankar to Tankara to start Updeshak
Vidyalaya.
