Swami Dayanand (1824-1883), born on February 12, 1824 (in Tankara in the state of Gujarat, India), was the founder of the Hindu reform organization Arya Samaj which he established on April 7, 1875 in Bombay India. He also created the 10 principles of Arya Samaj. Throughout his life, Swami Dayanand preached against many Hindu traditions which he felt were dogmatic and oppressive. These included traditions such as idol worship, caste by birth, and the exclusion of females from the study of the Vedas.
