About Us (Foundation)

After the centuries of darkness, Arya Samaj was constituted by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati to initiate the war against the misconceptions grown among the Aryan Race about their religion and to revitalise the Vedic Concepts. This Light of Truth enlightened and strengthened Aryan Race all over the world, to stand rock-hard in front of these threats.

But some irrational people who were jealous & afraid of this rise of Arya Samaj, started making planning to halt this great movement. After Swami Dayanand Saraswati, they started a drive to kill the major Arya Samaj Leaders. Pandit Lekhram and Swami Shradhanand were brutally murdered. Arya Samaj Workers and Arya Samaj properties were also being attacked.

After the assassination of Swami Shradhanand on 23 December 1926, first Arya Mahasammelan was organised in 1927, under the chairmanship of Mahatma Hansraj. It was decided unanimously, in the Mahasammelan, that to constitute a special dedicated force in order to provide protection cover to the Arya Samaj Properties, Functions and Leaders. Henceforth, Arya Raksha Samiti was formed having Mahatma Narayan Swami as its President. The ARS was given a target to collect funds of Rs.10000 and select 10000 dedicated youth from all over the nation.

However, Aryans arranged 12000 youths & the requisite money, much before the deadline. Arya Raksha Samiti named the group of selected youth as Arya Veer Dal. Later on, on 26 January 1929 Sarvadeshik Arya Pratinidhi Sabha duly constituted Arya Veer Dal by passing its constitution. Sh. Shivchandra Ji was appointed as its first Sanchalak (President).

In the mean time, Mahashay Rajpal was also assassinated in Lahore. Under these new circumstances Mahatma Narayan Swami issued orders to constitute an Arya Veer Dal Shakha (Unit) in each & every Arya Samaj premises.

As a result of proper security support, the attacks on Arya Leaders get halted. The Arya Samaj Functions were being organised, un-interruptedly. Seeing the effectiveness of Arya Veer Dal, Sarvadeshik Arya Pratinidhi Sabha duly announced Arya Veer Dal as its Youth Wing in 1936. And the highly courageous Sh. Om Prakash Tyagi was appointed as its Pradhan Sanchalak (President) in 1940.
