Just as our parents gave birth to us and nurtured us, in the same way it is a debt to us that we should also take care of our children. It is our duty that when our turn has come, we should leave our best officers. This is the rule of society. Grihasthashram is considered to be the best among the four ashrams. Because it is this ashram that sustains the rest of the three ashrams (brahmacharya, vanaprastha, and sannyasa). That’s why it highlights marriage and its 8 types.

In which the last two i.e. Vanaprastha and Sanyas in which every human being has to work in the interest of society by staying in the forest. As long as the tradition of Vanaprastha and Sanyas remained in our country, our country continued to receive ascetic Veda preachers, teacher teachers, etc., but since all this has stopped, since then, after retiring from old age, sitting in vain at home, grandchildren are in love with grandchildren.

In these samullas, Swamiji expressed his views on Raj Dharma on the basis of scriptures that are worth reading. Maharishi Dayanand ji, keeping the theme of monarchy based on Manusmriti, has told us that as long as the sages kept the monarchy in our country, our country was very capable of ruling the Chakravarti in the whole world and uniting the whole world under Vedic religion, keeping happiness and peace. maintained. Once upon a time, there was Chakravarti rule of Aryans in the whole world, when Manu’s monarchy disappeared, then Aryavarta got fragmented and Vedic religion started decreasing from all over the earth. In Manusmriti, the duties of the king, his daily routine, education, communication with the subjects, charity, protection of the caste system, and implementation of schemes in the state, etc. have been written.
-
Seventh SamulasIn this conversation, Swami Dayanand ji talks about God and his qualities. is described. There is no religion which is not based on God. Jains and Buddhists do not believe in the existence of God, yet they believe in worship religion. All religions believe in God, but they do not agree on his qualities, there is a difference found in him. Virtue is related to Guna. Man has nothing to do with guni, he has work to do with his qualities. Therefore, while believing in God, if there is no unity of his qualities in our mind, then righteous quarrels can arise. Sage Dayanand ji has proved the true nature of God by giving evidence of many Veda mantras and many philosophies so that no one has any doubts about God.

Tenth SamulasIn the tenth chapter of Satyarth Prakash, Swamiji has discussed the simple things of human life, such as what should be eaten? What should not be eaten? How should we treat each other? How should daily life be? etc etc. No human being can achieve happiness without doing good behavior in society. A less educated person also becomes an object of respect in society by behaving properly, on the other hand, even a more educated person gets humiliated and scorned for inappropriate behavior. That is why the sage has written this samullas while teaching human beings about good behavior and food and non-food items.
-
Eleventh SamulasIn these samullas, Swamiji incorporated superstition in Hinduism. and criticized the evils. What is Hinduism is a puzzle. Everyone calls himself a Hindu and considers himself a follower of Hinduism. Non-people also understand that it is Hindu and followers of it. Before the Mahabharata period, only Vedic religion was spread in the whole world and our country Aryavarta was the center of the whole world. Our Aryan kings had the Chakravarti rule, the kings of the whole world used to pay taxes to our country. Our Veda preacher Rishi Muni used to go all over the world to preach Vedas. Our preachers were killed in the fierce battle of Mahabharata and the whole world became devoid of the teachings of the Vedas. Our country Aryavarta was also not untouched by this. Many hypothetical sects against Veda education started in Aryavarta and many branches and anti-branches of these sects split. Which in our Aryavarta has drawn many lines between the human beings. The varna system got distorted and turned into casteism. Similarly, how many Gurus, Avatars, Babas, Saints, etc., on their basis, have created many sects and taken people far away from the teachings of Vedas. In these samullas, Rishi Dayanand has refuted the Vedas by denying the non-Vedic beliefs of all these sects, etc. Because these sects had taken the contract to make people have darshan of God and every sect was only engaged in increasing the number of its followers. Due to this religious divide, our country became very weak in 3000 years and struggled under the control of foreigners for 1200 years. After reviewing this split, the sage wrote these samullas with the aim of establishing only one Veda.
-
Twelfth SamulasIn this samullas Swamiji has criticized three more views. Anti-Veda atheist Buddhism, Jainism, Charvak, etc., flourished in India because most of the other sects that were born in Aryavarta believed in God and Vedas in part, but these Jains and Buddhists are utterly atheists and fiercely anti-Veda. There were votes. For this reason, many Buddhists out of hatred against Brahmins and Kshatriyas even committed treason and, with the full help of Muslim invaders, kept them in their Buddhist monasteries. Explaining the secret addresses of the kingdoms of Arya Hindu kings, he fully cooperated in attacking them. In these samullas, Rishi Dayanand has refuted their atheism by taking the evidence of the main Buddhist, Jain, Charvaka texts, etc.
-
Thertinth SamulasIn India, the British made every effort to convert the Hindu people here on the behest of the Vatican to Christians. Therefore, to convert the rural illiterate people to Christianity, these Christian priests and pastors used to roam from village to village carrying Bibles and condemning Hindu gods and goddesses. He used to tell the greatness of Jesus. Money was being spent like water by the British for this work. Sage Dayanand ji picked up his accepted book, the Bible, reviewed its selected verses and kept the truth of the Bible open in front of the people, and proved that the Christian faith that flourished abroad is not worthy of the people of India. That’s why this samullas was written in the denial of Christianity so that all human beings read the absurd things of the Bible wisely and accept the superiority of Vedic religion in comparison. Many Christian people and clergy have become Vedic righteous by abandoning Christianity by reading these samullas.
-
Fourteenth SamulasThe ideology of Islam that flourished in Arabia has been based on violence from the very beginning. The founder of Islam is considered to be Prophet Muhammad who was born in Mecca. His followers and caliphs made Islam a sect for the purpose of expanding the Arabian Empire. The valid book of all these is the Quran. For the purpose of converting Hindus to Muslims in India, the followers of the Quran have committed horrific atrocities here since 678 AD. Terrorist incidents happening all over the world, civil war, and mass bloodshed in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, etc. are inspired by this Wahhabi ideology of the Quran. That’s why Rishi Dayanand picked up more than 200 verses of the Quran in this group and tried to understand them. The sage has written these samullas not to tease anyone but to consider them for the sake of Muslims. There was also opposition to this group by Muslim organizations, but to date, no one has the courage to cut the sage’s arguments. Many clerics and muftis, who made the mistake of writing the refutation of Satyarth Prakash, themselves left Islam after being influenced by the ideology of Vedas and after getting purified they became Veda preachers.
