Namaste
The founding of the Arya Samaj on 10 April 1875 is a watershed in the history of Hinduism, placing monotheism and Vedas as the supreme truth in the forefront. The immense impact of the Arya Samaj on society, more especially in social and religious reforms, is immeasurable. The Arya Samaj rekindled the age-old ideals of society based on progress, logic, truth, reason, and justice.

June 2022 issue
Namaste,
I would like to express my excitement on reading the Issue 6/2022 publication. The finesse of the author’s style and articulation of words is highly praiseworthy. It is refreshing to see the nature of the articles and matters being dealt with as these are burning issues in the everyday life of people and communities. Being married in Vedic rights, I found further insight on the prescribed doctrines and meaning behind key words such as Vivaaha, Parinaya and Upayama to mention just a few. On the topic of social conventions, I really think that this needs to be inculcated into all facets of Hindu bodies…..
In hindsight, as I reflect on my wedding day, I would have rather toned down the expenditure towards the fancy items, for rather the upliftment of the poor and elderly. Once again, I accept I was flawed and sucked into the grips of keeping up to societal norms. Seeing topics pertaining to gender equality, maintenance practices and being discussed on this platform is also heart-warming as this is our reality and further augments the progressive thinking and pragmatism of the South African leadership and movement at large. In summary, I really really really commend the methodology and charismatic approach of he publication as one that is forward-thinking, visionary, and relevant. Thank you for translating in-depth concepts so eloquently. Truly food for the soul and sought-after thought-provoking conversations have been manifested from this read amongst myself and my peers. Paramathma’s blessings to your team and know your conscientious efforts are far reached and
sincerely appreciated.
May 2022 Issue
- Very nice magazine. Very good lay-out standards, catchy to the eye. Pictures tell more than 1000 words. South Africa has historically always led the way in prachar.
- This journal is beautifully written and may we all experience and appreciate its humanitarian message.
- Thanks for the beautiful edition.
- Well done to you and your team for this brave step with the Veda Jyoti. I loved the socialist leaning in this edition. You should take a policy direction to pursue this approach to make religion more relevant to society. I think that the article about the caste system is misdirected. The Manusmriti projects a dangerous ideology and should be dumped. The focus on climate change, globalisation and labour is well received. Keep up the good work.
- Having perused through the very informative content, I was rather impressed. Pertinent and relevant issues were captured so that the reading audience can be better informed and educated – I have
- learnt aspects that I was not aware of. Congratulations to the editorial staff and may this publication grow in strength and keep us all informed so that we not only improve our lives but to make a better society the world over.
