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.
Power Show
Under the
enthusiastic leadership of Sh. Om Prakash Tyagi, Arya Veer Dal
grown up radically in all over the nation. The first Camp of 400
selected Arya Veers was organised in 1942, at Badarpur, New Delhi.
At the same time the whole nation was gearing up for the final
battle of Swarjya. Arya Veers also took part in Karo
ya Maro movement, actively.
But
unfortunately, before Independence Hindus were going to bear its
costs, heavily. In the frontier States of proposed Pakistan,
Hindus were being massacred brutally. Under the instructions of
Sohravardi the insurgents were killing Hindus in Nau-Aakhali of
East Bengal. Sarvadeshik Sabha ordered Arya Veer Dal to send 200
Die-Hard youths to Bengal. Arya Veer Dal, Alwar (Rajasthan) was
ordered to accomplish the task. They lined up 1000 Arya Veers,
from which 200 were to be selected. Each AryaVeer was more than
eager to offer himself. At last, the group of selected 200
AryaVeers left for Bengal, under the leadership of Sh. OmPrakash
Tyagi.
Before doing
anything else, Arya Veers banged a bomb after reaching Nau-Aakhali.
The Camp of Congress was situated nearby. Smt. Sucheta Kriplani
and other Congressmen started singing the false-song of
Non-Violence and abusing Arya Veer Dal workers. One day Muslim
insurgents attacked Congress Camp. They caught up Smt. Sucheta by
here hair and pulled her to their area. After getting the
information, Armed Arya Veers attacked on them as thunderbolt and
save her. She could only yell out, "Oh brother, came to save me".
The Camp of Arya
Veer Dal was situated just 100 meters away from India-Pakistan
Border. Arya Veers faced many times the Ansar Infiltrants from
Pakistan to save Indian Borders. In such an incident that happened
in Jay-Nagar, Ansar Infiltrants crossed the border and tried to
hoist Pakistani Flag on the Indian Post. Only 4 Indian Policemen
including 1 injured were left in Post. Arya Veers courageously
encountered the Ansars and at last Ansars left the field. That
Pakistani Flag is still lying in Arya Veer Dal Head-Quarters,
commemorating the matchless bravery of Arya Veers.
The
Hyderabad Mukti Sangram was initiated by Arya Veers. 3
AryaVeers planned to bomb the car of Nizam. But unfortunately the
bomb did not blast. One of them, Narayan Rao was arrested and
tortured till death. But he did not spoke a word. The Bank of
Nizam was situated in Umari Town. After duly planning, Arya Veers
looted Rupees 30 Lakh from the Bank and gave it to Sardar Patel.
Bhai Shyam Lal (Udgeer), Kashiram (Beed), VedPrakash (Humanabad),
Krishanrai Intekar and several other Arya Veers sacrificed their
lives for the Release Operation of Hyderabad. The whole task at
the time of Police Action, was beared by Arya Veers. Sardar Patel
marked this contribution as, " If there was no assistance from
Arya Samaj, it was almost impossible to win Hyderabad".
Relief Operations
During 1936, the
Central India was vastly affected by a major Drought. Sarvadeshik
Sabha opened various Relief Camps in Ratlam, Ujjain, Jhabua, Gohad
and MeghNagar under the supervision of Arya Veer Dal. This
operation lasted for 50 days.
During 1942-43
more than 45 Lakh people died in Bengal due to Biggest Drought in
Indian History. Under the joint venture of Sarvadeshik Sabha and
Punjab Sabha, AryaVeers were sent there for relief operation with
Sh. Khushhal Chand (Anand Swami) as their leader. AryaVeers
distributed Food, Medicines and Clothes to lakhs of victims.
Likewise, AryaVeers also operated their Relief Camps at the time
of Partition of India. After independence, since 1950 AryaVeers
again geared up to serve the nation during Floods in Assam, Kekari
(Rajasthan) and Morvi (Gujarat).
Community Service
Arya Veer Dal
has fulfilled its responsibilities, all the times. AryaVeers have
given their un-valued services at several Functions, including
Security, Medical Service, Food and Management.
In 1952, the
Guard of Honor was offered to Sh. Tribhuwan Veer Vikram Shah Dev
(King of Nepal) at Semara Air Field, under the command of Sh.
Ramagya Vairagi (Commander in Cheif of Arya Veer Dal). The total
security of said event was also under his supervision.
The Rishi Birth
Centenary Celebrations, Mathura was held under the total
supervision of Arya Veer Dal. The elder Aryajans are still having
its pleasant memories. Not a single mis-happening occurred, even
though there was no governmental support. Likewise AryaVeers
rendered their organised services for Arya Samaj Foundation
Centenary (1975) in Delhi and Rishi Nirvanotsav Centenary (1983)
in Ajmer.
Since
foundation, Arya Veer Dal is working aggressively in order to
achieve its basic objectives. The incidents mentioned above is
only the brief description of the uphill struggle of our
predecessors given here to motivate our successors.
We salute with heart to them, who sacrificed their Present for our
Future.
MISSION
To attain the
prime objective of 'Krinvanto Vishwamaryam', keeping the goal of
world peace and bliss in mind, generation of hard workmanship and
character of the general public, specifically youth, according to
Vedic Dharma, Vedic Culture and Vedic Civilisation.
Necessity
This question is
just similar to asking a mother, "why does she need a son?"
Every Organisation
(Religious or Political) constitutes its own Youth Wing, to get
the useful Working Force to manage the work of main Organisation,
in coming future. It is unfortunate to see that the Arya Samaj,
which is already having thousands of Schools & Colleges, is
suffering from huge deficiency of dedicated workers to work for
Maharishi Dayanand.
Due to lack of
efficient workers in Arya Samaj, several people having immoral
intentions are getting entrance and posts in Arya Samaj's
Organisation under duly planned manner. These people have already
started working on Non-Vedic agenda, which is strictly against the
conceptions of Maharishi Dayanand.
Arya Veer Dal is
the factory where the virtuous, cultured, powerful and disciplined
youth are manufactured. The future of Arya Samaj is dependent on
these specially designed youth.
Aim
Literally, Arya
Veer Dal has 3 basic Aims :
Sanskriti
(Culture)
Our culture is
based on Vedas, hence it is also called Vedic Culture. Vedic
Culture is the foremost and oldest on the Earth. Maryada
Purushottam Shri Ram and Yogeshwar Shri Krishna were the followers
of this Culture. According to Vedic Culture, the aim of Human Life
is to attain Dharma, Arth, Kaam & Moksha. Adoption
of the Symbols of Vedic Culture viz. Shikha, Sutra, Purusharth
& Varnashram Arrangement based on Guna-Karma-Swabhav
is the necessary for each and every Arya Veer.
Shakti
(Power)
Power Building
implies the physical development. A healthy mind resides in a
healthy body. Pehla Sukh Nirogi Kaya. Keeping a weaker
physique is the biggest sin of life. It is essential to strengthen
the basic pillars of Food, Sleep and Bhramcharya to keep
the body well. The regular workout provides strength to all of
those. After getting the body healthy and strong, every man and
woman should essentially take the proper training of the available
means of Self-Defence. This training helps tremendously in saving
themselves alongwith others, at the time of any mishap.
Accordingly, the
Unity is Strength. Doing any work in an organised manner, ensures
its success. Arya Veer Dal is a well-structured Organisation right
from root level, working under one Command.
Sewa
(Service)
The Sewa is the important part of integration the whole mankind.
Even the beasts have been seen becoming favorable by Sewa. The
person who loves the creations of God, becomes his darling. The
Sewa generates this love only. To make the someone yours, the best
way is Sewa. Sewa requires hard work-man-ship. The person going to
serve someone shall put lenience, adoration & generousness in his
heart. He must be well cultured and capable to serve others.
