The Brahmo Samaj is the societal component of the Brahmo religion which is mainly practiced today as the Adi Dharm, after its eclipse in Bengal, consequent to the exit of the Tattwabodini Sabha from its ranks in 1859.
It was conceived at Kolkata in 1830 by Dwarkanath Tagore and Ram Mohan Roy as a reformation of the prevailing Brahminism of the time (specifically Kulin practices) and began the Bengal Renaissance in the nineteenth century, pioneering all religious, social and educational advancement of the Hindu community.
Brahmo Samaj PDF – Introduction
The Brahmo Samaj was a monotheistic sect of Hinduism. The movement began through meetings of Bengalis in Calcutta in 1828. One of the leading figures was Ram Mohun Roy. This group was known as the Brahmo Sabha. In 1831, Roy visited England as a reforming ambassador and died there in 1833.
The chief aim of the Brahmo Samaj was the worship of the eternal God. It was against priesthood, rituals and sacrifices. It focused on prayers, meditation and reading of the scriptures. In 1814, Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded the “Atmiya Sabha”. It became known as Brahmo Samaj in 1828. Devendranath Thakur carried him forward. Later Keshav Chandra Sen joined. Due to the differences between them, Keshav Chandra Sen founded the institution named “Bharatvarsha Brahmo Samaj” in 1866.
