Inspired by the Vision of Swami Dayanand Saraswati

Swami Dayanand Saraswati (1824–1883), the founder of Arya Samaj, was a pioneering Hindu reformer and Vedic scholar. He challenged blind faith, idol worship, and ritualism, urging a return to the original teachings of the Vedas. His book Satyarth Prakash critically examined various religions, promoting rational thinking and spiritual clarity. In 1876, he gave the powerful call for "Swarajya – India for Indians," inspiring the freedom movement.

His philosophy emphasized truth, self-discipline, and service to humanity. The ten principles of Arya Samaj highlight values like knowledge, unity, civic responsibility, and moral living. He believed the soul (atma) was divine and that serving society was a higher goal than personal liberation (moksha).

Swami Dayanand advocated for social reforms such as the abolition of untouchability, dowry, and sati. He championed women's education, equality, cow protection, and the adoption of Hindi for national integration. Through yoga, teaching, and preaching, he awakened spiritual and national consciousness, earning praise from leaders like S. Radhakrishnan and Sri Aurobindo.

Born into a zamindar family in pre-partition India, Late Shri Jai Dev Hasija Vanprasthi's life was marked by resilience and perseverance. The upheaval of partition brought him to India, where he navigated new challenges with unwavering resolve. His early life was shaped by displacement, but it also laid the foundation for a journey of determination and service.

In 1947, he completed his Matriculation in Pakistan, but the partition disrupted his plans for higher education. Two years later, in 1949, he began his professional career with the Indian Railways. With dedication and hard work, he rose through the ranks to retire honorably in 1979 as a Senior Inspector, earning the respect of his peers.

After retirement, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish a business serving the Indian Railways. This venture laid the foundation for CBM Industries, which grew under his leadership to a turnover exceeding INR 100 million—a testament to his vision and business acumen.

In 2005, he embraced the Vanprasthi phase of life, dedicating himself to social causes. His contributions to our school and the Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram were profound. Even at 82, his energy inspired all, and his legacy continues to guide and uplift those he touched.
