The Atlanta Vedic Temple is a chapter of the Arya Samaj movement, which is a denomination within Hinduism. Swami Dayananda (1825 Ð 1883), an Indian religious reformer, founded the Arya Samaj in 1875, partially out of frustration with British domination of India. The Arya Samaj was a nationalist movement that stressed social reform, and the infallible authority of the Vedas.
