Arya Samaj in Kenya information


AUM or OM is considered by the Arya Samaj to be the highest and most proper name of God.

The Arya Samaj was founded in Nairobi on 5 July 1903, at a meeting at the home of Jai Gopal attended by forty-five people.[citation needed] The small group of Arya Samajis immediately began plans for a centre for its members and on 11 September 1903, the foundation for the first Arya Samaj building in East Africa was laid. Today there is a seven-storey building on this site.
