Brahma Samaj Brahmo Samaj : a religion founded by Raja Rammohan Roy in 1828 which spread throughout Bengal. It rejected the Vedas & Hindu forms of worship & caste system without caring or daring to see that evils of caste-creed-class have always been universally practised in East & West, South & North of this blessed earth, but generously accepting ‘some’ Christian doctrines & rituals then introduced to save the souls of Hindu natives. In 1860s the religion split into two – one under Debendranath Tagore & the other under Keshab Sen. In 1878, some of Keshab’s followers formed the Sādhāran Brahmo Samāj.
