1 Jan 1814 Jahr - Aathmiya Sabha by Raja RamMohan Roy 1814

Beschreibung:

RRR settled in Calcutta in 1814 and soon attracted a band of young men,
with whose cooperation he started the Atmiya Sabha.

In particular, he vigorously opposed
their worship of idols, the rigidity of caste, and the prevalence of
meaningless religious rituals. He condemned the priestly class for
encouraging these practices. He held that all the principal ancient texts of
the Hindus preached monotheism or worship of one God. He published the
Bengali translation of the Vedas and of five of the principal Upanishads to
prove his point. He also wrote a series of tracts and pamphlets in defence of
monotheism.
