A living legend was he, born in February 1824, <br />Re-establishing Dharma, he emphasized Vedic law. <br />He fought unrighteousness with the Holy Vedas in hand, <br />The weapon of truth being his major command. <br /> <br />He battled inequality and eradicated social discrimination, <br />Uplifting the unfortunate who were treated with degradation. <br />By serving humanity, God’s servant he prove to be, <br />In each person, he never failed to recognize divinity. <br /> <br />By his knowledge and wisdom, not only did he talk the talk, <br />But by living within God’s laws, he also walked the walk. <br />Dispelling ignorance, he illuminated the word with light, <br />To uphold Vedic Dharma, did he continuously fight. <br /> <br />He breathed his last on October 30th 1883, <br />Leaving behind his footprints of a great legacy. <br />We celebrate his life on the auspicious occasion, Divali <br />As we strive to tread in the path of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. <br /> <br /> <br />Namaste. <br />Bless! !<br /><br />Vijaiya Ramkissoon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-legacy-of-maharishi-dayanand-saraswati-i/
