History Of The Brahmo Samaj

History of the Brahmo Samaj by Sivanath Shastri is a comprehensive two-volume account of the origins, growth, and impact of the Brahmo Samaj—a major socio-religious reform movement in 19th-century India. Shastri traces its founding by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, its philosophical evolution, internal schisms, and its role in modernizing Hindu society. Blending historical narrative with personal insights, the work documents key leaders, events, and reformist ideals. It remains a foundational source for understanding India’s reformist awakening and spiritual renaissance during the colonial period.
