Satyarth Prakash (Hindi: सत्यार्थ प्रकाश, Satyārth PrakāśThe Light of Truth) is an 1875 book written originally in Hindi by Dayanand Saraswati (Swami Dayanand), a religious and social reformer and the founder of Arya Samaj. The book was subsequently revised by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1882 and has been translated into more than 20 languages including Sanskrit and foreign languages, including English, French, German, Swahili, Arabic and Chinese. The major portion of the book is dedicated to laying down the reformist advocacy of Swami Dayanand with the last four chapters making a case for comparative study of different religious faiths.
