The followers of Dayananda included Madam Cama, Pandit Guru Dutt Vidyarthi, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Lala Hardayal, Madan Lal Dhingra, Ram Prasad Bismil, Mahadev Govind Ranade, Swami Shraddhanand, Mahatma Hansraj, Lala Lajpat Rai and others. One of his most influential works is the book Satyarth Prakash. He was a sanyasi (ascetic) from boyhood, and a scholar, who believed in the supremacy and antiquity of the Vedas.
Maharshi Dayananda supported the doctrines of Karma (Karmasiddhanta in Hinduism) and Reincarnation (Punarjanma in Hinduism). The Theosophical Society and the Arya Samaj were united from 1878 to 1882. Among Maharshi Dayananda's contributions are his promoting of the equal rights for women, such as the right to education and reading of Indian scriptures, and his intuitive commentary on the Vedas ins Hindi so that the common man might be able to read them. Dayanand was came out with the concepts and words Swadeshi and Harijan. Gandhiji used and supported both of them.
