The popularity of the Brahmo Samaj grew as a result of the raising of a new class of educated Indians that resulted from the occupation of India by the British Empire . Its prime belief is that there is only one God . It rejected the Vedas , the Caste System , Polytheism , Idol Worship , and the belief in Avatar s. The core principles of the Brahmo Samaj are: # There is only one God. # No created object is to be worshipped as God, and God alone is to be considered as infallible. The Bengal Renaissance of the nineteenth century had among its luminaries a large number emerging from the Brahmo Samaj, Rabindranath Tagore being the foremost of them. Keshab Chandra Sen ( 1838 – 1884 ) and Protap Mazumdar ( 1840 – 1905 ) are some other notable members of the Brahmo Samaj. EXTERNAL LINKS |
