The introduction has Swami’s following words: The liberal angle which motivated the writer is summed up by him in the introduction, where he unfailingly disclaimed to start a new sect or religion and laid his firm faith in the oneness of human society. Its repeated study, research and investigation have greatly contributed to the thinking of humankind, since it was written by the author, more than a hundred years ago. The word Magnum, therefore, has no parallel like that in the context of this work. No doubt, much more crusading spirit was witnessed among the readers of this book who hailed from different races, communities and groups. It created a new flutter and awakening in the society, that made the various thinkers and followers and scholars of different faiths and sects to make drastic changes in their concepts, beliefs and interpretations contained in their Books of Faith. When one analyzes this work from this angle, we have witnessed that this great masterwork(Satyarth Prakash) of Swami Dayanand Saraswati positively made or brought revolution in the socio-political fabric not only of the Indians but of the whole mankind.
To go it further, the writer has not spared the past events and guiding philosophies, which has polluted the human mind and deteriorated the man’s quest for true knowledge and right way of life. This great, book (Satyarth Prakash) is, indeed, and encyclopedia of the various contemporary social religious and political currents cross-currents and movements going on at the time of the writer’s life. But one thing is undoubtedly true about it.
And so his present work does not contain any such alcoholic impact. But as the great writer of this masterpiece Swami Dayanand was a symbol of ultimate morality and spiritualism and was a sage of standing, he never touched a drop of wine. The lexicon (Oxford) says, Magnum, a bottle containing a certain quantity of wine. No doubt, it is a great literary undertaking, as the lexicographic contents denote. The Satyarth Prakash (The light of Truth) is the masterpiece of Swami Dayanand Saraswati.
