Bkahmo Somaj (Tiieistic Church) is a religious and social association in India, originated by the celebrated Hindu Rajah Rammohan Roy in 1830 under the title "Society of God." The accession of a wealthy Calcutta Brahmin in 1842 gave the movement a great impetus, which was also much aided by the spread of English education. Its latest and most advanced development took place under Keshub Chunder Sen, whose visit to Europe in 1870 caused so much interest. It has been Sen's aim to apply the principles of the Church to practical life, and under his leadership the progressive party have seceded from the original Church, and assumed the title of " Brahmo Somaj of India." Their fundamental principles are that there is one Supreme God, the object of worship; that Nature and intuition are the sources whence our knowledge of God is derived ; and that religion admits of progressive development. They ignore all distinctions of caste, and consider all men as God's children ; they abjure all idolatrous rites, and acknowledge no sacred books or places, but value what is good and true in all religions ; and recognise the necessity of public worship. They have a hundred branches throughout India, and maintain two periodicals and several schools.
