Brah`mo-so*maj" (&?;), n. [Bengalese, a
worshiping assembly.] A modern reforming theistic sect among the
Hindoos. [Written also Brama-samaj.]
- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
Brahmo-Somaj (i. e. church of God), a secession from traditional
Hinduism, originated in 1830 by Rammohun Roy, and developed by Chunder
Sen; founded on theistic, or rather monotheistic, i. e. unitarian,
principles, and the rational ideas and philosophy of Europe, as well as a
profession of a sense of the brotherhood of man no less than the unity of
God.
