who founded veda samaj - #25087

I am really confused about something and need guidance. I was reading about various Indian reform movements and, you know, stumbled upon the Veda Samaj. I thought it was pretty interesting, but then I realized I don't even know who founded Veda Samaj! It's like, I kept digging into all these details, but that one info just slipped through the cracks. I remember my grandfather talking about how important the Veda Samaj was for promoting social reform and women's rights back in his day, and I feel kinda lost without knowing who was behind it. Like, was it just one person, or a group? I read somewhere it was founded in the late 19th century, but that doesn't help much without knowing more about the founder. If anyone can shed light on who founded Veda Samaj and maybe a little about the founder’s vision or contributions, that would be super helpful! Thanks, friends!
