Answer 1

We need the reformer behind this well known call for religious renewal.

1. The phrase asks people to base their faith directly on the Vedas rather than on later customs.
2. Dayanand Saraswati built his entire reform programme, carried out through the Arya Samaj, around this single idea.
3. He argued that the Vedas contained pure and rational teachings, and that many practices added later had moved society away from them.

So the slogan "Return to the Vedas" was given by Dayanand Saraswati.
