Answer
The factors that convinced me to join the Brahmo Samaj and the views of Raja Rammohan Roy that influenced me were:
- The belief of Brahmo Samaj in Monotheism (worship of one God) and its emphasis on prayer, meditation, charity, morality and strengthening of bonds of unity between men of all religions and creeds.
- All the work Raja Rammohan Roy did to prevent discrimination based on the caste system, abolition of sati and purdah system, condemnation of polygamy and child marriage, advocacy of widow remarriage greatly influenced me.
