(a) Monotheism
(b) Polytheism
(c) Atheism
(d) Monism
Ans: (a) Monotheism
Explanation: The Brahmo Samaj is based on the principles of (a) Monotheism.
The Brahmo Samaj is a religious and social reform movement founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in the early 19th century. The movement aimed to reform and modernize Hinduism, promoting rationality, social equality, and the worship of a single God.
The Brahmo Samaj rejected polytheism (belief in multiple gods) and advocated for the worship of one supreme deity. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, along with other leaders and intellectuals associated with the Brahmo Samaj, emphasized the concept of monotheism, believing in the existence of a single divine entity that transcends various religious denominations and rituals.
While atheism and monism have also been explored in different philosophical and religious contexts, the Brahmo Samaj primarily focuses on the idea of monotheism, recognizing the unity of the divine and promoting the worship of a single God as a central principle of its teachings and practices.
