Visiting Preachers
The Arya Samaj organised for a number of distinguished preachers to visit East Africa. These preachers became a source of inspiration to the local Hindus. They taught Vedic religion to the African people, visited small towns in East Africa and established a number of centres where Hindi was taught in addition to Vedic religion.

Famous quotes containing the words visiting and/or preachers:
“For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you.”
—Bible: Hebrew Deuteronomy, 6:15.
The words are also found in Exodus 20:5, referring to the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ... for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
“Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
