The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha’s 40th anniversary was described by President Donald Ramotar as a time for reflection on the contribution made by its founder Pandit Reepu Daman Persaud, and he called on the organisation’s executives to help build unity amongst all Guyanese.
In lauding the late Pandit, he said, “In 1974, times were not easy, and if he was not who he was, it would have been difficult for this organisation to survive”. The Government Information Agency said that he was speaking at the Shri Krishna Mandir in Campbellville on Wednesday evening.
He urged guests to seek knowledge and not be swayed by reports by some sections of society who are practising similar tactics to those seen in the mid 1960s which led to life deteriorating for all.
Head of the Dharmic Sabha and daughter of the later Persaud, Dr. Vindhya Persaud said that 40 years for any organisation requires immense struggle, dedication and commitment and that was displayed by her father when he answered the call which led to the creation of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha.
