Devotees performing Havan service to cleanse the atmosphere
Hundreds of Guyanese American Arya Samajists, under the banner United Arya Samajs Foundation Inc., turned out at the Arya Spiritual ground on 133rd Street in Richmond Hill last Sunday for the annual observance of the founding of the Arya Samaj movement. At the open air mass, devotees from several Arya Samaj organizations, performed religious services and gave speeches to mark the auspicious occasion.
The Havan and special mantras marking the occasion of the 137th Anniversary was presided over by Dr Satish Prakash and Pandit Ramlall. The near 500 attendees were treated to special bhojan and prasad. There were also special services throughout the week to mark the foundation of the faith.
The Arya Samaj faith, to distinguish it from the Sanatanist faith, of Hinduism was founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1875 in Mumbai, India. The principal aim of Arya Samaj is the upliftment and propagation of the spiritual, social, physical and educational advancement of all mankind.
