HIS HOLINESS<br />
PANDIT<br />
HARDOWAR PANDAY<br />
DHARMACHARYA<br />
1924-2006<br />
The Spiritual Leader and<br />
Founder of<br />
<strong>Shri</strong> <strong>Surya</strong> <strong>Narayan</strong> <strong>Mandir</strong>.<br />
His holiness, Pt. Hardowar Panday Ji,<br />
established <strong>Shri</strong> <strong>Surya</strong> <strong>Narayan</strong> <strong>Mandir</strong> in<br />
North America in 1993. Panditji started his<br />
career as a Priest at the tender age of ten.<br />
As a little boy, he had to represent his<br />
father at religious and community affairs.<br />
His Guru, Pt. Lallman Sukul Vidyalankar<br />
and his Vidya Guru Pt. Basdeo Sharma<br />
were both prominent and knowledgeable priests known throughout the Caribbean.<br />
He motivated the residents of Crabwood Creek, Guyana to construct a <strong>Mandir</strong>,<br />
which today stands with its beautiful Murties as a symbol of his love and<br />
dedication to Hinduism. It was in recognition of his outstanding service to Sanatan<br />
Dharma that the Guyana Pandits Council, in 1972, awarded him the prestigious<br />
title of "Dharma Ratna.”<br />
He migrated to the United States in August 1988; where he continued serving his<br />
community with the same zeal and enthusiasm. During retirement he compiled and<br />
published a very thorough and authoritative book on Hindu rituals, entitled<br />
"Karma Kandha Padhati," along with a number of prayer and bhajan books. By<br />
establishing this mandir in New York, Panditji was able to serve the Hindu<br />
community with vigor and energy.<br />
Here at Shree <strong>Surya</strong> <strong>Narayan</strong> <strong>Mandir</strong>, Panditji has had a tremendous impact on the<br />
lives of all devotees. He visualized the need for another <strong>Surya</strong> <strong>Mandir</strong> in Orlando<br />
-- currently under construction.<br />
In recognition of his years of service, he was awarded the most prestigious title of<br />
Dharmacharya. May <strong>Surya</strong> <strong>Narayan</strong> continue to bless him. His work continues ...<br />
