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 />
