Dear Editor,
I wish to reply to an article published on 28th July, 2017 by Mr. Badree Etwaroo, Phd, referring to the Guyana Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha. I am a young Hindu priest, and member representing the oldest organisation in Guyana, the Maha Sabha Ashram. I understand that perfection is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves; the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough.
Mr. Etwaroo, I oppose your absurd statements about the Maha Sabha being run by unintellectual individuals and would like to ask you that if your critical thinking is that authoritative to make such statements, why not voice your suggestions on the board of executive members so that it can be taken into consideration?
Mr. Editor, I wasn’t expecting any better. The Guyana Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha currently has Pandit’s training classes, Hindi, Sanskrit and philosophy classes. Many other cultural activities take place yearly in which various organisation’s and government ministries are witnesses to. Mr. Etwaroo, don’t try to silence other people’s genius just because you’re too deaf to hear your own.
When you judge others you do not define them, you define yourself by revealing your true character of being a “staunch Hindu” as you call yourself to be. Our motto at the Sabha vows to “protect your Dharma as Dharma will protect you”. Hence, your unethical suspicions display your negligence in protecting your Dharma.
I make no hesitation in welcoming your critical opinions as we can work together to uphold dharma in a cohesive manner.
But in closing, I wish to tell you that criticism will only plant fear in the heart and minds of our fellow humans, but it can never foster love and affection amongst Hinduism.
Pandit Ubraj Narine, JP
Priest in charge
Maha Sabha
