Name of Religious Site: |
Mandir Hindu Devotional Society |
Tradition: |
The type of Hinduism practiced was described to me as Multidenominational Hinduism, Sanatan Dharma (everlasting religion). Punditji Ramanarine explained that to devote oneself to only one form of God would be foolish when God had descended in so many forms. One must honour all forms of God. As such, on the worship altar there are representations of many of the most popular deities in the Hindu pantheon, and prayers are said for each in the duration of the worship service. Festivals to honour each deity individually are also celebrated. |
