 SN SOS extended its helping hands once again. On 5/30/2010 it awarded a 2010-11 Scholarship to Dindial Mohan, a deserving student of No. 50 Village, Corentyne, Berbice. Dindial was selected based on a number of factors: (i) he is currently a Hindu priest in his community; (ii) he is a teacher at Tagore Memorial Secondary School; (iii) he is the bread-winner of his family, consisting of his mother and grandmother; and (iv) he has successfully passed eight subjects at the GCE O’Levels and CXC examination. Although Dindial is already accomplished at this young age and despite the many hurdles he is faced with, he is still committed to further his studies at the University of Guyana. Based on this commitment and the many other positive factors, SN SOS is of the belief that Dindial is a role-model who will be an invaluable asset to his community, and thus a perfect candidate for the scholarship. The members of SN SOS would like to congratulate Dindial Mohan on this well deserved Scholarship and wish him continued success. Pandit Ram Hardowar, a Director of SN SOS and Spiritual Acharya of Shri Surya Narayan Mandir remarked that with Saraswati Ma’s blessings the scholarship should enable Dindial to continue his educational endeavors so that he can achieve his individual goals as well as increase his contribution to society.

 Sunday , July 25th was a special day at Shri Surya Narayan Mandir (SSNM). Devotees and about 135 youths attending the annual spiritual youth camp observe a special session of Guru Purnima. Guru Purnima is the day set aside for worship, special recognition, and to give thanks to one’s Guru for his teachings and direction that he provides to his Chelas and devotees. As stated in our Shastras it is only through the Guru’s blessings that one can realize the truth about who they are, and gain Moksha. SSNM is a teaching institution and on this day the teaching continued. The master of ceremony Anandji did a beautiful job in explaining to the devotees, and especially the children in attendance who the Guru is, and why we need a Guru. In essence the Guru is Bhagawan in the form of a man; he is the remover of darkness. He brings light and happiness to his Chelas life by lifting the veil of Maya that encompasses them.
