Hagiography
<p>Pt. Sahadeo Tiwari was born on February 25, 1892, in Sarwan village, Arwal district, Bihar, India. He migrated to Trinidad and Tobago as an indentured laborer in 1912. In January 1932, he founded The Sanatan Dharma Board of Control, an organization aimed at unifying Hindus and promoting the Hindu religion. Pt. Tiwari was known for performing the first Hindu marriage ceremony during the day, despite opposition from other pundits. He imported a book called Vivah Paddhati from India to support his decision. Pt. Tiwari passed away on April 14, 1972, and during his lifetime, he mentored several prominent pundits.</p>
Work Done
<p>In January 1932, Tiwari established The Sanatan Dharma Board of Control.[1] The Port of Spain Gazette noted that the principal objective of the organization was to unify Hindus and further the interest of the Hindu religion among the Hindu section of the local community. The Sanatan Dharma Board of Control was based in Tunapuna and as stated by the Port-of-Spain Gazette, was composed of predominantly orthodox, practising pundits who formed part of a Committee of Management that included: Pundit Sahadeo Tiwari (President), Pt. Bhagouti, Pt. Ramnarine, Pt. Dyalchan, Pt. Seereeram, Pt. Sohan, Pt. Seereedath, Pt. Sooknanan and Pt. Gosyne. The organization also had other objectives which were:[2]</p> <p>(a).To further and assist the education and advancement of the adherents to <strong>Sanatana Dharma</strong>.</p> <p>(b).To provide by voluntary subscriptions of its members with the aid of donations:</p> <p>(1).For the relief or maintenance of members when in distressed circumstances.</p> <p>(2).For the relief or maintenance of members during sickness or infirmity.</p> <p>(3).For the payment of the burial and other incidental funeral expenses of any members if needed.</p> <p>(4).For the giving of a dowry in a suitable case to the daughter of any member who by reason of his or her poverty shall be unable to provide for her marriage.</p> <p>J.C. Jha noted that the group was formed by pundits and the pundits were critical of the Sanatan Dharma Association, another Hindu organization that had a number of Christians on its board.[3]</p>
