TRINIDAD, October 15, 2003: Devant Maharaj of Trinidad’s Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha sends this report: “On the eve of 2003 Divali celebrations Pundit Krishna Maharaj, the Dharmacharya of Trinidad & Tobago, died today. Pundit Krishna, as he was fondly called, was the spiritual leader of the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha of Trinidad & Tobago and considered the most revered Hindu pundit on the island regardless of Hindu sect. Pundit Krishna has been a pundit for over 40 years and has conducted pujas not only in Trinidad but also the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. Pundit Krishna raised the spirits nationally in 1996 when he refused the Trinity Cross — Trinidad’s Highest National Award. Pundit Krishna accepted the honor but respectfully refused the award. For years Hindus have been lobbying to change the award. Pundit Krishna leaves behind two sons both of whom are respected pundits. Pundit Krishna’s death will leave a deep void in the Hindu community.
