Swaha International

We are a Sanatanist Hindu organisation following orthodox Hindu traditions. Though Hindu based, the people of Swaha engage in the service of humanity. Swaha was formed by the Hindu community for the purpose of spiritual instruction and guidance, social and cultural direction and leadership, and development of the general well-being of the national community. Our mission is to recruit, train and promote leaders of vision, who will eliminate ignorance, dependence and repression, so that a united community can thrive in any environment without relinquishing its rich legacy. We propagate Dharmic principles such as truth, cleanliness, compassion and integrity. As Hindus, we believe in the concepts of Avataar (God's manifestation), Moksha (Union with God), and the preservation of tradition in the contexts of Kaal, Desh and Avasar (time, place and circumstance). There are approximately fifteen centres and branches in Trinidad and Tobago, with affiliate branches in the United States, Canada and India. We heed the "Five P" action call: The Pundits and the People working in a Partnership for Progress in the pursuit of Paramatma. Swaha's History
