Centres – Veda Dharma Sabha Verulam

1985

The Veda Dharma Sabha in Verulam was established by a group of stalwarts in the community. The Sabha was initially set up to propagate the teaching and learning of Hindi. Hindi classes were started in 1968 by a few dedicated individuals. Pandit and Pandita Sewpaul were active members of the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha (APS) and hence their field work in the north coast of Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN) resulted in a number of Arya Samaj affiliates being established.

Today

Our pandits and panditas form the backbone of our propagation movement in the teaching of Hindi and the performance of Vedic Sanskars. We also have a strong aspirant group of youthful candidates who are at different stages of learning in the priesthood. Some of these members are teaching Hindi and some are learning the language. The VDS is affiliated to the APS and Hindi Shiksha Sangh of South Africa.

The Veda Dharma Sabha of Verulam is a very successful name brand in the north coast.
