p. 15 · Read in the full issue

On his arrival at the Lawai Temple (Fiji) on September 29, 1931, Pundit Ramchandra, Sanatan Charm preach er, was welcomed by the Hindu com munity of Nadroga, and on the same day a Sanatan Charm Sabha, which the young men joined in large num bers, was established.

There was a huge gathering of In dians at the same place on October 4 to hear the Pundit, who spoke for three hours, giving musical recitations from the holy books Gita, Ramayan and Mahabharat. He laid stress on the need for unity which, he said, must exist between various sections of the Indian community in Fiji if they desired progress.

The Pundit’s lecture was praised by those present, especially the nar ration of that portion of Mahabharat which deals with Prince Abhaimanu.

Hardeo Maharaj, who presided, thanked the Pundit for his lecture and hoped that he would make a long stay in the district, so that the Hin du community might benefit by his wisdom.
