सागर में मंदिर और  एक अनन्य भक्त का अदम्य साहस लगभग अकेले दम पर अथक प्रयास, दृढ़ता, अदम्य साहस, और औपनिवेशिक उत्पीड़न के बावजूद वाटरलू खाड़ी, मध्य त्रिनिदाद में समुद्र तट से पांच सौ फीट दूर एक मंदिर का निर्माण ।  एक बंधुवा मजदुर और गरीब भक्त शिवदास साधु हमेशा के लिए अमर बन गए है और प्रेरित कर है एक त्रिनिदादी हिंदू  की इच्छाशक्ति एवं दृढ़ मानसिकता को । शिवदास साधु (Siewdass Sadhu) (1903 - 1971 ) अद्वितीय प्रशंसा और भक्ति का उदाहरण देते हैं और त्रिनिदाद में अभी तक हिंदू समाज के सपनों और आकांक्षाओं का प्रतीक हैं। त्रिनिदाद का एक राष्ट्रीय नायक! हमेशा के लिए हमारे मन में शानदार ढंग से याद रहेगा।  एक सदी पहले, Bhaarat (भारत), जिसका नाम आज त्रिनिदाद और टोबैगो में हिंदुओं के बीच भय (अंग्रेजो द्वारा बंधुवा मजदुर के रूप में लाने के कारण ) और श्रद्धा (हिन्दुओ की पुण्यभूमि) से भर देता है वहां पर श्री बुद्धराम और श्रीमती बिसुन्दिया के घर 1 जनवरी, 1903 को शिवदास जी का जन्म हुआ था ।  चार के उम्र में, वह एक नए देश में अपने माता - पिता और दो छोटे भाइयों के ...
