The body of devoted philanthropist Harry Saran Ramsaroop, was cremated on Friday at the Ruimzeight crematorium site, West Coast Demerara. Ramsaroop, who died on Tuesday, was the proprietor of the Dharm Shala Home of Benevolence. He was 97.
He was the son of the late Pandit Ramsaroop Maraj, founder of the home. Mr Ramsaroop continued to serve the less fortunate in society after his father developed health-related complications in October 1950 at the age of sixty.
Ramsaroop’s daughter, Kella Ramsaroop, told this newspaper that her father had no major health complaints for a man his age. The Dharm Shala was officially declared open in 1929 by Rev C F Andrews, who was an admirer of Mahatma Gandhi.
In 1939 the same Christian chapel in which the service was conducted, was built, and in 1941, the Dharm Shala extended its service to Berbice, with a building of similar capacity to its Georgetown counterpart, a Hindu temple and a chapel.
The Dharm Shala continues to grow, accommodating hundreds of the less fortunate and destitute people at 11 different locations across the country. Mr. Ramsaroop would be remembered as always devoted to the work of his father throughout the years.
