Social
and Religious Involvements
Dave
Kissoondoyal has always been involved in Social and Religious activities.
In 2002 he was the Executive Member of the Rose Belle North Government
School Parent Teachers Association.
When
he was living in Mare d’Albert, he was a member of the Arya Samaj of Mare
d’Albert. He was the Secretary of the Mare d’Albert Community Health. He
was also the Secretary of the Geetanjali Sangeet Sangh of Mare d’Albert.
This is an association with the objective of performing religious musical
items including bhajans and kirtans wherever there is any katha or religious
gathering. Currently he is a member of the Arya Sanatan Dharmic Sabha of
Union Park and a member of the Hindi Samelan Sabha of Union Park.

Kissoondoyal believes that by purifying the self, the family and the
society, we can combat all the ills of this society. This will lead to peace
in the world. To purify the society, he has organised, on various occasions,
Kathas for the public. As secretary of the organising committee, he
performed the first katha for the village of Mare d’Albert between the 18th
and 26th April 1987. When he moved to the village of Union Park,
performed various other Kathas as Secretary of the Union Park Arya Sanatan
Dharmic Sabha.
Dave
Kissoondoyal has also studied Indian Philosophy but unfortunately could not
take the examinations since he had to travel to the United Kingdom on
training for his professional commitments. At some stage in time, he also
started the Priest Course from the Mauritius Sanatan Dharma Temples
Federation to acquire the religious knowledge. Dave is inspired by Mahatma
Gandhi and mentions that he will follow the same path as the Mahatma and if
ever he would get a death like Mahatma ji, he would open heartedly accept
such death.
