This video made me curious about the construction of the temple and I did some research about the guy who built it - what a remarkable gentleman he was. Thanks for the upload very beautiful, peaceful and scenic.
Hi Sam I was curious as well about the construction...im sure it was quite a piece of work but totally worth it.! Thank you for your feedback and also thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for the viewing of THE TEMPLE BY THE SEA. Very educational with a history of how it started, by the late and great pundit. I have never been there, but thanks again,you took me there by video. Congratulations your VLOG, is the best, with showing street signs, explanation history of the area.I enjoyed it.Im your new follower,and you dont go SPEEDING FAST, that I cant see anything. Thanks again.
My dad took me here 30 years ago. It was so different back then. No way built-in like it is now. There was just a car park,the temple as I remembered was small almost like a one room and to get to it you had to walk on a pebble bridge built by sadhu himself into the sea itself. The temple back then was truly in the sea.The sea water was at your feet on that blessed pebble bridge. It was amazing.
Hi dinesh I am most happy to hear about your experience. The temple has come a long way and which is great 👍 over there years they have done quite an amazing job with its maintenance. Thank you for watching.
Been there in the late 60's and it was just a a one room building with a connecting bridge of rock stones in water. It is beautiful now. Thanks fo sharing. ♥️🇺🇸🙂
Beautiful Temple in the sea at at Waterloo in Carapichaima, Trinidad and Tobago [WEST INDIES] 🚩🕉️ This Hindu Temple at in Trinidad is testament of one man’s love of Hinduism. The Temple was the 25-year attempt of Siewdass Sadhu to construct a worship centre at no-man’s land - the sea. Sadhu was denied land to build his beloved temple and took his struggle offshore, toiling and unloading buckets of dirt into the Gulf in an effort to create artificial land. 👏 Overview ************ This Hindu temple was built through perseverance and strength. The Waterloo Temple, better known as Temple in the Sea, is an octagonal- shaped colourful structure. At the entrance of the temple, stands a statue of its designer Seedas Sadhu. Flags and statues adorn the temple’s perimetre. Before entering, you must remove your shoes because once inside, you are on holy ground. The beauty of reverence is reflected in the well-crafted murtis of Lord Hanuman, Lord Ganesh, Lord Shiva and Mother Durga and flowers adorned around them. The temple was first built in 1947 by indentured labourer Sadhu, whose dream was to build a place of worship. That dream was short lived as, five years later, it was destroyed by the government of the time since it was built on State-owned Caroni land. Not discouraged, Sadhu rebuilt the temple - this time in the sea to avoid the further incident. For the next 25 years, Sadhu dedicated himself to completing the temple. On his bicycle and in a leather bag, he carried stone by stone, assembling the base of the temple. In 1994, the government at the time helped finish the temple in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the coming of Indians to the country. A pier was added to ensure the Waterloo Temple could easily be accessed during high tide. This Hindu Temple at Waterloo in Carapichaima, Trinidad is testament of one man’s love of Hinduism.
