ONTARIO, CANADA, October 28, 2001: A Trinidadian, Deo Kernahan, former teacher of Montrose Vedic School and also a former principal of a Borough of Etobicoke Public High School, has been selected by the Government of Ontario Ministry of Education to write a chapter on Hinduism in a book entitled, “World Religions” printed by Oxford University Press. Mr. Kernahan, in a telephone interview from his Etobicoke home, told Paras Ramoutar that the assignment was “a great honor for me, Hindus in Canada, and most of all for the people of Trinidad and Tobago”. “World Religions” surveys the history, beliefs, philosophy and issues of each religion. The publication is designed for university-bound students, religious thinkers and scholars in Religion and Philosophy. Mr. Kernahan is a co-founder and past president of the Canadian Council of Hindus, and is now vice-president of the Hindu Institute of Learning.
