Triveni Club
“It is not in the culture of Hindus, to trade our conscience for politics”, says Dev Benessersingh the vice-president of the Triveni Club based at Beau Bassin with the physical establishment named Triveni Hall. Socio-cultural associations and clubs nowadays have unfortunately become the propaganda tool of politicians but Triveni Club wants to set itself apart. Triveni Club knows no political leaders and adheres only to dharma.
Brief history of Triveni Club
Existing in Mauritius around 60 years from now, the Triveni Club is a socio cultural association. It initially started as one of the think tank of Hinduism in the Island. The architect of this visionary project was the late Sir Kher Jagatsingh. We will never have a second like him. Dev Benessersingh says to us.
Small club will become big. And indeed with years members of the Triveni Club grew in numbers and the club became well known in Beau Bassin. Triveni Club has risen through the visions of Sir Kher Jagatsingh and many far-sighted persons. However one day, misfortunes knocked at the door of the Triveni Club. A major fire broke out in the Triveni Hall destroying it partly. This experience was demoralizing but it didn’t end the Triveni Club. Instead with the newly elected committee members, Triveni Hall was reconstructed within two years and is fully in practice now.
Triveni Club’s renaissance
Today, the club is managed by a new team, a new blood determined to instill Triveni Club to its initial identity and reliving its lost glories as a respected Hinduism think tank promoting dharma among Hindus. In this way, this vision will become a reality by means of hosting lectures and social functions while promoting dharma and peace among the Hindu Community and the whole population of Mauritius. With Girish Desai in the presidency, the Triveni Club is getting active with several activities to offer to its members. Yoga Classes are offered on the Wednesdays, fitness classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the Walking Club on the Saturday.
One of its highlights of 2020 was the Bhangra Night and the Divali Fiesta at the Triveni Hall. Although these celebrations are rooted in the Hindu culture, the Triveni club did not give up on the element of reminiscence of our action as stated in Hindu philosophy.

Triveni Club’s stance on Politics
At Triveni Club, we respect everyone’s political differences but we do not approve that a politician sullies the image of the club with politics with the intent to enhance his image and his personal interest.
Hindus are not like sponges and we need to stay resilient against politician attempt to corrupt our mind into the give and take culture. In Hinduism we give without expecting anything. That’s how we define a true Hindu, says the vice-president Dev Benessersingh. With such strong stance taken, the new elected members of the Triveni’s Club are set to lead this socio-cultural association to a journey of discovering, enamoring and instilling dharma in the heart and soul of every Hindu. Just like the Great Mahatma Gandhi once said
“Hindu Dharma is like a boundless ocean teeming with priceless gems. The deeper you dive the more treasures you find.”
