Rampadarat Bobby Seenath

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Rampadarat “Bobby” Seenath, born in Trinidad and Tobago, W.I., on October 30, 1959. He departed this life on February 16, 2026, at 5:50 a.m., following a courageous battle with cancer. Bobby was preceded in death by his father, Seeberan Seenath (1909–1978), and his mother, Soondri Manik (1911–1986). He is survived by his devoted wife, Parbatee; his son, Daryl; daughter-in-law, Jacquelyn; and his beloved grandchildren, Jameson and Shay Seenath. He is also survived by three brothers, three sisters, many nieces and nephews, and his faithful dog, Colby. Bobby’s legacy lives on through his deep love for his family and his steadfast commitment to community service. In 2003, he founded the Mahatma Gandhi Charitable Foundation (MGCF), established at the unveiling of the Mahatma Gandhi statue in his hometown of Gandhi Village, Debe, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I. Within a year, inspired by his profound admiration for Indian culture and its music, the Foundation evolved into a vibrant annual youth talent and dance competition that celebrated cultural heritage and nurtured young talent within the community. A firm believer in Sanatana Dharma and a devoted servant of God, Bobby lived his faith daily. He was instrumental in the development of the Brahma Vidya Peetham Hindu Temple in Nokesville, Virginia. His unwavering devotion was beautifully expressed through Hindu devotional music. A gifted musician, he sang to Bhagwan while playing the harmonium, keyboard, piano, and other instruments. During Satsang, his music served as both worship and spiritual upliftment, bringing comfort and inspiration to many. Equally important to him was nurturing the next generation. He dedicated himself to teaching and mentoring many youths, guiding them in the art of music and encouraging participation in devotional singing and instrumental practice. Through his patience, dedication, and example, he helped preserve and strengthen the tradition of devotional music within the community. Bobby was also an active supporter of international initiatives, including Volunteer Initiative Nepal (VIN), and contributed generously to numerous charitable organizations throughout the United States. Though our hearts are heavy, we remain deeply grateful for the life Bobby lived and the love he shared so freely. He will be dearly missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
