Naveda State senate of US to open with 'Om'
After opening United States Senate in Washington DC with Hindu prayers, its now the turn of a Nevada Senate, a state of US present on th southwestern region.
Nevada Senate and Assembly to open with Hindu prayers in Sanskrit this time in Carson City. Rajan Zed will recite from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use, besides lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita , both ancient Hindu scriptures, in Sanskrit and then provide translation in English.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, opened Las Vegas City Council meeting on Jan. 19 and Sparks City Council on Jan. 25 with ancient Sanskrit prayers. He also delivered the opening prayers in Clark County Board of Commissioners, Carson City Board of Supervisors, Henderson and Boulder City Councils in the recent past in Nevada.
Rajan Zed plans to start and end the prayer with “Om”, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and root language of all Indo-European languages.
Zed has already delivered Hindu prayers in United States Senate in Washington DC, various State Senates and State Assemblies/Houses-of-Representatives, and City Councils in various parts of the country. Most were the first Hindu prayers of these legislative bodies.
Rajan Zed is one of the panelists for “On Faith”, a prestigious interactive conversation on religion produced by The Washington Post. He has been awarded “World Interfaith Leader Award” and is Senior Fellow and Religious Advisor to New York headquartered Foundation for Interreligious Diplomacy, Director of Interfaith Relations of Nevada Clergy Association, Spiritual Advisor to National Association of Interchurch & Interfaith Families, etc.
