Religious statesman Rajan Zed warmly welcomed in Idaho
Distinguished religious statesman Rajan Zed was warmly welcomed in Boise, which he visited to open the Idaho State Senate on March three with its first historical Hindu invocation since Idaho acquired statehood in 1890.
This prayer in Idaho Senate, upper house in the State Legislature, contained verses from Rig-Veda, the oldest existing scripture of the mankind still in common use, besides Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. Zed started and ended the prayer with “Om”, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work.
