Oklahoma State Senate in Oklahoma City will start its day with Hindu prayers on April 30, containing verses from world?s oldest existing scripture.
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed will deliver the invocation from ancient Sanskrit scriptures before the Senate. After Sanskrit delivery, he then will read the English interpretation of the prayer. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and root language of Indo-European languages.
Zed, who is the President of Universal Society of Hinduism, will recite from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use; besides lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. He 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.
Reciting from Brahadaranyakopanishad, Rajan Zed plans to say ?Asato ma sad gamaya, Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya, Mrtyor mamrtam gamaya?, which he will then interpret as ?Lead us from the unreal to the real, Lead us from darkness to light, and Lead us from death to immortality.? Reading from Bhagavad-Gita, he proposes to urge Senators to keep the welfare of others always in mind.
Zed is a global Hindu and interfaith leader. Bestowed with World Interfaith Leader Award; Zed is Senior Fellow and Religious Advisor to Foundation for Religious Diplomacy, Spiritual Advisor to National Association of Interchurch & Interfaith Families, on the Advisory Board of The Interfaith Peace Project, etc. He has been panelist for ?On Faith?, a prestigious interactive conversation on religion produced by The Washington Post; and leads a weekly interfaith panel ?Faith Forum? in a Gannett publication for over seven years.
Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about 1.1 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.
Mary Fallin and Todd Lamb are Governor and Lieutenant Governor respectively of Oklahoma, also known as Sooner State; while Mike Schulz is President Pro Tempore of Oklahoma Senate, which has 48 seats and whose history goes back to 1907.
