Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, President of the Universal Society of Hinduism, has been invited to deliver a historic invocation from ancient Sanskrit scriptures to open a session of the American Fork City Council in Utah. During the ceremony, Zed will recite sacred verses from the Rig-Veda, Upanishads, and Bhagavad-Gita, providing English interpretations that focus on transitioning from darkness to light and keeping the welfare of others at the forefront of decision-making. This appearance is part of Zed’s broader effort to bring Hindu prayers to legislative bodies across the United States, highlighting the growing presence of the world’s third-largest religion in the region and promoting interfaith dialogue within local government.
