CARSON CITY, NEVADA, March 7, 2007: History will be created when Rajan Zed (e-mail above), Director of Public Affairs of Hindu Temple of Northern Nevada, will read a Hindu prayer/blessing at the opening of the Nevada State Assembly session on March 19 and Nevada State Senate session on May 07, both in Carson City. This will be the first time any Hindu prayer will be delivered in the Nevada State Legislature since its formation in 1864, says Pastor Albert Tilstra, Chaplain Coordinator for Nevada Legislature. Rajan Zed says that he still has to choose which prayer he will deliver, but he is thinking of something from the Rig Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use, dated from around 1,500 BCE. He adds that in keeping with the Legislature tradition, the prayer will offer inspiration, reflection, and encouragement, and will be thought provoking.
