The Shanti Homa attracted over 30 Hindu organizations and members of the Jewish and Islamic faiths.  <\/p>\n<p>Similar ceremonies were also offered in many cities in United States, Canada, Australia and around the world. &#8220;We come together to look into the eyes of terror and say we stand together as one people of the world in support of humanity &#8211; not in despair or hopelessness, but rather in love, strength, resolve, and peace for the present and the future&#8221; says Ranna Jani, President of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hindu Temple, Irving, Texas. <\/p>\n<p>The following organizations signed the declaration:<\/p>\n<p>1.
