“It is my privilege to welcome Mr. Rajan Zed to offer the opening prayer before the U.S. House of Representatives. A native of the State of Nevada, he attended San Jose State University in San Jose, California, my alma mater. As president of the Universal Society of Hinduism and a senior fellow/religious adviser to the Foundation for Religious Diplomacy, he has advocated for religious freedom and tolerance throughout the world. His contributions to the religious community worldwide led him to be invited by the president of the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, for a meeting to promote interfaith dialogue. He is particularly known for his work within the Roma community, acting as a voice for the human rights of the 15 million Roma in Europe. That this body supports diversity of spirituality and cultures is a testament to our great institution. For his continued spiritual leadership and for traveling from afar, I would like to thank Mr. Zed for leading us in prayer. ____________________”
