Nevada (US):Hindus have applauded Kamla Persad-Bisssessar, recently elected first female Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, for taking the Oath of Office on ancient
Hindu scripture Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord). Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in
a statement in Nevada (USA) today, commending Persad-Bisssessar, 58, for this
act, urged other politicians also to do the same. Zed, who is President of Universal
Society of Hinduism, said that as Bhagavad-Gita talked about endeavoring constantly
to serve the world's welfare without any thought of personal gain, it should be
the treatise for all the politicians and rulers of the world. Rajan Zed pointed
out that Bhagavad-Gita also told us about selfless action and selfless service,
always keeping focus on welfare of others and be guided by compassion in our work.
Oath of Office to Persad-Bisssessar was administered by His Excellency President
George Maxwell Richards in a ceremony at Knowsley (Port of Spain). Said to be
settled at least 7,000 years ago, dual-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in
southern Caribbean, heavily influenced by petroleum industry, is known for Carnival,
mesmerizing beaches and calypso music. |
