| May 3, 2010 | Sanskrit mantras to open Yuba City Council meet in California | |
Nevada (US): City Council of Yuba City, known as 'Prune Capital of
the World', will open with Sanskrit shlokas from ancient Hindu scriptures on May four. Rajan Zed, acclaimed Hindu statesman, will deliver invocation from Sanskrit
scriptures before Yuba City Council on this day. After Sanskrit delivery, he then
will read the English translation of the prayer. Sanskrit is considered a sacred
language in Hinduism and root language of Indo-European languages. Zed, who is
the president of Universal Society of Hinduism, will recite from Rig-Veda, the
oldest scripture of the world still in common use, besides lines from Upanishads
and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. He plans
to start and end the prayer with "Om", the mystical syllable containing the universe,
which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work. |
