| June 10, 2010 | Hindu statesman Zed invited to Boise Mormon Temple | |
Nevada (US): In a remarkable interfaith gesture, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, who delivered the reportedly first Hindu invocation of Boise City Council on June eight since its incorporation in 1866, visited the Boise Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) on an invitation before the historic invocation. Zed, who is President of
Universal Society of Hinduism, was received at the Temple by J. Craig Rowe, Quorum
of the 70 (Idaho) of LDS; R. Craig Rasmussen, Director Idaho Public Affairs of
LDS; Wenden Waite, Temple President; and Laura K. Waite, Temple Matron. Tallest
East Tower of Boise LDS Temple , dedicated in 1984, has gold leafed figure of
Angel Moroni and his trumpet and words "Holiness to the Lord" and "House of the
Lord" are inscribed twice on it. According to LDS sources, Jesus Christ is the
head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which has been restored
by God through the Prophet Joseph Smith (1805-44). Hinduism, oldest and third
largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksh (liberation)
is its ultimate goal. |
