The Douglas County Board of Commissioners historic Hindu invocation Thursday was attended by, from left to right, Commissioner Doug N. Johnson, Board Chair Lee Bonner, Reno-based Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, Board Vice Chair Nancy McDermid, Commissioner Michael A. Olson and Commissioner Greg Lynn.
Reno-based Hindu statesman Rajan Zed delivered the opening prayer from ancient Sanskrit scriptures before the County Board of Supervisors. After Sanskrit delivery, he then read the English translation of the prayer.
Zed, who is the President of Universal Society of Hinduism, recited 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. Supervisors, county employees and public were seen standing in prayer mode with their heads bowed down during this invocation.
