In a remarkable interfaith gesture, Carmelite nuns and well-known Hindu statesman Rajan Zed prayed together in Reno (Nevada, USA) on February 13 for the “peace and love” of humanity.

Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, prayed from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use, with lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures.
