Recitations from ancient Sanskrit scriptures will reverberate in a Christian

church in

Nevada on the occasion of coming Thanksgiving eve service.

 

Rajan Zed, the prominent Hindu chaplain, will read from Rig-Veda (oldest

existing

scripture of the world dated from around 1,500 BCE), Upanishads (Hindu

scriptures

containing mystical teachings), and Bhagavad-Gita (famous philosophical and

spiritual

poem) in Trinity Episcopal Church in Reno (Nevada) during Twenty-second Annual

Thanksgiving Service of Northwestern Nevada to be held on November 21 evening.

 

Despite conflicts around the world, various faith traditions in northwestern

Nevada will

come together to share the spirit of love on Thanksgiving, Zed says.

Shanti-Shanti, the

only Sanskrit rock band of the world, will perform on the occasion. Choirs from

area

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Trinity Episcopal Church will

also sing. A

procession of the clergy dressed in an array of religious garb will be held

before the

Service.

 

All people have more in common than they have in conflict and challenge today is

to seek

unity that celebrates diversity, Zed adds.
