Hartford Mayor and Hindu Statesman Rajan Zed Discuss Pluralism

Published: June 19, 2011

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed and Hartford Mayor Pedro E. Segarra today discussed how various faith groups could work together for the welfare of all and bring more cohesiveness in the community.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that all religions should work jointly for a just and peaceful world. Dialogue would bring mutual enrichment.

Rajan Zed visited Segarra on 13th of June and sprinkled few drops of sacred water from river Ganga in India in his office as a blessing. He also presented Segarra with a copy of Bhagavad-Gita, an ancient Hindu scripture.

Zed later read lines from Sanskrit scriptures at Hartford City Council meeting which was reportedly its first Hindu prayer since it was incorporated in 1784.

Hartford was named in 1637. It houses USA's oldest public park (Bushnell Park), oldest continuously published newspaper called the Hartford Courant and the oldest public art museum "The Wadsworth Atheneum."
