Nevada (US): Hindus have applauded Vatican for its message
for the feast of Deepavali wishing joy-filled Deepavali to Hindu Friends, published at Vatican: the Holy See website on October 28. Eminent Hindu statesman
Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, welcomed the Vatican's offer
in this message of "culture that promotes respect, trust and cooperation", "promoting
interreligious dialogue and relations", "increase in cooperation and common action",
"readiness and willingness to enter into productive cooperation", "strengthen
our friendship and cooperation by mutually ensuring and enhancing respect and
trust", and "depend on each other to achieve a common purpose". Zed, who is president
of Universal Society of Hinduism, extolled Vatican 's wish on the occasion, which
said: "May God, the Supreme Light illumine your minds, enlighten your hearts and
strengthen the human bonds in your homes and communities!" Rajan Zed also lauded
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for reportedly including verse from ancient Hindu
scripture Upanishads in the Good Friday Meditations and Prayers led by him at
Roman Colosseum last year. Zed, commenting that it was a remarkable gesture from
Pope, invited him to study more ancient Hindu scriptures, which were very rich
in philosophical thought.
