Lehigh University

Group seeks Hindu prayer room

Hindus are urging for a permanent and exclusive Prayer Room at Lehigh University. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed said that Lehigh should respond to the requirements of Hindu students to provide designated prayer-meditation hall for rituals, quiet reflection, festivals and spiritual exercise; which would help in their personal growth.

The college complex includes Packer Memorial Church, said to be affiliated with the Episcopal Church and which holds Catholic Mass on Sundays, a Muslim Prayer Room (Musalah), a Jewish Student Center and The Chabad House.

Some other universities/colleges in USA now offered Hindu prayer room.

He noted that Hindu students could not even get married according to their traditions in Packer Memorial Church, because it discouraged rice at weddings, which is an important Hindu wedding tradition.

Lehigh University is located at 27 Memorial Drive West. For more information, call 610-758-3000 or visit www.lehigh.edu.
