Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami Gives Opening Prayer in US House of Representatives
On June 4, 2013, Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, the leader of Kauai’s Hindu Monastery in Hawaii, gave the opening prayer for the session of the US House of Representatives as guest chaplain. At the request of the Hindu American Foundation, he was invited by Rep. Ed Royce of California, who gives introductory remarks following the prayer and pledge of allegiance. Satguru was the third Hindu to give the opening prayer at a session of US Congress, and the first swami. Watch the clip from C-SPAN below.

We Hindus are very honoured by the speech given by your Holiness, Satguru Bodhinatha at the House Of Representives. Thank you for spreading non-violence, & suggesting mutual, peaceful solutions to national problems. Thank you to the Hindu American Foundation too for having the faith in Kauai Aahdheenam ‘s dissemination of religious knowledge.
