Finding Religious Freedom

On July 13th I linked to a story about the first Hindu prayer read before that day's Senate session. Unfortunately, predictably, the prayer was interrupted by three Christian protesters. In today's Washington Post the gentleman who delivered the prayer, Chaplain Rajan Zed, wrote a thoughtful response to the protests. Here is an excerpt that particularly struck me:

Bhagavad-Gita, one of the ancient Hindu scriptures, says: “In whatever way and path, humans worship Me, in that same path do I (meet) and fulfill their aspirations and grace them. It is always My Path that humans follow in all their different paths and journeys, on all sides.” It further says, “Whatever form (of the Divine) any devotee with faith wishes to worship, I make that faith of his steady.”
