Hindu Community Expresses Support
As a human being and as a Hindu, and on behalf of the Hindu Community of Greater Akron Area, I condemn in strongest terms the massacre of Muslims assembled for their Friday prayer in the mosques in New Zealand. Writing from my hospital bed in an environment of kindness, compassion, and healing provided by my care givers, I try to feel the pain of victims of the New Zealand tragedy and pray for them and their loved ones. While modern popular technologies have enabled the lethal spread of terrorism worldwide, each one of us can do our part to counter it through kindness, compassion and caring by our own works and networks.
Peace, Namaste
