Hindus are urging for a designated Hindu Prayer Room named as “Hindu
Mandir” at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in New York, one
of the world’s leading airports.
JFK Airport already has Our Lady of the Skies Roman Catholic Chapel, Christ for the World Protestant Chapel, International Synagogue and International Islamic Center on the Departure Level of its Terminal Four. JFK Airport is operated by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), which reports to New York and New Jersey governors.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that as lot of Hindu passengers daily used JFK Airport and many Hindu employees worked for various agencies and businesses there; it would be nice if they had a quiet facility at the airport where they could pray/meditate/worship and perform religious services.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged governors Andrew M. Cuomo (New York) and Chris Christie (New Jersey), PANYNJ Board Chairman John J. Degnan and Executive Director Patrick J. Foye to work in this direction as an issue of fairness and equality in customer service. He or other Hindu scholars would be glad to help, if asked, regarding the structure of “Hindu Mandir”.
