Georgetown, a Jesuit university, is the first U.S. college with a Hindu priest as a chaplain!

I am a Catholic, a Christian that believes in the universality of the almighty God!
This appointment therefore signifies the necessity of the commonality humanity shared in their quest to find God and therefore live in peace with one another.
My hope is that, through this appointment, mankind can begin to value ourselves as the creation of God, the almighty and heavenly Father, who desire is for all his children to have eternal life.


We are all children of one God, the creator of the universe and of mankind. I however believe that salvation comes through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
Excerpt: The Washington Post


When Brahmachari Vrajvihari Sharan led his first worship service in his new job as a Hindu chaplain Sunday, he knew his audience.
As the service began, he asked worshipers to clear their minds. “Close all the tabs that are open, just as you would do to a Firefox window,” he said.




A Hindu priest at Georgetown, Sharan said, is “very, very surprising. It’s a testament to their commitment and not simply lip service.” Yet he said his new job fits the school’s philosophy: “They would like students to leave Georgetown with a deeper understanding of their spiritual self and their place in an interreligious society.”
