Zed welcome yoga sessions at Santiago Airport
 
Hindus have applauded launching of yoga sessions at Santiago International Airport (SCL), Chile’s busiest airport; calling it a step in the positive direction.
 
SCL is offering complimentary yoga sessions three days a week during peak time passenger traffic at International Departures Gate 15. Currently, these sessions are 90 minutes each in the evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Nuevo Pudahuel, which manages SCL, claims to believe “that the airport is much more than a place of transit and processes”.
 
Welcoming this SCL gesture, distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, urged Nuevo Pudahuel CEO Nicolas Claude to create a permanent yoga space available during all airport hours 365 days a year to all passengers, employees, visitors and vendors if SCL was serious to be a world-class airport, enhance the passenger experience and help reduce their stress levels.
 
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, also urged all South American commercial airports to provide yoga facilities as many USA and world airports now did offer yoga spaces.
 
Yoga, referred as “a living fossil”, was a mental and physical discipline, for everybody to share and benefit from, whose traces went back to around 2,000 BCE to Indus Valley civilization, Rajan Zed noted.
 
Zed further said that yoga, although introduced and nourished by Hinduism, was a world heritage and liberation powerhouse to be utilized by all. According to Patanjali who codified it in Yoga Sutra, yoga was a methodical effort to attain perfection, through the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical.
 
According to US National Institutes of Health, yoga may help one to feel more relaxed, be more flexible, improve posture, breathe deeply, and get rid of stress. According to a recently released “2016 Yoga in America Study”, about 37 million Americans (which included many celebrities) now practice yoga; and yoga is strongly correlated with having a positive self image.  Yoga was the repository of something basic in the human soul and psyche, Rajan Zed added.

Opened in 1967, SCL, also known as Aeropuerto Internacional Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez, serviced over 17.2 million passengers in 2015.

Hindus urge Starz not to trivialize Hindu deities in upcoming TV series “American Gods”
 
Hindus are urging Starz and FremantleMedia not to trivialize highly revered Hindu deities Kali and Ganesh in their upcoming television series “American Gods” premiering on Starz in 2017.
 
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that Goddess Kali and Lord Ganesh were divine and Hollywood was welcome to create projects about/around them showing their true depiction as mentioned in the Hindu scriptures. Reimagining Hindu deities/concepts/scriptures for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it hurt the feelings of devotees.
 
Goddess Kali, Lord Ganesh and other Hindu deities were meant to be worshipped in temples and home shrines and not to be thrown around loosely or dragged around unnecessarily for mercantile greed; Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, indicated.
 
Rajan Zed pointed out that Hindus were for free speech as much as anybody else if not more. But faith was something sacred and attempts at belittling it hurt the devotees. Entertainment executives should be more sensitive while handling faith related subjects, Zed suggested.
 
Zed further said that Hindus welcomed entertainment world to immerse in Hinduism but taking it seriously and respectfully and not for refashioning Hinduism concepts and symbols for personal agendas. Attempts at distorting of Goddess Kali and Lord Ganesh would be slighting of ancient Hindu traditions. He or other Hindu scholars would gladly help if industry needed any assistance in exploring Hinduism, Zed added.
 
Hinduism was the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about one billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought and it should not be taken frivolously. No faith, larger or smaller, should be plundered, Rajan Zed noted.
 
Goddess Kali, who personifies Shakti or divine energy and considered the goddess of time and change, is widely worshipped in Hinduism. Lord Ganesh is worshipped as god of wisdom and remover of obstacles and is invoked before the beginning of any major undertaking. Moksh (liberation) is the ultimate goal of Hinduism.
 
The plot of fantasy “American Gods” reportedly revolves around a war brewing between old and new gods. Created by Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, it is produced by FremantleMedia North America. To be reportedly filmed in Canada and USA, each of its 10 episodes is said to be hour-long. It stars Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Ian McShane, etc.
 
Starz claims to be “a leading integrated global media and entertainment company”. Chris Albrecht and Carmi Zlotnik are its CEO and Managing Director respectively. FremantleMedia claims to be a global content company which makes over 10,000 hours of programming a year. Cecile Frot-Coutaz is the CEO.

Hindus welcome yoga classes at Paris airports
 
Hindus have commended launching of yoga classes at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports; calling it a step in the positive direction.
 
These classes, being offered till August 13 on Fridays and Saturdays, include yoga and breathing exercises in the boarding lounges of Paris-Charles de Gaulle (terminals 1, 2A, 2C, 2E, 3) and Paris-Orly (South and West terminals) airports and are open to all travelers, to make “time at the airport truly enjoyable”. The tagline of this special service is “Stay Zen all summer with ParisYogaAéroport!” and it is part of the pledge “Paris loves you”.
 
Welcoming this gesture, distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, urged Aéroports de Paris (ADP, which manages these airports) CEO Augustin de Romanet to create permanent yoga spaces at these Paris airports available during all airport hours 365 days a year to all passengers, employees, visitors and vendors if ADP was serious to keep these as world-class airports, enhance the passenger experience and help reduce their stress levels.
 
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, also urged all commercial airports of Europe to provide yoga facilities as many USA and world airports now did offer yoga spaces.
 
Yoga, referred as “a living fossil”, was a mental and physical discipline, for everybody to share and benefit from, whose traces went back to around 2,000 BCE to Indus Valley civilization, Rajan Zed noted.
 
Zed further said that yoga, although introduced and nourished by Hinduism, was a world heritage and liberation powerhouse to be utilized by all. According to Patanjali who codified it in Yoga Sutra, yoga was a methodical effort to attain perfection, through the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical.
 
According to US National Institutes of Health, yoga may help one to feel more relaxed, be more flexible, improve posture, breathe deeply, and get rid of stress. Yoga was the repository of something basic in the human soul and psyche, Rajan Zed added.
 
In 2015, ADP handled over 95 million passengers and 2.2 million metric tonnes of freight and mail at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly. Edward Arkwright is its Deputy CEO
