Radhe Radhe ! The Hindus have urged for a “Hindu Prayer Room” at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in Germany, which is one of the world’s ten largest airports. FRA already has Christian chapel as well as Jewish, Muslim, and Orthodox prayer rooms. “The prayer and worship rooms at the airport let you escape all the hustle and bustle and find peace and quiet for praying or meditating”, FRA website says. Hindus would appreciate FRA if this “Hindu Prayer Room” had Deities, sacred scriptures, a traditional bell and recorded devotional music; and once-a-month kirtan and arti session was held in it. Prayer/worship to God was highly important in Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, and it would be great to have “Hindu Prayer Room” at FRA so that Hindu passengers did not miss their daily worship rituals/rites while travelling through FRA; which might include recitation of texts, repetition of mantras and dhayan (meditation). Prayer Rooms and Chapel at FRA are reportedly open around the clock. “On the first Wednesday of each month between 12 noon and 1:30 p.m., there is a midday concert in the interdenominational Christian chapel: sometimes a choir sings, while other times a wind ensemble plays”, FRA website states. FRA, Germany’s busiest commercial airport whose history goes back to 1924, covers about 21 square kilometers. Germany’s largest place of employment at a single location with about 75,000 employees, FRA handled about 56.5 million passengers in 2011.
