Chicago: The third day of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday kicked off with a first-of-its-kind Vedic prayer where the priest sought blessings for a united country. "Even if we have differences, when it comes to the nation, we have to be united and it moves us towards justice for all," said Indian-American priest Rakesh Bhatt as he formally started the third days' proceedings of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. After working in Udupi Ashta Matha for a few years, he worked for a short period in Badrinath and Raghavendra Swami Koil, Salem and joined Sri Sri Vishnu Temple in July 2013. Deputy National Finance Chair of the Democratic Party, Ajay Bhutoria, said, "Rakesh Bhatt's Hindu prayer at the DNC today is a significant moment, showcasing the Democratic Party's commitment to inclusivity and diversity."
