If she needed any spiritual direction, he or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide, Zed added.

Rajan Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, said that this exploration might help her discover “Who is she?” (What is the self?). Moksha (liberation) is the ultimate goal in Hinduism.

She is reportedly ‘very spiritual’, vegetarian, meditates, loves to chant, and his friends include some yoga teachers.
