Hindus offer condolences on Mormon leader Packer’s death

Hindus have offered condolences on the death of Boyd Kenneth Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), also known as Mormon Church, who died on July three in Salt Lake City (Utah, USA).

 
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that they were saddened by the passing of President Packer, 90, highly influential Mormon leader of his time, who authored many publications.
 
A very spiritual man with great inner strength, Packer was instrumental in making church scriptures more comprehensible and was a passionate and master teacher, an accomplished artist and had deep respect for nature and reverence for the ways of God; Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out.
 
The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is the second-highest governing body in LDS after the First Presidency. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, LDS has over 15 million members worldwide.
