Description:
What does it mean to pray in a time of injustice?

In this session, Sunita Viswanath reflects on prayer not as passive longing, but as embodied resistance—a prayer that moves through feet, hands, voices, and lives.

Drawing inspiration from Burmese scholar and human rights advocate Maung Zarni’s call for prayers of resistance, Frederick Douglass’s insistence that freedom comes when we “pray with our legs,” and the legacy of Dorothy Day, Sunita weaves together faith, action, and radical love.

With over three decades of leadership in women’s rights and human rights movements—including co-founding Hindus for Human Rights—Sunita reflects on a way of being Hindu that rejects caste and all systems of inequity.

A session for those longing to align faith with courage, love with resistance, and prayer with action.
