Nevada-based Hindu leader Rajan Zed has been invited to deliver the prayer from the Rig Veda, world's oldest scripture, as well as the Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita.
In a statement, Zed said he will start and end the prayer with "Om", the mystical syllable in Hinduism which is used to introduce and conclude religious work.
He will recite from Brahadaranyakopanishad, saying: "Lead us from the unreal to the Real; from darkness to light; from death to immortality". Reading from Bhagavad-Gita, he proposes to urge US Congressmen and Congresswomen to "strive constantly to serve the welfare of the world".
House Chaplain Reverend Patrick J. Conroy has invited Zed "to open the United States House of Representatives with prayer as our guest chaplain".
