Practicing this mantra cleanses our energy field -
"I am a pure being. Everything I hear is clean. I do not allow anyone to talk to me about others' weaknesses or problems...I refuse to listen...I shift the talk to their qualities or change the topic. I am on an emotional diet.”

✨Greetings to All
for the festival of HOLY HOLI✨
HOLI means ‘Holy’, ‘Pure’. HOLI when celebrated with its spiritual significance, it makes the person HOLY. Another term ‘HOLI hai, HOLI hai’ means we have become one with God (Parmatma ke ho liye).
It marks the triumph of Good over Evil.
🔥 The ceremony of Holika Dahan is observed on the full moon night in the month of Phalgun.
Spiritually it means: when our actions are burnt in the fire of knowledge & devotion (GYAN-AGNI), they do not bear any fruit & give freedom from all the sorrows & the cycle of birth & death. People participating in the Holika Dahan are pledging to “burn away” their bad habits and desires accumulated over the year and renew their faith in the Lord.
🌈 It is a festival of colors. It is celebrated with great enthusiasm & revelry. People color each other lovingly & embrace each other saying, ‘We are one with God’ (Ho liye, Ho liye). The difference of cast and creed, high and low, old and young is forgotten. One comes in equanimity, oneness & sameness on this day. After coloring each other you cannot even recognize the face of the other person, hence all become ONE.

THE HEART OF HOLI
By reconnecting with our spiritual essence, we can attain unlimited happiness.
Holi is a much-awaited festival of spring and is not only confined to India but also popular in the west. It is a festival of colours, fun, happiness, love and devotion. In many ways, it is the battle of love. These colours represent love. To win over each other with love that’s what bhakti is all about. Holi also signifies the victory of good over evil.
This year we are in the middle of a pandemic; it may not be possible for most of us to celebrate Holi with the same vigour and vitality. Is everything lost? No! It is time for us to revisit what a festival is. The festivals we celebrate — Dusshera, Deepavali and Holi — are essentially associated with the divine pastimes of the Supreme Lord and His devotees.
The festival of Holi is associated with Prahlad, a great devotee. He was in the midst of the most gruesome situation we could imagine. But he was undisturbed and was always blissful; he revived his eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord through Bhakti Yoga. He was experiencing the unlimited love of Narsimhadeva.
This loving relationship can alone bestow everlasting satisfaction and joy as stated in the Bhagwad Gita, 6:22. The Lord being the Supreme controller protected Prahlad from being burnt in the fire when Holika, who had the boon to enter fire unscathed, took Prahlad on her lap and sat in the fire. Prahlad was saved by his devotion for the Lord, while Holika burnt. Thus, Holi is the time to remember this devotion of Prahlad and to revive it within us.
We are living in a world of uncertainties and limitations; today it is the pandemic, tomorrow it will be something else. We are constantly plagued by enemies of lust, anger, greed, pride, illusion and envy. The only solution is to revive our devotion by following Prahlad’s footsteps. This way we can celebrate Holi every moment in our hearts, irrespective of our external situations. This Holi of heart is the heart of Holi.
Each one of us wants to have a colourful life — a life full of newness, thrill and fun. Every day, we try new fashions, cuisine, gadgets, apps, and hobbies. In fact, the whole economy today is based on promising and providing something new to the customers. Why are we searching for so much variety? It points to a deeper reality of our existence. We are searching for happiness. How we try to paint our life, but it soon loses charm. It is evident in our constant hankering for something new or our constant frustration with what we have.
Is it a dead end? Is our search for everlasting and ever fresh happiness never going to succeed? Yes, it can succeed. The fact that we have a longing for everlasting and ever fresh happiness, implies that we have had an experience of such happiness in the past. Where was it? When was it? Why don’t we have it now?
The Gita states that because of our unnatural and incompatible desires to enjoy, we are cast into a world of duality and illusion (7:27). There is nothing wrong in desiring to be happy; it is just that we are trying to find happiness in the wrong place. The canvas and the colours are wrong.
It is through reconnecting with our spiritual essence, through the process of Bhakti Yoga, one can attain unlimited happiness in the spiritual realm that fixes one stably in the Truth (6:21). It is possible for every one of us to attain to this state of spiritual bliss. It is our natural position and can be easily achieved by chanting Holy Names and practising the wisdom of the Gita. If we paint our life with the brush of Bhakti Yoga, on the spiritual canvas, we will never lose charm in life.

CREATING A
CULTURAL SYNTHESIS OF
HAPPINESS
A new day is here again, perfect and untainted. Make the best of it, spreading joy and unconditional love throughout. Whether it’s a New Year or the early morning hours of a bright new day, let’s have this driving force within us that this day of mine will be unpolluted, pure and i will achieve the best out of it. Gudi Padwa, similarly, begins with a new day of the Hindu New Year as per the luni-solar calendar. With the inception of the Shaliwahan calendar, this day signifies the defeat of the Shakas by Gautamiputra Satkarni of the Shaliwahan dynasty.
Also known as Chetichand, Chaitra shudh pratipada, Ugadi or Navreh, the history of which is almost 5,000 years old, Gudi Padwa has many more events associated with it. The importance of this day, that has been written thousands of years ago, relates to perhaps the only festival, in which the prasadam given is bitter, rather than sweet. The significance of consuming bitter neem leaves today, according to scriptures, is that it removes all the impurities from within and one doesn’t have any bitterness left within against any other person. By consuming bitter neem leaves, if 80% of our physical problems can be healed, can we not heal the remaining with positivity? Shiva consumed poison to save the world and we can surely consume the bitter neem to save ourselves.
This day is considered to be auspicious due to the science of cosmic computation. The sun this day, comes vertically above where the meridians and the equator meet. The reflection of the sun falling upon this point of intersection has a high level of energy and this energy is drawn into households through the Gudi.
Attracting prosperity, good health, and good luck, Gudi Padwa celebrations include the ritual of suspending a copper vessel, from a stick, believed to ward off evil. This process pulls in solar energy into the house, acting as an earthing mechanism. To bring in prosperity along with it, a cloth is added with bitter neem strings, carrying the message that no bitterness from outside enters us or our homes. This is known as the Bramhadhvaj, or Brahma’s flag, after the belief that Brahma saved this world from a deluge, creating time and universe. Some sects also follow the legend of the return of Rama after his 14-year exile in the forest and his subsequent coronation. The season being spring, happiness is in the air. Plants sprout new leaves, and there is general rejuvenation.
The wonderful unity that comes especially with festivals like these, bring oneness with happiness. We are all one with different colours, cultures and languages, then why not celebrate all the diversity?
Let us take a pledge today! Whatever negative things we may hear, read or watch, let it not have its impact on our neuro-motor system. Let us change our lens of perception and see and hear only that which is positive and move ahead with a positive mindset. Let us gather the finer moments of life today, come together and celebrate. When all cultures and traditions come together as one, there will be no atrocity on any one, or on any woman. Let our power not be used in a wrong way, but be used to lift up the Gudi of oneness.
