Holi is around the corner, March 24th this year!
When we say life is colorful, we describe our emotions, our happiness. When we are down with sadness we often describes our lives as black and white! But, aren't white and black colors too! Our country is one full of spiritual consciousness where every action has a meaning, same way, celebration of Holi too has its own significance. They say, Holi is celebrated as an expression of faith and belief that each day will be as colorful as the nature around! Wishing everybody a very happy Holi filled with all vibrant health, happiness and beautiful memories!
Green stands for nature, a new beginning and happiness. Today the farmers who produce the GREEN for us, are quitting their lives just because of one simple reason that we people don’t even care about, water shortage! So lets celebrate this Holi without water, with the powdered colors and pay a little respect to those who have given up their lives in the form of suicides, for those who do not get to drink a single drop of clean water any day, for those who are giving up their lives for not being able to produce those GREENS, greens that are meant to be in our dishes in all our meals!
The color yellow, stands for its healing power. In India, it is symbolic for holiness. Why not this Holi be spend trying to heal the people who are going through some stress, need support, need a ray of hope in darker times! Not much, lets start with our own inner selves, our siblings, our friends, neighbors, our maids or whomsoever we know, who's not having a great time this festival!
Blue stand for power and life and so when we already know water is colorless, we still associate it with the color blue. The universal roof that we all have above us, is also blue in color, the horizon. This Holi, let us give the present of life to those in need (water) by not wasting gallons of water playing Holi! We cannot give the farmers the water they need, but at-least do our parts by not wasting it this Holi.
Celebrations can be done in many other ways, playing with water is no compulsory or the only option we have. Let us try to keep those people in our prayers who are struggling every single minute for each drop of water to grow greens, that we need to fill our bellies! Each helping hand matters. If not others, let us try to fill colors in our own lives by keeping a positive mind, a smiling face, those who suffer, keeping them in our prayers. Life is beautiful, each color, no matter even if it is white or black too have their own significance. Appreciation is the key to a colorful life! May this festival be spent in bliss.
HAPPY HOLI
