HAPPY HOLI

Happy Holi to all the viewers.

Message from Ashram

Namah shivay! The commercialization of a spiritually significant festival as Holi is a clandestine plan of those who fear the ascent of the culturally and cosmically rich Indians. So, to distract the loving attention of the countrymen towards the Almighty in order that the imperialistic hold and enslavement is prolonged, certain anti-spiritual elements began celebrating Holi as is done on this day. Harmful colours (Baba ji terms them tools of chemical warfare), extravagant use of water, contaminated and poisonous sweets, hooliganism, courtship etc are all what has remained of this festival. Anything else seems an aberration or a non-celebration. But, if you are a genuine seeker of Self Realization, all of the malpractices stated above are not for you. This is a time for inner celebration rather than outer revelry. On Holi, Baba ji says no intoxication, no drinking. The evening before Holi till the night of Holi is the Sarva Siddhi Kaal. There is a massive surge of cosmic energy in the ambience. It is the night for soul searching. It is the night to meditate and rise above the senses instead of dumping the senses down through consumption of intoxicants. Meditation performed during this time is equivalent to contemplation of years of Tapa. On the full moon night of Holi, which also happens to be Baba ji’s birth anniversary as per Hindu Vedic calendar, one must have as much Amrit bhojan (raw fruits and vegetables) and perform dhyan as many times as possible. In his heyday, Baba ji used to follow a curriculum of Pran kriyas, Shree Vidya sadhna and Amrit bhojan (fruits & milk) throughout the night. He urges all sadhaks to toe a similar line and increase the volume of pran kriyas, sadhna and sankirtan in these 2 days, especially the night of March 16, 2014 till dawn of the next day. Let the inner fire burn all the karmas. Let the inner colours come to the fore. Shun the decadent modern way of celebration. Give up conformism. Plunge in the inner bliss. Happy Holi. Divine Holi. Namah shivay!
