Celebrating Holi
Holi is great Indian cultural festival  wherein all people young and old, men and women, children all participate with great enthusiasm.  It is also called the festival of colours in most northern states of India.   Though we may find many colours – red, green, yellow, etc used, very rarely find black.   Each colour has some meaning and resemblance.  So we have to better avoid black colour, black deeds and bad thoughts so as to make our mind and body happy and joyful.
Holi  is a Hindu spring festival celebrated in the Indian subcontinent, also known as the "festival of colours" It signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika Dahan where people gather, perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil be destroyed the way Holika, the sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, was killed in the fire. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi – a free-for-all festival of colours,[9] where people smear each other with colours and drench each other.

Mataji Nirmaladevi had many times elaborated the importance of Holi.  The reference to the story of Holika and Pralhad is also of great importance.  It must be understood that Holika died in the flames of fire , but the small little boy – Pralhad escaped unhurt.  It shows that divine power always guards the good person and demon like Holika passes away. (reference -https://www.amruta.org/2002/03/29/holi-puja-delhi-2002/ )

On the occasion of Holi we have to burn all ill will, hatred, bad elements and thinking of our mind.  We have to purify ourselves  and then only the divine power would always protect us and make our life really colourful and full of joy.
