Holi: Colours Of Life

Riot of rainbow colours everywhere, Touched I'm by festival's ecstatic air. These colours of many a shade so rife Manifest to me unity of life. And long as these varied colours remain In air, life need never go back in vain. For, hidden truth of every life's the same— May earthly be it or other worldly, Blood of the same body shall fall from frame, Should but a single cell O shattered be. ____________________________________ ___ Holi, the festival of colours, celebrated on 21st March this year commanded a special significance. It coincided with two other occasions: Zoroastrian (Parsis in India)New Year, and vernal equinox when day and night equal. It signifies unity of all life, and life is nothing but colours and light. The day also happens to be the International Day of the Forests. Now, forests and nature add to colours of life like nothing else. ____________________________________________ Happenings |16.03.2019|
