From Gulal to Grace: Bringing Holi into Your Spiritual Corner
Holi is the festival of colours. The festival displays bright powders while happy crowds enjoy music and dancing. The celebration of Holi offers more than entertainment for its participants. Celebration retains a powerful spiritual element that holds deep essence. Holi festival represents love, new beginnings and the victory of light over darkness. People celebrate Holi because it represents playful love between brass radha krishna murti in sacred town of Vrindavan.
The spirit of Holi exists beyond large festive events. You can create a beautiful environment throughout your home, particularly in your worship area. The festival honours the tale of Prahlada and Holika which shows that faith and goodness will always win. Holi celebration begins with Holika Dahan on its eve when a bonfire is lit to represent the elimination of fear & negative attributes and personal pride.
Colour Your Space with Intention
Holi's main colours show strong internal human attributes. Different colours indicate different intentions in spirituality as mentioned below. Instead of tossing powders, consider placing small bowls of natural and eco-friendly gulal on your altar. As you set each colour down assign it a choice. Your space will transform into a living mandala which displays the virtues you want to develop.
Red for energy and vitality
Yellow for wisdom & positivity
Green for growth and harmony
Blue for calm and introspection
Welcome Joy and Colour into Your Space
We don’t need any big celebration to show love and affection for holi, even a small celebration with pure hearts and intention can make any festival very special.
Place a small Brass Urli bowl filled with natural colours & flower petals or colored paper on your altar. Each colour can represent something we wish to invite like peace and happiness.
Light a candle in the evening and focus on something you want to release such as fear, habit or worry. Imagine the flame carrying it away.
Play soft music or devotional songs to make your space feel lively & happening.
