Sunrays: Celebrate, Holi Hai!

Holi, the festival falls on March 8 this year. He would sing, dance and play Holi with devotees and return, dyed in yellow, green, pink… much to the dismay of my grandmother! Holi also heralds in the spring season and signifies new beginnings and transformations along with prayers for a bountiful harvest. It was because of Prahlada’s devotion and love for Lord Vishnu that He assumed the intimidating form of Narasimha and annihilated Hiranyakashayapu. Enjoy the fun and dance; gorge on the goodies to your heart’s content but do find a moment to pause and ponder upon the real significance of Holi.
