 | HOLI - A Spiritual Celebration !
· Holi is celebrated from the full moon day (pournima) of the Hindu lunar month of Phalgun until the fifth day (panchami). · During this festival, different waves of radiance traverse the universe, thereby creating various colours that nourish and complement the function of respective elements in the atmosphere. · On this day the Naivedya of sweets should be offered; then a prayer should be made thus - "May we get energy to strive for the protection of the Nation and Dharma."

 | · One should not light the Holi fire with garbage, since it pollutes the environment. · Dry wood should be used instead of cutting good trees to light the Holi fires. · The basic objective of celebrating Holi is to forget our differences and unite Hindus. · We can save wood by having just one sacrificial fire of Holi for the entire village or locality. · When Holi is celebrated, as per traditional practices, it is essential that the sanctity of the religious practice be maintained. · Celebrate the festival of Rangapanchami in a traditional way using natural colours.

 | · Dhoolivandan is the first day (pratipada) in the dark fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Phalgun. · On this day either the ashes of Holi or dust is worshipped. · The Dhoolivandan is the worship of the destroyer form of the Deities. · Rangapanchami is celebrated on the fifth day (panchami) in the dark fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Phalgun. · Its purpose is to activate the five elements of radiant manifest colours and to touch and feel the Deities who are attracted to the respective colours. · Rang Panchami is the worship of the saviour form of the Deities. |  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 | Let us stop immoral practices during this Holy & Rangapanchami and Protect Dharma !
· Do not steal wood for the Holi fire and stop those who extort money from people on the roads. · Do not apply colours forcibly. Stop people from doing so and give them the reasons. · Stop beggars from wearing masks of Deities. · Stop people from using excessive colours and hurling water balloons. · Do not use harmful chemical colours. · Do not pollute lakes and wells with colours
The HJS appeals to all to prevent the occurrence of such malpractices and celebrate the festival of Holy and Rangapanchami in a traditional way. |  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
