2026 Celebrating Hol: “So, today, on the Holī Day if you only say the mantra of Holikā Dahan, then with the mantra of Holikāmardinī …”

"To know God Itself is such a great blessing, because He is the God Almighty. The God who has all the Powers and all the loved ones. He is our Father, He is waiting for us to enter into His Kingdom, to enjoy that peace and beauty of His Being, because He has created us and He wants this creation to come up to that.
Today, the great day of Holikā Dahana, where the symbolism of this occasion is that the satanic forces were burnt by the innocence of Prahlāda. And that is what we have to remember, that when the Sahaja Yogis take to innocence and complete dependence on to their vibratory awareness, which is the indication of God's Manifestation through them, they are completely protected, and even a satanic person like Holikā could not burn him [them].
And this is the day today, we have to recognize that, as Sahaja Yogis, we stand no dangers in life. We are fearless people, but we are humble people, loving people, and anxious to save as many as possible. To eman... to raise the whole humanity into another awareness, in the process of your evolution you have to achieve ghaṭ, for which you have to work hard. "

"Śhrī Rāma incarnated before Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa. He was Maryādā Puruṣhottama and, as such, lived a very austere life. As a result of the austerities practiced by the King Himself, the whole society turned sober and serious. The element of joy and gaiety was completely missing. In Dwāpara Yuga, when Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa incarnated, He wanted to put an end to this extreme seriousness prevalent in the society.
He thought of having a festival in which everyone could laugh heartily and have fun and joy. So the festival of color Holī, was started with this purpose."

"Then the colors are, the colors are all representing your chakras. These are all the chakras as you know. Every chakra has got different color. So what happens? These colors just get distributed in the air, in the atmosphere. During Holī time you [unclear know you] are representing those colors which are completely permeating into the atmosphere. So this is another thing when you play colors. When you color another person, you are just expressing that these, your chakras will be blessed.
Red color is of the Mūlādhāra. All those colors that you use here are of different chakras. So just you are making the whole expression of your love that let it be you become completely filled with red color, means innocence, means innocence. Because as a child in the womb of the mother just sees the red color of the mother, color of the blood.
So like that you see different colors are spread on the face.
And abīra is the green color of the Guru Tattwa.
Like that all these colors have got significance that they are the colors of your chakras which you are spreading all over to your friends, to your other brothers and sisters who are Sahaja Yogis. So it has that symbolic expression that you are spreading your -- actually the essence of your chakra, the basis of your chakra, the colors of your chakra, the fragrance of those chakras to other Sahaja Yogis. You just uh permeate, permeating.
I don't know in Hindi language if there's a better word, like in Marathi udār, udār [bountiful, magnanimous]. Udār means just ..." ......
... red color, is the sign of innocence.
So Kabīra says that, ``You put me into such a color. Oh, the one who is going to color me is the One." Raṅgarāj is the one who colors things. So He says, ``Oh Raṅgarāj, make me so that the whole thing becomes red -- innocence, fills me up with complete innocence." And innocence is the one He has asked for to be filled in.
And same is with Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa that He played with all these different colors to show that there are different chakras within us apart from the red and the others that are there. All of them play a part to create a beautiful joyful personality."

"Then He started playing with colors and so on. All the colors also, if you see, are the colors of the Devī, Holī is played with the colors of the seven chakras. Put all the colors of the chakras onto you! Play with joy, enthusiasm and happiness."

Abīr Gulāl Udhalitha Rang
Natha Ghari Nāche Mājha Sakha Pandurang
Amidst the fragrant colourful powder strewed in the air,
Panduranga who is my master as well as my friend is dancing in his abode.

"So, with Holī after dahan [scorching], like I said yesterday, let us decide today, that now Holī will be like Diwālī. The joy of it should be overwhelming. Why the joy of Holī? Although we burn just one Holikā but afterwards, the joy flows in the Collective Consciousness, whether he is a sweeper or a garbage collector or even any other person working in the house. Like in My family, in Lucknow, from where My family belongs, these people are landlords. So the sweeper does not dare to enter inside the house. People don't like them coming even their threshold, to that extent. They reprimanded them.
But on the Day of Holī, any person, whether he is a master or a servant, anybody, they all play Holī together. Even if you tear the clothes of the master then also no one will reprimand you on the Day of Holī. This is the way a social and collective celebration of happiness started in our country."

"I think we have had a nice time in this Holī, and we should always have such a nice time. Always with Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa's blessings you all should enjoy your Holī. But the greatest Holī is within yourself when you fill yourself with all kinds of colors. Your nature should be such that everybody should enjoy that color. That color that is within you, color of beauty -- not artificial, just showing of, just giving something without any love."

[Inner awareness and a good attention is very important for burning your inner negativity.
Only when it is burnt can you ascend on Nirmala Tattwa.
Then you celebrate the real Holī, enjoy and play with color.
Sahaja Yoga's Holī should be the Holī of Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa.]

Tere ranga me aise range ham, dujā ranga nā lāge,
We are colored so deep and complete in Your color
Tum bin koi nazar nā āe, in naino ke āge
No other color will reflect through us, We are unable to see anything but You
Jala ko sthala ko sāre jagata,Rangā ranga banāyā
Through these eyes, You have made not only water and land But the whole universe very colorful
Ranga de jhini Hari, Mā ke ranga me kāyā, (kāyā)
God (Hari) please color my body (kaya) in the color of my Holy Mother
Ranga nā de ise, chanchala mana ko, Apne ranga me māyā
Let my body not be adorned, By the hideous color of materialism
Ranga de jhini Hari, Mā ke ranga me kāyā, (kāyā)
God (Hari) please color my body in the color of my Holy Mother
