Lets Play Holi! 03/15/2025 3:30-5:00PM

Holi is wonderful because it reflects exactly what is occurring in nature at that time – when all the ‎beautiful ‎flowers of different colors are blossoming. By celebrating this event we feel a greater oneness with ‎nature. The dominant idea behind this festival is that we should live more in harmony with nature instead of trying to destroy her and make her our slave.
– ‎Swami ‎Tejomayananda
