Happy Dusherra and Durga Puja to all who are celebrating these auspicious days. Here are some valuable insights on these festivals.

“You cannot count on the physical proximity of someone you love, all the time. A seed that sprouts at the foot of its parent tree remains stunted until it is transplanted. Rama will be in my care, and he will be quite well. But ultimately, he will leave me too. Every human being, when the time comes, has to depart to seek his fulfilment in his own way.” ― Valmiki, The Ramayana

-------------------------------------------------

And THE GODDESS SPOKE:

I imagine into being the whole world, moving and unmoving, through the power of my Maya,

Yet that same Maya is not separate from me; this is the highest truth,

In me this whole world is moven in all directions, 0 Mountain.

I am the Lord and the Cosmic Soul; I am myself the Cosmic Body.

I am Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra, as well as Gauri, Brahmi, and Vaishnavi.

I am the sun and the stars and I am the Lord of the stars.

I am the various species of beasts and birds; I am also the outcaste and thief.

I am the evil doer and the wicked deed; I am the righteous person and the virtuous deed.

I am certainly female and male, and asexual as well.

And whatever thing, anywhere, you see or hear,

That entire thing I pervade, ever abiding inside it and outside.

There is nothing at all, moving or unmoving, that is devoid of me;

For if it were, it would be a nonentity, like the son of a barren woman.

Just as a single rope may appear variously as a serpent or wreath,

So also I may appear in the form of the Lord and the like; there is no doubt in this matter.

The world cannot appear without an underlying basis.

Accordingly, the world comes to be only through my own being and in no other way.

- The Devi Gita, Song of Goddess.

Glories to Shri Ram. Glories to Maa Durga. That is the Achintyam: the inconceivable and the unknowable reality.

Colourful Festivals in India

India is a country of vibrant culture and multi-cultural heritage. One such vivid culture of India is the colourful festivals that are celebrated in India every year. From the north to the south, from the east to the west, you can find festivals celebrated in each part of India.

Some of the most famous and colourful festivals celebrated in India are the Holi Festival, Diwali, Navratri, Durga Puja, the Pushkar Camel Fair, Ganesh Chaturthi, Pongal and many more.

Following is a glimpse of some of the most popular colourful festivals in India.

Holi

Holi is arguably one of the most popular festivals of India. It is a Hindu festival celebrated with a huge splash of colourful water and powder. It is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Phalgun. This festival commemorates the legend of Lord Krishna and signifies the victory of good over evil. In many parts of India, people set up bonfires the night before Holi. The bonfires represent the burning of the demoness Holikā, who attempted to burn Prahlād, a devotee of the god Vishnu. During Holi, people rain in the streets throwing coloured powder and water at each other. The festival is celebrated with lots of sweets and time spent with family and friends.

Diwali

Another festival celebrated in India is the widespread Diwali. Diwali is the five-day festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world. It usually falls between mid-October and mid-November. This festival of lights marks the end of the Hindu calendar year and is celebrated on the New Moon day of the Kartik month. During Diwali, homes and business places are brightly decorated with colourful lights, earthen lamps rangolis and candles. People exchange gifts and sweets, burn firecrackers and worship Goddess Lakshmi for wealth, health and prosperity.

Pushkar Camel Fair

The Pushkar Camel Fair is yet another colourful festival celebrated in India. This fair is held every year in Pushkar, a town located in the state of Rajasthan. The famous camel fair attracts traders from all over the country to buy and sell camels, cattle and livestock. People from all religions and backgrounds travel to the fair to take part in the vibrant festivities. The fair is known for its exotic animals, folk music, camel rides, folk dances, stalls of traditional crafts and delicacies of Rajasthani tribal cuisine. At the fair, visitors can purchase livestock such as camels, horses, and cows. The camels are decorated for the event. Vendors also sell a variety of items such as jewellery, fabrics and traditional handicrafts.

These are just some of the most popular and colourful festivals celebrated in India. Each festival has its own unique traditions, customs and rituals that bring colour to the lives of the citizens of India.
