Let’s learn about the Subtle Significance of the Holi Festival in connection with the Yoga system
“The colors are all representing your chakras (subtle energy centres). These are all the chakras as you know.
Every chakra has a different color. So what happens? These colors just get distributed in the air, in the atmosphere.
During Holi time you are representing those colors which are completely permeating into the atmosphere.
When you color another person, you are just expressing that your chakras will be blessed.
Red color is of the Mooladhara (first chakra known as root chakra representing the innocence, the eternal child within).
All those colors that you use here are of different chakras.“
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

Let’s continue absorbing the following Quote of Wisdom on Holi Festival
“So just you are making the whole expression of your love that ‘Let it be you become completely filled with red color, 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 (during the Holi festival :-)). And [green] is the green color of the Guru tattwa ( ‘Guru principle’ in Sanskrit language). 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 chakras, the basis of your chakras, the colors of your chakras, the fragrance of those chakras to other Sahaja Yogis. You just permeate..”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun
Everyone also learned about the energy centers and how to support each other’s energy!
We must clarify it: every participant meditated and experienced the awakening of the energy within, also learned about sahaja yoga fundemantals, including participating in chakra energy workshops to learn about how to support each other’s energy and how to learn about one’s own possible energy imbalances. Children and adults, everyone enjoyed learning and experimenting!



Everyone was amazed that Yes! The energy can be felt and it does make sense, it tells the truth!
The SYMN volunteers who organized the event were impressed how eager were the children to understand the new knowledge presented to them and to try it; they would ask their yoga teacher good questions, also communicate openly and sincerely.



There were several Meditate & Learn session during this event to accomodate various groups

The collective creative workshop facilitated after the meditation was another highlight of the event
Shivangna was helping the youngest participants in preparing their Holi threads of friendship for the Cool Kids of Burlington.

Closing Notes of Wisdom and Sahaj Knowledge about the Holi Festival’s spiritual significance:
“So this is one thing that you make everyone understand that we are all collectively bound, and then you will not feel hurting anyone, or troubling anyone, or saying anything bad… you cannot commit mistakes, and then you do not feel guilty. But if you are not collectively conscious, then you will do it: you will hurt others. You will torture others. You will take advantage of them…
This is the way in Sahaja Yoga: we establish that Holy Relationship.
And moreover, one has to see that this holy relationship gives you joy, happiness, and pleasure.
It is not just a holy relationship of some force or some sort of a thing. The relationship is in the heart, and is felt very much and when you feel it, that relationship, that sweetness of purity, of holiness, flows.
So one has to understand this relationship is to be kept very clean, beautiful, and absolutely open – there should be no formality in it…” says Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

Don’t be shy, drop a comment; let us know your impressions about the article, if you enjoyed something more, etc 🙂
I was melting with all the coloured powders being applied and thrown at each other gently. I think this festival should scale up as I think so many more people would enjoy all of us becoming one with the joy of this celebration. The video really captured the wondrous feeling of the feeling festival. Can’t wait for the next Holi festival!!! Very unique yet makes so much sense in terms of integration.
I am laughing seeing the pictures—such joy and so much fun!!
What a fantastic, joyful Festival!! Love the painting, the dancing and all the smiles!! So mcuh fun!!!
there can be so much colour in this “grey” world
