Sri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, founder and head of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan, lays emphasis on the science and reason behind Indian
culture and its various festivals and practices. Spirituality is not
exclusive of science. Spirituality is the science of life marked by
logic, reason and experience. It was also marked by distinct union
with nature making man a part of the creation and not arrogant master
of all life forms. Indian culture since prehistoric times has carried
this science along, giving it a wide set of epics, events, practices,
festivals and art form.
The
event began by discussing several similar events across the world.
This was indicative of the common human nature that is to love one
another despite multitude of existence. Holi has its regional
variants across India. The unique nature of the festival is colouring
each other to mark love they share by forgiving and forgetting their
past.
Melodious
and meaningful heart soothing bhajans were sung which captured the
interest of the audience. Indian New Year too has regional variants
across India. In northern plains it is called as Vikram Samvat
celebrated on Chaitra Shukala Pratipada. In Southern region it is
celebrated as Yugadi, Gudi Padwa. It is marked by religious zeal and
social merriment, indicating a cyclic process of human existence in
which the old is washed off while the new is welcomed gaiety.
In
these modern times, there is a need to share and revive the science
of spirituality to emancipate us from devastating global issues. The
first step to the science of spirituality is Brahm Gyan, which is
bestowed by a Guru on His disciplines so that their journey on the
path of spirituality is guided and guarded against all pitfalls and
challenges. The audience were captivated by the event due to its
sticking feature of describing the modern day needs while narrating
the relevant cultural practices which has evolved since prehistoric
times.
Prahalad
exhibited undeterred faith in his goal to attain the Divine love of
Shri Hari. It led lord to materialize from a stone pillar. In all
religions Lord is considered to be Omniscient, Omnipotent and
Omnipresent. If anything fails Him from manifesting is the lack of
faith, love and surrender in us.
Celebrating
festival of Holi in India and across the world marks the possibility
of sharing of love for mankind across regional diversity and
differences. In addition, combining it with Indian New Year opens a
new opportunity to let go off what was sours in mutual coexistence
and welcome the new prospect of revived engagement.
