JSK to all Vaishnavas,

We received very good article on “Play Holi with Shrinathji“ and how people celebrate the Holi in Nathdwara from Riddhi Agrawal. She is from Rajasthan and currently living in Visakhapatnam and doing CA. She is devotee of Lord Krishna.

Beautiful Holi celebration description in her words:

||  Shri Krishna Sharnam Mamah: ||

In Nathdwara, shreenath ji plays holi the entire month . This is the month of Falgun.

It is in the Rajbhog Darshan That Shri Ji Plays Holi.

Abir and Gulaal are the colors played with Shreenath ji and then as a Prasad with the devotees. Shreeji baba is in full white Paushaak in the entire month of Holi and the Mukhiyajis are the lucky ones who get to touch Shreeji Baba. He with his “Surya” finger first touches Shreeji Baba with “kesuda” water , slowly & gently, and his Bhao can be seen & felt- first on the forehead- Anja (forehead) chakra – then Anahita (heart) chakra- then all over on the “ pichvai” also.  All though the tenderness with which he touches Shreeji baba is visible, trying best not to cause any disturbance to the high powers there.

Then colors are sprinkled on the “Vaishnavs & Bhakts” as “Prasad” from Shreeji Baba. The mukhiyajis carry divine vibrations from the touch of Shreeji Baba and sprinkles them on all devotees who are lucky to be present there for the darshans.

It is a very transcenadental moment when the colors cover the devotees with the touch of Shreeji.

This entire darshan takes nearly 30 minutes. One should not run away thinking about the clothes, in fact this drenching with colors in Shreeji`s court, within His purest vibrations is one of the easiest way to enter higher purity. Shreeji himself plays colours for the entire month, so that all the bhakts can avail of His purifying Blessings. We do not shake off the sacred colours, it is collected in a packet to be distributed as Shreeji`s Blessings to Family.

After this is the Aarti.

Holi Khelanga Aapa Girdhar Gopal Se !!

Jai Shri Krishna
