एकं सद् विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति-
Ekam Sad Vipra Bahudha Vadanti.
The Truth is One; the wise call it by various Names.
Hindus celebrate many festivals throughout the year, and Holi is regarded as one of the four major festivals alongside Deepawali, Raksha Bandhan, and Dussehra. Among them, Holi stands out as one of the most vibrant and socially unifying celebrations within the Hindu community across the world.
More than just a festival of colours, Holi symbolises the victory of righteousness over ego, devotion over arrogance, and harmony over division.
Known as the Festival of Colours, Holi is a celebration of:
✨ Positivity ✨Unity ✨Renewal ✨The triumph of good over evil
In 2026, Holika Dahan will be observed on 2nd March, followed by the celebration of colours on 4th March.
Holika Dahan symbolises the burning away of:
❌ Ego ❌Negativity ❌Injustice
🔥 Historical & Scriptural Significance
The origins of Holi are deeply rooted in the story of Prahlad and Holika, as described in the Puranas. Prahlad, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, endured severe trials from his father, the tyrant king Hiranyakashipu, who opposed his devotion.
Holika, the king’s sister, attempted to burn Prahlad in a fire using a boon that rendered her immune to flames. However, due to Prahlad’s unwavering faith and divine grace, he emerged unharmed while Holika perished.
This event is commemorated through Holika Dahan — a ceremonial bonfire lit on the eve of Holi — symbolising the destruction of arrogance, injustice, and negativity from within ourselves and society.
Cultural traditions and folk literature also recount that Lord Krishna, Lord Rama, and Lord Shiva celebrated Holi with their companions and communities, symbolising divine participation in joy, unity, and social harmony.
This reminds us that:
✅ Faith overcomes fear, ✅Good ultimately prevails over evil
🎨 Social & Cultural Relevance
On the following day, communities come together to celebrate with colours (gulal), music, and festive foods. Traditionally, the colours of Holi represent:
🌸 New beginnings, 🤝Renewal of relationships
🌈Celebration of diversity, Arrival of spring
Holi fosters unity by encouraging individuals from all backgrounds to forgive past grievances, reconnect with one another, and participate in collective joy.
🌱 Contemporary Reflection
For Hindu families living abroad — including here in Australia — Holi has evolved beyond a religious observance into a cultural bridge. It offers younger generations an opportunity to connect with their heritage while sharing values of inclusivity, resilience, and harmony with the wider community.
In essence, Holi reminds us that just as colours blend to create beauty, a harmonious society is formed when differences are celebrated, not divided.
🌸 Happy Holi 2026! 🌸

ॐ प्रणवो धनु: शरो ह्यात्मा ब्रह्म तल्लक्ष्यमुच्यते । अप्रमत्तेन वेद्धव्यं शरवत्तन्मयो भवेत् ।। #मुण्डकोपनिषद
PRANAVO DHANU SHARO HYAATMAA BRAHM TALLAKSHYA MUCHYATE.
APRAMATTEN VEDADHAVYAM SHARAVATTANMAYO BHAVET. Mundakopanisad
The Sacred Word (AUM) is likened to a bow, with the soul as the arrow and Brahman as the target. When one focuses unwaveringly, allowing their attention to remain steady, they will pierce the target. Just as an arrow becomes one with the target once it has struck, the soul merges with Brahman, achieving unity.
