FESTIVAL OF HOLI IN INDIA MARCH 6, 2015
Holi is a festival of colors celebrated all over India, in which people douse each other with colors, wet and dry. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and also a spirit of camaraderie and love in which people forget all differences and embrace each other with joy and love.
My Father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) wrote this Ghazal ( Urdu Verses in song) in March 1989.
It was sung by me at that time in 1989 and later again as of the date of this video.
The words of the poem go beyond that of any human poet's imagination . It is a poem which describes the Divine Poet, God, who has thrown every color conceivable under the Sun upon the earth and the Universe.
"My Cup has overflowed,
And the world is now full of color
It is Holi now, yes, it is Holi everywhere"
And the world is now full of color
It is Holi now, yes, it is Holi everywhere"
The Grand Artist watching the multifarious colors He has doused the Earth and the Skies with, from the smallest of its creatures, from vegetation and flowers to the mountains and oceans.. and most of all watching the Color of Love He has placed in the hearts of all the people of the world, which is another name for God, Himself.
