Washed away in joyful colors

Maharaji - HoliHoli is a joyful time when, people in India say, "the past is washed away in the colors of the creator." In the morning, during an event with more than 50,000 people, many stood up and wished Maharaji a happy Holi, to which he replied, "Tumko Bhi Holi Mubaarak Ho" ("Happy Holi to You"). Later that day, participants jumped and yelled in joy, as wave after wave of colored water came down upon them while festive music was playing.
