Holi

The three-day festival will wind up with a grand celebration at the February 28 Sunday Satsang. Holi is fun and joy; Holi is colours and hues; Holi is song and dance. At the same time, Holi is also a reminder of the stories that inspired the celebration, namely those of the destruction of demonesses (Holika and Putana).

Ram Navmi

Ram Navmi is the biggest event on the Dhārmic calendar after MahāShivrātri. Rām Bhagwān is often called "Maryādā Puroshottam" because his life was exemplary in discipline, morality and good virtue. Recently, through the life of Mahātmā Gandhi, the world was reminded of the power of such a virtuous life. Gandhiji's love for and deep understanding of Rām Bhagwān led him to state that Rām Rājya - the peaceful society that resulted as a direct result of Rām Bhagwān's principled rule - should be the way a society is governed.

As always, the Mandir has planned grand celebrations to commemorate Rām Bhagwān's birthday.
