On the upcoming auspicious Hindu festival of Holi-Dhuleti I, on behalf of my family and friends from Canada extend our warmest wishes to all the readers of Asian Voice, Gujarat Samachar and it's staff. This festival is celebrated for the arrival of spring and also to burn away our ego, arrogance and any grudges and sprinkle colours of happiness and goodwill by forgiveness.
The celebration of this festival is not only limited to one day event but also ongoing in our day to day lives with our family, friends and relatives. So many scandals of deceits, cheating, extortion and abuse of children and women are happening by so-called Sadhvis, Bapus, Gurus and Babas in our Hindu religious world.
These so-called Sadhvis, Bapus, Gurus by their sweet talk and good oratory skill brain wash people into believing them and donate their hard earned monies to them thinking that by waving a magic wand they will solve their problems, difficulties and hardships and fall in their traps.
Instead of facing difficulties with courage people look for short cuts so they are equally to be blame.
On this holy festival we pray that Almighty Lord bestows blessings on everyone for a healthy, happy and peaceful life ahead and grant them clear thinking and understanding to stay away from these con artists.
