Messages for Holi Mahotsav 2010 Her Exellency Sujatha Singh, High Commissioner of India in Australia I am glad to know that the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, in keeping with its tradition of undertaking activities aimed at strengthening the Indian community’s traditional linkages with the mother country and promoting multiculturalism in Australia, is bringing out a special ‘Holi Mahotsav’ souvenir issue of its monthly magazine ‘Bhavan Australia’. Holi, the joyous festival of colours of India heralds Spring. It is celebrated through the width and breadth of India, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. It is in this spirit that Indians in Australia as well as fellow Australians gather together on this day, to celebrate this festival in a spirit of fellow feeling and friendship. I wish the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan continued success in its endeavours and convey my greetings to the readers of Bhavan Australia. Hon Amit Dasgupta, Consul General of India in Sydney I take pleasure in extending felicitations to the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (Australia) for, once again, organizing the Holi Festival in Sydney. It has come to be recognized, in Sydney, as a major programme, which brings together persons of different backgrounds in the universal spirit of brotherhood and friendship. The initiative of the Bhawan in regularly organizing this programme is laudable and the manner in which the entire resident Indian community has joined hands in making it a success reflects the strong harmony that exists within the community. I join all of you in extending peace, happiness and good will on this auspicious occasion to everyone. Happy Holi! Honourable Kevin Rudd MP, Prime Minister of Australia The Holi Mahotsav festival of friendship and harmony, now in its eighth Australian year, has become a mainstream Sydney festival celebrating Indian culture through dance and music performances, cultural workshops, meditation sessions, food and merchandise stalls. Around 250,000 people of Indian heritage live in Australia, and we value their contribution to our society, our economy and our nation. These people-to-people ties are an integral part of the strong and growing relationship between Australia and India. Congratulations to the organisers for their efforts in continuing this great event. I wish readers of of Bhavan Australia magazine and all those attending Holi Mahotsav an enjoyable and memorable day. Swami Sridharnanda, President Vedata Centre Sydney We are glad to learn that the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is organizing the Holi Mahotsav on the 14th March 2010. Holi is a celebration of the different colours denoting variety but yet reminding us of the unity behind it. Mythologically, it is the burning of evil in the all consuming fire like Holika (the demoness) did and protecting the purity of the virtuous (like Prahlada). Today’s world needs the message of Unity in Diversity and the victory of Virtue and other spiritual values very much. May the inspiration of this great festival help us to achieve peace is our humble prayer
