do you know do you know do you know how HO HO HO HOLI HOLI HOLI the Indian festival of colours started


 do you know  HO HO HO HOLI HOLI HOLI 



do you know ho ho ho holi holi holi



a 5-year-old boy Krishna

questions his mother on why he is so dark and his 7-year-old friend Radha so fair

Please please please tell me ma, he said 


Ma gave him some powdered colour and said

"throw this colour on her and she will become whatever colour you want"

be aware, she will do the same to you"

And you will both then be the same colours


Krishna crept up to Radha from behind and coloured her face....Radha turns beaming


covered in  innocent red pure orange wholesome yellow impeccable green honest light innocent indigo blue pure navy blue wholesome pink impeccable gold honest white innocent black 



do you know do you know do you know how HO HO HO HOLI HOLI HOLI the Indian festival of colours started


 do you know  HO HO HO HOLI HOLI HOLI 



do you know ho ho ho holi holi holi



Radha also throws powdered colour on Krishna, and Krishna laughs, runs, skips, sings


covered in  innocent red pure orange wholesome yellow impeccable green honest light innocent indigo blue pure navy blue wholesome pink impeccable gold honest white innocent black 

covered in  innocent red pure orange wholesome yellow impeccable green honest light innocent indigo blue pure navy blue wholesome pink impeccable gold honest white innocent black

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,


powdered in red joy orange pleasure yellow bliss, green ecstasy light blue elation indigo blue rapture navy blue euphoria pink heaven, purple utopia, gold heaven white paradise black Eden

Today in Barsana the celebration lasts 40 days


First with the thunderous, magical, massive, mega mountain  welcome of sweets in the air, sky, universe, world, galaxy 


They laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,


Powdered  in red joy orange pleasure yellow bliss, green ecstasy light blue elation indigo blue rapture navy blue euphoria pink heaven, purple utopia, gold heaven white paradise black Eden


happy ho ho ho holi



5000 years ago whenever Krishna sneaked to Radhas village Barsana with his friends, laughing running singing skipping dancing clapping giggling tickling jumping wallowing teasing swimming 


Radha and her friends would be waiting with sticks


and chase the boys away



Reenacted today when at every blow


They laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,



he even sneaked in dressed as a girly fruit seller, a woman jewellery seller, wearing many colours


This cheeky episode also repeats each year with village boys dressed si si simi similarly


They laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,


Happy ho ho ho holi




The finale means flower petals powder colour......with the thunderous, magical, massive, mega mountain  fo multicoloured flower petals and powders in the air, sky, universe, world, galaxy 



Happy ho ho ho holi


Divinely we laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,


we laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,


We laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,

Radha and Krishna taught me to  laugh, run, sing, skip, dance, clap, giggle, tickle, jump, wallow, tease, swim,


happy ho ho ho ho holi
