Herbal Hi- Tech Holi ? , International Art Of Living Ashram , Bangalore

I was privileged to encounter and to be a part of wonderful Herbal HiTech Holi celebration on 20th March 2008 at International Art of Living Ashram situated on Kanakapura Road , Bangalore.

It was called a High Tech Holi celebration was different from the celebrations I had seen, played hitherto. There were sprinklers on a high-roof building which could spray the Holi colors on the masses who were part of the celebration upon a single button press. The Holi Celebration was herbal as opposed to jazzy, harmful artificial dyed colors like fluorescent Red, Green et al used in the cities. Sri Sri happend to describe the Holi Colors as an amalgam of Sandal Wood paste, Turmeric, Rose Water and Flowers.

Thanks to Ashvin's mom and dad in making my long awaited visit to Lotus shaped International Art of Living very well away from the hussle of Chaos in the City. I was indeed happy to get the aerial view of lakes , meadows and hills around , a perfect change to soothe my staring , strained eyes off the monitor .
