Holi Celebration in Moses Lake, WA

The Sant Nirankari Mission, Seattle celebrated holi on March 15th, 2009 at Moses Lake, WA. The sangat was attended by nearly 50+ saints including people from local community and was presided by Rev. Dev Raj Vij Ji from Tracy, California.

The saints prayed for being colored with color of devotion to this Lord Master and shared their thoughts on the importance of Satguru and Sangat in their lives. The kids too recited various poems in praise of the formless Nirankar. The local community showed good participation with sharing of their thoughts and experiences on importance of such spiritual congregation and importance of spreading love in family and around.




Rev. Dev Raj Ji stressed that the human life is small and precious and we should not waste it. We should identify ourselves, establish a union with our creator, find love within ourselves and spread it around. He explained the journey of soul and called human body its temporary residence. He elaborated that though made up of same raw material, we need bridges and not walls as bridges connect people while walls divide them. He said that the contribution made by this mission is that it has made people humane at heart who can feel the pain of fellows. Saints organized holi celebration with colors after the sangat. All present played with colors and marked the removal of all barriers of caste, color, race, age, etc. in coming together as one family and following one religion of humanity.




The entire celebration was covered by a local newspaper 'Columbia Basin Herald'. Report can be found here.
