Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Today (March 15, 2006) India celebrates the festival of Holi. It is popularly known as the festival of colours as the celebration includes dousing your friends and relatives with colours of various hues. But it also is a festival which resembles the panchakarma treatment of ayurveda. I know I am streching this by a large extent, but just as panchakarma purges out the doshas of the body which if they remain accumulated will lead to diseases, the main celebration of holi consists of burning a bonfire. This bonfire is the symbol of all evil and pent up doshas of your mind and on this day you remove all the fear, anger and other mental doshas you may have towards other and burn it in the form of a bonfire. Ofcourse the offside of this is that many people take this as a liberty to abuse others.
