Holi Festival was traditionally
celebrated with great fanfare at the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir,
Neasden, on Saturday 6 March. The shrines in the Mandir were
adorned in beautiful colourful attire and thousands streamed
in to offer their devotion from dawn.
At 6pm, the sadhus with the sacred
image of Thakorji and Shri Vishnu chanted Vedic mantras as the
Holi was lit. Thereafter, a grand sabha was held in the Haveli
explaining the greatness of the Holi festival. Throughout the
day, devotees came to offer their prayers and some even commented,
that they felt they had been transported back to India; others
said that they were very grateful that their children were able
to participate in these traditional festivals at the Mandir.
