Holi Festival | PNCA Islamabad

 

The auditorium of the Pakistan countrywide Council of the arts (pnca) became a riot of colour as people from diverse faiths got here together to celebrate Holi on Wednesday, at an event organised by the Ministry of non secular Affairs and Interfaith concord.

Prathna, officially beginning the occasion, become provided through Pandit Channa Lal. The beautiful prayer, recited first in Sanskrit, expressed gratitude for the vast bounties of land, air and water, and requested for safety and plentitude, peace and well being for all people who had joined inside the birthday party.

He said: “Sri Krishan says inside the Gita, ‘each time there's injustice in this earth, that religion is forgotten, I occur then’. The land of Pakistan is very clearly natural and in its records whilst there has been tyranny there was a manifestation of goodness.He highlighted the significance of Holi in Hinduism, narrating the legend which entails the burning of Holika the sister of the evil king Hiranyakashipu, while she attempted to kill his son, Prahlad Bhagat.

From there comes the call Holi, the spring festival referred to as the ‘pageant of colours’.

“It indicates the victory of exact over evil, the appearance of spring, cease of iciness, and for many a festive day to satisfy with own family, buddies and network contributors.”

in accordance with Hindu tradition, Aarti become provided to start the pageant off in an auspicious way.

Pandit Ashok Fani stated: “may also the deity bless at the moment and those collected here.” He shared many extra information of the tale of Prahlad Bhagat, the righteous son of an evil king who believed he become a god.

He said: “there may be a tale of a first-rate hearth in which a little hen accrued water in its beak and flew to the hearth to put it out. people looked at it and wondered what precise the tiny little bit of water could do. We, the minorities are like that chook, our little efforts and contributions are with Pakistan.”

“All religions deliver a message of love, brotherhood and peace and all such occasions reaffirm that message and that is why it's so vital to have fun those.

that is a happy occasion and i am sorry to have to mention something bitter but we're given no different time.

The ministry has to remember the fact that the mandate of interfaith concord ministry is not to have fun a few spiritual activities but to defend the minorities and the ministry has failed in that.

“If we nonetheless had a minister for minorities, he or she might have raised those problems. We had non secular freedom in Pakistan however we don’t any more,” MNA Asiya Nasir said at the occasion.

MNA Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani said he changed into thrilled that Ms Nasir had raised those troubles.

Conceitedness, cruelty and evil usually come to an end and this is the message of the competition of Holi. every festival has a story behind it and those testimonies show us how to lead our lives in harmony.

Parliamentarians, media all have a role to play in spreading these messages of honesty, integrity and brotherhood.
