Holi Function at Dwarkadhish Temple

It was just recently that I happened to visit this Dwarkadhish temple with my family. It was my most memorable moment, after coming to the United States of America. The temple has a huge space, which can accommodate thousands of people

It is surprising to know that people celebrate Holi out here with the same Indian touch and with the same passion they celebrate back home .We played holi for sometimes with dry colors. Mainly gulal.was used as the main color Water was not used at all. In the evening there was this Bonfire litted. We all did the pradikshana around the bonfire and seeked Gods blessings People say that when the bonfire is lit all the devils die in it and there is peace everywhere around the place.

After the bonfire we had dinner at the temple. Puri, Chole ,Rice and potato subji was served . It was also surprising to know that the entire function was sponsored by the members of the temple The place was crowded so much that there was no space left to move around.

It was indeed a pleasant experience all together :)

DONT QUIT--One of my fav

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Everything happens for a reason !!!

Sometimes things may fall apart in order for other things to fall in place.

When things go wrong and when days become hard remember there’s only one thing which keep us going that is our faith in God that at last everything would be fine, which is always true.

After every bad time, good time arrives and it makes us feel much more happier..

Theres a saying which goes like this “ Whether through trouble or through pain, the lessons never go in vain”. So whatever bad time one goes through makes the person much more stronger, responsible and a matured.

Well I guess too much of philosophy now …have to get back to work :)
