hey patch posters back here on this
00:10
gorgeous day in Van Nuys California
00:13
today we're here celebrating the
00:14
festival of colors which is a Hindu
00:17
holiday the really cool thing about this
00:18
holiday is that it's a juxtaposition of
00:20
celebrating the passing of winter and
00:22
saying hey spring and it's also about
00:24
this really rich history of religious
00:26
stories today is all about celebrating
00:36
forgiveness and coming together as a
00:38
people as a human society and really
00:40
saying hey I forgive you I love you
00:43
let's be friends
00:44
the colors were gonna see thrown around
00:45
today are really vibrant to celebrate
00:47
spring
00:50
my fourth or fifth grade teacher she
00:52
invited me the first year and I helped
00:53
her set up it's just really fun and I've
00:55
been coming every year I literally
00:56
walked in all of my you know white and I
00:59
was like huh and awesome these guys went
01:01
boom and I'm like oh welcome
01:07
it's just such a happy place that I
01:09
think I'm excited to see everything the
01:12
jointness of being with everyone dancing
01:14
maybe that colors because of how
01:17
colorful it is it was really cool with
01:19
just throwing them all up at the same
01:20
time and we try to pop those colors when
01:22
you throw them I really are into Indian
01:27
culture and I've studied it in school
01:29
and on my own time so I liked it and I
01:31
thought this would be a good experience
01:32
for me I like to experience other
01:33
cultures and this is really cool to do
01:35
that fun freedom spirituality just the
01:38
time out to enjoy each other I have a
01:40
little fun in today's culture there's so
01:46
much stress whether it's social media
01:48
competition you know the violence we see
01:51
so today on stage I showed the adults
01:53
and the children a simple meditation
01:55
because we're so disconnected from our
01:57
bodies so taking that two seconds to
02:00
just ground yourself it's so fun I mean
02:02
we have such a fun time here today but
02:05
daily life can't always be fun but we
02:07
can remind ourselves that if you look
02:10
for the fun it's there and you don't
02:11
have to be stressed
02:16
I hope you enjoyed our experience today
02:18
at the festival of colors I feel
02:20
transformed I feel calm I feel
02:24
harmonious with myself and everyone else
02:25
around us I think I might want to stay
02:27
here a little bit longer instead of
02:30
going back to Los Angeles right away I
02:32
really hope that you'll come and visit
02:33
us at posh post com where every interest
02:36
is special so I'll see you next time
02:37

02:41

The ancient religious Hindu festival Holi is celebrated as an annual rite-of-passage welcoming the beauty of Spring while recognizing Winter's passing. Look into the colors to literally feel the beauty and kindness of spirit that is India's culture.
