Holi - The Festival Of Colours
The Adiveda Weekly #90
Hari Aum Dear Sadhakas,
In our current blog, we share the historical as well as the esoteric side of the colourful festival of Holi and provide the significance of the festival beyond the customary branding of Holi.
We invite our readers to read the lovely blog and share it with your loved ones.

The Full Blog Of This Week:
The Hindu Way of Life
The ultimate goal of human life is to get rid of the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth and reach the ultimate destination, i.e. reunite with God. This can be achieved through primarily three paths - Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga, as described in the Bhagavad Gita.
Reflection of the Week
The river has an unwavering purpose which is to reach the ocean. Similarly one should have an unwavering commitment to reach our goal of Self realisation.
Question Of The Week
Q - What is Detachment?
A - Detachment refers to a state of emotional neutrality or non-attachment. This doesn't mean becoming emotionless, but rather learning to let go of unhealthy attachments and desires.
Do send us your questions through comments and we will try to cover them in our newsletter in coming weeks or through live interaction of Vanamali Mataji on Instagram.
Ayurvedic Health Tip Of The Week
Eye exercises are a great addition to your morning routine and can help in mitigating the development of presbyopia (or longsightedness that develops due to aging). Even if you have developed presbyopia, begin eye exercises, as these can help to reduce your symptoms, which are partly due to the eye muscles being unable to compensate to nearby objects. Begin first by warming up the eyes, doing slow clockwise and anticlockwise rotations 5x each. Then look at an object in the distance for about 30 seconds, before looking at an object (like a finger or pen) held up near your face about 6 inches away. Repeat this 3 times each. Then practice looking at a distant object for about 10-20 seconds, followed by gazing at the tip of your nose for about 10-20 seconds. Repeat this 3x each as well.
