Let the colours flow

Relax

As the exciting day starts, beam to yourself in the mirror as you coat yourself with palms, full of oil to prevent the chipku Holi colours actually sticking to you, as the liberal spreading of oil over your body and hair will help you get rid off them easily and help your skin retain its healthiness.

Krishna bhajan by Jagjit Singh, Tum dhoondho mujhe Gopal

Relax

This song says: I am your cow, O the keeper of cows Gopal. I am lost. Please find me and take me back to safety. This body made of five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) is driven by five errors of desire, anger, attachment, greed, etc. Driven by these errors, I am restless and cannot find peace. Please find me and take me in your care, O Gopal.
