GUYANESE and more particular our Hindu brothers and sisters will be celebrating the Festival of Holi or Phagwah on Sunday March 28, 2021.
Phagwah is a time of profound joy and extreme goodwill to all mankind, a time when we sink and shelve our differences and animosities and drench each other’s face with coloured powder, beat our drums and clap our cymbals and sing, dance and be merry.
Further Phagwah is a time when we forgive and forget and embrace our fellow men in bonds of unity, warmth of friendships, love and affection, equality and brotherhood of man. In our multi-religious and multi-ethnic society, Phagwah over the years have developed a feeling of oneness among our Guyanese people.
It has also afforded our Guyanese people the opportunity of building bridges of friendship, fostering national unity, instilling and rekindling moral and ethical values and strengthening family ties, which are vital and important ingredients for a strong and vibrant nation.
As we celebrate one of Guyana’s most important and joyous festivals, we must use this day to enrich our individual lives, strengthen our society, promote happiness and inspire the nation.
Happy Phagwah to all Guyana.
Yours sincere,
Guyana Hemp Industries Company Inc
