With the pious chants and sounds of counch
Celebrations start everywhere
Gudi padwa, Cheti chand, Ugadi
And Chaitra Navratri
Marking the onset of Spring, the most vibrant of all seasons
And the beginning of Hindu New Year
Rejoicing the fresh harvest
Pooja-Archana, Rangolis and HawansÂ
Devotees thronging the temples
Appreciating the might of the Almighty
The NavaDurga
Acknowledging the power of nature
The power of mother, the creator
Moreover the Victory of good over evil
Bowing to the supreme force
The ParaBramha
Such is the spirit of
Our Unity in Diversity that
Inspite of being so different
Inspite of belonging to different cultures and religions
We all wish each other
We all celebrate together
Enjoy together, Rejoice together
What a better example can there beÂ
Than our varied festivalsÂ
All falling during the same muhurats
