People’s Progressive PartyThe People’s Progressive Party (PPP) extends Phagwah greetings to all Hindus on the occasion of Phagwah which is celebrated on March 7.Phagwah is a festival which depicts the triumph of good over evil. This is a universal message which resonates with mankind throughout the world.Right here in our own country there are today dark forces hovering over us which are trying desperately to take our beloved country back to an evil past when the democratic rights and freedoms of the Guyanese were taken away from them.As the great Mahatma Ghandi reminded us, non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty. It is therefore incumbent on all Guyanese to rally around the concepts of peace, progress and prosperity and by so doing prevent evil forces from enveloping our land.Once again, a happy Phagwah to all Guyanese in particular our Hindu brothers and sisters.……People’s National Congress ReformThe People’s National Congress Reform extends Holi greetings to the Hindu Community of Guyana in particular, and Guyanese in general, on the occasion of the celebration of the Festival of Phagwah in Guyana.The significance of Phagwah is two-fold. Its secular significance lies in the advent of the season of spring, and its real and allegorical implications of fertility, rebirth, renewal and regeneration. The religious significance of Holi lies in the conquest of good over evil, manifested by the destruction by Prahalada of his demonic father, King Hiranyakashipu.As the celebrated Indian national, Kulapati Vani wrote many years ago, “… festivals are gatherings for refreshing the spirit and enjoying life,” we urge all Guyanese to use this occasion to refresh their spirit and enjoy life and to participate fully in this colourful festival and enjoy the rich elements of our religious and cultural diversity.We are conscious, also that our spirits are becoming increasingly sullen and sour, in the brooding darkness that now engulfs our land.We urge all Guyanese to see some spiritual inspiration in this Festival and to brace themselves against the many evils that are in our midst, and resolve, at this juncture, to take steps to end these calamities that now bedevil our country, and to restore equity, justice, peace and prosperity to our dear Motherland.Again Happy Holi to all Guyanese!……Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ UnionWe in the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) will personalize this brief message as we join Hindus and all Guyana in celebrating the Festival of Holi.The month of March holds deep, real and symbolic significance for us in GAWU as a trade union. Our former Honorary President and National Hero, the late Dr Cheddi Jagan, passed away on this day in 1997. His dear wife in struggle, Janet also passed in March as did labour movement stalwart, Joseph H. Pollydore.March also commemorates the passing of GAWU heroine Kowsilla known as “Alice” who sacrificed her life during a sugar-workers’ protest over scabs violating a legitimate strike. And of course Phagwah – the Holi Festival – is also located in March, sometimes.This Indian-orginated early Spring festival celebrates the beginnings of agricultural harvests; it symbolizes hope and it represents that bad, destructive forces – the wicked Holika – will be burnt or will burn themselves out leaving the ashes of good and productive endeavours.GAWU is also grounded in agriculture, its members, including thousands of Hindus, work in the sugar and rice industries and related areas of agriculture. As we enjoy the various cultural meals and the gaiety of worship, let us all welcome non-Hindus who not enjoy this festival of joy and love.GAWU suggests that we put politics, the crime and any rancour aside for this weekend as we give thanks and celebrate Holi in a peaceful manner.Happy Holi 2015!……Guyana Trades Union CongressThe Guyana Trades Union Congress extends Phagwah Greetings to all Guyanese, especially our Hindu brothers and sisters. As Guyanese celebrate this holy event we are reminded its significance lies in success over wrongdoing. As the Hindu community uses this season to celebrate such triumph, all Guyanese in joining in this event are urged to remember triumph comes through hard work.The Hindu festival of Phagwah has been made a national event where all Guyanese, regardless of race and religion, can celebrate the beginning of a period (spring) which characterises new growth, development and new beginnings. It is a period where life proliferates and evil is destroyed. The commemoration of the festival of Phagwah with water, bright colours and the burning of the holika is an event that all Guyanese have grown to look forward to.We must reflect even as we celebrate that making this a national event is a positive and progressive step in a multi-ethnic society such as ours.  For it develops in each of us not only a sense of ancestral, ethnic or religious identity, but a sense of tolerance and an ability to share with each other and appreciate diversity. That this is evident today when we see widespread participation of all groups is testimony to the earlier integration policies by the Government of the time in an effort to foster One People, One Nation, One Destiny as our motto signifies.All Guyanese should reflect from the lessons of Phagwah,NFL Jerseys Store, put aside differences and work towards progress and development.The key to success and a brighter future lies in our hands. Let us usher in a period of growth and abundance, of new beginnings, of prosperity, of development, of brightness, a mixing of colours and purification with water.  Let us use this period to battle all evil in our midst.Happy Phagwah to all Guyanese.……Indian Arrival CommitteeThe Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) extends  Phagwah  (Holi) greetings to all the citizens of Guyana, especially those who are guided by the philosophical teachings of Sanatan Dharma.Phagwah or Holi is a festival of Bharat (India) that has its roots in antiquity and  celebrates the coming of a new spring season, the drawing of a new year and the  triumph of good over evil. The exuberance of this festival reflects the collective hope of  people for progress, prosperity and the concomitant betterment of their lives.This festival of renewal most likely pre-dated the Sarasvati Valley Civilisation, the World’s first significant civilization which flourish between 5000 BCE and 2600 BCEAnd sir Krishna of Mahabharat frame.Even though the cultural landscape in Bharat has changed from time to time from the Introduction of the Negroids followed by the Proto- Australoids ,   Dravidians, Mongoloids, Caucasians, Persians, Greeks, Shakas, Kushanas, Huns, Arabs, Turks, Afghans, MughalsAnd Europens, the festival of Holi emerged, survived and flourished in Bharat, the world’s first melting pot.Holi was brought to British Guiana by Hindus who arrived here as indentured labourers to work on sugar plantations 177 years ago and was sustained by the majority of approximately 239,000 Bharatiyas who arrived on these shores between 1838 and 1917.Phagwah was transplanted from a large sub-continent, characterized by the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, to Guyana, a small South American land of dry and rainy seasons, and even though global warming is creating climatic havoc, the symbolism of Holimust not be lost.IAC, therefore, calls upon all the citizen of this multi-cultural land of Guyana to regard the great festival of Phagwah or Holi, which celebrates life and hope, regardless of demography or geography, always as a focus for national unity.Happy Holi from the IAC!
