@halfthrottle This isn't any spam. It's a serious opportunity. Celebrating Indian festivals in Utah, is something that blows the mind and deserves to be shared with a global audience.
Do consider entering the competition. I see massive potential and upsides for your video.
@halfthrottle Superb video. Mad shots. Great locations. Abundance of Colours and People. I like the way you've put the video together.
You should consider submitting this video to a global video competition called the 'India Is' Global Video Challenge. Your video fits perfectly under one of the 3 themes, India is Colourful. Check the website out - indiais.org. Enter and you can win a trip to India + some crazy cool cameras. It's legit. Share with the world what your perception of 'India Is'..
@Shenzo33 Thanks for letting me know about it. I entered this video. At least I think I did, their website seems a little buggy at times. I submitted the video, but it still says I haven't submitted anything. Maybe it takes a moment to update.
@halfthrottle Sorry about that. It's a random thing. Are you still finding it tough to submit your video? If so, simply send an email to contact@indiais.org with your details and link, and they will happily upload the video from the backend (if it boils down to this).
Thanks for responding. Really did enjoy your video.. Good vibes and feelings.
@Shenzo33 I tried 3 times to submit. Not gonna do the email thing. You are working pretty hard to promote this festival. You should make sure all the people your (not) spamming with the same message can at least submit their video easily.
@glosive It's the Indian Festival of Colors, Celebrated as both - The Advent of Spring in India and Victory of Good over Evil. It has several myths combined entwined with it, To make it simple, Holi is for Indians what Easter is for you people, Only we have fun with Colors and people also consider Holi to mark the beginning of the Spring and hence a New Year, Time to Celebrate and have fun with your friends and neighbours :D
People just go around throwing colored powder or water on each other.
I went and it was fucking sick. The cloud part is just like a mosh pit and when the colors are thrown you cant see or breathe for shit, and its scary at first but you just get covered in the colors and everyone is so friendly and fun! i highly recommend people going, its like March 28 every year. Seriously you will have the time of your life!
love from India , obviously we also have many idiots like any other country , so plz just ignore them and enjoy the colours ... i am going to give you guys stiff competition next year .. lets see who enjoys more .. lolz .. Hari bol ..
Hey, it is supposed to be a Hindu festival, but at the end of the day its about colors, togetherness and having fun. Why should anyone mind if Americans want to celebrate it too?! Besides this sort of thing eliminates all the black and white, everyone is just pink, yellow and green! :)
they're hindus and sikhs?, how come those americans are hindu and how come there is a temple hindu in US????????????????????????. and how come those americans are celebrating hindu festival????????????
@aryowailangitoyo97 chill out and dont shit yourself....no, most of them are Christians white people (Mormons)....they aren't Hindus, they came to experience something new and fun...they learned about new cultures and got new idea....there are hundreds of Hindu temples across America, there are at least 2.2 million Hindus in America (mostly Indian.) Its fun....they are celebrating because they are open minded....silly Muslim
Wht are you bragging at dude. I understand that you are here for argument, , which Iam NOT. You might NOT call kafir but you are effectively pretty much DOING same stuff in different way - WHT BIN LADEN AND CO DO - EXCEPT THT THEY HAVE THEIR TRADEMARK, YOU HAVE YOUR VERSION. If you live only for this hatred, quit youtube, apparently they are holed out in US. And for the time being, I do NOT require your permission for wht religious tag i should hold. FACT:You are hindu only for politics.
Indians its YOUR RIGHT AND DUTY TO reclaim your history , your culture your pride................the same people now dancing with you during holi, we and are the ones who degenerate you!!!.........and KICK OUR MACAULEY INDIANS....indian in color but white in taste and opinion......LIKE srksjpdmnbhn
any person who is not of hate can join we are not like christians or muslims...we dont call other kfairs or heathens while you may not allow indians into a church or mosqe, while your ancecstors looted and enslaved indian ...degraded them, we as god truth still carry on ....u dont allow us in, but we allow you in...and that SAYS IT ALL......doesnt it.....
@OneDharmaYouMovement lol it is hindus who dont allow non hindus to enter into their temples bcoz they consider them untouchables and u ppl dont convert others into your religion bcoz u consider your religion to be so great that they cant take untouchables into hinduism but where as christians and muslims allow others into their worship places but also convert them bcoz they consider all equal in one God.
@javed2783 Sanatan Religion(Hinduism) is 1st Religion of Man; "Ekam Sad Bipra, Bahudha Vadanti (Rg Veda)". Truth/God is One, people call It(Him) by variously.So, other religions were born."Yo Mam Pashyati Sarvatram..(Bhagavad Gita)", meaning "One who sees Me in everything..". Thus ALL people have God Established in them and are equal. Over millenia, Sanatan(Hnduism) has degraded and divisions, castes have SHAMEFULLY appeared.So,ALL Muslims,Jews etc.are Sanatan(Hindus), including YOU my brother.
@javed2783 lol...still with this temple stuff? Dude many main temples allow dalits, and most of them still do....only in villiages and some old school places don't. Grow up...
indian dharma is the truth......Remeber that my indian brothers we are truth, we are god word....buddist, sikhism, jainsim, hinduism are one. one message peace, non violence, vegetarianism, non converiosn. India was looted, by christians and muslims, india is poor today cos of that, but dont let that fool you my brothers, they looted our wealth, our cities, our people, our land, but in the end we ar ethe ones that wil have the last laugh. Join the dharma and return back to god.
we are not like MUSLIMS, or CHRISTIANS, dont class others as heathens or kafirs, we dont force conversion and we dont promote the slave trade, we dont kill others for their faith, we are secular, we didnt invade america, africa or china, then enslave them, capture them , loot them and then convert them...just so today a stupid indian macualey educated person thinks he is the spokesperson for dharma faith ...so please get a REALISATION CHEK idiot. Holi is for everyone. we dont call others heathen
why is everyone complaining about trying to "americanize" this totally fun and cool hindu festival? i would look at this as a good thing, that people like your ideas and want to apply it to their lives. but it seems like people will bitch and moan even when theyre ideas are supported
@lekuindia well these 2 Americans wants us to comment tats the whole point...ALSO ur an idiot just because I am hindu doesn't mean I am not american...yes I am offended ...i m surprised why not more indian americans are offended....stop getting ohm tattoos as well...n practicing yoga to get ur sex on...tat is not the point of my religion !!!!
n if we talk in Hindi you wouldn't understand...we need to get our point across...so u STFU....try understanding this....MADAR CHOD !!!! LOL
ALL INDIANS , Please shut up guys , i am an indian , stop saying they are exploiting it and all that . Let's enjoy it like people , this festival of colours is real fun . lets just have fun .
u americans really know how to celebrate!!!! avoid these loser skeptics,dey are yet another disgrace to d hindu society who endorse ideas like "god is one" on one hand and on d other hand go about contradicting themselves by slandering wat shud b appreciated..hats off to u guys! m dfn8ly celebrating my nxt holi in utah! :)
hare krisha hare rama, was that a temple in the background. anyways good that yall had fun. btw Holi is celebrated not only by Hindus n Sikhs. In Nepal even Buddhists and Kirants celebrate it. Peace be with u. Hari Om
@shicool1 - Hindu Knowledge is not the personal property of Indian Hindus, it belongs to the world. And many of these people are Hare Krishnas. im indian btw.
@lekuindia english comes from an indo-european language, britain looted india for over 200years so that wealth is INDIAN, HOLI is INDIAN, yoga IS indina, chess IS indian, calculus IS INDIAN.. what i find amusing is this many people in this crows will never ever respect hinduism, they attack it, just like their slave owing christian fathers, they loot them, they call them non beleivesr, or idol worhshippers, BUT most american dont mind indulging in certain aspects that SUIT THEM..TWO faces.
They celebrate better than us. Our festival? The only thing the so called hindus do in ANY festival is to booze and chase around prostitutes for extra festivity. BTW, I am a hindu and Iam glad to celebrate with anybody.
your not a hindu your a macauleys child dont your ever forget that prick...BTW i am hindu.. whats your point in telling everyone that..you think somehow it makes your negative asssumption better?...lets look at drink stats around the world, the highest consumer of alcohal are white people, the sexualisation of women and girls happen american, the highest rape, broken homes, happen in the world richest country..so please DONT LET YOUR ENGLISH EDUCAITON DISTORT hinduism YOUR not hindu
@shicool1 I'm with @halfthrottle, how is this celebration trying to exploit your festival? You obviously need to do some research on the Hare Krishna Movement in America.
I was there. My snot is still purple, I have bruises from all the dancing and crowd surfing, and my shoe is still on the pavilion you see the musicians playing in. I loved it; I'm going every year.
@ArsenalFCAshburtonrd hahaha it is in NYC Richmondhill Queens, parade starts on Liberty ave and then goes to smokey park its mostly west indians, indians and people from the caribbean. Youtube it you`ll see, it was actually two weeksends ago.
@highlytoxic Americans know how to celebrate and party better than you, and Hindu's. You are just jealous at how awesome this video is, you probably just sit in your house and throw colors up in the air by yourself.
@highlytoxic Yeah, shanti. Come on. Holi is a wonderful celebration. Why limit someone's experience? Should Americans also not celebrate Christmas because the Bible was written in Hebrew? If you're a Hindu, you should be honored that another culture is celebrating your ways. That means they recognize that you guys know how bring in Spring in the right way. That's your gift. Don't try to act like you OWN your religion.
hey guys and gals why dont u play wid wet colours man???its too much exciting....mix ur colours in bucket of water and mix them well and den splash dem all over..man its blushing fun..njoy.whohhhhhhh..... :) :D
Colors Festival 2011 will be held Sat.March 26th from10 am til 8 pm, & Sunday Sunday March 27th from Noon til 4 pm. Throwings every 2 hours and lots of bands this year.
@highlytoxic what he means is that its fall durning the spring season, how is he Americanize the festival when its event is sponsored Hare Krishna temple and yes I am also an hindu
@highlytoxic stop being ignorant! Holi (होली), is a spring religious festival celebrated by Hindu all over the world!!what are you talking about??NOT celebrations of Spring??? go ask mummy puppa again lol which part of India do you live in hahah? try learn more "HISTORY" about our own culture first rather than trying to rant of on NRI's!
@highlytoxic, if you were actually paying attention, he said, "Nobody knows how to BRING IN THE spring Like the Holi Krishna." That doesn't mean that we are altering your traditional version of the celebration, it just means that we like to celebrate it in the spring, seeing to the fact that it's a large, colorful celebration. And if we took the concept, we can alter it if we want. There's nothing wrong with that. All we're doing is mixing cultures FOR fun. Do you know the concept of the word?
@highlytoxic And by that meaning, "nobody knows how to bring in the spring..." As in, how THEY celebrate it; not you. He means how we do it Utah, not how it's done in India with Hindu tradition.
Believe me, I'm not a fan of Americanizing, but you should try to just look at it as fun, and be thankful that we're actually not slandering your religion like half of the people in the Middle East, regardless of the fact that America houses ALL religions, because everyone is welcome here.
@highlytoxic Why not? People have been appropriating other people's festivals since the beginning of time. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
@ANTIemo187 Lmfao funny am actually Hindu n its great to see a large group of Only white people celebrating this festival, funny, after all I, and most Hindus celebrate Christmas. we need understanding peace n love
@highlytoxic - Hindu Knowledge/Festivals is not the personal property of Indian Hindus, it belongs to the world. And many of these people are Hare Krishnas. im indian btw.
@highlytoxic Whoever thinks that this is Americanization of the festival is a SHAME to Hinduism. This is Holi, the festival of celebrating colors and joy of vividness. Your life is sadly in black and white, seems like.
Oh man...I went to the first session of it this year, and it was absolutely insane! SO much fun! You can't see or breathe, and there's people body-surfing all over the place and people are running up to you and hugging you and smearing chalk on your face....BLISS
oh my gosh I went to that for my friends party. good heck it was alot of fun but it was insane inside the cloud like it burned your eyes and smelled weird and tasted so bad. other than that it was tons of fun and I would love to go again in 2011. haha....(:
Thats the beauty of this religion called Hindu. There is nothing in bhagvadgita like Kill Infidels, kill non-believers, there is only one god, etc etc. Believe in God, Believe in Science, Believe in Peace. Thats the only way to live a peaceful life.
@77777771226 don't beleive in god. read Carl Sagan quoting from the rig ved which questions the relevance of a god. Krishna if ever he lived said: just do it. because everything is an illusion anway
@dushtpache dont get too much into any religion, religion doesnt give u food, u have earn it by your hardwork, religion only teaches the moral way to live the life, thats it
@77777771226 Krishna say's Himself, in the Bhagavad Gita over and over and over again that He is the Absolute Supreme Person, so I don't know your mood when you say He doesn't say that "there is only one god".
one of dozens of examples: “I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts”(Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.8)
@secretsmastery:dude that was been addressed to the kauravas, who were the evils not to the other religions, there is nothing been addressed to non hindus in bhagwadgita, u should chill about it lolzzz
@77777771226 Are you kidding? The Bhagavad Gita is the imperishable science spoken by Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead to Arjuna, His dear cousin and best friend. The contents of that conversation is the gem of the whole Mahabharata and is addressing every man's need for understanding of who he is as an eternal soul, who is God, how does nature work, what is time, and what is the law of karma.The Kauravas never got to hear what was being spoken. I suggest you read it, "AS IT IS"
What is amazing is the Bhagavad Gita is spoken on a battlefield when Arjuna didn't want to fight, Krishna told him it was his duty to kill. Arjuna was a righteous warrior who wanted to know his duty. Yet there is no mundane discussion in the Bhagavad Gita, only the science of the soul.
@CreativeFilmMaker This might be one of those live only type of songs. I have no idea what the name of it is. Probably has Hare Krishna in the title though :p
@CreativeFilmMaker Try visiting utahkrishna . org They may have a posting there of the different bands who played, or might respond to an email and be able to help you. They have seen this video, and posted it on they're blog. So someone there should know what your talking about.
@CreativeFilmMaker The "band" doesn't have a name and we only play for this function every year. It consists of me and my husband my father in law and his wife and our good friends, as well people come from out of state like Govinda Dot and TK. They are widley known singers you could probably find online. We don't have any recordings its a come see us live only thing.
@kenai336Desse If you listen close to this video, you'll hear that I have looped one part of the song over and over. Since I didn't get one solid recording of you guys singing I had to edit it like that. Otherwise the audio would have been just as random as the video clips. You guys totally rock by the way. The video has had a lot of compliments on your music.
@halfthrottle yes I did notice that because the timing was off and the backup singers didn't sing back to Jai Krishna. It is still one of the better movies of Holi. I have been trying to find a recording of us on stage when we do the drum song, as we like to call it. Its just drums through the whole thing, its a very mysitcal song, but the Hare Krishna song is the only one anyone has because its our "countdown" song.

nice to see ppl in west enjoying Indian festivals- Holi, but I hope they know the meaning behind the festival rather than just dancing like spoilt kids.
There is lot to the festival than color and dance.
By the way there are other indian festivals like- dusshera, diwali, ganesh chaturthi, sankranti, raksha bandhan, and a whole lot . Indian festivals rock ...it feels gr8 when u celebrate this festivals in India while growing up and all members of the family, community enjoying it equally.

@highlytoxic Yeah, shanti. Come on. Holi is a wonderful celebration. Why limit someone's experience? Should Americans also not celebrate Christmas because the Bible was written in Hebrew? If you're a Hindu, you should be honored that another culture is celebrating your ways. That means they recognize that you guys know how bring in Spring in the right way. That's your gift. Don't try to act like you OWN your religion.

marsinfur 11 months ago 2
@highlytoxic, if you were actually paying attention, he said, "Nobody knows how to BRING IN THE spring Like the Holi Krishna." That doesn't mean that we are altering your traditional version of the celebration, it just means that we like to celebrate it in the spring, seeing to the fact that it's a large, colorful celebration. And if we took the concept, we can alter it if we want. There's nothing wrong with that. All we're doing is mixing cultures FOR fun. Do you know the concept of the word?
Florentine22 11 months ago
@highlytoxic And by that meaning, "nobody knows how to bring in the spring..." As in, how THEY celebrate it; not you. He means how we do it Utah, not how it's done in India with Hindu tradition.
Believe me, I'm not a fan of Americanizing, but you should try to just look at it as fun, and be thankful that we're actually not slandering your religion like half of the people in the Middle East, regardless of the fact that America houses ALL religions, because everyone is welcome here.

Thats the beauty of this religion called Hindu. There is nothing in bhagvadgita like Kill Infidels, kill non-believers, there is only one god, etc etc. Believe in God, Believe in Science, Believe in Peace. Thats the only way to live a peaceful life.

@77777771226 Krishna say's Himself, in the Bhagavad Gita over and over and over again that He is the Absolute Supreme Person, so I don't know your mood when you say He doesn't say that "there is only one god".
one of dozens of examples: “I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts”(Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.8)

77777771226 10 months ago
@77777771226 Are you kidding? The Bhagavad Gita is the imperishable science spoken by Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead to Arjuna, His dear cousin and best friend. The contents of that conversation is the gem of the whole Mahabharata and is addressing every man's need for understanding of who he is as an eternal soul, who is God, how does nature work, what is time, and what is the law of karma.The Kauravas never got to hear what was being spoken. I suggest you read it, "AS IT IS"
secretsmastery 10 months ago
What is amazing is the Bhagavad Gita is spoken on a battlefield when Arjuna didn't want to fight, Krishna told him it was his duty to kill. Arjuna was a righteous warrior who wanted to know his duty. Yet there is no mundane discussion in the Bhagavad Gita, only the science of the soul.

@CreativeFilmMaker The "band" doesn't have a name and we only play for this function every year. It consists of me and my husband my father in law and his wife and our good friends, as well people come from out of state like Govinda Dot and TK. They are widley known singers you could probably find online. We don't have any recordings its a come see us live only thing.

@kenai336Desse If you listen close to this video, you'll hear that I have looped one part of the song over and over. Since I didn't get one solid recording of you guys singing I had to edit it like that. Otherwise the audio would have been just as random as the video clips. You guys totally rock by the way. The video has had a lot of compliments on your music.
halfthrottle 1 year ago
@halfthrottle yes I did notice that because the timing was off and the backup singers didn't sing back to Jai Krishna. It is still one of the better movies of Holi. I have been trying to find a recording of us on stage when we do the drum song, as we like to call it. Its just drums through the whole thing, its a very mysitcal song, but the Hare Krishna song is the only one anyone has because its our "countdown" song.

There is lot to the festival than color and dance.
By the way there are other indian festivals like- dusshera, diwali, ganesh chaturthi, sankranti, raksha bandhan, and a whole lot . Indian festivals rock ...it feels gr8 when u celebrate this festivals in India while growing up and all members of the family, community enjoying it equally.
