thehat Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hare Krishna everyone, first I'd like to apologize if this is the wrong forum to be posting such a question. Today in New Zealand is Gaura Purnima. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how many days this lasts for and also what is the actual day of holi so i can notify my parents. Different sources are saying holi is on a different day. Thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rand0M aXiS Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes indeed. Last year I hid in my Guest Room in Godrum, near Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur Prabhupada's home and office, and I still got nailed with colors! All in good fun. There is a lot of drunken debauchery that goes on during Holi, be careful if you are in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehat Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks very much. Does Gaura Purnima just last for one day? Or does it end after sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rand0M aXiS Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 It is a one day event. The next day is the Festival of Jagannatha Misra. If you can perform a fast until the Moon rises it is especially nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
