When you close your eyes in dhyan, certain forms, shapes, smells, colours and sensations are revealed to you. Is it a play of mind or do those things actually exist? If it is a play of mind then how is it that those experiences are identical to the descriptions found in our ancient texts and they happen to even those who have never seen those texts in their life? Definitely, it is not the play of mind. People who are into the practices see their thoughts manifest in front of their eyes, which cannot be the play of mind. All those things exist in the ‘other’ dimensions can be perceived through higher senses. Interacting with subtler energies like Lord Vishnu or controlling the fire element too is a function of the other senses.

There are certain days when the position of constellations is such that doors to other dimensions open and it is extremely easy to access them through mantras, kriyas and yagyas as prescribed by one's Guru. The night of Holi is one of them. On this night it is extremely easy to access an aspect of the energy of the preserver. Mantras, which are codified, unmanifested forms of Gods and Goddesses, on this day develop the body and energy of respective Gods and Goddesses. Night of Holi is the night of wish fulfillment and manifestation of thoughts through mantra given by the Guru.
