Brunei: Holi Puja - Thursday, 13th March 2025, 1830 – 1930 hrs @ BFB Temple


BFB TEMPLE SERVICE (HOLI PUJA) – THURSDAY 13 MARCH 2025


BLUF: The colourful festival of Holi puja (worship) is scheduled to take place at BFB Temple on Thursday, 13 Mar 25. 

All BFB serving personnel and families are warmly invited to participate in this significant Nepali cultural celebration of Holi.

Outline Scheme of Manoeuvre:
  • Pooja (worship) ceremony
  • Chir Jalaune (Bonfires)
  • Bhajan (songs/chants)
  • Religious Teacher’s spiritual speech
  • Celebration with colourful powders (within Temple area only)
Timing: 1830 – 1930 hrs. The Pooja will commence at 1830 hrs (please be seated by 1825 hrs).

Venue: BFB Temple

Significance of Holi Festival:

Holi is one of the most colourful and vibrant festivals celebrated in Nepal. With ancient origins, the tradition of Holi has been followed for decades. The festival holds religious importance and is associated with numerous mythological stories. One popular tale is that of Radha and Lord Krishna, where he playfully applied colour to Radha's cheek, sparking the tradition of playing with colours. The festival's significance remains strong, encompassing cultural, social, and biological aspects of life.

Connected to the Holika legend, during this spring festival, people recall the rescue of Devotee Prahlad from death by fire on Holika's lap. Each year, bundles of wood are burnt at night to reenact this scene, symbolizing the belief that those who love God will be saved while those who harm devotees will perish. Through throwing vermilion powder and splashing coloured water, people celebrate this joyous occasion in a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

Dress Code: Casual attire is recommended (avoid wearing expensive or new clothes).

Meal Timing @ 1 RGR Central Dinning Hall (PAYD): 1730 – 1815

How to protect yourself from loan sharks


A loan shark – or illegal money lender - is someone who lends money illegally without proper authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

That means if you borrow from them, they don’t have to follow the rules – they can decide how much you pay back and when.

These criminals are not always easy to spot - they can be a friend, a fellow service member, even a senior officer.

Whoever they are, they will usually appear as a friendly face, offering you a favour. They may tell you that what they are offering is nothing more than peer-to-peer lending and their offer may seem hard to resist.

But very quickly the situation can spiral out of control, and you could find yourself having to pay back much more than you initially borrowed. You might even be subjected to threats, violence and intimidation if you struggle to make a payment.
