*Holi the festival of colors*
Hello everyone once again and after a
long period of time. I Sourav and I welcome you to my new article on this
auspicious festival of colors. This is the season of Holi and everywhere in the
world, you see only the colors and colors. From children to the old people all
are in the world of colors in this season. Everyone is carrying colors in their
hands and waiting for someone to be put on. Someone is carrying powders and
someone is carrying a balloon of color water. In their hand. So looking to this
type of world where each and every person is happy I am feeling so happy and
glad. Even a poor person is playing Holi happily. I have prepared a small poem
regarding the bond of Holi. In some parts
of India, specially in Bengal and Orissa, Holi Purnima is also celebrated as
the birthday of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (A.D. 1486-1533). However, the
literal meaning of the word 'Holi' is 'burning'. There are various legends to
explain the meaning of this word, most prominent of all is the legend
associated with demon king Hiranyakashyap.
Hiranyakashyap wanted everybody in
his kingdom to worship only him but to his great disappointment, his son,
Prahlad became an ardent devotee of Lord Naarayana. Hiaranyakashyap commanded
his sister, Holika to enter a blazing fire with Prahlad in her lap. Holika had
a boon whereby she could enter fire without any damage on herself. However, she
was not aware that the boon worked only when she enters the fire alone. As a
result, she paid a price for her sinister desires, while Prahlad was saved by
the grace of the god for his extreme devotion. The festival, therefore,
celebrates the victory of good over evil and also the triumph of
devotion.Legend of Lord Krishna is also associated with play with colors as the
Lord started the tradition of play with colours by applying colour on his
beloved Radha and other gopis. Gradually, the play gained popularity with the
people and became a tradition.There are also a few other legends
associated with the festival - like the legend of Shiva and Kaamadeva and those
of Ogress Dhundhi and Pootana. All depict triumph of good over evil - lending a
philosophy to the festival.
