Find out the facts behind the celebration of Holi
Vishnu mythology
There is a symbolic story of why Holi is celebrated as a celebration of the victory of good over evil in honor of the Hindu god Vishnu and his follower Prahlada. Provided: He can neither kill humans nor kill animals nor indoors. Outside, neither by day nor by night, nor by astra (projection weapon) or any scripture (hand weapon), nor on land, nor in water or air. Hiranyakashipu became arrogant, thought he was God and made everyone worship only him.Hiranyakashipu's own son Prahlad disagreed. He was a devotee of Vishnu. This angered Hiranyakashipu. He subjected Prahlad to cruel punishment, none of which affected the boy and affected his resolve to do what he thought was right. In the end, Prahlad's miscreant Holika threw him into a trap. Holika was wearing a dress that saved her from being injured by the fire, while Prahlad was not. As soon as the fire roared, the clothes flew from the bonfire and surrounded Prahlad who survived the bonfire. Vishnu, who appears as an incarnation to restore religion in the Hindu faith, took the form of Narasimha in the evening (half human and no animal), half human and half lion (when it was not day and night). Hiranyakashyap was taken to the front door (which was nowhere inside and outside the house), placed in his arms (which had neither land, water, nor air), And came out and killed the king with his lion's paw (which was neither a weapon in hand nor a starting weapon). The face of Holika and Holi symbolize the victory of good over evil, Prahlad over Hiranyakashipu and the fire that burns Holika.Krishna story
In the Braj region of India, where the Hindu god Krishna grew up, the festival is celebrated till Rang Panchami to commemorate Radha's divine love for Krishna. The spring season is formally celebrated with festivals and Holi is celebrated as a festival of love. There is also a symbolic myth in remembrance of Krishna. As a child, Krishna developed the dark skin of his character because his demon Putna had poisoned him with his breast milk. In his youth, Krishna became frustrated that fair-skinned Radha liked him because of his dark skin. Her mother was disappointed and tired and asked her to meet Radha and ask her face the color she wanted. She did so, and Radha and Krishna became a couple. Since then, the playful colors of Radha and Krishna's faces have been known as Holi. Except India,The story of work and sex
Among other Hindu traditions such as Shaivism and Shaktiism, the mythological significance of Holi is linked to deep meditation on Shiva and Yoga, with Goddess Parvati seeking to bring Shiva back into the world, seeking the help of a Hindu deity named Kamadeva on Vasant Panchami. The god of love throws arrows at Shiva, the yogi opens his third eye and burns the work to ashes. It saddens both the wife Rati (Kamadevi) and his own wife Parvati. Rati draws her attention for forty days, in which Shiva understands, forgives tenderness and restores the God of love. This return of the God of Love is celebrated as Holi on the 40th day after the Vasant Panchami festival. The importance of Kama Katha and Holi is especially varied in South India.Cultural significance
Holi has cultural significance among the various Hindu traditions of the Indian subcontinent. It is the day of the end and the day to rid oneself of the mistakes of the past, to meet others, to end strife, to forget and to forgive.
