Hey! You said you were Indian and I saw in another post you said you don’t talk to ppl much about ur astrology interest bc it’s too woo woo and seen as something of older generations (pls correct me if I’m wrong!). I just wanted to ask what the general attitude of Vedic astrology is India ? I imagine it would be hard to generalise just considering how many sects of Hinduism there are and how huge India is. Also this may be silly (and I hope I don’t sound ignorant) but do you learn about it at school? Not necessarily in a religious way but like from an academic, historical way? I live in Europe for example and I go to a historically catholic university, and so I have a course on ancient Roman religion which ofc doesn’t have much to do with our modern context or anything, but inadvertently we do learn about astrological signs and their archetypes. Just wondering if there would be an equivalent in Indian schools?

This post is so long winded I’m sorry. Last question: have you ever heard of the proto-indo-European theory, in terms of the origins of certain ancient religions in regions of Europe and Asia? It’s a super interesting linguistic theory, I would like to explain but this anon is already super long haha, I would recommend reading about it tho, and if you would like I could totally explain!

Yes I did indeed say those things. India is a large country and a country of a billion people. Astrology is a big part of Hindu culture. Some people are more religious than others and more superstitious than others. Astrology is not synonymous with religion tho. Its a part of it but not all religious people are going to also be deeply invested in astrology? Many people are but its not necessary. However, astrology is very important in certain areas of life, when fixing a marriage for example; since arranged marriages are common in India, astrologers are consulted (and being an astrologer is a real job here too) to draw up the synastry chart (we call it kundli milan which kind of means chart matching?? very literal lol, its to see how much your charts match with each other) and its a very elaborate process and on many occasions marriages don't take place because the kundlis dont vibe well or because it spells doom and gloom (indian astrologers can be vvv black and white, they will literally say "if you marry xyz, you will die a painful death etc although in many traditions its forbidden to predict death??), astrology is also used to fix a muhurat which means the most auspicious time to perform that activity? suppose you're constructing a house or moving into a home or getting married or sometimes even with elective C section, people choose the date based on the astrology of it (after consulting an astrologer)

regardless of caste or sects, astrology is kind of deeply permeated into Hindu culture and even many non Hindus are invested in it. contrary to what popular depictions of India may have you believe, religious syncretism is very much alive and has long been a part of Indian culture. so many Hindus go to dargahs, celebrate muslim festivals and many muslims celebrate hindu festivals and go to temples and there are many other religions in india as well and everybody kind of has a mish-mash of many different belief systems. but i would say upper caste Hindus can often be more "puritan" in their practices and beliefs and less willing to embrace others. all that said, for a lot of people, especially the younger generations (more than 50% of indians are below the age of 25) astrology is tied to superstition simply because for many many years, astrology has been used in many damaging ways.

indian astrologers can make very black and white predictions and since Indians in general love to be fatalistic and believe things are predetermined at birth, astrology negatively feeds this attitude and often punishes people who've done nothing wrong (here's an article that goes into some of it) an astrologer can say that your cousin will negatively impact your business and some people will go out on a limb and murder that cousin 💀💀im not in the slightest bit exaggerating when i say that people often take astrological predictions to the extremes in india. esp in the context of arranged marriage, it often happens that the person who is a perfect astrological match for you is some 34yr old man with a pedo stache (and you're 20 and the astrologer predicts that if you dont get married by 23 your family's luck will be ruined) so astrology is majorly practiced in ways that are demoralising and fcked up. this is why people think youre kind of insane or stupid or straight up fcked in the head if they know you believe in or practice astrology. its hard to try to explain to them that im more into decoding patterns based on the mythology of the stars and understanding the more philosophical and symbolic meaning of nakshatras *sigh*

no we dont study astrology in schools and its not looked at as a "legitimate" study either. spirituality is largely looked at as a scam in india because we have sooo many fake gurus and fake astrologers peddling their bs. astrology and spirituality are also heavily gatekept. many believe in it but they dont study it even if they practice it lol

i looked it up and all i could understand is that there is a common ancestor language to indian languages and european languages?? 😭idk more than that but it would be nice if you could explain it. idk if you mentioned it randomly or if there is a connection between the theory and vedic astrology?? either way, id like to hear your thoughts<333

sorry that this is soooo long lol

Holi 2024: Date, Timings, History, Food &Celebration, and All You Need to Know

Holi Hai!'' Listening to this, some of us will 'Rewynd' back to a time when colors weren't just shades of pixels for us but the essence of joy itself.

A time when every wall, every road, and every single person is a canvas, and we are free to paint it the way we like. The time of Holi and Dhuleti!

Picture this: every small village in India, every town, every city, buzzing with excitement as the full moon of Phalguna brightens the sky, signaling the arrival of Holi. With the laughter and playful shouts, there's an old tale being told. A tale of love, courage, and the triumph of good over evil, reminding us why we gather every year to splash colors, share sweets, and celebrate life's beautiful moments. So, grab your colors and let's dive into this vibrant story of Holi together.

What is Holi, and Why Do People Celebrate It?

Holi is a Hindu festival that celebrates the beginning of spring, good harvests, and fertility. It's also known as the Festival of Colors, Love, and Spring. 

Holi, or the 'festival of colors', symbolizes the rich tapestry of Indian culture, celebrating the onset of spring, the victory of good over evil, and the enduring spirit of community. Rooted in ancient legends, like the story of Prahlad and Holika, Holi symbolizes the triumph of faith and goodness.

It also celebrates the divine love of Radha and Krishna, showcasing the playful and delicate aspects of devotion. Beyond the mythology, Holi brings together people from all walks of life, dissolving social barriers in a shared experience of joy, forgiveness, and renewal. 

This festival reflects the essence of Indian tradition, where life is a colorful mosaic of moments shared with loved ones, celebrated with enthusiasm and open hearts.

Holi 2024 date and time:-

In 2024, Holi will be celebrated with its usual pomp and grandeur, aligning with the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Phalguna. The exact date and the auspicious time for Holika Dahan are determined by the Hindu lunar calendar, which represents the essence of tradition and astronomical significance.

Holi and Dhuleti will be observed on March 24th and March 25th, respectively, in 2024. 

The auspicious time, or muhurat, for celebrating Holi falls between 7:19 PM and 9:38 PM on March 24. Following this, on March 25, people can joyously play Holi by sharing colors and spreading cheer amongst friends and family members.

The auspicious time (muhurat) of Holika Dahan is from 23.15.58 minutes to 24.23.27 minutes. That means the duration of Holika Dahan will last for 1 hour and 7 minutes.

What is Dhuleti (Rangwali Holi)? 

“Dhuleti” is another term commonly used to refer to the celebration of Holi, particularly in regions of India like Gujarat and Maharashtra. 

It usually occurs on the day after the main day of Holi (Badi Holi). 

During Dhuleti, people come together to play with colors, spray colored water (known as "abeer" or "gulal") on each other, dance to music, enjoy festive foods, and exchange greetings and sweets.

It's a vibrant and joyful occasion that symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring.

How is Holi celebrated in different parts of India?

Fundamentally, Holi is a festival that has a celebration spread across two days. The first day is Holika Dahan, which takes place in the evening. The following day is Dhuleti, where people play with colors, flowers, and water in the morning.

Holi is celebrated with distinct traditions across different regions of India, each adding its own unique cultural flavor to the festivities.

North India (Mathura and Vrindavan): 

The birthplace of Lord Krishna, these cities observe Holi with exceptional zeal. The festivities here include the famous Lathmar Holi, where women playfully hit men with sticks, and the tradition is filled with singing and dancing.

West India (Rajasthan and Gujarat): 

In Rajasthan, royal processions and folk dances add to the Holi charm. Gujarat celebrates with the pot-breaking ritual, where men form human pyramids to reach and break pots of buttermilk.

East India (West Bengal and Odisha): 

In West Bengal, Holi, known as Dol Jatra, is celebrated with musical instruments, singing, and dancing. Idols of Radha and Krishna are placed on swings and worshipped.

South India (Karnataka and Tamil Nadu): 

While Holi is less prominent here, communities come together to celebrate with music, dance, and the exchange of sweets. The focus is more on religious aspects and temple rituals.

Where can I celebrate Holi in India?

Holi can be celebrated in any household, community, residential setting, or hotel in India, as it is a very widely celebrated festival, and you will find everyone celebrating it. 

However, to get the true sense of the Holi and Dhuleti celebrations, you must consider some special regions that take the whole celebration to the next level.

In Delhi, the festival is a musical extravaganza marked by tilak-adorned foreheads and spontaneous street parties. Varanasi's sacred ambience is heightened with colorful powders and riverside festivities. Anandpur Sahib offers a spiritual experience with martial parades and devotional music. Jaipur dazzles with elephant parades and palace events, while Goa's Shigmo brings folklore to life through parades and art. Vrindavan and Mathura draw devotees with their religious fervor, temple rituals, and less-crowded celebrations, truly showcasing India's diverse and rich festival culture.

Safety tips for Holi 2024:

Celebrating Holi safely enhances the joy of the festival. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and vibrant Holi:

Use natural colors: 

Opt for organic and natural colors that are skin-friendly and easy to wash off. Chemical colors can be harmful to the skin and hair.

Protect Your Skin and Hair: 

Apply oil to your skin and hair before playing Holi. This acts as a barrier and makes it easier to remove colors later.

Wear protective clothing. 

Long sleeves and pants can protect your skin from harsh colors and the sun.

Keep Hydrated: 

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as Holi celebrations often mean being outdoors for extended periods.

Eye Care: 

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from colors, and if color gets into your eyes, rinse them with clean water immediately.

Respect Consent: 

Always ensure that you play Holi with those who are willing to participate. Respect personal space and consent.

Safe Eating: 

Enjoy Holi delicacies, but be cautious about consuming anything offered by strangers.

First Aid and Emergency Preparedness: 

Keep a first-aid kit handy for any accidental injuries, and know the emergency contact numbers.

These safety measures will help everyone enjoy Holi while keeping health and well-being in mind.

Holi is more than just a festival; it's a day that brings hearts closer, mends broken bonds, and blankets the world in a spectrum of colors. It's a time when we can all let go of our inhibitions and truly revel in the joy of being together. So, this Holi, let's spread love, joy, and the vibrant colors of togetherness.
