Aries March Holi – A Festival of Color

By shirleytwofeathers

Holika, or Holi for short, is the Festival of Colour. It marks the end of the nippy winter months and the beginning of spring. This festival comes during the full moon in the Hindu month of Phagan, in February or March. In 2019, it falls on March 21, with the Holika Dahan beginning the evening of March 20.

Bura na mano, Holi hai! “Don’t mind (feel offense), it’s Holi!”

Holi is one of the major festivals of India and is celebrated on different dates every year. This great Indian festival is observed at the end of the winters in the month of March after the full Moon. A day before Holi a large bonfire is lit that helps in burning out the evil spirits and that whole process is called as Holika Dahan.

Traditions and customs:

Throwing coloured powder on each other

Throwing coloured and scented water

Public bonfire

Singing, dancing, and festive parties

This is a day to forget your worries

Colour can be found everywhere

Holi is celebrated with extreme enthusiasm and joy. Gulal, abeer and pichkaris are synonymous with the festival. Elaborate plans are made to colour loved ones and family members. Everybody wants to be the first one to colour the other. In the ensuing battle of colors, everybody is drowned not just in colours of gulal but also in love and mirth. People love to drench each other in coloured water. Gujiyas and other sweets are offered to everyone who comes across to colour.

Temples are beautifully decorated at the time of Holi. Idol of Radha is placed on swings and devotees turn the swings singing devotional Holi songs. Small plays are organised reflecting the spirit of the festival.

Fun, frolic, boisterousness to the extent of buffoonery marks this festival of colours. What more can be expected- when the people get a social sanction to get intoxicated on the bhang, open not just their hearts but also their lungs. And viola, nobody is expected to take offence too, as the norm of the day is, ‘Bura na mano Holi hai‘.

Holi Legends and Mythology

Foremost is the legend of Prahlad and Hiranyakshyap. The legend says there once lived a devil and powerful king, Hiranyakshyap who considered himself a god and wanted everybody to worship him. He demanded that no one pray to Lord Vishnu and that they only pray to him. In fear, people did as he bid. However, his son Pralhad was devoted to Lord Vishnu and would not abide by his father’s rules. To discipline him, Hirankashyap ordered harsh and cruel punishments, yet no harm came to Pralhad.

Finally, Holika (Hirankashyap sister), who was immune to the harms of fire, was ordered to sit on a bed of flames with Pralhad on her lap. Holika was burnt, but Pralhad survived unharmed. As Holika lay dying she begged Pralhad for forgiveness. Pralhad forgave her and deemed that one day a year would be to remember her. To commemorate “Holi”, large bonfires burn and people say a prayer to “Holi” for well-being.

Holi is also associated with the immortal love of Krishna and Radha. A young Krishna complained to his mother Yashoda about having such a dark complexion compared to his love Radha who was so fair. Yashoda told him to apply colour to Radha’s face and see what would happen.

Today, celebrations start early in Nandagaon, where Lord Krishna grew up. Men from Nandagaon raid nearby Barsana (where Radha grew up) with hopes of raising their flag over Shri Radhikaji’s temple. The women of Barsana “beat” the raiders with long wooden sticks. This is a mock battle and the men are well-padded as they try to evade capture. If captured, the men are forced to dress as women, paint their faces, and dance!

Mythology also states that Holi is the celebration of death of Ogress Pootana who tried to kill infant, Krishna by feeding him poisonous milk.

Another legend of Holi which is extremely popular in Southern India is that of Lord Shiva and Kaamadeva. According to the legend, people in south celebrate the sacrifice of Lord of Passion Kaamadeva who risked his life to revoke Lord Shiva from meditation and save the world.

Also, popular is the legend of Ogress Dhundhi who used to trouble children in the kingdom of Raghu and was ultimately chased away by the pranks of the children on the day of Holi. Showing their belief in the legend, children till date play pranks and hurl abuses at the time of Holika Dahan.

Cultural Significance

Celebration of the various legends associated with Holi reassure the people of the power of the truth as the moral of all these legends is the ultimate victory of good over evil. The legend of Hiranyakashyap and Prahlad also points to the fact that extreme devotion to god pays as god always takes his true devotee in his shelter.

All these legends help the people to follow a good conduct in their lives and believe in the virtue of being truthful. This is extremely important in the modern day society when so many people resort to evil practices for small gains and torture one who is honest. Holi helps the people to believe in the virtue of being truthful and honest and also to fight away the evil.

Besides, holi is celebrated at a time of the year when the fields are in full bloom and people are expecting a good harvest. This gives a people a good reason to rejoice, make merry and submerge themselves in the spirit of Holi.

Social Significance

Holi helps to bring the society together and strengthen the secular fabric of our country. For, the festival is celebrated by non-Hindus also as everybody like to be a part of such a colourful and joyous festival.

Also, the tradition of the Holi is that even the enemies turn friends on Holi and forget any feeling of hardship that may be present. Besides, on this day people do not differentiate between the rich and poor and everybody celebrate the festival together with a spirit of bonhomie and brotherhood.

In the evening people visit friends and relatives and exchange gifts, sweets and greetings. This helps in revitalising relationships and strengthening emotional bonds between people.

Biological Significance

It is interesting to note that the festival of Holi is significant for our lives and body in many other ways than providing joy and fun.

We also need to thank our forefathers who started the trend of celebrating Holi at such a scientifically accurate time. And, also for incorporating so much fun in the festival.

Why Celebrate Holi?

As Holi comes at a time of the year when people have a tendency to feel sleepy and lazy. This is natural for the body to experiences some tardiness due to the change from the cold to the heat in the atmosphere. To counteract this tardiness of the body, people sing loudly or even speak loudly. Their movements are brisk and their music is loud. All of this helps to rejuvenate the system of the human body.

Besides, the colours when sprayed on the body have a great impact on it. Biologists believe the liquid dye or Abeer penetrates the body and enters into the pores. It has the effect of strengthening the ions in the body and adds health and beauty to it.

There is yet another scientific reason for celebrating the Holi, this however pertains to the tradition of Holika Dahan. The mutation period of winter and spring, induces the growth of bacteria in the atmosphere as well as in the body. When Holika is burnt, temperature rises to about 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Following the tradition when people perform Parikrima (circumambulation or going around) around the fire, the heat from the fire kills the bacteria in the body thus, cleansing it.

The way Holi is celebrated in south, the festival also promotes good health. For, the day after the burning of Holika people put ash (Vibhuti) on their forehead and they would mix Chandan (sandalpaste) with the young leaves and flowers of the Mango tree and consume it to promote good health.

Some also believe that play with colours help to promote good health as colours are said to have great impact on our body and our health. Western-Physicians and doctors believe that for a healthy body, colours too have an important place besides the other vital elements. Deficiency of a particular colour in our body causes ailment, which can be cured only after supplementing the body with that particular colour.

People also clean-up their houses on Holi which helps in clearing up the dust and mess in the house and get rid of mosquitoes and others pests. A clean house generally makes the residents feel good and generate positive energies.

(AP, Reuters, Independent, Times of India) – Who does not love playing with colours? Playing with colour has always been fun to a lot of people from different age. Each colour has different meanings. Who does not love colour? Well, everybody does, from a very young age until adult. India recently burst with colour in celebration of Holi.

Hindu festival of Holi is popularly known as the “Festival of Colours”, “Festival of Spring”, or “Festival of Love”. As time goes by, this festival now celebrated by the non-Hindu people around the world, although the festivities predominantly occur in India and Nepal. The two–days celebration signifies the victory of good over evil and marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring. The use of colours in the festival is tied to stories about Lord Krishna.

This festival can be found in Hindu mythology, which tells the story of a demon, Holika and her brother, Hiranyakashipu. As the king, he believed that everyone should worship him as god. However, his own son, Prahlada, worship the Hindu god, Vishnu, and not him. Because of his son’s disobedience, the king and his sister, Holika planned to kill Prahlada by burning him in a pyre. When Holika tried to kill Prahlada, a magical shawl flew from Holika’s shoulder to Prahlada and Vishnu, the god that Prahlada worship appeared as half man and half lion and killed the king. Therefore, on the night before Holi, the bonfires are lit to signify the burning of Holika and the victory of good over evil. Other legends pertaining to Holi tells us the tale of the love shared between Hindu gods, Radha and Krishna.

Although the time of the event took place in March to mark the end of winter, the date can vary, depends on the moon. Some of the biggest celebrations take place in the temples of Vrindavan, a town in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, in which according to legend, is the place of the Hindu god Krishna played Holi with his consort, Radha. The festival split into two events, where it begins with Holika Dahan, which is the burning of pyres on the night before the main festivities and culminating with Rangwali Holi on the next day.

During the celebration, those who take part in the festivities sing, dance, and cover each other with gulal, which is a fine powder that comes in variety of colours and dyed water. The colours of the rainbow are all symbolic in Hinduism. Red represents sensuality, green symbolizes life and happiness, yellow is believed to represent knowledge, white signifies purity, while blue symbolizes determination. Inside the temples, priests spray pink and gold colours at hundreds of Hindu devotees with their arms raised in prayer as they sing religious hymns.

Although it is fun, celebrated by applying colours can damage your skin and hair. It is advised that before joining the festival, people should take care of their skin and hair by applying oil to their face, exposed skin and hair to protect against staining colour. Once the celebrations are over, it is also recommended to take shower as soon as possible to remove the colours using warm water.

Origin of the Indian calendar

The Indian national calendar, also called Sak Shalivahana calendar, is widely used for news transmission purposes with the Gregorian calendar. After a survey conducted by the Committee on Calendar Reform in 1950, it was concluded that about 30 different calendars were used to determine Hindu, Buddhist and Jain festivals.

They discovered that these calendars were based on similar principles prepared according to ancient theories and astronomical practices. On the other hand, the Islamic calendar was used by Muslims in India as well as for administrative purposes. Thus, the reforms of the 1957 calendar C.E. Because of the creation of the Indian national calendar, a formal and structured lunisolar calendar was finalized, with a leap forward in the Gregorian calendar.

Despite numerous attempts to create an integrated platform, many local variants are present. The government always uses the Gregorian calendar for administrative purposes and holidays are celebrated according to regional, ethnic and religious beliefs and traditions.

In terms of ethics, the astrologer uses the almanac (Hindu calendar based on the lunar calendar) to determine the date of the wedding and give a favorable moment after the comparison of the horoscope.

Structure of the Indian calendar

The suspicious calendar is based on the Luni-Solar system and consists of 12 months and 365 days. The first month of the Indian calendar is Chaitra and the last phalgun is. According to the Shaka Calendar, the names of the months are as follows:

1.  Chaitra

2.  Vaishakha

3.  Jyeshtha

4.  Ashadha

5.  Shravana

6.  Bhadra

7.  Ashwin

8.  Kartika

9.  Agrahayana

10.  Pausha

11.  Magha

12.  Phalguna

The national calendar is an advanced modification of the Indian solar calendar that still exists in the regions. The main unit is the civil day and the era is the era of the era. It is structured so that the tropical or age years are consistent, not the traditional constellation or the Nirayana year.

Religious holidays are based on the lunar calendar which accepts specific positions of the Moon and the Sun. Most holidays and holidays are on a specific lunar date (date), while others are at the sunrise time.

When calculating predictions in Vedic astrology or when comparing Muhurt, festivals, the element of the Moon is considered the main element. The planet in a solar calendar universe tells the apparent position of the sun. An example is a Gregorian calendar, used internationally and considered a standard device. In astrology, the position of the Sun's length in a solar month is likely to occur during the 30-degree interval that traverses the zodiac.
