Happy Holi! A festival that brings joy to our lives
Posted on March 3, 2023 by Anees Ahmad in Taxi ServiceHoli festival got its name from the well-known ‘Holika’. Once upon a time a king named ‘Hiranyakashap’ used to be the king of devils.
Because of his long penance, this boon has been received from Lord Brahma, which can kill him in the day, neither in the night, nor in the house, nor outside, nor on the earth, nor in the sky, nor through the weapon, nor through the scriptures.
He misses used his powers, he started being cruel to the lives on earth. He forced everyone to worship him not any other God.
He had a son named ‘Prahlaad’. His son was a dedicated Lord Vishnu devotee. He worshiped only him. Harnayakashap got very angry seeing that people outside worshiped him and his own son did not worship him.
He started threatening his son but he didn’t mind. He still kept on worshiping Lord Vishnu. He even made many attempts to kill his son but each one failed.
At last, he tried once more to kill him, he requested his sister to sit with his son in the fire, she sat with him and covered herself with the sheet that can protect her from the fire and let Prahlad burn into it. But Prahlaad was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, so Prahlaad was saved from the fire and Holika got burned. Lord Vishnu, after then killed Harnayakashap too. So, every year Holika Dahan ritual is performed a day before Holi.
Playing with colors started when Lord Krishna along with his besties started playing Holi. At that time colors were made up of natural flowers. Since that time Holi festival is celebrated by all in India with great enthusiasm.
