  • Holi – Holy Opportunity to Relish Divine Love
    HOLI – HOLY OPPORTUNITY TO RELISH DIVINE LOVE The festive bonfire; the smearing of dyes; the spraying of colored water; the joyful faces of all – these memories flash through any Indian mind, when reminded of Holi, one of the most important of all Indian festivals. Indeed, festivals are an integral and endearing part of Indian culture. They break the monotony of life, bring everyone together in joyful reunion and strengthen bonds of affection in the community. In traditional Vedic culture, festivals served another important purpose, a purpose that has been all but forgotten nowadays. Festivals were primarily meant to bring humanity closer to divinity; they served as occasions for people to put aside their worldly preoccupations and focus on the Lord and His glorious deeds. Without knowing this spiritual purpose, people nowadays get external fun through festivals and miss the internal enrichment that they offer. The upcoming festival of Holi, celebrated on the last day of the bright fortnight of the month of Phalgun, offers an excellent opportunity to regain what we have missed for long. Let’s start with the bonfire. The history of the bonfire dates back to millennia, when the demon king Hiranyakashipu ruled and terrorized the universe, considered God, Vishnu, and His devotees to be his arch enemy. When the demon saw that his own son, Prahlada, had become a devotee of Vishnu, he decided to kill Prahlada. But Lord Vishnu protected Prahlada during all the assassination attempts. In despair, Hiranyakashipu ordered his sister, Holika, who had been blessed with immunity from fire, to take Prahlada into fire and burn him to death.

  • NARASIMHA – 4Th AVATAR
    NARASIMHA – 4th AVATAR In the last avatar, Lord Vishnu as Varaha the wild boar, killed the asura Hiranyaksha and rescued the earth from him. Soon after that, Hiranyakashipu, a brother of Hiranyaksha, was very angry with the death of his sibling and wanted to take revenge. He ordered the Asuras, “Go destroy all good people on earth, put out their sacrificial fires & kill their cows. I will practice meditation and become the master of all the three worlds -Heaven, earth & the nether regions”. He went to Mount Mandara chala and began austere penance. He stood still for a long time and focused his thoughts on Lord Brahma. A big ant hill and grass grew on him but he did not move. While he was away in penance, Gods attacked the asuras. They found Hiranyakashipu’s pregnant queen Kayadhu in the palace bur sage Narada took her to his ashram to protect her. There she learned about the glory of Vishnu, and the child within also absorbed all the knowledge. Meanwhile, Hirayakashipu was still in meditation. Finally, Lord Brahma appeared before him and said, "I am very pleased with your prayers, so ask for a boon." Hirayakashipu asked Lord Brahma that he should live forever. Brahma refused, saying, "All living beings must face death. You can, however, choose your death wish." Hiranyakashipu then asked for the following conditions, as his death wish, "'O Brahma, let not death come to me either by man or beast, by day or by night, with a weapon or without a weapon, or indoors or outdoors, Brahma said, "May it be so!" After getting such a boon Hiranyakashipu lost no time in conquering and bringing both earth and heaven under his rule.

  • Holi, the Festival of Colors
    Holi, the festival of colors Grade Level: Middle School Curriculum Areas: Social Studies, World Cultures Goals: The goal of this lesson is to expose students to some of the history, mythology and cultural practices of India by learning about one of India’s most widely celebrated festivals, Holi. On a larger level, this lesson allows students to understand some of India’s cultural practices (namely the celebration of festivals and holidays) as very similar to their own, while still appreciating the ways in which they may differ. Objective: (1) To introduce students to the festival of Holi, celebrated across India (2) To root the festival in myth as well as contemporary practice (3) To analyze the festival as a community event by comparing Holi to holidays in America (such as Halloween) Lesson Description: This course is event-based and meant to visually and textually introduce students to the colorful festival of Holi celebrated across various parts of India. Although rooted mainly in Hindu religious mythology, its enthusiastic adoption across various religious sects attests to its popularity as a community event. Holi is celebrated from between two to five days beginning the full moon day of the month of Phalguna (February/ March) according to the Hindu calendar. The festival is a celebration of spring and heralds the beginning of a new crop season for farmers. India, historically having been an agricultural economy, celebrates many festivals in tandem with crop cycles. Holi has been historically celebrated by farming communities as a ritual that seeks to usher in a successful harvest. It is the community’s show of hope as well as a collective rejoicing in the spring.

  • A Brief Introduction to Hinduism
    1 A Brief Introduction to Hinduism By design, I began writing this chapter in a particularly auspicious place: sitting on the roof of my hotel in Varanasi, India, looking out over the Ganges River. Figure 1.1. On the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi, India, March 2012 The city of Varanasi (formerly called Benares) is one of the holiest cities in India, believed to have been founded by the god Shiva. It is sanctified by its proximity to the river Ganges, which is worshiped as a goddess who has the power both to purify sins and release a soul from the cycle of birth and death. 11 12 | Finding God among Our Neighbors Millions and millions of pilgrims come here every year to bathe in the purifying waters, to die and be cremated on the banks of the river, and to worship in the temples scattered throughout the city. Though certainly touched by modernity, Varanasi continues to present an ancient face of Hinduism; and it was there, walking among sadhus, beggars, and pilgrims, that I began to think about how to introduce Hinduism to Christians. It is no easy task. Of the five major world religions (Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam), it is certainly the case that Hinduism is both the least known and the least experienced by most Americans. This state of ignorance cannot continue, however, as the Hindu population both in the United States and worldwide continues to grow. Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world, behind Christianity and Islam. The majority of Hindus are located in India (95 percent, according to one source1) and Nepal, a secular state though constitutionally Hindu, but Hinduism is on the rise in the United States as well, primarily due to immigration.

  • The Legend of Prahlad and Holika
    Holi The Legend of Prahlad and Holika A long time ago, there was a demon king. He thought that he was more powerful than any god. He had taken over the whole world and he wanted everyone to worship him. They were not allowed to worship any other god. The demon king had a son called Prahlad. Prahlad worshipped a god called Vishnu. Prahlad said that he would never worship his father. One day, the demon king asked Prahlad a question. “Am I the greatest or is God the greatest?” “God is the greatest,” said Prahlad. “You are only a king.” Prahlad’s answer made the demon king very cross and he wanted to kill his son. The demon king made lots of different plans to hurt Prahlad. He threw him over a cliff, made an elephant stand on him and made snakes bite him. But every time that Prahlad was in danger, the good Vishnu stopped him from getting hurt. The demon king was getting tired of waiting so he asked his sister Holika to kill Prahlad. Holika had a magic cloak. She could not get hurt by fire if she was wearing it. Knowing this, the demon king asked Holika to sit on a bonfire and hold Prahlad in her lap. Prahlad would be killed but Holika would not be hurt because she was wearing her magic cloak. The gods were not happy when they heard about Holika’s plan. As the fire was lit, Vishnu made something magical happen. The cloak flew from Holika’s back and wrapped itself around Prahlad.
