Holi
Pranam all
Happy Holi, those who celebrate today and for those who will be celebrating tomorrow
May it bring colour in all our lives.
As a young lad Holi had to be one of the best period in my life, I can only look back and marvel at some of the wonderful time as I was growing up in Africa.
Unfortunately here in the west due to many circumstances, weather being one, it has lost it charm, but still it does not stop me thinking about it.
Hope it enhances faith for everyone attached to this wonderful festival, it gives us the past times of one of the great bhakta Prahlad Maharaj who under all trials and tribulations remained steadfast in his faith to Hari,
Instead of Prahlad being consumed by fire on this day Holika who was immune from fire got destroyed.
Jai Prahlad Maharaj
Jai Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who also appeared on this day.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
