HOLIKA DAHAN & HISTORY OF HOLI

HOLIKA DAHAN &HISTORY OF HOLI                  Holika Dahan                                                                            Holika Story  Legends say it that it that there was a time when lived a brutal King named Hiranyakashyapa. This demon king Hiranyakashyapa was very cruel and thus forcefully suppressed all this subjects and make them his devotees. He tried to eliminate the existence of God from the earth and establish his own supremacy everywhere. All the citizens of his kingdom were forced to pray to Hiranyakashyapa and not to Vishnu. However his own son, Prahalad, the little never abided by his Kingdoms rule. He tried every way to stop Prahalad from worshipping Vishnu but the little devotee never stopped praying his almighty. History of Holi                                     Holi is one of the most ancient festivals in India and was originally named 'Holika’. Celebrated throughout the country with immense zeal and fervor, Holi is also one of the most popular Indian festivals abroad. The celebrations of Holi differ from region to region, however the zeal and gusto with which the festival is welcomed throughout the country remains the same. It is often said that the modern form of Holi was introduced in Mathura and Vridvana by Lord Krishna himself and that is why Holi holds a special significance in the eastern part of the country. Read on this article to explore the origin as well as the history of Holi in the country. History of Holi  The exact origin of the festival can not be found, though several historians claim that the Holi celebration in the country was brought along with the Aryans. It is also quoted as a reason that Holi is still celebrated with great zeal in the more Aryan dominant Northern and Eastern India. There is also a detailed description of this festival in early religious works such as Jaimini's Purvamimamsa-Sutras and Kathaka-Grhya-Sutras. Several other religious and historical texts also discuss in detail about the festival. It is said that Holi is celebrated in India, since an immemorial time, even in the period before Christ. However, the meaning of the festival is believed to have changed over the eras and phases. Long ago, Holi was a special rite performed by married women for the happiness, well-being and prosperity of their families and the full moon (Raka) was worshiped for bringing auspiciousness and pleasure. With time the way of celebration has changes. Also, the prominent legends related to the festival have changed with time. Holika Dahan - Science behind it! Holi is a festival of colors - falls on the last full moon day of Falgun month according to Hindu calendar. This date corresponds to some day in the month of March. It is celebrated because according to the Hindu mythology, it marks the death of Holika, the sister of Hrinyakashyapu, who cunningly tried to kill Prahlad, the son of Hrinyakashyapu. And hence, once again, marks the victory of the good over the evil. Prahlad tricked by Holika In order to project the same in the modern times, we have the culture of Holika Dahan (the downfall of Holika). Its normally done in the following way: 1. People gather wood and combustible materials for a bonfire in an open area. 2. The visitors come prepared with a garland of cowdung-cakes and cowdung bricks. 3. On top of the bonfire, they place effigies to signify Holika and Prahlad who tricked Prahalad into the fire. 4. The bonfire is then set to flames and Prahlad is pulled out of the fire - marking the end of Holika. 5. People now throw their cowdung cakes and bricks into the bonfire and perform praikrama. 6. Once the flames of the fire are huge and high, people take away a few burning cakes and bricks to their homes. Holika Dahan Cow dung cakes Scientific Reason behind having such a tradition: The festival holds significance with respect to end of winter season and the onset of the summer season. This 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 Parikrama (circumambulation or going around) around the fire, the heat from the fire kills the bacteria in the body thus, cleansing it. Usage of cowdung: In the ancient medical system, the practice of treating diseases with the use of cowdung was highly prevalent. It is a proven fact that medicinal properties are present in the cowdung cakes and the resultant smoke that emanates after burning them. Cowdung contains plenty of Menthol, Ammonia, Phenol, Indol, Formalin and specifically its bacteriophages eradicates the pathogens and is a recognized disinfectant. Merely with the smell of fresh cowdung malarial fever and the pathogenic bacteria vanishes. So, from now on, do go to Holika Dahan, and burn it. Enjoy a colourful Holi. Happy Holi !!!  May this Holi will fill all the COLOURS in ur life.........

Dedicated to all the fathers ! 👌Tooo good... must read....

Dedicated to all the fathers !

Tooo good... must read....                                         

 

■ How important is a father in one’s life?

Mothers are the Soul of our homes... 

whereas fathers are their very existence.

But have we ever given much thought to the nature of this existence?

Little is written or said about fathers, 

even though we understand their value in our lives.

We hardly ever hear anyone talk about fathers. .. 

Mothers are made of an ocean of tears. 

Fathers are a wall of self-control.

Mothers relieve their pain through tears, 

fathers only console, and it is harder to console than it is to cry.

Surely the candlestick is hotter than the flame, yet

it is always the flame which gets the praise.

We remember mothers as the ones who took care of our daily needs, yet

 how easily we forget fathers, who arrange finances for daily needs!

Mothers can cry uncontrollably in public, and fathers sob in their pillows at night.

Mothers are allowed to cry; fathers can never be seen in tears.

We can notice the patches on his shoes. 

His tattered vest is a sure sign of the struggle he gone through.

 His unshaven beard is a sign of his frugality. 

He will buy new pairs of expensive jeans for his children, 

while an old pair of pajamas will do for him.

While children don’t blink an eyelid when they spend 1000's of Rs in a

 beauty parlor or salon, yet in their own home, a father may be using 

whatever is at home to avoid any salon or parlor visits.

When a father is ill, he does not rush to the doctor. 

He does not fear his illness but is afraid in case the doctor tells him to

 rest for a month, as there will be no other bread earner in the family.

Whether he can afford it or not, he works hard to get his son admitted to an

engineering or medical course.

Despite the shortage of funds he sends money regularly to his child at 

university even some children go on a gala spending spree on

 the same day the money arrives.

The Father is the existence of the home. 

The home is secure from outsiders when a father, in the form of its manger,

 is alive. He holds the position of the chief executive of the household.

 He sees, repairs and cares for jobs around the house.

When you announce your exam results, it seems that mother is the closest

 person to you because she takes you in her arms, praises you and

 blesses you, but no one notices the father who quietly slips away to the

 sweet shop to get sweets to distribute among family and friends...

God made paradise under the feet of your mother but 

he made the father take care of the thorns under your feet....

♢ Salute to All Fathers of the world.

Safety... You will regret if you forget...!

Nutrition You Need As a Vegetarian!

Nutrition You Need As a Vegetarian!

If you're a vegetarian, or just don't like the taste of meat, it's important to know to add certain nutritional values to your diet, or you may end up being malnourished in some way. So, to keep your body and mind healthy, check that your daily intake covers them all!

Calcium Calcium, as you probably know, helps build bones and teeth (which are also bones) as well as helping the neurons in your body to transfer messages to the muscles. Fish are an excellent source of calcium, but if you're vegetarians, you can get this essential mineral from dairy products, enriched soy products, nuts, legumes and green vegetables, broccoli, okra and cabbage.   Iodine Iodine is essential for your metabolism, as in converting material into energy, as well as the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. It is usually found in sea fruit and so many vegetarians suffer a lack. Vegetarian sources include cooking salt, table salt and enriched dairy products. Iron The body requires iron to make hemoglobin which carries the oxygen in the blood stream. Red meat and poultry are a great source of iron, but if you are looking for vegetarian alternatives, you can get your iron from dried fruit, legumes, seeds, vegetables and whole wheat grains and flax seeds. Take into account that when you take these with coffee, tea or cacao, their absorption rate goes down because these products contains mixtures that block the absorption of iron. This is the reason why vegetarians are advised to consume iron with sources rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, peppers, strawberries and guavas, which markedly improve its absorption. Omega 3 DHA and EPA are two type of the omega 3 fatty acid, and they are important to the development of both the eyes and the brain, as well as keeping your heart healthy and ticking. Omega 3 is mainly found in fatty fish, like salmon and tuna, but can also be consumed from vegetarian sources such as flax seeds, walnuts, canola oil, flax oil, soy oil and soy products. Some types of energy bars also have omega 3 in them. Protein Every cell in our body contains protein, and we need it in order to fix cell damage, build tissues, grow hair, fingernails and bones. Protein is in almost every food we eat, and so there's a large variety of vegetarian sources: Soy, beans, bran, lentils, chickpeas, seeds, almonds and eggs to name a few. Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 helps produce red blood cells and DNA, and is required for the neurological functioning of the body. It is found naturally in meat, but is also added to foods like soy milk and energy bars, and can also be found in eggs and various cheeses like yellow cheese, mozzarella cheese, pate cheese, cottage and eggs. Vitamin D Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is important to bone health, as well as serving an important function in the nervous system, the muscle system and the immune system. The body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to the sun, but modern living as well as cloudy environments, don't always allow enough exposure. Vegetarian sources for vitamin D include: Milk and enriched soy milk, certain mushrooms, banana and avocado. Zinc Zinc is extremely important if you want a functioning immune system and body cells. Although it can be found a-plenty in beef, you can also consume it from soy products, peanuts, hummus, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, oatmeal and a variety of legumes, if in smaller concentrations.
