A true and caring relation doesn't have to speak loud,
a soft sms is just enough to express the heartiest feelings.
Enjoy the festival of Holi with lot of fun.

Saade rang ko galti se aap naa kora samjho,
Isi mey samaaye indradhanushi saaton rang,
Jo dikhe aapko zindagi saadagi bhari kisi ki,
To aap yun samjho satrangi hai duniya usiki,
Holi aayi satrangi rango ki bouchar laayi,
Dher saari mithai aur mitha mitha pyar laayi,
Aap ki zindagi ho mithe pyar aur khusiyon se bhari,
Jisme samaaye saaton rang yahi shubhkamna hai hamaari.

Hisotry of Holi....

History of Holi

The celebration of Holi
is very ancient in its origin.
And by its very origin, it celebrates
an ultimate triumph of the 'good' over the 'evil'.
While, a feast of colors associated with the Holi,
is the face of this celebration,
the original reason of celebrating Holi, lies in its soul.
And this gives us the 'why' of this ancient festival.

Literally "Holi" signifies "burning" in Indian language.
But, how it came to be associated with 'burning', is a story.
The reference is found only in ancinet Indian mythology.
And It is the legend of Hiranyakashipu,
to whom the celebration of Holi is associated.

Way back in the pre-Christian era,
there lived a demon king named Hiranyakashipu in ancient India.
He wanted to avenge the death of his younger brother.
The brother, also a demon, had been killed by Lord Vishnu,
one of the supreme trio, monitoring the life and death in the universe,
(according to the Hindu belief).
To take on Vishnu, the tyrant king wanted
to become the king of the heaven, earth and the underworld.
He performed severe penance and prayer
for many years to gain enough power.
Finally he was granted a boon.
Powered by the boon,
Hiranyakshipu thought he had become invincible.
Arrogant, he ordered all in his kingdom to worship him, instead of God.
The demon king, however, had a very young son, named Prahalad.
He was an ardent devotee of Vishnu.
Despite his father's order,
Prahalad continued to pray to Vishnu.
So the demon king wanted to kill his son.
He asked the favor of his sister Holika
who, because of a boon, was immune to fire.
They planned that Prahalad would be burned to death.
A pyre was lit up and Holika sat on it, clutching Prahalad.
Yet, at the end Prahalad emerged unscathed by the fire,
And Holika, the demon, was burned to ashes.
The earnest devotion and
complete submission to Lord Vishnu savedyoung Prahlad.
Thus was the triumph of Prahlad, the representative of good spirits.And the defeat of Holika, the representative of evil.
Later, even the demon king Hiranyakashipu was killed by Lord Vishnu.
But that is quite a different story.
It is from Holika, that the Holi originated.
This legend is relived even today on the Holi-eve
when the pyre is re-lit in the form of bonfires.
Even today, people celebrate this occasion.
Huge bonfires are lit up every year
on the eve of the full moon night of the Holi to burn the spirit of the evils.
Hence the story associated with the soul of the celebration.

Now, let us look into the face of it.
How did the celebration of Holi assume a colorful face?
Well, it is linked to yet another legend, the legends of Krishna.
Though of much later origin, still,it was in the pre-Christian era.

According to the Hindu belief,
Krishna was a reincarnation of lord Vishnu himself.
It was Krishna, or, Krishn, the king of the ancient city of Dwarka,
who popularised the tradition of Holi.
The origin of the colorful and frolicking tone of Holi
lies in the boyhood of Krishna.
It all came up
as part of his pranks, he used to play with his boyhood mates
of Gokul and Vrindavan. Situated in north India,
these are the places where he spent his childhood.

It was at this time of year, Krishna used to play pranks
by drenching the village girls, with water and colors.
At first it offended the girls. But they were so fond of this mischievous boy
that soon their anger melted away. And, it did not take long
for other boys to join in, making it a popular sport in the village.
Later, as Krishna grew up, the play assumed a new dimension.
It added more colors to Krishna's legendary love life.
The legend of Krishna's courtship with Radha,
and playing pranks with the 'Gopi's.
The girls in the 'dairy' village of Gokul were mostly milkmaids,
and, hence locally known as the Gopis.
The same tradition has transpired through the ages,
turning it into a community festival of the masses.
As time kept flowing, the culture spread roots to other regions of the country.
The Holi play of Krishna is documented in hundreds of ancient paintings,murals, sculptures and scriptures found across the subcontinent.

Holi is a festival of joy and colors. However, one should always be on alert to prevent any accident that may mar all the fun and change the scene to a sad one. Here are some Dos and Don'ts that are necessary to really enjoy Holi to its fullest. Remember to use these precautions to enjoy the festival of Holi safely.

Holi is meant to be a rough festival with tradition of applying colors to the guests and friends with or without their consent. Any kind of rudeness is totaly forgiven on this day but these kinds of fun should also be participated under a certain limits. Fun, food and colors is all that should spread on this holy day of Holi. You should always remember to use these small precautions so that no one that you know or love gets hurt unknowingly.

Dental caps are a good idea to protect you teeth from staining.

Sunglasses go a long way in keeping your eyes safe from the harmful chemicals of the colors.

Wear old and ragged clothes that you can easily discard while playing Holi as your clothes may never look wearable again with all those color stains.

Wear full-sleeved t-shirts or shirts and leggings that cover your legs fully. Socks will be a good idea too.

Brightly colored and dark colored clothes are preferable for the mood of the day.

Granted that it is almost impossible to save you face from attack of colors, so while being attacked, keep eyes and lips tightly closed.

If you are playing Holi, apply a thick layer of coconut or any oil on your body and hair till they glisten and you become slippery.

This will not only help in escaping from the frenzied mob attack but also will help you to wash off colors easily later on.

While washing off the color, use lukewarm water and keep your eyes and lips tightly closed.

If you are traveling, keep the car windows tightly shut. Better still; avoid traveling on Dhuledi, the day of playing colors.

Have a happy & safe Holi !!!!!!!!!

Holi Hai
The trees smile with their sprout
of tender leaves and blooming flowers,
Eternal nature with its transient expression
Hails spring! with ecstasy and joy!
Bewildering shades with so many tinge
The land of beauty and greatness
India, witnessing color of happiness and peace.
Nation come alive to enjoy the spirit
A celebration of color- holi!
An experience of content, harmony and delight.

Holika burns amidst merriment and mirth-
Evil overpowered by love and devotion.
A festival to commemorate ‘rash lila’-
an enduring love saga of Radha and Krishna.

Gulal – red, green, yellow and countless
A day’s canvas - a riot of colors.
Lively crowd running hither and thither,
Rainbow of colors, dashing from every nook and corner.
Disregarding their woe and despair fervent folks,
rejoicing at the marvel of colors.
A day filled with luster and gaiety,
A day to smear our dreams-
With a splash of vibrant frenzy colors.
Holi hai! A spring of unbounded fun and frolic …
