HISTORY OF HOLI:
Holi is
a national holiday in India and Nepal with regional holidays in other
countries.The origins of Holi come from a mix of Hindu mythology including the
popular legend of Hiranyakashyap - a demon king who wanted to be immortal.He
wanted everyone to worship him as god but his own son, Prahlada,
chose to worshipped Vishnu instead, which offended his father.
One
day the demon king asked his sister Holika, who had a magic shawl that could
not catch fire, to sit on a raging fire with Prahlada in her lap.As the fire
burned the shawl flew from the Holika’s shoulders onto Prahalada and she
perished while he survived.
The
god Vishnu, impressed by Prahalada’s devotion, then appeared and killed the
demon king, Hiranyakashyap.Another Hindi legend remembered over Holi is the
tale of Lord Shiva and Kaamadeva.It is believed Kaamadeva, the god of passion,
woke Shiva from his deep meditation so he could save the world.
