Wish you Happy Holi
Holi is also called Holaka or Phagwa. It is an annual festival celebrated on the day after the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna (early March). It celebrates spring, commemorates various events in Hindu mythology and is time of disregarding social norms and indulging in general merrymaking.
Celebrated all over India since ancient times, Holi’s precise form and purpose display great variety.
Originally, Holi was an agricultural festival celebrating the arrival of spring. Colors and water available after so long is what it essentially signifies. This aspect still plays a significant part in the festival in the form of the colored powders: Holi is a time when man and nature alike throw off the gloom of winter and rejoice in the colors and liveliness of spring.
For most Hindus it provides a temporary opportunity for Hindus to disregard social norms, indulge in merrymaking and generally “let loose.”
One legend commemorated by the festival of Holi involves an evil king named Hiranyakashipu. He forbade his son Prahlad from worshipping Vishnu, but Radhu continued to do offer prayers to the god. Getting angry with his son, Hiranyakashipu challenged Prahlad to sit on a pyre with his wicked aunt Holika who was believed to be immune to fire. (In an alternate version, Holika put herself and Prahlad on the fire on orders from her brother.) Prahlad accepted the challenge and prayed to Vishnu to keep him safe. When the fire started, everyone watched in amazement as Holika was burnt to death, while Prahlad survived without a scar to show for it. The burning of Holika is celebrated as Holi. According to some accounts, Holika begged Prahlad for forgiveness before her demise, and he decreed that she would be remembered every year at Holi.
An alternative account of the basis of the holiday is associated with a legend involving Lord Shiva, one of the major Hindu gods. Shiva is known for his meditative nature and his many hours spent in solitude and deep meditation. Madana, the God of love, decided to test his resolve and appeared to Shiva in the form of a beautiful nymph. But Shiva recognized Madana and became very angry. In a fit of rage he shot fire out of his third eye and reduced her to ashes. This is sometimes given as the basis of Holi’s bonfire
Holi is spread out over two days (it used to be five, and in some places it is longer). The entire holiday is associated with a loosening of social restrictions normally associated with caste, sex, status and age. Holi thus bridges social gaps and brings people together: employees and employers, men and women, rich and poor, young and old. Holi is also characterized by the loosening of social norms governing polite behavior and the resulting general atmosphere of licentious merrymaking and ribald language and behavior. A common saying heard during Holi is bura na mano, Holi hai (“don’t feel offended, it’s Holi”).
On the evening of the first day of Holi, a public bonfire is held, commemorating the burning of Holika. Traditionally, Hindu boys spend the weeks prior to Holi combing the neighborhood for any waste wood they can find for the bonfire. The fire is lit sometime between 10 PM and midnight (at the rising of the moon), not generally in an orderly fashion. Everyone gathers in the street for the event, and the air rings with shouts, catcalls, curses and general mayhem.
According to legend, the young Krishna complained to his mother Yashoda about why Radha was so fair and he so dark. Yashoda advised him to apply colour on Radha’s face and see how her complexion would change. The central ritual of Holi is the throwing and applying of colored water and powders on friends and family, which gives the holiday its common name “Festival of Colors.” This ritual is said to be based on the above story of Krishna and Radha as well as on Krishna’s playful splashing of the maids with water, but most of all it celebrates the coming of spring with all its beautiful colors and vibrant life. It is also associated with the enduring love between Lord Krishna (an incarnation of Vishnu) and Radha, and Krishna in general. Because of this associated with Krishna, Holi is extended over a longer period in Vrindavan and Mathura, two cities with which Krishna is closely affiliated.
Krishna’s followers everywhere find special meaning in the joyous festival, as general frivolity is considered to be in imitation of Krishna’s play with the gopis (wives and daughters of cowherds).
The celebration of Holi is replete with with stories of Krishna spraying colors on Radha and other Gopikas and smearing their faces with ‘Gulal’ suggesting that Holi is older than the birth of these deities.
In Bengal, Holi features the Dolayatra (Swing Festival), in which images of the gods are placed on specially decorated platforms and devotees take turns swinging them. In the meantime, women dance around and sing special songs as men spray colored water at them. Also, in Bengal and Orissa, Holi is also celebrated as the birthday of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the famous saint-poet.
One of the oldest festivals of India, there have been evidences which suggests that Holi was being celebrated here as a festival since several centuries before Christ..
The 16th century panel found in a temple at Hampi in Karnataka showcases beautiful sculptures of Holi in which a royal couple is shown being drenched by the surrounding maids who are sprinkling colored water on them by bamboo syringes known as ‘pichkaris’. There are other such paintings including the 16th century painting of Ahmednagar in Maharashtra depicting the theme of Vasanta Ragini or ‘Spring Music’ where the royal couple is depicted sitting on a grand swing while maidens play music and spray colors on them;
Whatever the history, Holi celebrates colour and dancing with gay abandon, Today, with the concerns of ecology, many people insist on natural colours, those that do not have any adverse effect on the environment. This actually was never an issue originally but was recently an issue due to the issue of chemical colours.
Today, celebrate the festival of colours with joy and let loose, wherever you may be.

भारतवर्ष का नाम कैसे पड़ा भारत
भारतवर्ष का नाम कैसे पड़ा भारत
भारतवर्ष का नामकरण कैसे हुआ इस संबंध में मतभेद हैं। भारतवर्ष में तीन भरत हुए एक भगवान ऋषभदेव के पुत्र, दूसरे राजा दशरथ के और तीसरे दुश्यंत- शकुंतला के पुत्र भरत।
भारत-1 : भारत नाम की उत्पति का संबंध प्राचीन भारत के चक्रवर्ती सम्राट राजा मनु के वंशज भगवान ऋषभदेव के पुत्र भरत से है। श्रीमद् भागवत एवं जैन ग्रंथों में उनके जीवन एवं अन्य जन्मों का वर्णन आता है।
ऋषभदेव स्वयंभू मनु से पांचवीं पीढ़ी में इस क्रम में हुए- स्वयंभू मनु, प्रियव्रत, अग्नीघ्र, नाभि और फिर ऋषभ। राजा और ऋषि ऋषभनाथ के दो पुत्र थे- भरत और बाहुबली।
बाहुबली को वैराग्य प्राप्त हुआ तो ऋषभ ने भरत को चक्रवर्ती सम्राट बनाया। भरत को वैराग्य हुआ तो वो अपने बड़े पुत्र को राजपाट सौंपकर जंगल चले गए।
भारत-2 : राम के छोटे भाई भरत राजा दशरथ के दूसरे पुत्र थे। उनकी माता कैकयी थी। उनके अन्य भाई थे लक्ष्मण और शत्रुघ्न। परंपरा के अनुसार राम को गद्दी पर विराजमान होना था लेकिन उन्हें 14 वर्ष का वनवास मिला। इस दौरान भरत ने राजगद्दी संभाली और उन्होंने राज्य का विस्तार किया। कहते हैं उन्हीं के कारण इस देश का नाम भारत पड़ा।
भरत-3 : पुरुवंश के राजा दुष्यंत और शकुंतला के पुत्र भरत की गणना 'महाभारत' में वर्णित सोलह सर्वश्रेष्ठ राजाओं में होती है। कालिदास कृत महान संस्कृत ग्रंथ 'अभिज्ञान शाकुंतलम' के एक वृत्तांत अनुसार राजा दुष्यंत और उनकी पत्नी शकुंतला के पुत्र भरत के नाम से भारतवर्ष का नामकरण हुआ।
मरुद्गणों की कृपा से ही भरत को भारद्वाज नामक पुत्र मिला। भारतद्वाज महान ऋषि थे। चक्रवर्ती राजा भरत के चरित का उल्लेख महाभारत के आदिपर्व में भी है।
हालांकि ज्यादातर विद्वान मानते हैं कि ऋषभनाथ के प्रतापी पुत्र भरत के नाम पर ही भारत का नामकरण हुआ।
