Holi – One of the divine festivals celebrated by Indians has its own authentic
values & scientific reasons of celebrations. The festival has its unique
way of benefiting humans spiritually as well as physically.
The festival originates millions of years
ago even before Lord Ram was born.
The history in scripts the story of Prahlada, known
for his great devotion to Bhagvan Narayan. Because of his ceaseless devotion itself, Prahlad was attacked by evil forces within his family many times . However, Bhagvan protected and removed the wicked shadows upon him
each time.
Holi is merely not just burning of woods, however meant to blaze one’s negative emotions i.e.
ego, greed, anger, desires & worldly attachments to annihilate in fire
& offer spiritually nourished mind and body. The festival gives a message that
we too should face the obstacles coming our way with determination &
whatever the odds against us may be, keeping Prahlad as our ideal, let us not
allow our faith in Bhagvan to dither.
During ancient times, Holi was celebrated with Palash
flowers and homemade colours (Turmeric Powder/Dried flowers/Henna /Red Sandal
Wood etc) having great effects on health. Palash flowers are one of them
& have number of well termed qualities.
- Taking 1-2 drops of palash gum increases strength of body and kills the backache problems.
- According to Jyotish science, Kalsarap yog which is termed as risky Kaala is removed by applying colors made by Palash flower.
- According to Ayurveda, when Pitta dosh in human body increase, person suffers from Heart attack & when Vayu dosh increases, other problems exist. Both of doshas can be removed using Palash colour.
Unfortunately, Later during British , Englishmen made a sharp business out of this one as well and sold harmful chemical colors which initiated terrible health problems .Hence, as decades passed by, Importance of
using Palash color's and homemade colors on Holi diminished.
Now, with the divine initiative of Pujya Sant Shri Asharam Bapuji
, people are aware with knowledge of its
rich culture. The great Spiritual Guru plays Holi with his devotees every year
using palash color's to bless devotees with good health.
