Summary
DescriptionHolika Dahan Illuminates the Night Sky - Embers of Triumph.jpg |
English: Holika Dahan,
is a Hindu festival. It marks the beginning of Holi celebrations. On this day, big bonfires are lit. This reminds us of good winning over evil. Long ago, there lived a demonic king named Hiranyakashipu. His sister Holika had a magic cloak that saved her from fire. Hiranyakashipu asked her to enter a blazing fire with his son Prahlad. Prahlad’s faith in Lord Vishnu saved him while Holika burned to death. Lighting bonfires and offering prayers on Holika Dahan symbolizes the burning of evil within us. The construction of Radha Krishna temple has started again. Help us to build Radha Krishna temple. Donate cement and Radha Naam Bricks and receive immense blessings from Shri Radha Krishna,He who builds or helps in building a temple will save his father, grandfather and the eight tirthas of his ancestors from going to hell. Long ago, festivals had a deeper meaning beyond just fun and celebrations. They were meant to bring people closer to God and the divine. The festival of Holi, celebrated on the last day of the bright fortnight in the month of Phalgun, gives us a great chance to regain what we have lost for so long.
