al145 its a long story

al145 I think the myth has something to do with the Hindu god Krishna being ashamed, embarrassed, and outcasted for his blue skin. But then a love interest colored herself with a similar substance of that colorful powder to be like him so he doesn't feel bad or left out.

Funny explanation of Holi: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5mmYZKtrahmZ6s

[@dskhan8447]

what is the purpose of this holly .

[@shivamshukla6359]

what is the purpose of any festival?

[@dskhan8447]

You should know . If you celebrate . I don't know . What bother you . I did not mean to hurt someone feeling .

[@shivamshukla6359]

Legend is that it is celebrated for the burning of Holika who was trying to kill her nephew, a believer, Prahlad. So a symbolic Holika is burned in the night, and the next day colours are played. However like almost all religions, playing colours could be older than the religious legend itself. Playing colours is symbolic more for coming of summers and a rich potential harvest.

[@patricksowders7989]

Well at least no one pooping on the ground

[@forgetfulpriestiv14]

Something tells me that having fine particles of pigment throw into the air in people's faces isn't good for your lungs or health. It looks beautiful but I don't get the feeling that it doesn't have it's problems. You very well could end up with sevre breathing problems like COPD, bronchitis or pneumonia

Its an day celebration in year 🤦‍♀ This is nothing infront of contaminated air we breath on daily bases

So biggest question I have is, why you guys always drag a poor Cow in such videos? 🤣🤣 its the most weirdest thing I sees on You Tube video. We respect such animals doesn’t mean you have to drag cows in the video🤣🤣🤣. The most idiotic thing people include in videos 😂🤣. How about if we starting to add dogs and cats in every video then?

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7) When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mark 2:17)
