Acharya Prashant addresses a question about the appropriate way to celebrate the festival of Holi, given the prevalent hooliganism. He advises against sitting in solitude, calling it an inauspicious and impractical idea. Instead, since the influence of Holi on the mind is inevitable, one should strive to make it a positive one. This can be achieved by celebrating Holi in a better and higher manner, remembering the deep, meaningful message behind the festival. He suggests that just as someone started the practice of throwing eggs, one can initiate new, creative, and positive traditions. Even if only a few people adopt it initially, it is a worthwhile effort. The speaker delves into the symbolism of Holi, referencing the story of Hiranyakashipu's ego. Hiranyakashipu, after intense devotion, received a boon from Shri Vishnu but, driven by his ego, used that very power against Vishnu. This story serves as a powerful symbol for the human tendency to use gifts from the divine against the divine itself. He then explains the story of Holika, who had a boon to be immune to fire. When she sat in the fire with Prahlad, she was burnt to ashes while Prahlad remained unharmed. This illustrates that when powers and abilities are misused, they turn back and consume the user. This is the meaning of Holika Dahan. Acharya Prashant criticizes the modern way of celebrating Holi, such as burning wood at intersections, which damages public property and causes pollution. He argues that such acts are not religious. He strongly condemns the hooliganism, like throwing water balloons at girls, stating that these actions defame religion. This behavior provides ammunition to those who call religion a nuisance or for the foolish. He points out that religion, particularly Sanatana and Vedic Dharma, is under attack, and thus, religious people have a heightened responsibility to be ideal role models. Holi should be celebrated so beautifully and meaningfully that even critics of religion are drawn to it. He laments that the saffron color, once a beautiful symbol, is now associated with negativity due to the actions of some. He urges for the restoration of its prestige. If one truly loves Dharma, they must be vigilant that their conduct does not bring it into disrepute.
