Holi Myth based on Prahlada and Demon Holika
Young Prahlada was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu but this was detested by his arrogant father, Hirnakashyipu, who was the king of the land. The father constantly sought for ways to eliminate his son and each time he failed miserably. But this only hardened his stance.
Analytically speaking, all Hindu festivals are intended to keep the society divided so that it remains an easy for the Brahmanas to exploit all other castes in accordance with the rules of Manusmriti, which is the legal basis of Hindu varna system. The secret message of Holi festival is (1) that the young ones of the enemies ought to be caught early in life so that the start singing in praise of their enemies; (2) that they should be used to get the powerful members of the family through deceit with the help of masks in the guise of celebrations; (3) that Vibheeshans and Prahladas are used as role models for destroying their own families and powerful social groups. Hindu philosophy o is sought to be perpetrated with the help of craft and falsehood, but by paying lip sympathy to the truth. The ultimate objective thereof is to achieve selfish objectives of exploitation, oppression and suppression of the adversaries. The concealed objective of the victims is designed in such a manner that the every lower caste secretly tries to show itself to belong to some higher caste. Thus, every individual is made to fall into the trap of casteism and tends to lose sense of self respect. The festivals are Brahmanical traps for all the non-Brahmans to become easy prey for organised exploitation of all their adversaries. All festivals are shown to end in the organised murder of some of the chief adversaries of of Brahmanism, who are named Asuras. The Asuras are non-Suras or non-gods, who are distinguished from Bhu-Suras or the gods on earth, the Brahmanas. Dr. Dhani
