Burn ignorance in holika dahan by knowing SCIENCE OF HOLIKA DAHANA.
Holika Dahana – burning of Holika, the demoness (होलिकादहन), is associated with Nrisimha Avatara (नृसिंह अवतार). The story is that the Demon King Hiranya Kashipu (हिरण्यकशिपु) had a son named Prahlada (प्रह्लाद), who was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. The father tried to dissuade him, but failed. Once he called Holika (होलिका), a relative, who got a boon that she will not be burnt by fire, and told her to jump into fire with Prahlada in her lap. This way, Prahlada would get killed. But Prahlada prayed to Lord Vishnu and due to His blessings, Holika got killed in the fire, while Prahlada escaped unhurt. That day is celebrated by burning the effigy of Holika.
In the changing social scenario, some ignorant people equate it with burning of women and brand it as a cruel act. But the story is not real and depicts great science in a popular language for easy comprehension of laymen. Since it is related to Avatara (अवतार), it is necessary to know the science of Avatara also.
Transformation (परिणाम) can be of two types: evolution (विवर्त्त) and incarnation (अवतार). When something changes while retaining its own essential features and form, it is called evolution (विवर्त्त). When the transformation involves only a part and not the whole, and it is for a specific purpose, it is called incarnation – Avatara (अवतार). The word Avatara literally means “coming down (अव) as savior (तारक)”. When a cosmic catastrophe occurs (धर्मविप्लव – यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति), the Omnipresent Universal Controller intervenes (तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्) in that part (this is His coming down – paying special attention to a limited part) to bring order (परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्‌। धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय).
The fourth Nrisimha Avatara (नृसिंह अवतार) is related to formation of protons and neutrons. One basic principle enunciated by the Vedas is that we cannot describe massive objects completely (अनवर्णे इमे भूमी). This is because we “see” massive objects when their radiation reaches our eyes. Except or without the radiation, we cannot see the object. But when we touch it, we cut out the radiation and touch the body that emits radiation. Thus, what we see (the radiation) is not what we touch (mass). Either way, we cannot define the object properly.
Initially, the radiating galaxies and their central black holes were created. We could not see the black hole, which provided mass to the structure. We could only see the galaxies, which are shining very brightly, making it difficult to observe (दुर्निरीक्षाय ते नमः). The central black hole sitting on the lap of the galaxy is called Hiranya Kashipu because it tried to controll the outward motion of the radiation of the galaxy by its pressure of collapsing inwards (हर्यँ गतिका॒न्त्योः + कन्यन् = हिरण्यम्, कशँ॒ गतिशास॒नयोः॑। स तु कश्यपस्य दित्यां पत्न्यां जातः। तस्य भार्या कयाधुः। को वायुः। स एव आवृतेन धृता।). However, the galaxy churned its inside out (macro equivalent of proton-nuclear conversion) to shine brightly (नमो नृसिंहरूपाय दैत्योरःस्थल दारिणे। कोटिसूर्य प्रभायास्मै दुर्निरीक्षाय ते नमः।). The Avatara is called Nrisimha because of its tendency of getting the desired effect through churning inside out (नॄ न॒ये + हिसिँ हिं॒साया॑म्).In this process, extensions of the radiating arms came out, which are called its off-spring (सन्तान), because it is similar to the mother structure (अवयव-अवयवी प्रवाह). When such arms are symmetrical like in spiral galaxies, it looks very pleasant. Milky Way galaxy has four such arms. These are called Samhrada, Anuhlada, Hlada and Prahlada (संह्रादः, अनुह्लादः, ह्लादः, प्रह्लादः) respectively. Of these, the interior one is called Prahlada. Since it is nearer to the central black hole, there is exchange of force between it and the magnetic field of the black hole. The magnetic field is called Hola (होला) or Holika (होलिका) because it changes polarity from time to time (हु॒ दानाद॒नयोः॑). Since the interior arm survives the interaction with the black hole through the magnetic field (अर्द्धपक्वेः च होलकः), it is described as Prahlada getting unburnt by Hola, who herself gets damaged. Since this process is repeating everywhere from the universe to a pole (आब्रह्मस्तम्भपर्यन्त), it is said that Nrisimha appeared from a pillar (स्तम्भ). Since there is no concept of day or night there, it is said that the time was evening, which is neither day nor night. There are eight gluons. These are called Vasu in our scriptures (अग्निश्च जातवेदाश्च। सहोजा अजिराप्रभुः। वैश्वानरो नर्यापाश्च। पङ्क्तिराधाश्च सप्तमः। विसर्पेऽवाष्टमोऽग्निनाम्। एतेऽष्टौ वसवः क्षिता इति). The quarks are confined by these eight gluons in eight different ways. These are called सम्पात, विप्रपात, महापात, निपातन, बक्र, तीर्यक्, ऊर्द्ध्व, लघु. Since these are the characteristics of Anushtup (अनुष्टुप्), it is said to represent Nrisimha. Why holika dahan on before full moon day of chaitra Or spring
