Holi Festival
1:05 - 1:39 (34 min)

A discourse on the mythological story of Prahlāda and Narasiṁha, explaining the origins of the Holi festival.
"There is a God, whether one believes or one doesn't believe. God incarnates, and there are two kinds of God's presence."
"The story we are discussing is from several million years ago. Long ago, there was a king who went to the forest to perform austerities to realize God."
The speaker narrates the tale of the demon king Hiraṇyakaśipu, who obtained a powerful boon and declared himself the only god. His son, Prahlāda, remained a devoted devotee of Lord Viṣṇu despite the king's violent attempts to kill him. The story details Prahlāda's miraculous survivals and culminates in the appearance of the Narasiṁha Avatāra from a pillar to kill the king at twilight, fulfilling the conditions of the boon. The discourse connects this to the celebration of Holi, marking the burning of the king's sister, Holikā.

A teacher explains the foundational Mūlādhāra chakra as the root of energy and the seat of the dormant Kuṇḍalinī. He details the three primary nāḍīs (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā) and defines true haṭha yoga as the forceful application of willpower for spiritual union, distinct from common physical practice. Through stories—including an ant's perseverance and a Haṭha Yogī who renounces even Śiva's offer—he emphasizes themes of relentless practice, renunciation of desire, and the ultimate goal of awakening energy to unite with divine consciousness.
