Krishna's Holi
Holi is a very ancient festival,descriptions of Lord krishna's celebration of Holi comes in the scripture Srimad Bhagwad,Holi is a festival of colors,Lord Krishna played Holi with the milkmaids,in his youth.The tradition is carried on till today and people from all over India throng to witness the festivities in Brajabhoomi Mathura which is famous for its long time celebration.

The Pata painting depicts Lord Krishna overpowering the Kaliya, the serpent. There was a great lake near the river Yamuna. Here resided the black and venomous serpent Kaliya. Due to his poisonous vapors, the surrounding area was so contaminated that no living being would dare venture near the place. One day Krishnas fellow cowherds went near the lake and after drinking water fell sick. Krishna after learning this said: I shall vanquish this king of serpents and release the inhabitants of the country from their continual dread. Following a fierce battle, Krishna overpowered the serpents and following the prayers by the wives of the Kaliya, he pardoned Kaliya on the condition that Kaliya would leave the place forever. The manner in which Krishna subdues Kaliya has a fascinating quality about it. The dance to victory, the effortless rhythm of the Almighty's pace of creation and destruction, the ease, the grace, the sheer play in the manifestations of the Lord's will, to which wind and water provide enchanted accompaniment, are beautifully brought out in the narrative. Indeed, this is the first inkling in textual material of Krishna as natwar (the dancer).

Lord Krishna as a child itself showed his universal power such as overpowering the Kaliya snakes. The beautiful pata painting depicts some of the glorious moments from the life of this god, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. His dance with the gopis, Vishnu’s various incarnations, crossing the river Yamuna all are given a nice depiction with the use of some beautiful colour patterns and outlines.

DESCRIPTION:

"If ever we are to understand ourselves, says Krishnamurti, we must look at the state of the world, with all its violence and conflict. To turn away from world events is for him not to be alive to what life has to teach us. Facing a World in Crisis presents a selection of talks thatKrishnamurti gave on how to live and respond to troubling and uncertain times. His message of personal responsibility and the importance of connecting with the broader world is presented in a non-sectarian and non-political way. Direct and ultimately life-affirming, this book will resonate with readers today who are looking for a new way to understand and find hope in challenging times. Part One of the book consists of seven talks that Krishnamurti gave in Saanen, Switzerland, in 1972. Part Two contains, edited and slightly abridged, the last four talks and two question-and-answer sessions he held in England in 1985."
