LONDON: UK Conservative MP Bob Blackman extended Holi wishes in the House while narrating the lore that goes behind the festival of colours.
The Padma awardee further jested, advising the first-timers to avoid going to the celebration wearing business outfits, as the colours do not come off later!
“Tomorrow is Holi, where Hindus throughout the world will celebrate the deliverance of Vishnu (actually Prahlad) from Holika. Where Holika was the evil witch who was consumed by fire,” he said yesterday.
His further comments evoked laughter from all listeners, as he advised them on clothing to be worn during the festival.
“Now for colleagues who are first time going to Holi festivals, I recommend you don’t wear business attire, because colours will be thrown, you’ll be coated in various different colours and I would advise you that you probably won’t be able to clean the clothes afterwards,” he said.
“Yesterday, I wished everyone celebrating a Happy Holi in the chamber! I also advised my fellow parliamentarians attending Holi festivals to not wear business attire to truly enjoy the festival of colours!”
Blackman also said that the festival celebrates the eternal love of Radha and Krishna and signifies the triumph of good over evil.
“Happy Holi to everyone celebrating in Harrow East and around the world! Holi, the Festival of Colours, celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha Krishna and signifies the triumph of good over evil! May this Festival of Colours bring joy and happiness in your life!”
According to Hindu mythology, Demon king Hiranyakashyapu, who was unhappy with his son Prahlad for his wholehearted devotion to the God Vishnu, ordered his sister Holika to kill Prahalad.
Following her brother’s instruction, Holika, who had a boon from the god that fire would not harm her, sat on fire with Prahlad on her lap but was burnt to death while Prahlad remained unhurt due to the blessing of God Vishnu.
