Festival of Love

Very few people would have heard this piece of mythology about Holi -

"Kamadeva is a god of love. Kama's body was destroyed when he shot his weapon at Shiva in order to disrupt his penance and help Parvati to marry Shiva. Shiva then opened his third eye, the gaze of which was so powerful that Kama's body was reduced to ashes. For the sake of Kama's wife Rati (passion), Shiva restored him, but only as a mental image, representing the true emotional and mental state of love rather than physical lust. The Holi bonfire is believed to be celebrated in commemoration of this event" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi

Interesting!! Isn't it? Kamdeva - the god of love being destroyed by Shiva - the supreme god, the god of bad things. Decision taken in a fury and puff!! there goes the god of love up in smoke. Then comes the best part, Kamdev was restored by Shiva but only as a mental image!!! First you break the heart and then present a collage of photographs of good times. True emotions over the physical lust. I don't blame the extremists for their opinion if their Gods were so hot headed.

Can mythologies be a reflection of coming future? Well it can be! Looking at the present circumstances it must be. Love to be destroyed by bad things. Love knows no boundaries. It knows only to love. Even so if it stands face to face with the devil. But will devil return the favor. No i suppose. Why should he, its not his nature. His nature is to destroy, let it be the one who loves him the most. Just imagine how this earth would be if everyone here would be a devil. I mean absolute lack of love. Non existence of parents, friends, soul mate. World driven by hunger, lust, power. Scary !

Why was man created when the two extremes already existed. God who represents all the good things in life and devil who represents all the bad things in life. Rather, allow me to change the wordings to avoid the good and bad debate. God representing an ideology and the devil the other extreme. I think this would be a sick experiment undertaken to decide the supreme among the two. Then life was formed and evolved from a single cell organism to human beings. In between dinosaurs, tigers, lions, elephants, birds, fishes etc etc were created. After human nothing else was created? nothing actually evolved? Human created and he only destroyed. Tallest of buildings and greatest of ships were created and destroyed. Why was it? How come the ever evolving nature stopped to evolve and humans took over the job. All the other species were consuming and not creating. So in itself we humans are the god and the devils. Are we? Or we are just the mixture of both.

Delhi 6 named the devil inside us as the kalabandar. Well a thought! What is our true nature ...... were we supposed to act in the kalabandar way or the opposite. What is our nature or do we have one ? Were we created for a reason or we just happened. God liked it and kept it as a showpiece. I believe all the answers are linked to the question. "What is our purpose?" Because if we have a purpose then there would be a nature to support it.

Too much of thoughts for one day. Well tomorrow is holi, a festival of colour. A grandeur exhibition of colors. Holi is also seen as the festival wherein people just laze around, play cheap pranks on girls and loose control. Be responsible and enjoy it. What the heck .... go wild !!!!!
