4-3 EXTRA CREDIT HOLI? LBJ lawn 1-4 http://texashsa.wix.com/longhornhsa#!holi/c1woEXTRA CREDIT: HOLI: 
8 pts. for proof of attendance, up to 27 more for an extra credit blogOne version of Holi comes from Braj: where the Hindu deity Krishna grew up. There, the festival is celebrated for sixteen days in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna. The festivities officially usher in spring, with Holi celebrated as a festival of love. There is a symbolic myth behind commemorating Krishna as well. As a baby, Krishna developed his characteristic dark blue skin colour because the she-demon Putana poisoned him with her breast milk.In his youth, Krishna despaired whether the fair-skinned Radha and other girls would like him because of his skin colour. His mother, tired of the desperation, asks him to approach Radha and colour her face in any colour he wanted. This he does, and Radha and Krishna became a couple. Ever since, the playful colouring of Radha's face has been commemorated as Holi." (Wikipedia) Relevance to our course: "Cows and Krishna have always been together. In His original form, Krishna is a cowherd boy in the agricultural community of Goloka ("cow planet" or Vindavan), where He keeps unlimited, transcendental, surabhi cows. When He descends to earth, Krishna brings a replica of Vrindavan with Him, and He spends His childhood tending cows and calves while playing in the pasturing grounds with His friends. His example shows the importance of cows to human society, the practical benefits of caring for them, and the advantages of an agrarian economy based on cooperation between man and cows. Krishna established the original economic system for the spiritual and material progress of all living beings. Protected cows are a major component of this system; bulls and oxen till the fields, and cows give milk. Cows are are considered one of the mothers of humankind because cow's milk—when properly prepared—is perfectly suited to maintaining human life. Milk can be made into a wide variety of preparations, such as yogurt and butter, which are also essential ingredients for use in the ceremonial worship of Krishna in His transcendental form.In His famous book of instructions for humankind, the Gita, Krishna mentions cow protection as one of the prime duties of any civilized society."[krishna.com]
