Holi & Bhang : The Spiritual Connection

Associated with Lord Shiva, bhang is now synonymous with holi. Bhang was first used as an intoxicant in India around 1000 BC. Lord Shiva is believed to have discovered the transcendental properties of the cannabis. In the ancient text Artharva Veda, Bhang is described as a beneficial herb that "releases anxiety". Sadhus and Sufis use bhang to boost meditation and as an aid to spiritual ecstasy. Made by grinding the leaves and buds of cannabis - the very intoxicating bhang helps to escalate the spirit of holi. Using mortar and pestle, the buds and leaves of cannabis are ground into a paste. To this mixture, milk, ghee and spices are added. The bhang base is now ready to be made into a heavy drink, thandai. Bhang is also mixed with ghee and sugar to make a purple halwa, and into peppery, chewy little balls called 'golee'. IndiapostLive wishes you all a Happy and Safe Holi!
