In modern times, Rasa lila has become a popular theme in Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Manipuri and Kuchipudi items. Ras lila is a popular form of folk theatre in the regions of Mathura, Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh, especially during the festivals of Krishna Janmashtami and Holi, and amongst various followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the region. Raas leela(Rasa lila) is also observed as one of the National Festivals of Assam. During Raas lila, several thousand devotees visit the holy temples and Xatras of Assam every year. What Is Raas Lila राधे-कृष्णा Raas is divine pleasure and Lila (as per Sanskrit) is play or sport. According to Vaishnavas, Lila means activities of God and Devotees. According to Shrimad Bhagwat Puran, Maha Raas was performed by Lord Krishna for his devotees when he was just six years old kid. Lord Krishna performed Raas Lila. According to Shrimad Bhagwat Puran, Lila means Lord Krishna’s playful dance with his devotees (gopis). Gopis were same saints and sages who performed Tapasya* for Yugas** to become devotee of Lord Krishna in their Dwaparyuga reincarnation. These were saints and sages who met Lord Rama in his exile(when he had to undergo 14 years Sanyasa*** Dharm to fulfill his father’s wishes). Lord Rama interacted with many sages in his way to Sri Lanka, He was unable to spend ample time with them. Most of them got saddened. Then all these sages requested Lord Rama (Lord Vishnu) to being reborn as Gopis in their next birth to become devotees of Lord Krishna. These Gopis dance with joy when they see playful Lord Krishna, a divine kid of six year old and dance with him as today’s material world mother would rejoice to see his baby playing. Such is the purity of Raas. And this expression of love from devotee towards his God, Lord Krishna, is Raas Lila according to Shrimad Bhagwat Puran. To simplify it more, lets take example of today’s scenario, imagine feeling of a mother, who sees her son after two decades, when he returns back from the foreign country. This pure and blissful pleasure felt by mother is actually Raas. The happiness in her mind, tears in her eyes, childish joyfulness in her behavior is nothing but 0.000001% of actual divine pleasure (Raas) which devotee gets when he/she meets Lord Krishna or feels him. Remember as per Shrimad Bhagwat Puran, Raas Lila is unison of God with his devotee. It has got NOTHING TO DO WITH male-female material enjoyment – as falsely claimed by various west historians. Raas is as pure as eternal love of Param Bhakt Meera Bai towards Lord Krishna, Krishna was her Aatma Pati. Here Pati means protector, giver and caretaker. This soul emerged from Shri Krishna only to merge into him. It is similar to using terms like Adhipati, Rashtrapati – A foolish translation into simple english would convey that Rashtrapati (President) is husband of all but it is not so because Pati means caretaker and not the one conveyed by rubbish translations of concocted western historians. Lord Krishna is supreme follower of celibacy, self-less bhakti and expects the same from his devotees after they complete their grihasth ashram (married life). Lord Krishna only embraces things which are pure and maintain celibacy. This fact you might not know but Why Krishna decorates his mukut with Mor Pankh (peacock feather) because peacock is the only animal in this world which practices celibacy. They never indulge in physical relationship to give birth. Peahen sip tears from the eyes of dancing peacock and then gives birth to their pea-chickens. Lord Krishna therefore wears Mor Pankh in his mukut. Soul is pure and that’s why merging soul to Lord Krishna is easy path to attain moksha. krishna-mor-pankh Peahen Sips Tear Drops To Give Birth Next time, lets not sing or dance to the tunes of songs depicting Raas Lila as lustful romance. Instead, we should register our anger and get united to protest. Translations by britishers and mughal courtiers of major Vedic texts and puranas painted wrong images of Hindu gods especially Lord Krishna, depicting him as playboy. The lie-mongers went to such an extreme step that few english writers conveyed Raas=Lustful romance, no guesses to know that the level of intelligence they applied was what they got in their linear and tainted legacy. One should know that Vedic texts are actually heritage of Mankind before maligning it, the world population should be thankful to Hindus that they are protecting this world heritage in the name of oldest religion, Hinduism.
