Lila (Hinduism)

Lila ( Sanskrit: लीला purple [li ː lɑ ː ] " game, amusement " ) is a term from Hinduism that describes a theological concept. Purple denotes the divine game in which the deity sees the creation as a game, thereby exhibiting radical freedom and spontaneity. The term comes from the Brahmasutra ( 2.1.33 ). Later, not only the divine creativity was seen as purple, but also other phenomena such as cosmic dance of Shiva and Kali's wildness. In Vaishnavism, the divine play of Lord Vishnu is referred to its Avatars like Rama and Krishna, which appear in the world, but this follows the Dharma. The Bhagavata Purana describes, for example, that blissful game and moral intents and purposes appear in Krishna's mischievous behavior.

In the popular theater forms ras purple and Ram lila the divine play of Krishna and Rama is represented.

In the Hindu religion, there are forms of meditation in which the meditator continually focuses on the divine play, not only to capture purple, but also to be part of the followers of the deity.

Purple is considered in a religious sense as a common game of the deity and the people, in which the divine bliss and grace shows, for a moment or to eternity.
