LEELA
isn't just a game
ABOUT THE GAME
"Leela is when there is no desire to win and no fear of losing, but only enjoyment of life”
Words of Krishna from Mahabharata
The game Leela is a transformational game of self-cognition, a unique tool for the diagnostics and correction of your life path, the great journey of a return to your true desires and goals. Everybody determines the goal of the game on their own, as well as the result they want to get. The main thing you need to do is to form your request and be ready to accept the answer.
Leela is considered one of the most interesting and unusual energy practices, primarily due to the fact that it is presented in the form of a board game - with a playing field, dice that determine the number of moves, as well as playing chips. When playing Leela, you won't be required to think ahead, beat your opponents, or keep score. Leela is the very case when it is not victory that is important, but participation, and your goal will not be to reach the finish line first, but to experience a spiritual transformation.
Leela is translated from Sanskrit as "Game". Leela teaches us to perceive life as a game - to accept every moment with an open heart. It helps us plumb the depths of wisdom to answer all sorts of questions.
Leela philosophy is the quintessence of Vedic knowledge. Ancient yogis, having explored the labyrinth of the human mind, identified 72 initial states of being and consciousness, and these states correspond to 72 cells of the game Lila.
The game Leela is a tool of self-knowledge that allows you to "check the path" and, if necessary, correct the direction of movement. Lila is one of the systems of self-knowledge, a way of understanding life and the laws of the Universe.
The game ends only when the player fully understands the essence of karmic forces and achieves Cosmic Consciousness
HISTORY
“Leela” comes from India, and researchers suggest that it is more than 2 thousand years old. Translated from Sanskrit, “Lila” just means “game,” although it was not created for entertainment, but rather for self-knowledge, immersion in the inner world and subconscious of a person.
At the dawn of time, Sri Krishna revealed Lila - the game of life - to the great warrior Arjuna.
Leela is a compass on the path of self-knowledge and movement from man to God.
Time passed. People and events changed. Left behind is the Mahabharata - the great war for Dharma (Truth), which opened the dark age of Kali (Kali Yuga), in which everything white began to be called black, and everything black - white.
lThe secret of the Divine game of Lila, drawn by Sri Krishna on the sand, told to Arjuna and dispelled in Eternity, was collected bit by bit and restored according to the rules and canons of numerology, astrology, Ayurveda and other Vedic knowledge by a unique scientist, philosopher, astrologer, sculptor, expert in the Vedas and Scriptures, by poet and musician Harish Johari.
The type of game that is known and used today is entirely the merit of this Indian sage of our time.
The games of the Gods are endless and incomprehensible. It is impossible to understand Krishna's Lila with the human mind. Lila Johari is only a reflection of Infinite Consciousness in the mirror of the human mind.
HISTORY
Leela is an ancient Hindu game, more than a game a spiritual tool disguised as a game, a mirror to know and recognize ourselves and the patterns of behaviour (repeated, compulsive, unconscious, problematic, harmful) that condition our lives and our relationships, generating unnecessary suffering and diverting our psycho-spiritual energy from the final goal of the Journey: the consciousness of the unity of all things.
Hindus refer to the cosmic process as Leela, play or divine work.
Leela is an esoteric tool in the form of a game that the Rishis of the Vedic era conceived and used to convey their teachings.
The scientific spirit of these saviours turned inward to investigate the complexity of the human soul. Exploring the labyrinth of being, yogis discovered seventy-two primary states, represented precisely by the squares of the Leela game.
We could define this game as a map that shows the geography of the human soul, a sort of periodic table of consciousness.
The rules of the Game
“Lila” is a game of life itself, so you won’t be able to rely on blind luck. So, you will not be able to make the first move until the number six falls on the die, and this will not happen until you deal with your internal request. The playing field consists of several levels, where each field is endowed with its own nature - a certain area of your life that you have to deal with. Moreover, for each person the interpretation of the field will be unique and depends on his internal request.
For example, if your goal is to find love, then during the game you will have the chance to find out that loneliness can be born from internal prohibitions on happiness and negative attitudes, and they, in turn, are a consequence of childhood trauma and poor relationships with parents. “Lila” players dive into the very depths of their subconscious, face fears they didn’t suspect, learn the origins of their self-doubt and bad relationships with partners.
Another rule of the game is that “Lila” will not let you go through all the cells until you understand yourself. It is impossible to cheat the game, and if you are not sincere with yourself, you will go through the same sectors over and over again until the answer is found.
To get the most out of the game, it is good to record the path along which the player's chosen symbol moves. By comparing similar records, the player may discover some similarities between snakes that come across the path again and again, or arrows that come to the rescue in time. This helps the player find connections between internal and external and understand his inner world. Many saints have used this method to understand their inner structure. This is what makes Leela a game of self-discovery - Jnana Chaupada.
The request for the Game
Finally, the most important thing, without which the game will not start, is your sincere request or desire. Don't worry, you don't need to know how to formulate queries or goals to do this. Your desire can be anything - material or spiritual; from the sphere of career, personal life, education, travel; specific or, conversely, vague. The most interesting thing is that during the game you can not only adjust or better formulate your request, but also deepen it or, on the contrary, understand that this is not what you really need.
Lila players can pursue different goals: to better understand their desires, get a hint from the Universe, find out what they lack to make their dreams come true, find harmony and inner balance. And some people start playing just out of curiosity. In any case, having entered the game of your own free will, you cannot simply interrupt it: you must definitely reach the end.
