Lilashrishti is a conceptual term of Hindu philosophy. In theological sense the word ‘lilasrsti or lila shrishti’ appeared in the 3 rd or the 4 th century BCE. In later Krishnaism the idea of lila is found in its theology, mythology, mysticism, and its conception of salvation. The advocates of lila argue that the creative process is real and that creation is not an obscuration but rather the manifestation of the nature of God. The Bhagavad Gita (3.21 – 25) maintains that God acts in order to assist devotees, to maintain righteousness, and to preserve the integrity of the world. According to Chaitanya, the sportive acts of God are expressions of the pleasures of a supreme being; yet his sportive and supportive acts are truly free. The amorous play of Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Radha Rani are described in Vidagdha Madhava (1532); Lalita Madhava (1546). As the devotee witnesses the sport of the divine couple Krishna and Radha, he experiences the rasa created by their eternal union (Ka...

Silence leads to speech. Contrary though it may seem, it is nevertheless true. A meditative silence leads to a profound expression. Such expression could be verbal or non-verbal. The thoughts of a person with a regulated mind speak without the medium of words. The very being of a person rooted in oneself will be an expression of the thoughts at the core of one’s mind. Cultivation of silence — not just by being silent outside, not by just refraining from speaking, but being silent at the mind and curbing the impressions of the mind from bubbling up, by stilling the mind — would enable one to generate powerful and pure thoughts and words. Association of ideas with words and the effect they produce on the listeners’ minds is something we see in our everyday lives. For instance, a person may utter the word ‘love’ with no genuine feeling associated with it and the listener does not feel anything but if a person utters the word ‘hate’ with nothing but love in mind the listener fees the ups...
