Description:
|
Vallabhacharya (1479-1531 CE), also known as Vallabha, was a devotional philosopher, who founded the Krishna-centered Pushti sect of Vaishnavism in the Braj region of India, and the philosophy of Shuddha advaita (Pure Nondualism). The concept of Lila is common to both non-dualist and dualist philosophical schools. Within non-dualism, Lila is a way of describing all reality, including the cosmos, as the outcome of creative play by the divine absolute (Brahman). The dāna-līlā is a dance of flirtation between Krishna and Radha (Krishha demands a toll from the gopika). (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
