Lot Essay

The Rasalila is the dance of love between Krishna and the gopis, in which Krishna uses his heavenly powers to multiply himself so that, though they link arms and dance in a circle, each gopi feels that she alone is the focus of his attention, thus fulfilling the bhakti each maiden feels for Krishna.
