Description | Raas is one of the most famous classical dances of India, known for its rhythm, grace and a poetic beauty of movements. The ‘Raas’ is a living tradition in Manipur. At the end of the lila, Krishna asks the gopis to return to their respective homes as dawn is approaching fast and they reply, ‘May we always be born again as gopis’. This is the true sentiment of the raas. It is reflected in the heart of every member of the audience, each of whom wants to be united with the divine spirit. This passion is based on ‘shringarbhakti’ or a devotion born of love for the Supreme. In it we find a simple and human approach in which desires, aspirations and feelings become a part of the love for God. |
