Ancient Wisdom, Modern Journey
Discover the deep spiritual foundations of the Game of Leela
Divine Play
Leela (Sanskrit: लीला) is the universal play of cosmic energy - divine play present in the nature of the Supreme Self. This playful nature creates the world of names and forms, the phenomenal world.
The essence of the player is their ability to become, to adopt a role. But once they enter the game, once they assume an identity, they often lose sight of their true nature.
Path to Self-Knowledge
The game serves as a microcosm of the larger journey of self-knowledge. Within its 72 squares lies the essence of thousands of years of self-exploration, the heart of Indian tradition.
As you move from space to space, patterns in your own existence emerge with ever-deepening clarity. Your sense of detachment grows as you see each state as temporary, something to move beyond.
The Sacred Board
The board represents the cosmic map of consciousness, with 72 squares arranged in 8 rows (representing the material world) and 9 columns (symbolizing spiritual completion).
The central column represents the chakra system, marking key transitions in spiritual awareness from the physical plane to cosmic consciousness.
Karmic Journey
Your moves are decided by the karma die, representing the forces of karma determining your life's path. The game mirrors the greater game of life itself.
Just as sunlight momentarily illuminates patterns in water, moments of clarity reveal the patterns in your life's journey.
