During
Krishna Week, Osho World Celebrates "LEELA….JUST A PLAY!”
New
Delhi
“Our To mark the birth of Lord Krishna, Osho World celebrated Krishna Week in New Delhi from 16 to 22 August 2003. The event was inaugurated by renowned Kathak dancer Pandit Birju Maharaj on 16 August 2003 at Osho World Galleria, Ansal Plaza, New Delhi.
Osho's discourses on Lord Krishna and the Bhagwad Geeta was highlighted with his books and audios during the week. Daily meditations with Osho discourses on Lord Krishna was held at 6.00 p.m. at the Galleria. 
The new Indipop sensation, Pallavi Laxman sang devotional songs in praise of Lord Krishna with suitable vivacity and élan. It's no surprise really because she combines talent, looks and brains. She always wanted to make a special impression in the hearts of music lovers and her debut album 'Tum Paas Aao' did just that. She started training in classical music since she was eight years old under Pandit Gurinder Harnam Singh. Her multi-faceted talent is obvious in her debut album in which she renders romantic, folk
and dance numbers with equal ease. Thus she brought a bubbling verve and joy to her 'bhajans' in praise of Lord Krishna to epitomize his playfulness or 'Leela'.
Osho says, "Leela, Leela.. Life Is Just A Play! If you dance the whole existence becomes a dance. It is already a dance. Hindus say it is a RAS-LEELA, God is dancing, and around God the stars and the moon and the sun and the earths and the whole existence. The whole existence is dancing around God. God is Krishna and the whole existence is his GOPIS, his girlfriends. This is the RAS that is continuously going on, but you will know it only when you learn the ways of dance, the language of ecstasy."
Osho's vision of New Man incorporates Krishna's playfulness known as Raas Leela and living life totally without escaping from formidable situations.
Osho says Krishna is the rock steady centre of Mahabharata's cyclone.
