Bhagwat describes the elixir of all elixirs – The divine dance of Raas.



The word divine is important because it imparts character of eternal and infinite happiness to melodious music and rhythmic dancing. It looks similar to dances performed in this world but material pleasures lead to sufferings while divine pleasures will take you to more divine pleasures. Divine bliss is always unending.

The performance of this divine dance on this earth by Krishn and his associate maids kindles hope in every material heart that one day the soul could secure the same divine happiness of dancing with the soul’s only true beloved Krishn.

In this dance, every Gopi was so deeply immersed that each of them saw that Krishna was dancing with only her and with no one else.

On that night Krishna first played his divine flute to send invitation to all Gopis to forest where he was present. Soon after listening the music of Krishna's flute all Gopis hurried to makeup their faces, to wear beautiful dresses and ornaments.

While doing so, being absorbed in thoughts of Krishn, ornaments found wrong places . Earings in nose, necklace in wrists, collyriium dot on forehead and the like.
