BRIJ PROGRAMMES

According to the Bhagavata Purana, Lord Sri Krishna along with the gopis had danced the rasa dance on the banks of the Yamuna in Vrindavan. When the gopis felt conceited about Lord Sri Krishna dancing with them, He disappeared from their midst. In the agony of separation from their beloved Lord Sri Krishna, the gopis recalled and enacted His lilas (divine pastimes of His life) which in course of time came to be known as the Rasalilas. The Rasalila in its present form is ascribed to Svami Haridas and Sri Narayan Bhatt. Only young Brahmin boys of 13 to 14 years of age can perform the Rasalila.
