Līlā (Sanskrit: लीला,
IAST: līlā, also known as Leela) is an
ancient board game designed for self-discovery and self-knowledge. The game is rooted in the Hindu concept of the Game of Life, Great Game or Divine Play, which perceives life as a game and individuals as players.
From a psychological perspective, the Līlā game serves as a
tool of introspection and self-reflection. Operating through resonance with the unconscious, it allows individuals to delve deeper into themselves and become aware of internal states, beliefs, and limiting programs. By playing Līlā, participants observe their lives from a distance, identifying obstacles in their path and uncovering resources to overcome them. The game reveals the participant's strengths and weaknesses, contributing to a
fresh understanding of their personality, finding solutions to internal problems and conflicts, and unlocking their potential.
Līlā is a powerful tool for spiritual growth. Indian yogis say that playing Līlā is a conversation with your Spirit. This is an active way to look into your own eyes, a technique for transmitting the knowledge of the soul to a chaotic and restless mind. The gameplay purifies the mind and harmonizes the emotional sphere. Individuals begin to understand themselves better, hear their intuition, and trust the Universe.
