RAMLILA

That will return people’s minds to thoughts of me; they will become my devotees. And on the day of Bharat milap, you will have a vision of me!

Bhagat hurried to Banaras and, with the help of some young boys, produced the leelas of Rama at Nati Imli. People who saw them praised him.

But while Bharat-milap was in progress. Bhagat was so overcome by excitement that he fell down dead. God had called him, as he had promised.

Ever since that time, Ramalila has become a popular festival.

To the common people, Ramalila brings entertainment, joy and also spiritual upliftment. It fosters love of God and man. It also keeps alive an awareness of our Dharma.
