Meaning in this text
The playful, joyful divine activity of God — the acts of creation, preservation, and dissolution performed not out of necessity but as divine sport. Krishna's childhood pastimes in Vrindavan (the Bala Lila) are the most celebrated lilas in all of Vaishnava literature.
On this site, Lila is treated as a reading aid rather than a final doctrinal definition: use it to move from a question about a term into the chapters where the term actually appears.
