What is RaasLeela?

Question

I was reading this question, and I read the accepted answer under this question.

The answerer used a word Raasleela , what actually is Raasleela? I have seen episodes and Programes . I think word Leela is creating some situation or a play. But what that RassLeela is? Does it mean sex? If yes , then why will God want to do it, if its not then what is it actually? and doing RaasLeela with more than one?

Raas is one type of garba or play we do in Gujarat in Navaratri festival. — prem30488, Sep 10 '15 at 09:42
It's not sex, It's a dance form played by lord Krishna with gopikas. It is very much similar to Dandiya Raas played in Navratri festival in many states of India. — Akshay Khale, Sep 12 '15 at 07:48

No. Raas Leela is not sex. Raas is one type of dance or act we play during Navratri festival. Boys and girls hold sticks called "Dandiya" in hands and play the dance. Raas Leela means play of dance with more than one. Actually in Raas the partner is changed during the dance play. So we play it with everybody.

This Raas Leela give pleasure to all of them who are playing and all of them who are watching it also. GOD wanted to do Raas Leela to win hearts of Gopis who were friends of GOD. This gives fun loving moments to all.
