The ancient game of self-knowledge Leela. How and why should a modern person play it?

Hello, today I want to talk about the interesting Indian game Leela, which was played by the monks a couple of thousand years ago.

You are probably familiar with the children’s game Snake and Ladders. So these games came from Leela. In which there are the same snakes, and instead of stairs — arrows. The game is psychological, transformational. Its task is to work with a person’s worldview, it helps to understand oneself and find answers to any questions.

How it works?

The cells of the playing field are not just numbered, they have names and their own meanings. And the meanings themselves are not invented just like that. On the field are the qualities of a person from conditionally «bad» to «good». You yourself will understand everything.

Arrows — these are virtues, it turns out that if you hit the cell where the arrow begins, then you rise to where it leads. So in life, doing the same act in which the arrow begins, you will get where it leads. In the same quality, condition.

Fields don’t just matter. They also line up. Rows are tied to chakras and levels of spiritual development. Accordingly, the higher your character can rise, the higher you can develop yourself, subject to the same actions in life.

But our game is also with a set of natural stones!

In general, I consider it unnecessary to paint a lot, there is a lot of information on the Internet, YouTube. And if I’m interested, you can buy my version of the game with a hand-drawn design and author’s padded values.

Thank you!
