What is raas and its significance in modern society?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, raas is the cosmic dance—the joyous play of opposing energies (Purusha and Prakriti)—whose union births creation and whose separation ends it. Krishna’s raas with the gopis symbolizes this nonsexual, universal polarity in celebration. In modern society, raas invites us to harmonize differences, turn conflict into creative meeting, and rediscover embodied, pre-verbal communion—through dance, love, and awareness—so life becomes participation rather than opposition.
