After receiving the grace of Shri Radharani and being blessed with her glimpse at Hita Raas Mandal or Old Raas Mandal in Vrindavan, Shri Dhruvdas Ji composed various pastimes of Shri Radha Krishn, compiled together with the text ‘Bayalees Leela’ which shows the divine path to several sincere devotees. The poetic leelas are written in Braj Bhasha. It is believed that he saw these pastimes Himself first and then He put them into poetic compositions. Writer: Shri Dhruvdas
