Radhika Das

Radhika Das is a London-based mantra artist, kirtan leader and bhakti yoga teacher. His website describes sixteen years of bhakti practice behind his work, which he shares with students around the world through mantra chanting, meditation and teachings from the Bhagavad Gita.

In his own words, he was fascinated by the power of sound from an early age: how a single melody could shift a mood, calm a restless mind or bring people together. That fascination led him to mantra meditation, where, as he puts it, sacred sound becomes a doorway to connection, healing and joy. He describes mantras as gifts of love that carry peace and presence wherever they are sung or spoken.

What began as small gatherings has grown into mantra meditation nights in London, New York, Mumbai and beyond. He leads them with a band of musicians, and he says thousands of people from all walks of life have come together through chanting, singing and dancing. Live kirtan and mantra meditation are hosted at venues, festivals and studios in a call-and-response format.

His work reaches beyond the stage. He leads retreats and pilgrimages, including Vrindavan and the Govardhan Eco Village in India and a Bhakti retreat in Tuscany, Italy. These blend kirtan, yoga asana and Bhagavad Gita study. He is the author of Mantra Meditation and offers workshops, a 100-Hour Kirtan Training, SoulWise mentorship and online Bhakti Groups. He also hosts the podcast For Souls' Sake, which features conversations on mantra, bhakti yoga and wellbeing.

As a bhakti practitioner, he says he wants to help people explore deeply and find the light within them. His aim is to create spaces where people can find shelter in sound.
