Radhika Das brings the sound of kirtan to Munich
At a time when the need for inner peace and spiritual fulfillment is growing, Radhika Das has created a special niche. The kirtan artist and bhakti yoga teacher, born and raised in London, has dedicated himself to touching people worldwide through his music and spiritual practice. With his warm voice and charismatic presence, he brings together people from all backgrounds, from spiritual seekers and yoga enthusiasts to businesses and students. Over the last 16 years, Radhika Das has
built up a network that extends far beyond the borders of London. His kirtan, a millennia-old practice of musical meditation, has been performed in more than 30 cities worldwide. Be it in the venerable British Museum, the Union Chapel in London or during his regular Friday sessions at OmNom in Islington - Radhika knows how to create an atmosphere of community that touches hearts. He also has a regular audience in New York, and at his annual retreats in India, Italy and Belgium, he invites people to delve deeper into the Bhakti tradition.
His approach to kirtan is deeply rooted in the bhakti yoga tradition, which focuses on devotion to the divine. But in Radhika's eyes, it's less about the religion itself and more about the emotions and sense of connection that arise: "Kirtan is not about how you sound, but how you feel. Let your heart sing and the rest will follow." This openness is also reflected in the accessibility of kirtan. The practice consists of a musical call-and-response game that even beginners can learn within a few minutes. You don't need any musical talent or special knowledge - an open heart and a willingness to get involved are all you need.
Kirtan, says Radhika, is a gift to the divine, an expression of love and gratitude. It is about losing yourself in music, song and meditation and leaving everyday life behind for a moment. "These mantras have the power to transport us to a divine realm where every step is a dance and every word is a song!"
On May 15, 2025, Radhika Das will perform in Munich and immerse his audience in the transformative power of bhakti music - an invitation to let go of everyday life and be touched by the spiritual depth of kirtan.
