Radhika Das | Mantra Meditation | London
Radhika Das and friends are devoted to serving humanity through the uplifting power of kirtan. Beyond the joy of chanting together, their heartfelt mission is to extend that spirit of compassion into tangible service. With gratitude, they offer a portion of the proceeds from kirtan gatherings across the world to support meaningful charities and projects that bring light, relief, and hope to those in need.
Below you can explore some of the initiatives that your participation helps to nurture; Each one an expression of love in action, inspired by the Bhakti principle of serving the Divine by serving all living beings (jiva doya).
As part of our annual Vrindavan Pilgrimage, we feel it is important not only to receive blessings from these sacred places but also to give back in gratitude. Many of the temples we visit are centuries old, lovingly maintained by dedicated sevaks who preserve the tradition of worship and care for the pilgrims who come seeking spiritual nourishment.
Through the support of our community and the proceeds of kirtan gatherings, we contribute towards the upkeep and service of these temples: helping with daily offerings, restoration, and the welfare of the resident devotees who dedicate their lives to serving the Lord. In this way, our pilgrimage becomes a full circle of devotion: receiving mercy, chanting in glorification, and offering back in service.
On this journey, I have been blessed to learn from exalted teachers who embody the spirit of devotion and selfless service. Their wisdom, love, and example continue to shape my heart and practice. I remain deeply grateful to them for showing me the way of bhakti and for nurturing my desire to share it with others.
Gifted to the Hare Krishna community by George Harrison of The Beatles, Bhaktivedanta Manor has become a vibrant spiritual home for thousands of seekers in the UK. It is a place of worship, education, and community service, where the timeless wisdom of Krishna Bhakti is shared freely with all.
One of its most cherished projects is the Ahimsa Cow Sanctuary, where cows and bulls are cared for with love and respect, never slaughtered, and allowed to live out their full lives peacefully. Supporting the Manor means supporting this beautiful vision of compassion: where animals, land, and people live harmoniously in service to Krishna.
This is a beautiful initiative dedicated to preserving and serving the sacred land of Vrindavan. Alongside guiding pilgrims with heartfelt care, all profits and donations go directly into seva projects such as caring for cows and animals, re-greening Vrindavan, supporting widows and children, and offering free medical and dental care. By supporting Love Braj, we help protect the land of Krishna and uplift those who call it home.
The Recovery Annex is a not-for-profit Bhakti-inspired recovery program aimed at supporting anyone in their recovery (from addiction) journey. The program utilises the ancient practices of Bhakti, a unique 12-step program, and a conscious lifestyle of goodness. The organisation is also part of the Journey Within Foundation that provides free support for people who need recovery help.
Since 2021, Radhika Das has been involved in helping various recovery groups, by sharing mantra as a method to connect with steps 3 through to 11 in the 12-step programme. As a teacher and practitioner of Bhakti yoga, Radhika Das serves as an ambassador for The Recovery Annex, providing spiritual insight and sharing the methods of Bhakti to assist those in need of recovery help.
Radhika Das hosts his weekly Friday night Kirtans upstairs at OMNOM, a not-for-profit restaurant.
OMNOM presents a unique collaboration for wellness, encapsulating a modern-day approach to eating and wellbeing whilst building a community of change which appeals to everyone.
Compassion and kindness are the key values that drive the project. The gesture is simple yet powerful – when you eat at OMNOM, someone else eats too. For every meal served or for every yoga class attended, OMNOM will feed a child a hot, healthy, nutritionally balanced meal in the developing world providing relief from poverty.
Food For Life Vrindavan was formed 30 years ago with the primary objective of educating young girls.
In India, especially in rural areas, girls are considered a liability. A girl’s education is not a priority. As soon as she reaches puberty, the parents will marry the young girl without her consent in an arranged marriage.
The primary aims and objectives of FFLV are to educate girls in Vrindavan, empowering them to transform their lives and take their families out of the vicious cycle of poverty.
All proceeds from select merchandise sales are donated to FFLV to support the amazing work they are doing.
Save the Children exists to help every child reach their full potential. In more than 100 countries including the UK, the charity helps children stay safe, healthy and keep learning. They lead the way on tackling big problems like pneumonia, hunger and protecting children in war, while making sure each child’s unique needs are cared for.
In July 2020, Radhika Das hosted an event called “Chant for Love and Peace” which raised over $10,000 for Save the Children.
