As Mumbai gears up for a soulful evening of sacred chants and devotional rhythm, Radhika Das, one of the most recognised voices in the global bhakti movement, is set to perform live at NESCO on November 29. Known for his deeply immersive kirtan sessions that blend music, meditation, and mindfulness, Radhika has touched hearts across continents. In this candid conversation, he opens up about his journey from discovering kirtan to making it his life’s purpose, and why the new generation is turning towards spiritual soundscapes for peace and connection.

The turning point wasn’t dramatic, it was quiet. I walked into a kirtan one evening and felt something inside me soften and awaken at the same time. It felt like I’d finally come home to myself. Mainstream music excites the mind, but kirtan touched my soul. I realised that if music could heal me this deeply, then maybe it could heal others too. From that moment, choosing kirtan wasn’t a career decision, it was an inner calling, a commitment to service.
