Join the Golden Drum and Radhika Das for a joyful afternoon of song and prayer. Kirtan is an ancient Hindustani practice, with roots in the Vedic anukirtana tradition. Kirtan is a call-and-response practice, set to music, wherein multiple singers recite or describe a legend, express loving devotion to a deity, or discuss spiritual ideas.
This event is open to all, with no prior experience required.
After the Kirtan we will be hosting a vegetarian potluck, bring a dish to share!
Suggested donation: $30
In 2007 Radhika Das first discovered the practice of Bhakti Yoga, the path of love and devotion. He decided to dedicate more time to absorb himself in the ancient practice of Kirtan and discovered the beauty of mantra. Radhika is committed to helping people, whether it be from an existing yoga or spiritual background or to those with limited or no exposure to the practices. His aim is to help you through accessible and relevant chants to feel more fulfilled, connected and joyful in the mind, body and soul. He has shared in a variety of spaces including major Yoga festivals: Wanderlust, World Yoga Festival and The British Museum.
"Every human being has a beautiful light within that is just waiting to shine, but our false ego can often block us from unlocking our full potential. As a Bhakti practitioner, I want to serve you to dive deep and explore, unleashing your true vibrancy and joy." Radhika Das also helps to run ‘Kirtan London’, a project which aims to make sacred mantra music accessible to a wider audience, including schools, mental health institutions and outdoor events.
