Show Notes
What happens when an ancient devotional practice like Kirtan moves from intimate spaces to concert halls and huge audiences?
In this episode of For Soul’s Sake, Radhika Das, Stine, and Nama explore the balance between Kirtan, performance, devotion, and accessibility. Radhika reflects on his journey from small gatherings to thousands of people, and whether Kirtan can remain a sincere offering to Krishna while being shared on a larger scale.
They discuss the importance of intention, humility, music, and consciousness, the relationship between Kirtan and Japa, and what it means to enter a Kirtan space not simply to attend, but to serve.

What makes a relationship truly meaningful?Whether we’re single, dating, married, raising children or navigating friendships, relationships shape so much of our lives. But Bhakti offers a different perspective on love: rather than asking what can this relationship give me?, we can ask, how can we help one another grow closer to Krishna?In this episode, we explore love, marriage, family and parenting through the lens of Bhakti, drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. We reflect on shared spiritual purpose, selfless service, patience, forgiveness and the power of leading by example.Because when Krishna is at the centre, a relationship can become more than a partnership. It can become a pilgrimage.Produced by: Sunni Sharma and Viraj Limbachia Filmed by: Filmwork Studios Edited by: Hannah BrownWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasKomi: radhikadas.komi.io
