KATHMANDU Renowned kirtan artiste Radhika Das will perform live in Nepal on March 27 at the historic Patan Museum, in what is expected to be an evening focussed on immersive mantra, meditation and devotional music. According to a press release issued about the event, 'Radhika Das Live in Nepal' hopes to create a powerful collective experience where music becomes a medium for reflection, peace and spiritual upliftment. 'Our hope is that anyone who attends leaves feeling transported into a blissful and mindful state,' the release quoted Rehan Shrestha, one of the organisers of the event, as saying. He was further quoted as adding, 'Through mantra and meditation, we want people to feel connected to a deeper sense of divine energy and truly immerse themselves in the magic of kirtan.' The event is being hosted by Shrestha and Esparsh Sarawagi, and they aim to introduce Nepali audiences to the growing global movement centred around spiritual music experiences. 'Being someone who is deeply spiritual, I felt there was a lack of musical experiences in Nepal that could truly transport people into a blissful and mindful state,' Shrestha further mentioned, as per the release. He added while Nepal's music scene is largely shaped by concerts and DJ nights, devotional music has the ability to elevate consciousness and create a more profound shared experience. The organisers have previously hosted similar spiritual music gatherings. Their earlier event featuring sitar virtuoso Rishab Rikhiram Sharma received a strong response, reflecting a growing interest in classical and meditative musical traditions in Nepal, the release added. Encouraged by that response, the organisers are now bringing another such experience, this time featuring globally celebrated kirtan artiste Radhika Das. Radhika Das is a prominent London-based kirtan artiste, Bhakti Yoga teacher, and podcaster known for guiding people to spiritual fulfilment through mantra, music, and meditation. The release noted there has been a renewed global interest in kirtan and bhajan - ancient devotional forms that combine mantra, rhythm and collective chanting. As more audiences turn towards mindfulness and spiritual exploration, artistes like Radhika Das have emerged at the forefront of this movement. In what the organisers describe as a world often overwhelmed by noise and constant news cycles, the evening is intended to provide a rare space for stillness, reflection and spiritual alignment through the transformative power of music.
