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.
