Teacher

Instructor’s bio

Radha Kanti joined a Gaudiya Vaishnava ashram in France in 1991, where she started her spiritual practice of bhakti-yoga and lived in ashrams in Germany and England.

In 1992, she travelled for the first time to India and lived in the holiest town called Radha Koond, searching for a pure and genuine spiritual teacher.

1996, she met with him, Paramahamsa Sri Srimad Bhakti Vedanta Narayan Goswami Maharaj, in Mathura city, UP, India. In Vrindavan, she received the spiritual initiation through transcendental sound, and her life changed radically. She decided to stay and live in India at the lotus feet of her divine master. She learned from him how to follow this sacred spiritual process, hearing daily classes from him. Under his guidance, she began the process of self-realization through bhakti-yoga, which consists of the spiritual practices of pure devotion for the Supreme Being, through transcendental sound.

Her divine teacher is descending from a lineage of self-realized souls that has been coming for five thousand years. The original guru was Krishna Himself, who imparted this knowledge to the first created being lord Brahma, then to Narada Muni and Vyasadeva (the compiler of the Vedic literature), and it is still descending until today. It is an unbroken chain of perfected souls who are teaching by their own standard and example.

Radha Kanti deeply studied the eastern philosophy of Vedanta –ancient sacred texts from India containing the most elevated transcendental knowledge– under his guidance. She lived fifteen years in India, at the Gaudiya Vaishnava Ashrams of Vrindavan.

After listening to more than a thousand lectures from the lotus mouth of her spiritual master, he humbly requests her, repeatedly, to become a transmitter and messenger of this divine love and knowledge. His last request and instruction to her, before leaving this world, was to distribute hari-nam (divine sacred names) around the world and his divine teachings.

In 2002, her spiritual teacher instructed her to make books for new people, in a very simple manner, for all audiences to understand. She published two music albums of Gaudiya Kirtan in Sanskrit and Bengali called ‘At Your Lotus Feet’, with six songs, and ‘Divine Chants at Sunrise’, with ten songs.

Radha Kanti is a sannyasini, practicing bhakti-yoga for 35 years. She has given hundreds of lectures on transcendental knowledge and ‘Bhakti Yoga Immersion Sessions’ of spiritual love (prema), around the world to audiences of up to 1500 people. She travels most of the year conveying these divine teachings and lives the rest of the time in Vraja-vrindavan, India.

When sharing this divine knowledge of the soul and the Supreme, Radha Kanti feels great jubilation to be able to please the inner heart’s desire of her divine master. Therefore, all her spiritual retreats and lectures are offered free of charge, without any monetary interest whatsoever, only with a genuine desire, from the bottom of her heart, to awaken the latent spiritual consciousness in all living entities, to distribute pure knowledge, and inspire all to begin the path of self-realization, through the process of pure bhakti-yoga. Thus, her travels around the world are made possible by voluntary donations.
