Bhakti Yoga Rishikesh is an international community inspired by Radhanath Swami and rooted in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
Many of us came to Rishikesh as seekers ourselves. Through bhakti, we found a path that moved from philosophy into lived experience — shaping our homes, friendships, work, and daily practice.
Our team brings together people from different cultures, backgrounds, and stages of life, united by sincere practice and a longing for something real.
We share bhakti through kirtan, thoughtful guidance, honest friendship, daily practice, and a welcoming space where people can explore devotion at their own pace.
what is bhakti
The yoga of the heart
Sing
Kirtan
The names of the Divine, sung together, until the room becomes one voice.
Repeat
Japa
A quiet, personal meditation: the maha-mantra on beads, one name at a time.
Listen
Satsang
Sitting with wisdom — readings and talks from the Gita and the bhakti texts, honest questions welcome.
Share
Prasad & seva
Food offered with love and then shared, and the simple joy of being useful.
“If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or a little water, I will accept it.”
Bhagavad-gita 9.26

The best introduction to bhakti isn’t a page about it — it’s a little time among people who live it. Tell us what you’re drawn to, and we’ll help you find your way in.
