Some conversations deserve a second listen. In this encore episode of the Music Saved Me Podcast, host Lynn Hoffman revisits her talk with Radhika Das, a Kirtan artist and bhakti yoga teacher whose path to healing began with a painful breakup in the mountains of Spain. That loss led him to Kirtan, the ancient practice of devotional call-and-response chanting, and to a new understanding of what music can do for a hurting heart.

Radhika shares why he sees music as medicine for the soul and why Kirtan is about more than chanting. It's about community, connection, and finding joy even in the darkest stretches of life. The conversation also touches on musicians and mental health, and how music builds resilience when we need it most.

Whether you're hearing it for the first time or coming back to it, this one is a reminder that music can carry us through.
