Hi, I’m Richard. This is my devotional path.
Chanting found me at a time when I was searching for something deeper than words — something that could hold what I didn’t know how to express. I wasn’t looking to perform or be perfect. I was looking to reconnect… to soften… to remember.
Over time, mantra became my medicine.
Through repetition, I found rhythm.
Through sound, I found silence.
And through devotional singing, I found a kind of belonging I hadn’t felt in years — to myself, to the sacred, to others.
What began as a personal refuge grew into a calling: to hold spaces where others could experience the same quiet miracle.
Why I Chant
My practice is rooted in bhakti yoga — the path of love and devotion.
I sing the names of the Divine because they remind me that I'm not alone.
Because they open my heart when I’ve closed it.
Because they bring me back to breath when my mind spins away.
I chant to stay connected — to tenderness, to presence, to something greater than myself.
I’m not here to teach from a pedestal. I’m here to sing from the ground I’ve walked — the one shaped by grief, healing, devotion, and the courage to begin again.
What Matters to Me
Creating spaces where people feel emotionally safe and spiritually welcome
Honoring the bhakti lineage with humility, devotion, and care
Using sound as a bridge between silence and expression
Leading with honesty, not polish
Remembering that love doesn’t require us to be flawless
What I Offer
I hold devotional chant gatherings online and in person — not as performances, but as shared practices.
I create mantras, reflections, and sound offerings that speak to what it means to be human and holy at once.
It's not just music — it’s prayer, presence, and practice.
It’s a space I needed, and now feel called to hold for others.
If you’re curious about the sound, or the silence beneath it, I’d love to sing alongside you.
