Dheera Das
In the end, we are all just looking for love.
Until we realize that we are love itself.
My Story
One day in a yoga studio, I heard a recording of the mantra singer Krishna Das, who would later become my teacher. I had the feeling of coming home.
Then something started to happen: I began practicing mantra in my home, followed by invitations to chant in living rooms and yoga studios, at retreats and festivals, at weddings and funerals.
With my own musical compositions, traditional melodies from India and classics from western Bhakti music, I now pass on what is called Nama Sankirtan:
Mantras of the Holy Names.
New Album:
GRACE OF THE NAME (LIVE)
Grace of the Name is an unfolding journey into the heart of devotion. Each mantra comes as a soft offering: simple, sincere, and open to anyone who needs a moment of peace. These songs took shape over time, carried by the honest wish that the Holy Name may bring comfort, clarity, and a gentle return to our true nature.
Mantra Practice
Meditate Without Realizing It!
The power of mantras lies not only in the sound - it opens up a space of silence in which healing, connection and inner expansiveness can arise.
Dheera Das accompanies you with his voice and his experience through regular mantra sessions in which chanting together becomes a deep practice.
This creates a meditative space that touches the heart and mind - regardless of chanting experience or spiritual background.
“Chanting gives us the strength to let go of what prevents us from immersing ourselves in a deeper realm of our own being.”

The organization Go Dharmic combines spiritual practice with practical service. Through their projects, meals are provided for people in need around the world and humanitarian aid programs are supported.
Those who would like to support this work can also do so through my personal fundraising page:

Just £10 can provide around 10 meals — allowing a prayer to become very tangible support for others.
I’m grateful to be part of this initiative and to share this practice together with so many people.
Jai Hanuman.

After reading Jaya Prasada's book “Sri Siddhi Ma”, the melody to this mantra found me without me having to work on it in any way longer.
Ma once said: "It's all Grace. But we have to act like it isn't."
