Kirtan is our heart
We are Goloka Sound. We sing kirtan at the temple in Goloka Dhama, Germany — we record it and we share it. Simple, powerful and deep: this is what brings happiness.
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Founder-Ācārya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
We know him through his books, his lectures and his recordings — he left this world before we could meet him. He carried the holy names to the West and gave Krishna to people who had never heard the name, with kindness to everyone he met. That we know these names at all, and can sing them, we owe to him.
Questions we get asked
Yes. We sing every Friday from 17:30 to 20:00 at the ISKCON temple Goloka Dhama — except on Fridays when a major festival such as Janmashtami is held there. Visitors are welcome: sit down and sing along, clap or simply listen.
The ISKCON temple Goloka Dhama, Böckingstraße 4a, D-55767 Abentheuer, Germany. We sing before Sri Sri Radha Madana-Mohana, the deities of this temple.
Singing the names of God together: one person sings a line, everyone answers. It is not a performance and there is nothing to understand in advance — the sound does the work.
On our YouTube channel. Recordings also go into the Telegram group Karuna Vani Kirtan — it was there before the channel was, and we keep it going.
The project runs on what its participants put in, and by the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Madana-Mohana and the vaishnavas of Goloka Dhama — we manage. What helps is simple: watch the videos, subscribe to the channel, and pass on a kirtan that moved you.
By e-mail: hello@golokasound.com. There are only a few of us and all of us have other work, so an answer may take a while — but anything written with a real purpose will get one.
We build this site slowly, as time allows — there are no announcements or schedules here. Recordings of our kirtans go up on our YouTube channel, as and when we manage to prepare them.
