Founded by Nityananda Ram Das, a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and a disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Radio Mayapur has grown from a modest vision to a thriving platform, connecting devotees worldwide through the power of Krishna Conscious music, podcasts, and positive spiritual discussions.
The seeds of Radio Mayapur were sown in the fertile soil of a simple realization – the need for a dedicated platform to showcase the diverse talents of ISKCON devotees. Nityananda Ram, in an ISKCON News interview, shared the genesis of this vision, “I wanted to create a positively potent space where the world could experience the devotion and creativity of ISKCON devotees through their music and life stories.” The idea sprouted not just from a desire to share devotional content but also to create a global community hub where devotees could feel connected, inspired, and informed about life in Mayapur and beyond.
Radio Mayapur is not a solo endeavor; it’s a symphony conducted by a dedicated team of devotees. Nityananda Ram highlighted the invaluable contribution of Ganga Das, a senior devotee who has lived in Mayapur for almost 40 years and who took the lead in producing captivating podcasts. “Without him, we wouldn’t have podcasts. He’s done half of them remotely when he travels, capturing the life and times of devotees around the globe,” said Nityananda Ram.
Krishna Sevani Dasi, the music and content manager, works diligently to expand the platform’s music library. Nityananda Ram emphasizes the significance of live announcements during music playback, stressing the importance of promoting individual devotees’ work, “The goal is to promote ISKCON devotees’ music, and by promoting it, you must say their name so that people know who this is from.”
