Silence in Sound
, a series of live mantra meditation gatherings. The tour, which spans New Delhi, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Bengaluru and Mumbai, will blend traditional devotional singing with storytelling and guided meditation.
The events aim to offer accessible spiritual experiences rooted in ancient Vedic practices. Each two-hour session will feature call-and-response mantra chanting, supported by an ensemble mixing classical Indian and contemporary instruments, including harmonium, mridanga, saxophone and bass guitar. Radhika Das has previously performed at international festivals and venues including Bhakti Fest, World Yoga Festival, The British Museum and Union Chapel.
With more than 50 million digital streams, his global work has centred on using sound as a medium for connection and reflection.
'This is a homecoming,' said Das ahead of the tour. 'These chants have ancient roots here. My goal is to create a space where people can reconnect with that legacy.' The performances are designed for a wide audience, requiring no prior experience in meditation or chanting. Organisers note that the carefully selected venues are chosen for their acoustic quality and spiritual resonance.
The India tour marks a significant expansion of Radhika Das's work in creating immersive spiritual spaces that move beyond traditional frameworks, with a focus on inclusivity, emotional connection and collective introspection.

Video On ‘Vande Bharat' Crisscrossing Each Other Ignites Curiosity: ‘Science Hai? Gaming Site Hai?'
Last Updated: The viral video showcases an astonishing railway crossover scene where three "Vande Bharat trains" navigate an X-shaped junction with curved tracks. A stunning animated video showing three high-speed trains seamlessly crossing each other at a railway junction has gone viral on social media, sparking fascination and debate. The video, widely circulated with patriotic captions, claims to showcase India's advanced railway infrastructure, crediting Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. However, what many viewers may not realize is that this is not real footage but a 3D animation. The trains featured are not actual Vande Bharat trains, but realistic 3D models created for visual impact. The viral clip portrays a remarkable scene where three trains approach a large, X-shaped railway junction, each taking a looping track and crossing paths with flawless synchronisation. The sequence appears to show a feat of rail engineering — no delays, no halts, just a graceful dance of trains crossing each other in what looks like perfect harmony. Watch the video here: 3 Vande Bharat trains crossing each other, not possible in any other proud of our Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishwaw ji — Abhishek ✨ (@ImAbhishek7_) June 6, 2025 However, a closer inspection reveals that this video is entirely computer-generated. The trains depicted are not actual Vande Bharat trains, but rather 3D models. The smooth textures, exaggerated rail layout, and perfectly looped paths are characteristic of high-quality animation, not real-world engineering. The junction itself is an idealised design, not one currently found in India or elsewhere. Despite being fictional, the video has captivated viewers with its imaginative representation of what future rail coordination might look like. It reflects the aspirations surrounding India's expanding rail network, especially the Vande Bharat initiative.
