Mahamantra Das, a spiritual practitioner dedicated to sharing the glories of Sri Krishna’s holy name, has transitioned from years of devotional outreach into authoring a series of children’s books rooted in the traditions of bhakti. His work, published under Radha Giri’s Books, reflects a journey shaped by devotion, resilience, and personal transformation.
A Journey of Devotion and Spiritual Outreach
For many years, he traveled across India under the guidance and blessings of his spiritual teacher, His Holiness Navayogendra Swami. His service focused on sharing the teachings of Krishna consciousness, including the glories of the maha mantra and the eternal pastimes of Sri Radha and Krishna.
Through spiritual gatherings and katha sessions, he engaged audiences with devotional teachings. His journey also extended internationally, including time in Australia, where he facilitated devotional programs and spoke on the transcendental pastimes of Radha-Krishna.
Health Challenges and Spiritual Resilience
A significant turning point occurred when Mahamantra Das contracted long COVID, leading to a serious health condition later diagnosed as Tubercular Meningitis. This period required prolonged recovery, marked by physical challenges and sustained inner strength.
Throughout this time, he remained deeply connected to his spiritual practice. His recovery was accompanied by a renewed focus on the healing power of sacred sound. Alongside his wife, Vilasini Devi Dasi, he studied sound healing, and both became certified sound healers. Vilasini Devi Dasi is a siksa disciple of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami.
A Creative Mission Inspired by Devotion
Mahamantra Das met his wife, Vilasini Devi Dasi, in the sacred village of Radha Kunda, where they now reside. Their life in this spiritual setting became the foundation for a creative initiative centered on devotional storytelling.
Drawing from his devotion to Sri Krishna, he began writing a series of children’s books aimed at introducing young readers to the stories of Vrindavan and the saints of the Bhakti tradition. Each book combines storytelling with visual elements to present spiritual themes in an accessible format for children.
These narratives guide readers through the sacred landscapes of Vrindavan, highlighting divine pastimes, holy places, and the teachings of revered saints within the tradition.
Expanding a Collection of Devotional Titles
The growing collection of books authored by Mahamantra Das includes:
- The Story of Gopal Bhatt Goswami and Radha Raman Ji

These works aim to present elements of sacred history and devotional philosophy in a format suitable for young audiences while preserving the depth of the bhakti tradition.
Growing Reach and Distribution
Published through Radha Giri’s Books, the collection is gaining attention among families, educators, and spiritual communities seeking children’s literature rooted in devotional culture. The books are expected to become available globally through platforms including Amazon, Amazon Global, and Flipkart.
A Continuing Path of Service
For Mahamantra Das, writing is an extension of devotional service. Each book reflects his dedication to Sri Sri Radha and Krishna, as well as gratitude toward the saints and teachers who have guided the path of bhakti.
From a period of illness and recovery to a renewed phase of creative expression, his journey continues to reflect resilience and spiritual commitment. Through Radha Giri’s Books, he seeks to share devotional teachings with younger generations and contribute to the broader dissemination of Krishna consciousness.
