In the vibrant tapestry of life at New Radhakunda Dham, Visakha discovers moments of tranquility and creative inspiration amidst the bustling rhythms of daily activities. Within the sacred confines of the temple, the verdant beauty of the garden, and the sanctuary of her own creative space, she finds solace and rejuvenation. Despite her manifold duties and responsibilities, she manages to carve out precious hours from her busy schedule to immerse herself in her true passion: the composition of profoundly artistic and captivating music.
Inspired by a diverse array of musical luminaries such as Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Don Van Vliet, and the timeless genius of J.S. Bach, Visakha's musical journey knows no boundaries of genre or convention. With a keen ear for innovation and a heart overflowing with gratitude and spiritual devotion, she weaves intricately layered soundscapes that often transcend notes and melodies.
Each composition is a labor of love, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and imbued with the spirit of a transcendentalist. For Visakha, music is more than an art form; it's a sacred offering to the Lord and his devoted followers. Ultimately, every chord, every rhythm, is a prayer whispered to the divine and a testament to her unwavering faith and philosophical understanding.
As her musical offerings resonate with listeners around the globe, Visakha's fanbase continues to grow, drawn in by the depth and beauty of her creations. From the haunting strains of a piano-based reaction to a song by Radiohead to the ethereal echoes of electronic experimentation, Visakha's music touches hearts and souls, transcending language and culture to unite listeners in a shared experience of divine inspiration.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977) is revered as the founder-acarya and foremost spiritual master of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Under his guidance, 108 temples were established worldwide, including the temple at ISKCON Korsnäs Gård in the southern region of Stockholm in 1976.

New Radhakunda, 4 May 2024: Today, out of the blue, a delegation from the Swedish Satya Sai Baba Foundation paid us a visit and, lo and behold, they went all green thumbs on us! In the name of honouring Mother Bhumi and paying homage to Lord Krishna, they planted 100 flower bulbs and perennials in New Radhakunda's park. What a pleasant surprise!
