Govinda Kishore das

Mridanga and Kartal Instructor

Originally from England, Govinda Kishore das moved to Mayapur at the age of 10 where he studied Mridanga under the tutelage of Radha Govinda Pal Mahashai for 7 years. After graduating from Gurukula, Govinda Kishore moved to Italy where he taught Mridanga and Kartals to numerous students over the course of 8 years. While in Italy he also spent time learning to play acoustic drumkit in order to enhance his understanding of percussion instruments. He has since moved with his family to New Vraja Dhama, Hungary, where he offers his Mridanga and Kartal classes online, through Kirtan Studios.

Govinda Kishore has a deep love for music but alongside that, what really gives him fulfilment is being able to teach things that appear complicated in a simple and intuitive way. He believes that the secret to being a good musician isn’t just about being technically good at an instrument, but also the attitude in which we play with others and having the sensitivity to know what to play when.

Govinda is looking forward to helping people who also have a passion for music and Kirtan to join his classes where he will tailor the session to their specific level and needs.
