The Yantra Within – Sampoorna Bhakthi

Shri Praveen Radhakrishnan has quietly sparked a modern Bhakti movement that many say is changing how people relate to spirituality in the digital age. From his garbhagriha (Home ) to a growing online presence, his simple, egalitarian approach to devotion—what he calls Bhakti Marg—has touched and transformed the lives of thousands, offering a path that blends timeless spiritual practices with the realities of contemporary life.

Radhakrishnan is a Kali sadhak rooted in a venerable lineage from Bengal, tracing back to Shri Shyama Khypa and the broader Shri Bama Khhyapa tradition. Yet his teachings resist the trappings and complexities that often accompany spiritual instruction. He emphasises staying grounded in one’s asana and turning inward to seek God within, arguing that true spirituality need not be bought with big rituals or outsized fees. Instead, he invites followers to treat the body as a yantra—a living temple—and to invoke inner fire through disciplined practice, bhakti, and service.

The core of his message rests on accessible, practical spirituality for the generation most likely to be sceptical of conventional religious authority: the youth and the spiritually seeking public who crave authenticity over ceremony. In a world crowded with gurus, rituals, and competing claims, Praveen’s approach stands out for its insistence on simplicity and sincerity. He argues that genuine devotion does not require expensive programs or elaborate rituals; it requires staying present, cultivating love, and living those values in daily life.

The launch of Kaliputra Mission marked the practical turning point of this philosophy into a public movement. What began as a series of short YouTube videos filmed from his garbhagriha has, in under a year, grown into a community that spans digital and on-ground channels. The YouTube channel now counts tens of thousands of subscribers—more than 39,000—and the WhatsApp community has surpassed 10,000 members. This rapid growth reflects a hunger for a form of spirituality that is personal, approachable, and unencumbered by financial barriers.

Satsangs conducted in cities like Bengaluru, Thane, and Hyderabad have left a tangible imprint on the lives of participants. Attendees describe a sense of clarity and renewed purpose, drawn not by spectacle but by the sincerity of the teaching and the willingness to meet people where they are. One notable aspect of Kaliputra Mission’s work is its funding model. The satsangs operate on a bhiksha-based, donation-driven approach rather than charging attendees or pursuing aggressive fundraising. In an ecosystem where spiritual programs frequently hinge on high prices and heavy solicitation, this model has resonated with many who seek meaningful experience without the burden of financial obligation.

Beyond online reach and satsangs, the mission is expanding on the ground with endeavours that emphasise universal, barrier-free worship. Volunteers are spearheading the establishment of Devi idol worship hubs across Bharat, inviting anyone to participate without social or cultural gatekeeping. This initiative—rooted in sankalpa, or solemn vows—has been embraced as a simple yet powerful way to make sacred devotion accessible to all, free of cost.

Praveen Radhakrishnan’s broader program includes a disciplined interpretation of Gau Seva and Annadhanam, reframing these practices not as charitable spectacles but as meaningful expressions of dharma and community. He argues that Gau Seva should be understood in its genuine purpose, beyond fundraising narratives that sometimes overshadow the ethical responsibilities it entails. Similarly, Annadhanam is reimagined as a large-scale act of service achievable through robust volunteer networks rather than heavy financial outlays. The disciple community around him—comprising around 167 core members—has played a crucial role in sustaining these efforts, quietly driving change across many lives.

The philosophy underpinning these initiatives is not merely rooted in tradition but in a confident assertion of individual spiritual sovereignty. The aim is to worship the Devi—Adya Maha Kali—in every household, without fear or bias, through personal rules and lived devotion. This vision, grounded in sampoorna bhakti, seeks to democratize access to sacred knowledge and sacred practice alike, ensuring that devotion remains a personal journey rather than a commodified product.

Observers note that Praveen’s approach represents a broader shift in contemporary spirituality: the move toward intimacy, inclusivity, and service as essential expressions of faith. Vivekananda’s call to mobilise youth to transform a nation resonates in this context, amplified by a cadre of 167 dedicated volunteers who have quietly become agents of change—each person a thread in a larger fabric of transformation. The ongoing work of Kaliputra Mission, they suggest, is less about building a branded movement and more about nurturing a living, breathing practice that anyone can start in their own home.

As Kaliputra Mission continues to expand—deepening its Devi worship centres, strengthening its online platforms, and fostering a culture of seva and scholarship—the core message remains clear: devotion does not require exclusivity, and spirituality does not demand wealth. It demands sincerity, discipline, and a willingness to serve. If the early responses to these efforts are any indication, Praveen Radhakrishnan’s simple, potent path could very well redefine what it means to love, live, and seek moksha in the modern world.
