Our Story

Where Devotion
Meets Distortion

Born in Chandigarh, the Madhavas Rock Band fuses the ancient art of sankirtan — the congregational chanting of the holy names of Krishna — with the electrifying energy of rock music. What began as college friends jamming together became a spiritual mission: to spread the message of Bhakti through melody, power, and heart.

Led by Nav Kishore Nimai Das (Nirdosh Sobti), crowned Best Guitarist of India, the band has performed at Ratha Yatras, Janmashtami festivals, ISKCON events worldwide, and mainstage at NH7 Weekender and Sunburn. Their debut album Prerna — The Timeless Inspiration was released in 2011 by His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj.

The Movement

Bhajan Clubbing

India's fastest-growing spiritual phenomenon — devotional bhajans reimagined with electric guitars, pounding drums, and festival-scale energy — has found its most authentic expression in bands like Madhavas. Nirdosh Sobti performed at the landmark Sanatan Journey festival at Delhi's Purana Qila in March 2026, where 7,000 devotees danced in near-trance to the holy name. New Delhi alone hosted five major devotional concerts that month, with tens of thousands attending. Rooted not in spectacle but in genuine bhakti, Madhavas have been living this fusion long before it had a name — "high on spirituality, not spirits."
