Our testimonials
I have been listening to KHQN Radio for many years. The recent format change has been awesome.
I have been listening to Radio Krishna KHQN with lectures and stories from Caru Das and his wife Vaibhavi Dasi since 2005. The recent format changes to English Lyrics and contemporary music styles is revolutionary.
I have been enjoying KHQN SOOO much! It brings much joy to my heart to have been blessed by God to be able to hear so many songs about Krishna in my native language of English. Thank you so much for running the station and putting it in an app where even devotees like me outside of Utah can still enjoy such beautiful music.
I’m so thankful for Krishna Radio! The uplifting, positive music and messages always brighten my day, make me want to dance, and create a safe, happy atmosphere for myself and my passengers without any swearing or offensive language. I also love the myriad of genres available, so there’s always something fresh and inspiring to enjoy. I especially love hearing the talks from Caru Das; it’s always the perfect message exactly when I need to hear it.
I appreciate being able to listen to this channel even when I travel. This enables me to be consistent in my Bhakti, wherever I may be.
We’re in Mormon town here in Spanish Fork, Utah and it’s nice to see how local people are participating and giving us support. Every day they visit the temple and this is due in part to the dynamic preaching and songs on the radio station which can be heard throughout the state and all over the world.
Excellent work, Caru
