Here’s the essence: Mission Statement

Our mission is to serve as a beacon of transcendental sound, illuminating the path to self-discovery and spiritual revitalization.

We strive to awaken the eternal, spiritual self (the ātmā) within every listener, fostering profound realization of one's true, blissful, and everlasting identity beyond the temporary designations of the material world.

By sharing the timeless wisdom, devotional music, and sacred practices rooted in the Vedic tradition, we guide the soul on its essential journey of reconnection to its divine source: Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Krishna Radio is dedicated to providing inspiration, clarity, and devotion, helping individuals establish a loving, eternal relationship with the Divine and attain the highest goal of human life.

In short, KHQN Krishna Radio blends tradition with technology: it’s where timeless devotion meets modern broadcasting—streaming kirtan, mantras, and messages of spiritual harmony to a worldwide audience.

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.

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.
