Vineetha Menon’s RASA Feels Like a Hug From the Universe

Okay, let’s get one thing straight: RASA isn’t your average “put it on while you do the dishes” album. It’s more like… the soundtrack to your soul doing somersaults under the moonlight with Krishna himself. Yep, we’re going there.

Vineetha Menon—yoga teacher, singer, and all-around cosmic conduit—has created something truly magical with RASA. It’s a radiant mix of ancient Indian devotional songs (some passed down through her family and nearly lost to time!) and modern, soul-soothing vibes. Think Sanskrit chants wrapped in dreamy harmonies, with just enough mystic sparkle to make your chakras shimmy.

The album centers around the Rasa Lila, a mythic story where Krishna’s flute calls the Gopis into the forest for a night of divine dancing that literally stretches into eternity. No big deal. With each track, Vineetha pulls you into that forest, barefoot and starry-eyed, whispering, “Hey, you’re part of this love story too.”

Raised between Wales and India, she grew up crying happy tears at kirtans without even knowing what the words meant. Now, after years of spiritual study and zero formal vocal training (humble queen energy), she’s living in Oceanside, CA, leading yoga sessions and Sacred Music gatherings that have already helped feed thousands of people in India. Oh, and she casually dropped this album that feels like a devotional time capsule cracked open just for you.

Even if you don’t understand a single lyric (honestly, same), the emotional transmission is real. It’s like your heart gets a warm bath and a pep talk from the Divine.

In short? RASA is pure soul nectar. Play it when you’re meditating, mourning, dancing, or just need a reminder that love—real, capital-L Love—is always within reach. Vineetha Menon isn’t just singing songs—she’s singing you back to yourself.
