Kayla Radhika Miller is a multi-disciplinary artist, mystic, scholar, and yoga teacher devoted to the sacred intersection of art and spiritual life.
Initiated into the Shivoham Tantra lineage in 2019, she has studied primarily with Artemis and Bhairav of Anuttara Ashram as well as Nataraj Chaitanya. 
In 2024, her teacher Bhairav gave her the name Radhika in recognition of the depth and sincerity of her devotional path and her ability to spark spiritual devotion in the lives of her students.
Kayla holds a Master’s degree in Art History, with research exploring the influence of the Bhagavad Gītā on the life and work of Canadian painter Lawren Harris. 
Alongside her academic work, she is a devoted painter whose works live in yoga studios, galleries, and private collections around the world.
Her current work explores the world as the living orchestra of the Divine, drawing inspiration from tantra, sufism, music, and modern art.
Through her paintings, teaching, exhibitions, and online Patreon community, she invites people into a more intimate, reverent relationship with the sacred that dwells in all.
Kayla Radhika Miller joins WTF to share how living in an ashram, a committed mantra practice, and a devotional creative life transformed her—through loss, eros, and artistic rebirth.
