Rasa is a musical collaboration between Hans Christian, a German cellist and multi-instrumentalist, and Kim Waters, an American singer. The duo draws heavily on Indian devotional music such as Bhajan and Western classical music.

Rasa was formed in 1998 by Christian and Waters, who is a devotee of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. They have released five full-length albums focusing on various themes in classical Hindu religion and mythology. Their release, Temple of Love (New Earth Records, 2006) is a tribute to the temples at Khajuraho, India.
