Album Notes

"Beautiful music, so strangely familiar to me, yet hauntingly new and different. Exquisite.”

‘Follow your Bliss’ celebrates the magical unfolding of the highest potential of humanity ~ an enchanting journey of expansion, transcendence, awakening and bliss.

With unique instruments of alchemy, samjjana offers profoundly soothing, uplifting ‘new consciousness music’ that speaks to the aspiring heart and immerses the listener in a blissful state of tranquility.

In this 2 CD set, their fourth album, samjjana's Maia and Pratika-Sahayak offer divinely inspired original compositions, improvisations, instrumentals, soulful harmonies and chants ~ interwoven with words of wisdom from illumined beings.

Their music features the ethereal 'hang' sound sculpture; exquisite swarmandal, harp, sansula and Alchemy crystal bowls; and haunting Native American Indian, Bansuri and Shakuhachi flutes.

Guest musicians:
Nicholas Ng (Jianwen) ~ masterful improvisations on erhu and zhonghu.
Grammy Award winning percussionist, Carlos ‘Tapado’ Vargas ~ weaver of magical rhythms and sounds.

samjjana’s previous three instrumental albums honour the raw simplicity of their unique instruments. With ‘Follow your Bliss’ it was time to immerse themselves in the creative joy of multi layering, and add vocals to offer many beautiful and potent messages.

Being very different from their previous albums, it is bound to surprise and delight those familiar with their music ~ while preserving what was special about their previous albums - a delicate tapestry of soothing, nurturing simplicity and a blissful expanse in which to rest in the tranquility of Self.

Although not aligned with any religion, Pratika-Sahayak and Maia resonate with the core values at the heart of all true spiritual paths and faiths. Their lives and their music are based on universal love, peace, joy, unity, compassion and kindness. Their music is dedicated to the aspiring heart of humanity and its journey towards a higher consciousness.
