Bhajan Bhoy Meditations

"mesmerising and cosmic in the best sense" / UNCUT magazine (Stephen Dalton)
"What sets Bhajan Bhoy’s music-as-healing aside from most is its grain, its rootedness in the concrète. There’s nothing clinical about its therapeutic intent. Each of the tracks manages to find beauty and calm within the swirl, and it’s this intensely human, patient and inclusive side to meditative practice that I find both touching and effective." / FREQ (Lucy Cage)
"tidal synaesthesia tones ebb, flow and crackle from this sound diviner" / MOJO Magazine (Ian Harrison)
"A serene record for difficult times, and those in need of succour could do a lot worse than give Meditations, the latest release by Bhajan Bhoy a spin. Regardless of what Ajay Saggar has released over the years, and there is a lot, the listener will often note a sense of being wholly submerged in a sound; something that, given the state of the world, is a Very Good Thing. You could do a lot worse than listen to this, if you’re in need of some heartspace." / Louder Than War (Richard Foster)
"Bhajan Bhoy has found inner peace within these four blissfully unhurried long-form compositions" / Electronic Sound Magazine (Bob Fischer)
"A deeply immersive and revelatory listening experience. Emerging from listening to ‘Meditations’ is akin to leaving the cinema in daytime, stumbling back into the conventional world having been buried in an alternate universe. Dazed, dazzled and marvelling, it is a journey to be relished." / Silent Radio review (Andrew Neal)
"Fantastic stuff from Bhajan Bhoy" / Gerard Cosloy (Matador Records)
"Absolutely gorgeous record" / Bill Chen (KSPC radio (USA) / Bill Chen vs Dennis Callaci)
"Another tremendous release" / Aaron Yap (95bFM radio (New Zealand) / Psychic Glands)
"A fabulous album" / Brian Faulkner (KDVS radio (USA) / Nothing Exceeds Like Excess)
On Meditations, Bhajan Bhoy presents four expansive, deeply immersive compositions that slowly open and unfurl across the album’s duration. Length here is incidental; what matters is the total listening experience. These pieces move with patience and grace, drawing the listener into a blessed, inward journey. The result is a remarkable record—equally cinematic, intimate, and richly evocative.
Drawing from folk traditions, ambient synthesis, ethereal guitar work, and deep listening practices, Meditations creates a world of textural depth and microscopic wonder. The album’s wide-ranging instrumentation—accordion, piano, yangqin, synthesisers, guitar and bass, banjo, and harp—highlights Bhajan Bhoy’s imaginative and searching compositional approach. Each sound feels carefully placed, allowing space, resonance, and atmosphere to guide the music’s emotional weight.
There is a quiet power running throughout Meditations: a sense of stillness that never drifts into stasis, and beauty that reveals itself gradually. These are pieces that reward patience and presence, offering something profound to the deep listener.
“These tracks served as a series of spiritual prayers when I recorded them,” says Ajay Saggar (Bhajan Bhoy). “They became even more important to me later, as personal changes occurred in my life from mid-2025 onwards, and the real power and beauty of the tracks came to the fore—helping me heal in my body and in my mind.”
Meditations is a meditative, enchanting work—music as refuge, reflection, and renewal.
