Customer and Press Reviews

• "This is absolutely stunning, beautiful and magical work. It is electronic, trance, chillout, pagan, buddhist, spiritual to describe it in a limited amount of adjectives. Just a masterpiece. I write my book of Shadows to this music. Quite an incredible work of art. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to enter a spiritual mindset. Trust me!"
— Oak Raven, Amazon.com (Reviewing Open Transmission)

• "Bhakta must have graduated from Bombay Tech with honors!”

“Excellent production.” (Review for Drowning in Grace)
— Future Music Magazine, UK June 2002

• "I must say that I have never seen such a reaction to music as the reaction I am getting in feedback from the site. Honestly, even before someone comments on anything else, they are commenting on the music that they are at a loss for words over. I am very proud to promote your stuff in any way I can."
— Supermodel Saira Mohan, after launching her new website featuring Bhakta's music, Dec 2004.

• "Open Transmission is the twenty-first century's hottest chillout album: a hypnotic blend of dancefloor electronica spiced with sounds of India."
— Honey Harris, broadcast DJ, USA

• "Disha's work shows depth and maturity and it is the way she views her life that has made this album so fresh and new!
...Filled with sounds and thoughts her music transports you either into a wet forest or a night club via the temple. She is lush. Today I will play the entire CD as it was recorded."
— Marie Cameron, BAY FM 99.9 Byron Bay, Australia

• "Bhakta, I listened to all of your music many times....I think it's amazing, don't ever stop!"
— Ellie Weinert, former A&R manager BMG Europe.

• "On my last tour in Australia a friend gave me a copy of 'Drowning in Grace'....
it is one of those 'soul nourishing' discs, we pretty much wore it out on the CD player in the car."
— Harry Manx, musician, winner of Best Blues Album in Canada 2002 for ‘Dog my Cat’

• "I got my hands on a copy of Open Transmission by BHAKTA. Wow, not enough words in English to describe it. TranzDance, chillout, even erotic with enough club mix to all together toss listeners into an absolute exotic futuristic musical bliss. The 'WALL' charts you at #4 December NAV. When I kicked off my Wed. "Light in the Night" program with full length Open Transmission not only did I get calls from the general audience, but a sound tech from a local group called and two hosts from other stations called (and one of our own programmers called). And...aired Disha's Drowning in Grace followed by Today I Found You and got a ton of callers then. What can I say 'cept that Bhakta and Disha have found a home on the WALL."
— "Flyingman" Mark Caldwell, WAWL Chattanooga, TN

• "My girlfriend came home from work while I was playing India All Over and she said ‘This is my favorite CD you have’. I usually like to put on something calming for her when she gets home like slow jazz - Chet Baker, classical - Debusey, Mozart, or what I think of as Indian Classical - Ali Akbar Kahn. I discovered Bhakta's music when I heard Snow On Venus by accident while driving through Connecticut. It was playing on a College radio station. It really impressed me."
— Edward Auden, Maine USA

• "We heard your music at a retreat and it both moved my wife and myself. It is truly divinely inspired and we hope that you continue to make the music of the soul. Thank you for the love you are bringing to the earth through your music."
— Sharon and Todd Lochhead, UK

• "We have been using rough-cuts of Bhakta's music for years in our Tantra groups and people have always found them inspiring and uplifting. This powerful recording, which will catapult you into transforming meditative spaces, is the result of the unique combination of Bhakta's deep spiritual experience as a meditator and his musical genius. Bravo Bhakta!"
