Bonjour Azure is a compilation of Vashava's recent works involving improvisational New Age music, rooted in the traditions of his Jain/Roma ancestors from North India. Free form in nature, Bonjour Azure's nine original New Age compositions are deeply rooted in the Jain philosophy. Vashava applies the essential tenets of Jain asceticism to transcend to an enlightened mystical state while performing on his traditional wooden flutes. While occupying this alternative realm, Vashava intertwines the eternal cycling of samsara with the universal force of karma. This transcendental experience culminates in the music that flows through Vashava, arising from the six eternal substances, or dravya, of the universe: jiva, pudgala, dharma, adharma, akasha, and kala. Vashava serves as a conduit through which the utpata, vyaya, and dhrauvya converge, defining the deeply spiritual music arising from his wooden flutes. Bonjour Azure reflects the fruits of Vashava's devotion to the essential tenets of Jain asceticism.

Vashava is delighted to share with you these intimate and enlightening expressions of the Jain.
