BAIRAGI was a project directed and composed by Manish Vyas. It is a collection of mantras created for a Jain spiritual mission in India (followers of Mahavira), who gave him the project of conceiving this beautiful soulful devotional album.

For the recording, he gathered many singers and instrumentalists in a recording studio in Pune, India, where this album was born after one month of meeting for the recordings. Although Manish composed this whole album, he only sings on "Vande Gurudev," a piece which later he released in his own collection via the album "Sahaj Atma."


The path towards the Divine, when one dissolves one's identity, such that every act reflects the Lord, every step is towards the Lord, every breath chants the name of the Lord, and existence itself is for the Lord, the world calls him a Bairagi - one who is intensely in love with GOD. Paving the way towards this Divine Love was Lord Mahavir. Several souls attained that Divine Union treading this path; one amongst them being Shrimad Rajchandraji. Shrimadji is highly revered for His great spiritual elevation, extraordinary personality, remarkable exposition of Lord Mahavir's teachings and literary genius. Guiding thousands of aspirants on this path is Shrimadji's ardent devotee, Pujya Gurudevshri, a Bairagi Himself. Every track in this album is a dedication to all those Great Souls who have dissolved their existence and have become one with the Divine.The music has been composed by Shri Manish Vyas.
