IndiaJiva is the musical partnership of Australian composers, multi-instrumentalists and producers Ron Ragel and Vicki Hansen, whose internationally acclaimed recordings have become a sanctuary for listeners seeking peace, inspiration and inner stillness.
For more than two decades, the duo has crafted a distinctive musical language that seamlessly blends the spiritual traditions of India with contemporary cinematic production. Their music honours the timeless beauty of sacred mantra while presenting it in a way that resonates deeply with modern audiences across cultures.
The name IndiaJiva—meaning Soul of India—reflects the heart of their work: creating music that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries while remaining rooted in authenticity, reverence and emotional connection.
Together, Ron and Vicki perform an extensive collection of traditional and contemporary instruments, including sitar, lap steel guitar, bansuri and bamboo flutes, keyboards, didgeridoo, guitars, bass, percussion and vocals. Their recordings weave together lush orchestration, evocative melodies and ancient Sanskrit chants into immersive soundscapes that invite contemplation, meditation and healing.
IndiaJiva has built a substantial global audience, with more than 140,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, millions of streams worldwide and listeners in over 150 countries. Their music has become a favourite among meditation practitioners, yoga communities, wellness professionals and listeners simply seeking moments of calm in an increasingly busy world.
Alongside their artist career, Ron and Vicki have enjoyed distinguished careers composing music for documentary and television productions for more than thirty years. Their music has accompanied hundreds of productions broadcast internationally by organisations including the BBC, ABC Australia, SBS, Channel Nine and Al Jazeera, bringing the same emotional depth and storytelling sensitivity that defines their artist recordings.
Rather than recreating traditional devotional music, IndiaJiva gently reimagines it—combining centuries-old spiritual traditions with contemporary production, cinematic textures and world-class musicianship. The result is music that feels both ancient and timeless; deeply rooted in tradition yet unmistakably relevant today.
Whether experienced through headphones during meditation, in yoga studios, wellness retreats or concert performances, IndiaJiva’s music offers a quiet invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with something timeless within ourselves.twe
