Ashram’s new single "Charon", part of the Eternal Thirst album inspired by Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha, is now available on YouTube. The song features a unique rhythm, Hari Krishnamoorthy’s exceptional solo, and explores the connection between Siddhartha’s ferryman and Charon from Greek mythology.

On January 5, 2024, the Indian-European rock band Ashram presented their new album Siddhartha live in Trivandrum – their first concert in over 12 years. With the support of the Goethe Centre Trivandrum and Dr. Ibrahim Syed, the event was a great success. New musicians like Arunitha Mohan (Veena) and Jagdish Barot (Sarangi) added to the evening's magic. The concert received widespread media coverage in prominent newspapers such as The Times of India and The Hindu. Ashram continues to work on releasing the full album and plans for an upcoming concert in Austria.

Ashram's new song, The River, symbolizes the Buddhist and Hindu teachings of purity, meditation, and the cycle of life. Drawing inspiration from the flow of water, the song reflects the path to nirvana and the spiritual cleansing power central to religious rituals, like bathing in the sacred Ganges. The River captures the essence of reincarnation and new beginnings.

Ashram will present their tribute album Siddhartha live on January 5, 2024, in collaboration with the Goethe Centre in Trivandrum. This special concert honors Hermann Hesse, whose family lived in Kerala. Thanks to Dr. Ibrahim Syed, a key supporter of this tribute and translator of Siddhartha into Malayalam. The event will feature additional musicians, including talents from North India, creating a unique musical experience.
