Journey In Satchidananda is the fourth solo album by Alice Coltrane recorded on November 8, 1970. Avant-garde in its jazz direction and released in 1971, its title and title track reflects Coltrane’s inspiration by Swami Satchidananda whom John Coltrane had become close to while being his disciple.

Shiva-Loka or realm of Shiva references the realm of the third member of the Hindu trinity, the dissolver of creation. Stopover Bombay refers to a five-week stay in India and Sri Lanka on which Coltrane was due to go in December 1970. Something About John Coltrane is based on themes by her late husband, John Coltrane. Isis and Osiris, on which Charlie Haden replaces Cecil McBee on bass, and Vishnu Wood plays oud, indicates Coltrane’s interest in Middle Eastern and North African music and culture. The presence of the tamboura, played by Tulsi, reflects Coltrane’s interest in Indian classical music and religion.

2. Shiva-Loka ~ 6:37
3. Stopover Bombay ~ 2:54
