about

This is the first album by the band Jiva, four guys from San Bernardino, CA with strong beliefs, talent and musical aplomb. Originally released in 1972, this album combines catchy musical grooves with heartfelt and universal lyrics to suggest ways of living and being that instruct and inspire without getting hung up in religious dogma. These are love songs, after all.

Thanks to the generosity of the George Harrison estate , we can now offer this collection of tunes in Digital 24bit, 96k high resolution download form for the first time for your listening pleasure and inspiration. The remaster of this rare product was recovered from the original vinyl release with love.

JIVA (GEE-VA)
The word JIVA comes from the Sanskrit root "jiv" which means "to breathe". Jiva is "that which breathes" and is commonly used to signify the soul.
