Kriya, meaning "work" or "action" in Sanskrit, is an ensemble of top Finnish & Indian musicians. The varied musical background of its members is audible in its music, a combination of not only rock & jazz but also folk & classical Indian music. Most of the pieces were composed by guitarist Peter Lerche. The songs are in Sanskrit, Pali & Finnish.

Audaud review:
Talk about crossover!  Kriya recorded their album in Finland, the songs are mostly translated from the original Sanskrit to Finnish, & the music generally sounds to me like a mix of Indian, Irish & Finnish.  There are English translations printed of the lyrics, but this is another of those graphic failures where the background art or photography obscures the type & it is often unreadable. There do seem to be some connections between East Indian Sanskirt & Finnish, though I don’t know the details. Several of the songs have traditional Indian lyrics.

Some of the tracks have very compelling melodies & arrangements, & the surround mix draws one into the music. A predilection for Indian music would be a prerequisite for real enjoyment of this album. Would have liked to have known more about the gestation of this ensemble & the backgrounds of the various performers.
