On a vegetarian gathering Szandrik László (aka Vijaya Gouranga das, formerly of the band Fantom) and Németh Jeno (aka Jaya Hari das, formerly in Lily Marlene and Womb) had decided to form a band.

The first rehearsals began in 1999 in the basement of Charlie Horváth’s house (a popular Hungarian singer). They took all musical instruments that they had collected in 30 years and started to play.

In November they recorded their demo entitled 'Ébredj fel!' (Wake Up!), and played their first gig with the bands Strong Deformity and Neck Sprain.

In 2000 they did a tour and played in front of 5,000 people. They also released the CD 'Embert játszani'.

In 2001 they released the CD's Élo embert játszani' and 'Életrol életre'.

In 2002 they released the album 'Om'

In February 2003 they played on stage at the first Eternal Soul festival, and released the CD 'Tetteim súlya'.

In 2004 they released the '108' album.

In 2005 they released the CD 'Minden a Tiéd' – they also did an offshoot project named Visnu, chanting Sanskrit mantra's to rock music.

By 2006 they were playing in front of 10,000 people!

In 2008 they released the album 'Akarom látni'.

Amidst some lineup changes, they have many albums to date and continue to spread the message to the masses.
