Today, the psytrance community and the global music world grieve the passing of a legend, Goa Gil.

In a somber turn of events, today’s music world mourns the loss of an icon, Shri Mahant Mangalanand Puri, known to many as ‘Goa Gil.’ His official Instagram account announced that he transitioned from this world on October 26, 2023, at his residence, encircled by the warmth of friends and family.

Seven and a half months ago, Goa Gil was diagnosed with High-Grade B Cell Lymphoma. Throughout the challenge of his illness, he remained a beacon of spiritual strength, continuing to inspire his fans and well-wishers from all around the globe.

Goa Gil wasn’t just a musician; he was a movement. As one of the pioneering figures in the psychedelic trance genre, he played an instrumental role in sculpting its evolution. With his deep understanding of trance’s spiritual roots, he transcended the conventional boundaries of the genre, integrating sacred chants and ancient rhythms to create an experience that wasn’t just auditory but transcendental. For many, a Goa Gil set wasn’t just a party; it was a pilgrimage. His music was an ethereal journey that bridged the worlds of the ancient and the modern, the material and the mystical.

From the vibrant beaches of Goa to global dance floors, his legacy reverberates in the heartbeats of countless rave pilgrims and the very soul of the psytrance community. The depth of his impact on music and the collective consciousness of his listeners is immeasurable.

As we reflect on his remarkable journey, we’re reminded of the spiritual essence he brought into everything he touched. Goa Gil once said, “Trance is a healing force. It’s for the spiritual upliftment of humanity.” And he lived every moment embodying that very sentiment.

On behalf of all of us at EDM Magazine, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the myriad of fans grieving this immense loss. As the psytrance community comes together in this moment of sorrow, we take solace in the knowledge that while legends like Goa Gil may leave the earthly realm, their vibrations remain eternal, echoing in the very fabric of the universe and the hearts they’ve touched.

May his soul journey onward, dancing through the cosmos to the eternal rhythm of existence. 🕉️🎶🌌
