Blue Aquarius was a 1970s funk/rock band with a big band sound, consisting of over 50 members who were followers of Prem Rawat and led by Rawat's brother Bhole Ji. The band recorded a self-titled album for Stax Records Gospel Truth label in 1972, and after performing at Millenium '73 they disbanded in 1974 at Rawat's order.[1]

Blue Aquarius included guitarist Kevin Dempsey and former Bee Gees drummer Geoff Bridgford,[2][3] who composed several songs on the album that were popular with Rawat's followers.
