 "I wake every morning feeling like I'm living in a miracle – where spirituality, creativity, work, and love have all come to mean the same thing. My life has been shaped by mantras; I have become their servant." - Deva Premal
Singing mantras has been a passion for Deva Premal since growing up in a German home permeated with Eastern spirituality. Now Deva Premal and her partner Miten travel the world sharing their gift of mantra and yoga music with enraptured audiences.
"Our music is born out of meditation and a celebration of life. It'
s not a matter of entertaining people," says Miten. "We play to nourish a longing in the heart for that which never dies – the experience of love and meditation."
Deva Premal and Miten originally met at an ashram in India. One morning, Miten was sitting on the edge of his bed playing guitar when Deva Premal spontaneously began singing harmony with him. Everyone was astounded by the sound of her voice, including Miten. "Her voice is such a pure expression," says Miten, "there'
s no ego in it. That may be what touches people...”
Below is a selection of recent CDs with sample mp3s. At the end of the page is a link to Deva Premal and Miten's website, and links to some free songs you can download.
 Mantras are rapidly becoming the music of choice for people seeking solace in sound, and Deva Premal, dubbed by one reviewer as "the Enya of mantra," is the voice they're turning to.
With close to 400,000 CDs sold worldwide and a buzz of interest from fans ranging from yogis, therapists and alternative health practitioners, Deva Premal and her partner Miten have achieved a huge degree of recognition in the blossoming niche world of yoga music.
Deva Premal's music is driven by a simple yet elegant vision: "Everybody with a voice can sing, and everyone with a breath in their body can experience their divinity... we share with others the healing power of music, and the bliss that it brings."

 Already considered a yoga music classic, The Essence is one of the New Age genre's top selling CDs.
Backed by ambient grooves, subtle electronica and hand percussion, Deva Premal’s transcendent vocals induce ecstatic contemplation. The Gayatri Mantra, the world's oldest known mantra for purification and healing, is the centerpiece for this truly meditative album, and her rendering of the Gayatri Mantra is haunting.
As Deva Premal’s first release, The Essence lit a musical fire whose white hot flame continues to burn. This is an essential yoga music CD.
Gabrielle Roth says, "This is the music of Earth Angels, listen with your 3rd ear!"

 Graced by Deva Premal's vocal harmonies, Miten’s songs take flight, seamlessly blending male/female energy to reveal the healing balance that comes through true connection with the self.
Insightful lyrics and refreshingly simple, melodic arrangements examine the many faces of love: from its manifestation on the physical plane and the master-disciple relationship to longing for meaningful companionship and the inner dialogues we conduct with ourselves.
Through their long and storied musical and life partnership together, Miten and mantra singer Deva Premal have created a true heart connection with each other and thousands of fans worldwide. On Songs For The Inner Lover, Miten draws from that nourishing experience to offer a truthful and universal sentiment sure to provide healing comfort to all who are touched by love – or long to be. And this makes for beautiful yoga music.

 Glowing with an inspiring, heart-centered passion, Love Is Space sets a new musical standard for mantra singing and is the perfect instrument for creating a calm, impenetrable oasis on the massage table, meditation cushion or yoga mat.
Deva Premal’s gorgeous voice floats above graceful arrangements on guitar, piano, harmonium, flute and light percussion, bringing these ancient mantras to life.
Love Is Space, Deva Premal's second solo album, contains six sacred mantras from India, including "Gatè Gatè," the heart sutra of Buddha, and "Om Mane Padme Hum," the ancient Tibetan invocation. Also included is the exquisitely performed West African chant, "Idè Werê Werê."
This beautiful recording continues in the footsteps of Deva Premal's classic debut, The Essence, which is one of the most popular yoga music CDs ever.
