Deva Premal and Miten met and fell in love at Osho’s ashram in Pune, India, and have sung together ever since. Their mantras, from Eastern meditation traditions, have reached millions of people in the West.
Osho’s influence
Osho encouraged musicians to create their own music rather than copy tradition. That freedom shows in their sound.
Sangha
One of their albums is called Songs for the Sangha. Sangha means spiritual family, and the album is an offering to their listeners.
Music and silence
At their concerts, the audience chants and then sits in silence. For them, that shared silence is as powerful as the chanting: music is a path to an ecstatic experience of silence.
Messengers
They see themselves as messengers tending mantras like a healing plant.
A suggestion: listen to one of their mantras and, when it ends, stay in silence for a minute.
