Create a Daily Mantra Meditation with Deva Premal!

Begin or perfect your daily mantra meditation technique with this special audio program from Deva Premal. For this recording, Deva chose mantras that are relatively short, to make it easier for you to become familiar with the sounds. Each track is 7-9 minutes in length -- short enough for you to sustain a daily practice and long enough to feel the power of the mantra.

According to Deva, the best way to benefit from these recordings is to choose a particular mantra and make it part of your daily life, chanting it once or twice daily if possible (at dawn and/or dusk, preferably). However, if your life doesn’t allow for such involvement, just do it as often as you can.

It’s the intention that matters, and soon the mantras will become a part of you – transforming and blessing your life.

•Includes notes on useful applications for each mantra

•108 repetitions of 7 mantras, each w/specific purposes

•Ideal for use with malas (prayer beads)

Deva Premal grew up in Germany in a spiritual family where she was introduced at an early age to chanting and meditation. Her mother is a musician and her father an artist.

"My father has been on the spiritual path since the 50's, studying Yoga, spiritual scriptures and whatever books were available back then, making it his daily discipline to meditate every morning between three and five am," she says.

"When I was growing up he devised exercises for my sister and I, to help us become more aware of the moment: We were taught to say 'Om' whenever we placed something on the table, for example. Another was to say 'Ram' whenever we switched on the light!"

As a child she studied the violin and piano but it wasn't until she met Miten, at the Osho Commune in India, that she began exploring her voice.

"When Miten began encouraging me to sing harmony with him, I didn't need a big push! I had grown up with music so the ground work was already done. And we sounded pretty good together! At first I played a supporting role, singing second voice, playing keyboards, and co-leading our workshops, which used mantras and chants from different cultures. I was very shy to sing alone, but encouraged by Miten, I became more confident and eventually discovered my voice."
