MANTRAS FOR LIFE (CD)
Deva Premal & Miten with Manose
From a review
by Nityanando:
Invite
some friends,take your seats, get comfortable, close your eyes, push "Play" ...
Let
Deva lead us on a one-hour meditation journey though chanting mantras with her,
listening/hearing, allowing her voice to take us into the silence of the
beyond.
Deva
and Miten's latest CD, Mantras for Life,
is actually an opportunity to dive head first into that world; the world of the
beyond, the world of the unknowable.In it Deva
unveils more of her roots in mantra chanting, while sharing her growth through
her years with Miten and his music of life, celebration, silence.
This
CD continues to shift the focus from music to the purity of mantra practice,
perhaps reflecting the ongoing growth of Deva and Miten's own lives.
Both
Manose and Miten add musical elegance to the mantra repetitions, but the
clarity of purpose is unmistakably with the mantras themselves.Though each individual mantra has a particular
significance and use, I stayed with the complete collection as a morning
meditation practice. Of course, this can be done by yourself, but if you gather
a few friends to practice together, that joy of voices together makes it all
the more beautiful. Try it as a daily practice for a bit.
