Album Review
Known for glorious, highly musical renditions of tradition Hindu chants, German devotional singer Deva Premal, with her husband, multi-instrumentalist Miten, is in an unusually straightforward mode on this 2010 release. Still striking the balance between artful presentation and reverence, Premal incants these healing chants 108 times each, but with minimal musical accompaniment — less emphasis on melody and more on a reverberating, soothing hum. Her intention with this release is to support her listeners' daily chanting practice. To that end, she includes instructions for appropriate applications of each chant (removing obstacles, creating abundance, joy, and bliss, etc.). Her gorgeous and resonant voice — familiar to Battlestar Galactica fans from the opening theme music of the show — is multi-tracked for maximum effect, and the result is a hypnotic listening experience, even for people who don't intend to chant along. If there is a "hit" here, it would be "Om Kama Pujitayei Namaha (Sacred Love Making)" which features a charming, raga-like melody and transcendent backing track.
Customer Reviews
Perfect for meditation
This album is simple but so elegant with Deva Premal's gorgeous voice doing 108 repetitions of each mantra. I am using it to chant daily as my morning meditation.
Centering In The Cyclone
These mantras, chanted so beautifully by Deva, provide a simple, easy path to centering in the cyclone. Chanting with her is a delightful and potent meditation practice, and just playing the mantras can have an amazingly calming effect, as I discovered recently when I brought a friend back from the hospital. She was feeling very fragile and fretful and was unable to sleep. I played the healing mantra Om Shree Dhanvantre Namaha for her and within minutes she was settling down under the covers, relaxing and soon asleep. Om shanti om!
