Deva Premal & Miten

Last night my and my sister in law, also she a yoga teacher (I'm so blessed to have my only sister in law also loving the same things I do) went to a Deva Premal & Miten concert in the city concert hall.

It was bliss. I especially loved the mantras she does with the Gyuto Monks of Tibet. The earthy tones of the monks and her feminine voice.

Take out your mala and sit comfortably with a straight back and prepare to recite the mantra 108 times and then end in silence.

As Deva says,

“Without the silence that follows the chants, you get only half the story. It's like the climax of a good story. The silence is there because it exists in the music. It just needs to be exposed and acknowledged. It's so easy to overlook the silence inside the music... and it's that which is healing us... if we allow it to be there. This is really one of the main reasons Miten and I sing - to bathe in Silence. It's our nourishment. It's what keeps us on the road. For me there is nothing more precious than having sung with an audience, ecstatic with bliss, and then entering the deep silence that the mantra brings... so deep, that with closed eyes you really feel there is 'nobody' there at all... all personalities dissolved for a tiny sacred moment.”
