159: In this podcast, Wanda is having Deva Premal and Miten as guests in her podcast. The field of spiritual music cannot be imagined without them. Through their concerts, satsangs and gatherings, they touch millions of hearts with their healing music and mantras. Follow along this honest, warm and beautiful conversation of Wanda with these two pure souls. Find out, how they met in Osho’s ashram, what role connections play in their lives, how their relationship is still blossoming after 33 years, what Mantra means to them and what it can do to people when chanting and singing the old Sanskrit’s wisdom. Find here an overview of the topics: - Osho as a guru and how he opens doors to connect to the divine - Wisdom about their long-lasting relationship (support each other’s spiritual journey, make your partner your friend) - The magic of Mantra and how it can be seen as a supplement, a frequency resonating within us, a shortcut to meditation - Connection as the healing power of Mantra - Mantra as a tool for stress relief About Deva Premal and Miten: Both met in the early 90s in India in an ashram of the spiritual master Osho. After leaving a very successful, but not fulfilling career as a musician in England, Miten found his way back to himself through the humble and simple life in the ashram. Living there for some years, Miten found his service to the Osho community as a musician. Deva, from Germany, left to India with only 17 years in India where she was studying reflexology, shiatsu and cranio-sacral therapy. She comes from a very musical family, influenced and guided by Eastern and Zen philosophy. Her mum brought Osho’s teachings into the house - and that is why Deva felt the call to Iive in his ashram. Deva and Miten became partners, and she contributed first as backup and support during the musical gatherings until she had a re-encounter with the Gayatri-Mantra - which was already sung to her by her dad as a child. Deva found her voice again and immersed into the world of Mantras, with Miten on her side. Both started touring worldwide with the Osho community, contributing through music - until they recorded their first album “The essence” in 1998. This record became an unexpected success at that time and was the beginning of the continuous story of Deva Premal and Miten.
