"The high chanteuse of chant, Deva, is a pillar of originality in the grand garden of Indian music. You might say she's to Sanskrit Mantras what Enya is to Celtic music. Her smooth soulful voice, which resides in the lower octaves, haunts atmospheric, lightly rhythmic, ethereal soundscapes skillfully crafted by her partner Miten.

"I was hiking in the Desolation Wilderness last year when I tried to descend from Mt. Ralston by an alternate route, following a waterfall.

"On the way, down, I got in trouble and fractured my leg... wound up spending 2 nites on the waterfall with seemingly no way out.

"No-one knew I had gone hiking, and I had no food or water... just my CD player with this new CD I brought up with me.

"I was hungry and scared and I really thought I would die on the mountain and then I put on this CD and heard the most beautiful, life-affirming music I had ever heard. I played and replayed it and it gave me the will to live and to struggle down the mountain with my fractured leg and other injuries.

"I have never met Deva but I truly love her and her music.

Your voice somehow turns compassion, kindness and forgiveness into a living force which cuts right to the heart; this force gives the listener a serious cuddle; it's not every day this happens and this I think accounts for the tears, and there were many for me! I think I really needed to cry: the sound of the Names of the gods seems to have that effect on me, and it felt good to let go of my feelings, whatever they were! Tears of Devotion to Truth?

I don't think I could listen whilst doing yoga, you are not suppposed to cry during yoga, right?

Thank you for another fine fusion of East and West, making dharma so accessible to the Westerner's ear - and heart.

Om Shri Mahakali Krim, Om Shri Maharani Krim.
