Hi Friends, Deva, Miten and Manose continue their travels through Europe. In spite of the world economic crisis (or maybe because of it), their audiences are even larger and more ecstatic than ever. Their new CD/DVD In Concert , is now available throughout Europe and can also be found at our online shop. It will be released in the USA at the end of July, and can be pre-ordered now for official release date delivery. We are also delighted to announce a surprise release from Deva: Mantras for Precarious Times.This powerful new CD is specially priced at 10 Euro, available only at concerts or at the Prabhu shop, and is rush released to support our mantric practice in these challenging times. Deva chants for peace, for the removal of obstacles, for sacred love-making, abundance, physical healing, joy and liberation. Deva, Miten and Manose will return to America in September, beginning at the Omega Institute's annual Ecstatic Chant Retreat. See Events for full details of their schedule, and visit the Photo Blog for pictures from the road, including their first ever visit to Russia.
In love and light, The Prabhu Music Team |

In Concert contains many of their most inspirational mantras and songs, plus six brand new, unrecorded concert favorites, including the uplifting anthem, In the Light of Love/Om Shree Dhanvantre Namaha. "Just watched the new DVD was touched to tears! Fantastic! Magical! Listened to the CD once and woke up singing The Light of Love the next morning. I love it! Played it for 2 hours yesterday. The combo of Miten singing English and Deva the Sanskrit works so well (one of the things I loved about Eyes of an Angel). I've just got to listen to the rest of the CD now."

While in London Deva and Miten were interviewed by Clare Soloway for Conscious TV. Clare was instrumental in encouraging Miten to get back into music some 25 years ago, after he had left his former musical career for a life of meditation with Osho. The interview is very sweet and intimate. Deva and Miten also sing unplugged versions of Teyata, Awakening, and the Gayatri Mantra. Conscious TV presents interviews with some of the most inspired spiritual teachers of our time. |

| Message From Miten | ||||||||||||

Hi friends, We recently watched a movie on YouTube called Home – maybe you saw it? If not, we recommend you do. It is powerful – and a very realistic overview of the challenges facing our human family. It is not news anymore, that we are destroying our ‘home’. We’ve all seen the films of the ice caps and glaciers melting, we watch the continuing destruction of the rain forests from our television screens, we all know about green house gas and its impact on the ozone layer. And we can see for ourselves the layers of pollution hanging above our cities. But, unfortunately, as a species, we don’t seem to be able to put a stop to any of it. And now the world economic crisis has underlined the fact that our reality - as we have known it – is changing forever. Where do we go for solace? We can’t rely on our leaders to bring us peace of mind –that the path of the mystic even exists. So it has to come from within each of us – and that’s the bottom line. Osho often spoke about having many bottles of medicine, each one with a different label, depending on who was asking the question. But inside the bottle, he said, the medicine was always the same: meditation. The music Deva, Manose and I make is nothing more than one of Osho’s bottles. We play and pray that it inspires you to take some time out from your busy lives to sit in meditation - to breathe, to chant, to listen to the wind, the birds, the traffic, the sounds outside your window...whatever god's orchestra happens to be playing at the time...and slow down for a while. Nobody can give you this peace, and nobody can take it away. We will always do our best to support you in your meditation, because that is our mission. Meditation is the ‘last resort’. Distractions will always be there – it’s in the nature of things - but despite all the distractions, and all our obligations, we have one constant and faithful friend – our breath. Our awareness that all things come and all things will pass. And from this awareness of ‘that which never dies’, grows the greatest gift – the compassion towards all living beings, human and otherwise. And ultimately, compassion directed back towards ourselves, which is where our journey begins. So, please join us, even if it is for only 10 minutes a day, and chant a mantra, breathe it in – and see what happens! Don’t take my word for it. Try it, and see. If you have attended one of our recent concerts you will have chanted OM SHANTI OM with us, 108 times, so you know the benefits already. Give it to yourself, and to your friends, because right now, time is of the essence... And enjoy! With love from us both, |

The magic of Deva Premal and Miten's concerts with Nepalese bansuri maestro Manose is captured in this beautifully packaged new CD/DVD combo, 
Mantras For Precarious Times
The Tantra-Mantra retreat in Corfu, Greece is fully booked but there are still spaces open for the Tantra-Mantra group scheduled for November 28-December 5 at the beautiful 






"...You see my five fingers - but somebody can see the five gaps between my fingers. But ordinarily you will not see the gaps. You will see five fingers. But the gaps are more real. Fingers come and go, gaps will remain. Between sounds of music, there are gaps of silence. The authentic music consists not of sound, but of the gaps. Sounds come and go. Those gaps remain. And music can make you aware of those gaps more beautifully than anything else."
