Available in:
Deva met her partner in life and music, Miten, at the Osho Ashram in Pune, India in 1990 at Osho's Ashram where she was studying reflexology, shiatsu and cranio-sacral therapy, and massage. They have been touring together since 1992, offering concerts and chant workshops worldwide. Best known for her top-selling chant CDs, Deva is a classically trained musician, who grew up singing mantras in a German home permeated with Eastern spirituality. Her albums have topped the New Age charts throughout the world since her first release, The Essence (1998), featuring the "Gayatri Mantra". Deva & Miten's record company, Prabhu Music, reports sales of over 900,000 albums. Deva began her journey with mantra in her mother's womb, as her father chanted the "Gayatri Mantra", one of the most sacred mantras of Hinduism, to her daily, and it continued to be her bedtime lullaby after she was born. Many years later, she heard a friend singing the "Gayatri" and was inspired to put together an album featuring it. She and Miten recorded The Essence (1998) in her mother's apartment in Germany, the same one in which she was born and where her parents had sung the "Gayatri Mantra" to her years before. Deva brought this journey with the Gayatri Mantra full circle in July, 2005, when she and Miten chanted the "Gayatri" for her father as he was dying: "We kept singing for what must have been over half an hour, when suddenly the monitor showed that he was about to leave. I continued to sing and the last sound he heard as he passed on was his beloved "Gayatri Mantra". Finally we ended with the mantra Om and the circle was complete. He had welcomed me onto this planet with the "Gayatri" and I accompanied him out of this physical existence with it. What a blessing this was for me! It was the first time that I was present at a death, and to be at my father’s is a memory I will cherish all my life."
