Deva Premal & Miten
Premal met her partner, Miten, at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India, in 1990, where she was studying reflexology, shiatsu, craniosacral therapy and massage. They have toured together since 1992, offering concerts and chant workshops.
Premal and Miten say they use a "natural selection" process to choose mantras for their albums. Premal prefers Sanskrit mantras. She has stated that removing her ego from her understanding of the mantra allows its true meaning to be expressed. She describes their work as being "messengers of a 5,000-year-old tradition."
