About the Artist

Deva Premal and her partner Miten are gifted musicians who travel the world opening people's hearts. Deva Premal is a native of Germany. Miten, who accompanies and produces all the CDs, is from England. They met and fell in love in India, where each had gone on spiritual pilgrimage and to study the rich musical heritage of this mystic land.

They now spend their lives touring the globe, giving concert and workshops in Europe, Australia, Japan, India, Canada and the USA. They offer much more than music, they offer a doorway to the heart and a journey into bliss through song and mantra.

Product Description

Graced by ancient mantras and mult-level harmonies, LOVE IS SPACE glows with an inspiring, heart-centered passion. Deva Premal's voice, like silk, like liquid bliss, is accompanied by Jai Uttal, Miten and Kit Walker's amazing keyboard and rhythm tracks. LOVE IS SPACE, as the title suggests, is a journey into the spacious golden land of chant.

This is amazingly sensual music that is ideal for yoga, meditation, healing work, and, not least of all, slow passionate dancing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Beautiful!, July 16, 2003

By	Judith E. Pavluvcik (Dreaming of the beach in California, but living in the reality of the desert in Arizona!!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first introduction to this amazing artist, and all I have to say is "Simply Beautiful"! Her voice is incredibly soothing, melodic, transforming, and filled with beauty. I use this CD while doing massage and I find not only myself, but also my clients transported. So very relaxing on many levels!

The chants are mesmerizing and I, for one, do not find them "too long" at all, as one reviewer stated. I could listen to this CD all day! The instrumentals and subtle back up vocals are intertwined perfectly, and do not overwhelm the beauty of Premal's voice, but complement and support her incredibly.

I love this CD and I love chanting along with Premal - it soothes, refreshes, calms, and instills a deep sense of peace and love within my soul. I am now most anxious to hear her other recordings!

Highly, highly recommend this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Music That Speaks to Your Soul, July 1, 2006

By	Dr. Richard G. Petty (Atlanta) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Every major culture has used sound and music not only for enjoyment, but also for spiritual celebration, enlightenment and healing. The mantra tradition of India is the most sophisticated of all. Over all the centuries that mantras have been performed and used, I wonder if they have ever been produced more beautifully.

I have not met Deva Premal and her partner Miten, but having listened to their CDs over the last few years, I feel as if I know them. For they are far more than highly gifted musicians, everything that they produce is suffused with deep love and profound spiritual awareness.

You can most certainly listen to this extraordinary work for enjoyment, but if you let it in, it will soon have profound positive effects on you. When Deva Premal sings, you are listening not just to her physical voice, but to the subtle and causal dimensions of her being. And if you let them, your own subtle and causal bodies will respond.

This is much more than beautiful music: it can guide and carry you toward emotional and spiritual healing and awakening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love is Space, January 31, 2002

By	ruth c christopher "ruth-y" (New Hope PA) - See all my reviews

How fortunate we are to share the joy and love that emanates from this beautiful recording. Deva Premal's voice tugs at your heart. Her devotional prayers for peace wash your soul in a warm bath of love. Reminiscent of the voices and style of both Kim Waters (Rasa) and Wah (of Wah!), the tonal quality of Premal's voice reaches deep within. Her rendition of "Om Mani Padme Hum" is so joyous you can't help but enthusiastically take part in her song. Later I found this tune still resonant in my mind. "Ide Were Were" is a gorgeous piece and moves through the room like a sensual dance. Deva Premal is joined on this recording by her partner Miten and other wonderful musicians including Jai Uttal. The vocal harmonies, unusual in mantra chanting, of Jai Uttal and Premal are an exquisite blend of talent.

Especially sweet is the love story which embraces these endeavors. While individually travelling in India, Premal, a native of Germany, and Miten, from England, met and fell in love. Marrying their spiritual and musical quests, they now tour the world performing and giving workshops. Again, we are blessed to share in the culmination of their union and efforts. "Love is Space." Thank you, Deva Premal and Miten, for filling my space with your love.
