Customer Reviews:

Engaging and Peaceful.......2007-07-16

I first heard Deva Premal on XMRadio and was mesmerized by her voice; Love is Space contains chants that are engaging, calming, and peaceful. My morning starts with this CD; I highly recommend it.

Meditation.......2007-05-13

This is a hauntingly beautiful CD to put you in a relaxed and peaceful state. It is chant, hum and groove. Even my teenage nephews get quiet and meditative when it's playing in the car!

Deva Premal.......2007-05-08

This CD is exquiste and has speeded up the process of healing for my spine cord injury. I am doing amazingly well with Deva Premal's CD's. Look forward to seeing them live. The shipping was a breeze!

I love this CD. My initiation in Reiki was made with some tracks of this CD, which i listen over and over again. Her voice is beautifull. Thank you Deva for sharing it with the whole world.

Breath-taking beautiful chanting I've ever heard............2007-01-09

I've been searching and listening to lots of chanting +meditation music on the journey of yoga. The warmth and devotion in Deva Premal's voice comfort and inspire me, and helps
to open my heart chakra with such kindness and gentleness. I've been listening to it every night and it has became part of my life.

Deva ("Deva" is a Hindu title for divine) Premal has attracted a following by framing ancient Hindu mantras within atmospheric, contemporary settings. The result on Embrace, her third release, is at times flavorful, at other times undistinguished, but it produces more intriguing moments than duds. On occasion, Premal aspires to Enya-like reverence (e.g., tracks 2 and 4), then elsewhere coos her ancient text atop gentle grooves and jazzy flutes (tracks 3 and 6) in a manner suggestive of Deep Forest. Some might describe it as "smooth chant." Highlights include "Shree Ram Jai Ram," a beautifully realized cross-pollination of East and West (highlighted by Kit Walker's free-floating piano and Premal's resonant choir of voices) that hints at what Joni Mitchell might create if she tried her hand at Eastern music. --Terry Wood

Album Description

EMBRACE, the long awaited new album from Deva Premal, finds this best-selling singer at the height of her art, expressing the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision. Her radiant voice, richer and more assured than ever before, floats above a cool, sensual groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists and producers Miten and Kit Walker (Walela, Kitaro, Neal Schon).

Deva Premal enthralled audiences worldwide with THE ESSENCE and LOVE IS SPACE. That phenomenal success continues with EMBRACE. Its relaxed, uplifting feel and elegant sense of space can only heighten the spell already cast by this mantra enchantress.

"Majestic, deep and full of love," Deva Premal's EMBRACE is a lovely and moving next chapter from an artist whose incredible potential is only beginning to unfold.

Album Description

Deva Premal's Embrace expands on the Eastern Indian fusion and ethereal vocals of her previous work, combining timeless mantras with contemporary arrangements. Innocent, soothing and laid-back. Features 8 tracks of sensual music for yoga, packaged in a slipcase. White Swan. 2004.

Ony one world.......2007-07-17

If I have only one world for this CD, that world would be:

GREAT

I love this woman, her voice is so perfect, strong and clear...

sublime.......2006-11-12

Being Indian I started on this CD with trepidation, expecting a western pop version of indian chants. But Deva produces an authentic bhakti experience and dissolved my fear. Her music, though somewhat different from my past Indian experience, blissfully conveys the Spirit that are the words themselves. In India it is said that if one has bhakti in the heart then the singing of and about the Names will convey the inhernt bliss, irrespective of all else.
Listen to this CD and feel the bliss.

Uplifting, absolutely beautiful!!.......2006-09-02

I think this is one of Deva's best...her voice, the music are all deeply moving and wonderful...there are solemm pieces and also joyful ones that literally make me dance! Lots of drumming and even a little jazzy at times...I could listen to this CD over and over again and I never tire of it!!

Disappointing.......2006-06-08

I found this disc disappointing compared to Deva's brilliant first CD entitled The Essence - which is a must have. What seems strange to me is that she is on the inside cover touching Buddha's chest, while the first track sounds like make-out music. Hmmmm.... For what it's worth, an Indian Brahmin confirmed that some of the mantras are concoctions, too, which does not really set a good precedent. People copy Deva's chanting in their kirtans and in this respect her work is influential. Although being innovative can be commendable, spiritual traditional chants are, in my opinion, off limits for whimsical changes. I wish she would get her mantras from reliable sources in the future.

Hard core Deva fans won't notice, of course, and will love this.

Deva Premal Embrace.......2006-03-20

I really like this choice of music for practicing yoga at home. It makes the time fly by when during my yoga workout and the music is appropriate and calming.

Those sounds...a mirror for me.......2007-07-11

Dear Customers,

Thank you for sharing these wonderful arrangements. Cave of the Siddhars. Your music is instantly translated into soul messages. Musical soul massage. I don't know if it was my conscious mind or my unconscious mind but one of them surrendered to the music thanks to the constant didgeridoo in the background. My mind remembered a timeless aspect of itself. Turiya Nada's music that for the first few seconds had sounded extremely exotic fit into the mold of my being, as a result when I combined the music with asana practice I was able to deepen in the poses knowing that I was being "cushioned" by the call of Turiya Nada. The final "Arohara" invocations of the final tracks are perfect for the ending of savasana for me...and I believe for others too.

Thanks,
Nathaniel

that which is, that which we are.......2007-04-10

Cave of the Siddhars is an empowering journey bringing to light these ancient vibrations. Connect on a deep level with the inspiration of the perfected masters. Feel the immense wisdom these vibrations hold and begin to connect with thought as source in every breadth. If you are looking to align a deep spiritual experience this is the music for you as all walks of life.
Blessings

The Truth of Being.......2007-03-30

i remember listening to the cd before going to a healing movement class. the music and chants vibrate the truth of being. i was able to feel grounded with the ability to completely empty out into the silence of the divine. one of my challenges it to keep my feet here while embracing the inner light. this cd is very supportive of the healing journey and wherever i am in the moment. a beautiful merging of primal sounds and pure light. thank you for the gift of this cd!

Enter the magical/mystical realms :).......2007-03-12

Cave of the Siddhars CD entered my life back in May of 2006. Since then I have listened to it every day at least once. The blending of instruments and Nandhi's voice are amazing. Love it !! The resonance and high vibrational energies seem to awaken and stir ancient memories of knowingness within my being. At the same time bringing a sense of immense peace and joy. My cells dance to the vibrations. A CD that can be listened to anytime anywhere. Highly recommended. Dare to enter the magical/mystical realms of the Siddhar Masters and you won't be disappointed :)

A Powerful Journey into the Turiya Nada.......2007-01-11

The wonderful combination of sacred mantras and astonishing music creates a profound inner experience. It is a powerful and amazing journey into the realm of Turiya Nada. I experienced that I was able to reach into a whole new level of awareness by flowing with the sound/light waves.
I was initially curious about how the digeridoo and the many other instruments would work in combination with the mantras, and it works just perfectly - there is always a delicate balance between the music and the chanting. Pure enjoyment all the way...
'The Cave of the Siddhars' really manages to transport awareness to a profound inner state of light and grace. It is a true blessing!

German-born Deva Premal is a certified diva of the new age, having traversed the requisite Eastern spiritual paths, communing in Indian and following the late guru Bhaghwan Shree Rajneesh, also known as Osho. While her last CD, Dakshina, had a bit more of a pop-Enyaesque sensibility, Moola Mantra is a much more meditative affair as Premal sings a single, 15-word Sanskrit mantra over the course of six lushly smooth Indian fusion arrangements. The disc is something of a mantra super session, with kirtan crooner Jai Uttal playing dotar, Nepalese bansuri flute player Manose, pianist Kit Walker, sitarist Peter Van Gelder (who played with Grace Slick and the Great Society) and esraj player Benjy Wertheimer. They're among the ensemble providing the patchouli-scented ornamentations that surround Premal's serene voice. With producer Ben Leinbach's detailed arrangements and Premal's overdubbed vocal choirs, Moola Mantra recalls similar Hindu adaptations by Rasa more than any other Premal CD. Like Rasa's Hans Christian, Leinbach is a capable multi-instrumentalist with a gift for trance grooves that don't tire and evocative instrumental touches like the tremolo guitar bleeding into Uttal's dotar solo on "Part II." The music is a languid float down an endless stream, but the repetition of the mantra, even with inventive melodic variation, can get tiresome. Premal tries to have it both ways, mantra as art and as spiritual practice. --John Diliberto

Experience this enchanting blend of music and meditation!! A mind expanding journey from the traditions of Southern India to the "turntables" of the West. These 12 exceptional Mantras come from the Tamil Siddha tradition and are used to bring health, wealth and enlightenment to those who use them. These timeless mantras invoke divine aspects of various gods and goddesses as represented in the Hindu mythology. Listening to the combination of mantra and music is a very powerful meditative and purifying technique. Tracks 1 & 2, Siva and Vasi, invoke Siva who is the God of Infinite Intelligence and Compassion and who empowers all variations of the sounds OM NA MA SI VA YA.

Track 5, Saravanabavaya, is a sound associated with Muruga (Skanda) who opens energies of divine strength and vitality, while dissolving debts. Track 6, Gayatri, is an invocation to the Sun which enlivens the intellect and soul with brightness. Track 7, Joti, is a mantra that was taught by Swami Ramalinga to develop compassion and enlightenment. Track 8, Kleem, is a mantra for Parvati, Siva's consort, who brings the feminine power of attraction, energy and wisdom as well as the discipline to seek enlightenment. Track 9, Thiru Neela Kantam, is a mantra for bursting negative karma. Track 10, Sharaba, invokes the form of Siva that destroys negativity both inwardly and outwardly with nuclear intensity. Track 11, Triumbakam, is a sacred healing sound for health and immortality. Track 12, Ara Kara, is a mantra for removing the concept of impossibility, allowing material and spiritual manifestation to take place.

Rockin' Out with Siva.......2007-02-27

"Nearly all cultures of the world have some form of dancing & music as expressions of celebration and joy. Baba Sri Siva wishes to share the blessings and power of the divine through ancient mantras from enlightened tantric traditions in India. These timeless mantras invoke different aspects of the divine as represented in the Hindu mythology..."

This introductory note in DANCING WITH SIVA is applicable to all mantra music (a popular genre that continues to evolve with the fusion of Western elements.)

Baba Sri Siva introduces the 12 songs on the CD & he is also the lead vocalist. The introductions are brief & to the point. The feeling he conveys is that he is acting as your personal guru, guiding the listener through each mantra. He has a very pleasant singing voice.

Among other fantastic things, Sri Siva claims the mantras have the ability to solve personal problems ranging from "karma busting" to eliminating credit card debt! Well, we're not going there in this brief overview. The bottom line is that the CD is immensely enjoyable.

The mantra JOTI that is geared to stimulate compassion of Siva is beautiful & goes right to the heart chakra.

KLEEM (karma bursting) absolutely ROCKS OUT!

From the 100 + mantra CDs in my collection, I always return to DANCING WITH SIVA again & again.

one man's ceiling is another man's floor.......2006-06-06

i enjoy global beat world music (whatever that means), and have collected a fair amount of it. after reading the favorable reviews for this recording, i enthusiastically ordered it. i just listened to it and was very disappointed. perhaps i missed something, but as a musician, i found the musical renderings of these mantras mostly trite. there were a couple of moments that showed promise, but it quickly fell into banality. for my taste, there was too much electronic instrumentation used without much of a demonstration of experience. electronic instrumentation can be used to good effect, but i longed for more ethnic, real instruments with a little enhancement from electronic sound. i did not even have enough interest to pinpoint where those good moments were. listen to gifted mixologist dj cheb i sabbah or russill paul if you want this type of ilk--and without the comments at the beginning of each track. there really should be a warning that there is information verbally conveyed at the beginning of each track. for those individuals who wish to incorporate the mantras in some way, i suppose it might be inspiring. however, musically it falls flat. but, depending on your taste, and your purpose, this recording might be for you. for people who have experienced a fair amount of excellent world music fusions, and have refined their tastes, this would most likely be a huge disappointment--save your money!

I love Sri SIva! revolutionary,uplifting, energizing, and funky.......2005-10-28

Baba Sri Siva hits a home run... this is a great album with a lot of funky techno beats put to traditional mantras like trayambakam, arut perum jyoti and mantras new to me like one to Muruga called Aum Saum Saravanabavaya.I love listening to this innovative album combining tradition with techno beats. it lifts my mood in the morning while driving, especially in traffic, and is a welcome change to the negative repettive drudgery foudn on typical radio stations. I highly recommend this album to anyone just to try something new and different. definitely this would be a treat to people into meditative yoga who also like modern techno beats. Siva Baba breaks through limiting conceps once again...
OM SIVA BABA SWAHA!

Fun and Unusual Combo of Mantra & Techno Beat.......2004-12-18

I stumbled upon a number of cuts from the "Dancing with Siva" CD in the free music download section of Amazon and was immediately intrigued by the combination of mantra with an edgy world/techno sound. This isn't your typical soft, soothing, chanting CD - and that's what I love about it. At first, I fell in love with "Triumbakum" and "Sharaba", but after a few plays, I can't really say I have one favorite in particular. "Vasi", "Saravanabavaya", "Kleem", "Sharaba"... Who can choose?! They're all great. To me, the music itself is hypnotic and engaging; so if you're not a fan of mantra music, the mantras seem almost secondary. If you want a musical style comparison, one could sort of be made to Bhagavan Das' "Now".

Really Neat!.......2004-01-09

The techno/re-mixing on this CD took me aback at first, mixed so with the Holy Mantras. I wasn't sure about that. But as I listened deeply, I saw that each one was perfect for each mantra-song. In particular, the Lakshmi (Shreem) mantra-song is quite beautiful, along with Ganesh, the Sun mantra (Gayatri), & Joti. All lovely and unique! The music accompanying the Pavarti's (Kleem) mantra is a bit too edgy and sharp. The whole idea of Westernizing these Holy Mantras so they get into the American consciousness is a GREAT idea, and couldn't come at a better time. Highly recommended.

The tangerine dream of spiritual soundpainting.......2005-11-03

Among the many German musicians who in the 1970s "traveled" (in person or just spiritually) to India and the Far East and absorbed Eastern spirituality in the format of western music, Florian Fricke is likely to be the greatest. His work has been a constant exploration of the same theme: how to express the most personal, profound, austere spirituality by the means of western classical music, western sacred music and profane rock music. It was a marriage of East and West, and a marriage of past and present, made on Earth. In fact, it was made in Germany, and it bears the stigmata of German history. Almost inevitably, Fricke ended up denying the fundamental tenet of German music of his age: electronics. The humble, peaceful tones of acoustic instruments served his purpose better than the majestic complexity of synthesizers and sequencers.
In 1972 Fricke converted to both Christianity and Hinduism, and decided to move even further away from electronic instruments, preferring the most humble acoustic instruments over high-tech devices. A new line-up, centered around the angelic wails of Korean soprano Djong Yun, recorded Hosianna Mantra (Pilz, january 1973) in a Buddhist meditative tone, showing a solemn and elegant way to bridge the Western mass and Eastern meditation. Fricke on keyboards, Amon Duul II's guitarist Conny Veit, Between's Robert Eliscu on oboe, Fritz Sonnleitner on violino, Klaus Wiese on tambouras build up ascetic atmospheres that catapult the listener into Tibetan or Gregorian monasteries. Most of the interplay is between the piano (tenderly caressed by Fricke) and the guitar (whose phrasing simulates the Indian mantras). The other instruments add evocative power to the music, rarely altering the flow, in a manner similar to renaissance music. The key difference between this music and classical or rock music is the repudiation of rhythm: Tangerine Dream was removing rhythm (i.e., Time) from its cosmic soundpainting, and Popol Vuh removed rhythm (i.e., Time) from its spiritual soundpainting.

Dissatisfied.......2007-05-15

Listening to this CD in the hope of going into a meditative space will prove disappointing unless one is fascinated by the wailing and quivering male voice repeating the mantra over and over again in less than precise diction. The only thing that deserves one star here is the background music where the voice is still present but muted.

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!.......2005-08-30

This CD is by far the best CD available in the meditation music market. Most of the other CDs have several tracks, thereby breaking the flow of one's meditation. Dhyana Mantra has just 2 tracks of 21 min each. The length of each track is just perfect for going into deep states of meditation. As always, expereinces are better than my discription. Anyone who tries this CD will find it truely amazing and will also experience the deep meditative state that I have been enjoying. Just try it and see!!

Album Description

"Weaving shimmering phrases and drones, Makoto brings to mind the soundscapes of Robert Fripp's more recent solo releases, especially Fripp's collaboration with Jeffrey Fayman, A Temple in the Clouds." -- Igloo

Inspired by Popol Vuh and originally released in a tiny pressing of 550 on vinyl from the inimitable Acid Mothers Temple frontman. Guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and leader of Acid Mothers Temple, Kawabata Makoto expresses all his mantric cosmical vocations and spins them into space sonorities! He took inspiration from the Popol Vuh album Hosianna Mantra during his visit to A Silent Place headquarters in late Winter 2006. A few days later, back in Japan, Makoto recorded the Hosanna Mantra album at the Acid Mothers Temple between March 12th and 13th using electric guitar, bouzouki, and sitar. The result is this new fantastic sound coming from the cosmos. A simple gem of crystalline beauty. Licensed from A Silent Place.
