After touring non-stop for sixteen years, and with CD sales of well over a half-million, Deva and Miten are living proof that the power of mantra is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.
Deva and Miten’s music is an expression of spiritual devotion, through song and chant. The couple has been living and playing together since 1991, releasing a string of acclaimed CDs along the way. The openness and honesty in which they share their lives and their music has touched the hearts of thousands of seekers throughout the world.
“Our music is born out of meditation and a celebration of life. It’s not a matter of entertaining people,” says Miten.
Deva and Miten’s offering to the world is supported by a simple yet elegant vision: Everybody with a voice can sing, and everyone with a breath in their body can experience their divinity.
"Our nourishment and life’s work is to create gatherings around the planet where people can come together in celebration and meditation," says Miten.

Background
Deva and Miten first met in India, at the ashram of the controversial mystic, Osho. Their music arose from their love of their Guru, and through their experience of meditation in the ashram. Encouraged by Miten, who was responsible for the evening meditation music, Deva began singing harmony with him.
Deva later found her true expression through the rediscovery of the mantras she chanted as a child with her father in Germany. Now the Gayatri Mantra has become her constant companion. She and Miten even chanted it on CNBC News!
