101 Paseo de San Antonio,
San Jose, California
Join Deva Premal & Miten with Manose and their
international band for a deep immersion into the power of mantra, with Deva’s
golden voice and Miten’s songs of love and gratitude carrying us beyond our
daily worries - a celebration of open hearts, moving into a timeless space
together. Evenings will feature mantras from their best selling recent release,
DEVA, including the transcendental Seven Chakra Gayatri Mantra.
Mantra has gone mainstream, and Deva Premal & Miten
have been on the leading edge of this global chant phenomenon for over 20
years, propelling the ancient healing power of mantra chanting into the 21st
century as they travel the globe with Nepalese bansuri maestro Manose and their
international band.
Their transformational events have become legendary among
millions of meditators and yoga practitioners around the world, with sell out
concerts and a string of acclaimed CDs topping World and New Age charts at
iTunes, Amazon and Billboard.
Their blend of sensual, groove based, east-meets-west
style of music has attracted the attention of superstars, celebrities, and
world teachers - even the Dalai Lama is known to include their chants in his
private time. And they have also taken their mantras to prisons (such as San
Quentin), homeless shelters and facilities for autistic children, where
chanting offers an effortless path to ease the heart and quiet the mind.
Miten: “The Wings of Mantra gatherings are not concerts
in the accepted sense. We don't see ourselves as entertainers or ‘performers’.
Our music is created as a communal experience, to lighten the load of the
day-today existence and to open the door to a deeper, more profound experience
of meditation. It's all about participation. Sing! Chant! Laugh! Cry! It's all
part of the mix when we come together to meditate."
The Wings of Mantra World Tour 2019 will feature the
Seven Chakra Gayatri Mantra from their latest album, DEVA along with Miten's
songs of spiritual awakening, taken from his TEMPLE AT MIDNIGHT album.
This planet is shaking and trembling. It is obvious that
we cannot wait for peace to be delivered from 'the outside'. Deva & Miten
are proof that chanting these ancient mantras opens the door to an inner
sanctum where endless peace reigns.
Deva: “Every theatre becomes a temple when we gather to
give thanks through sacred chant. Our voices, ecstatic and harmonious, provide
the soil for transformational experience. And it always happens. Mantra
chanting never fails to uplift the tired spirit, no matter how dis-connected we
may feel. In Sanskrit, ‘man’ means mind and ‘tra’ means to be free from, so
‘mantra’ literally translated, is a bridge between the busy, chattering mind
and inner peace. This has been the essence of my personal journey with music
and meditation. From song into silence.”
Deva Premal, Manose and Miten's band features:
Joby Baker (bass/vocals/keyboards). Rishi (percussion), and
Spencer Cozens (keyboards).
Cost: $35 - $108
