The Gayatri Mantra is the most endearing and enduring vocal purification ceremony of all time.

Its words are the fluid poetry of an ecstatic soul intimately connected to the Divine; it has the power of miracles. It has been recorded dozens of times, and chanted by millions every day. But rarely, if ever, has it been set to music and sung with such spiritually uplifting grace.

German-born vocalist Premal has the kind of voice to which all singers aspire: pure, warmly resonant, boasting both perfect enunciation and respectable range. Weaving her exquisitely lovely 'instrument' through Miten's sumptuous and sensual chordal textures, Premal blesses us with this rendition of this most ancient of mantras that is quite possibly the most moving ever made. Its reverence and yearning is so comforting, so inspiring that one is tempted to program one's disc-changer to repeat it endlessly.

Each track is a celebration and will uplift you and your practice using it as music for yoga or whatever other discipline you enjoy.

The fact is that Deva Premal's voice is incredible and the backing track will lift your spirit and your heart.

It is difficult to choose a favourite album when it comes to Premal's offerings but this one comes a very close contender.
