Deva Premal and Miten - Gayatri Mantra:-

Thanks Gatito.
That was going to be one of the next few I was going to post. 
I have seen her perform that one live. It transports you into a world of stillness… the energy in that auditorium with 500 or 600 people singing together is unimaginable.
It was funny, at first people were not sure if they should applaud after her first song, did not feel right… we were all deep into stillness and enjoying the energy of the mantras… and had to pull ourselves out of a state of samadhi to applaud… However we are conditioned to applaud… else the artist may not feel appreciated… so after the first song she said not to applaud… and something to the effect (http://www.shunyamproductions.com/devapremal.html)…
experience the performance without the customary applause. This creates a deep silence, a connection between performers and audience that invites stillness and introspection. Says Miten, “The true purpose of our music is to awaken a longing in the heart for that which is omnipresent: the experience of silence and meditation. It’s not about entertainment - it is simply our spiritual practice.”
Made it so much easier to enjoy her and Krishna Das after that.
In hindsight, I suppose I’d have been suprised if you’d never come across her.
The story that I’ve heard about this song/mantra is that her father sang her into this world with it and she sang him out. It’s a beautiful and poignant story, which should be true, even if it isn’t.
I’m looking forward to future episodes (and I promise not to post any more spoilers 
).
Wow! What a beautiful story… I agree, it should be true even if it may not be.
Please feel free to post any songs that inspires you. I can change the topic header to songs that inspire us… I would love to hear what touches you and others as it may touch me too.
Confession time… 
When I was first introduced to western kirtans by Kirtanman at the forums, I could not listen to them because of the western pronunciation of the Sanskrit mantras I had grown up with. They hurt my ears. In the process I missed the devotion in the artists. But I soon got past that and now I get lost in the devotion and stillness that flows in their voice and music.
All of the songs are great but the first one rocks the most dear Shanti
Thank you for sharing both<3
Much love,
Ananda

Ananda, love the song Ah Jaa Tenu Akhiyan Udeek Diyan ~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Someone has suggested this song fits a painting of mine so I had posted the song along with the painting…
http://the-journey-inward.blogspot.com/2011/01/bride.html
chit-ananda51, what a lovely song…
“Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day”
Ahhh Yes I stumbled into that song on your website sometime ago Totally forgot
The story about Deva Premal and her father is true: -
http://www.devapremalmiten.com/articles/my-journey-with-the-gayatri-mantra
“When my mother was pregnant with me, their welcome was to sing the Gayatri Mantra throughout the pregnancy.”
“I feel so grateful that I could be there until the moment of his death. We were singing the Gayatri Mantra to him until the end and so the circle is complete: He accompanied the beginning of my life with it and I the ending of his. I am also very touched by my family…how they were all joining Miten and I with the singing for him and how we are totally in tune with each other about how to deal with everything now…”
And here are a couple more to add to the list :-
