As Deva notes, Tibetan Mantras for Turbulent Times "originally arose out of a desire of mine to chant mantras together with Gyuto monks – those precious souls who have devoted their whole lives to the practice.Their incredible voices and the intense vibration they create, infused with such a deep immersion into the holy sound, has always inspired and intrigued me."
Deva and the Gyuto Monks are joined by Grammy Award Winner David Darling on cello, Kit Walker (producer of Love is Space and Embrace) on keyboards, and Nepalese bansuri maestro Manose, enhancing the deep silence that the mantras carry and creating a potent sound healing journey.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Om Mani Padme Hum is a sacred mantra and chant that holds profound meaning in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern philosophies. The Deva Premal version of the chant is a beautiful rendition that captures the essence and power of the mantra. The chant means "salutations to the jewel in the lotus," and each word has its significance and symbolism. The first word, "Om," represents the universal sound of creation and consciousness. "Mani" means jewel or essence, and "Padme" means lotus or purity. "Hum" is a powerful word that represents unity and interconnectedness.
The essence of the chant is the union of the individual and the universe, symbolized by the jewel and the lotus. It is a reminder that we are all connected, and everything is interrelated. The lotus represents purity, and the jewel represents the essence of who we are. The chant encourages us to connect with our higher selves, which is the jewel within us. The Deva Premal version of the mantra is a beautiful and soulful rendition that captures the essence and power of the chant. The music is meditative, and her voice brings an incredible level of serenity and peacefulness to the listener.
