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.

The lyrics of Deva Premal's song Perfection, Teyata Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Soha, is a mantra, a powerful prayer or incantation that can be recited to bring about spiritual or psychological transformation. The meaning of the mantra is typically presented as "Gone, Gone, Gone beyond, Gone altogether," which suggests that it is a reminder of the transitory nature of existence and a call to transcend the limitations of the human condition.
The first part of the mantra, "Gate Gate," means "Gone, Gone." This repetition serves to emphasize the idea that all things are impermanent and will eventually pass away. The next part, "Paragate," means "Gone beyond," suggesting that there is something beyond the physical world that we can aspire to.
The final part of the mantra, "Bodhi Soha," means "Rejoice in the enlightenment." By reciting this mantra, we are affirming our desire to seek spiritual enlightenment and expressing our joy at the prospect of achieving it. The overall message of the mantra is one of hope and aspiration, encouraging us to look beyond the limitations of our current existence and strive for something greater.
