He began his music career in 70's as opening for groups like Fleetwood Mac, Lou Reed and Ry Cooder. The Beatles had a great influence on his music, but the turning point was the meeting with controversial mystic Osho in India, where he lived for several years in meditation and work for self-realisation. There he met Deva Premal and encouraged her to sing. Together they recorded pieces for compilations entitled generally as Music From the World of Osho.

Miten's music is focused on a spiritual path and meditation. The style is generally pop/rock with elements from all over the world. His songs and lyrics are joyful and sensual. He records solo albums but on every album his wife Deva Premal sings with him, whether she is mentioned as co-artist or not.

Blown Away
Miten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came with a question in my head
And somewhere down the line
It faded with time
I came looking outside
Never realising
The treasure within

Now there's nothing to do

And there's nowhere to go
And there's nothing I can say
When you follow your heart
You get carried away

And I'm blown away
Yes I'm blown away
In the light of your pure love

I came with a question in my mind
And somewhere down the line
I left it behind
I was walking in my sleep
I got a big surprise
When I looked in your eyes

There was nothing to do
There was nowhere to go
There was nothing I could say
I followed my heart
And I got carried away

And I'm blown away

Yes I'm blown away
In the light of your pure love

Love, in its purest form, can illuminate the path towards self-discovery and a better understanding of ourselves.

Line by Line Meaning

I came with a question in my head
I arrived with uncertainty in my thoughts.

And somewhere down the line
And eventually, as events unfolded,

It faded with time
The apprehension waned with time,

I came looking outside
I embarked on my search externally,

Never realising
Unaware that,

The treasure within
The treasure I sought was within me.

Now there's nothing to do
At the moment, there's no action to take,

And there's nowhere to go
And nowhere new to explore,

And there's nothing I can say
There aren't any words to convey what's happening,

When you follow your heart
When you listen to your innermost desire and intuition,

You get carried away
You feel swept up in it all, overtaken and consumed.
