Product Description
From Amazon.com
German-born Deva Premal is a certified diva of the new age, having traversed the requisite Eastern spiritual paths, communing in Indian and following the late guru Bhaghwan Shree Rajneesh, also known as Osho. While her last CD, Dakshina, had a bit more of a pop-Enyaesque sensibility, Moola Mantra is a much more meditative affair as Premal sings a single, 15-word Sanskrit mantra over the course of six lushly smooth Indian fusion arrangements. The disc is something of a mantra super session, with kirtan crooner Jai Uttal playing dotar, Nepalese bansuri flute player Manose, pianist Kit Walker, sitarist Peter Van Gelder (who played with Grace Slick and the Great Society) and esraj player Benjy Wertheimer. They're among the ensemble providing the patchouli-scented ornamentations that surround Premal's serene voice. With producer Ben Leinbach's detailed arrangements and Premal's overdubbed vocal choirs, Moola Mantra recalls similar Hindu adaptations by Rasa more than any other Premal CD. Like Rasa's Hans Christian, Leinbach is a capable multi-instrumentalist with a gift for trance grooves that don't tire and evocative instrumental touches like the tremolo guitar bleeding into Uttal's dotar solo on "Part II." The music is a languid float down an endless stream, but the repetition of the mantra, even with inventive melodic variation, can get tiresome. Premal tries to have it both ways, mantra as art and as spiritual practice. --John Diliberto

A Blessing to the Listener, Sep 10 2007
By Vicky Thompson "New Connexion Journal" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sings the Moola Mantra (Audio CD)
It is said that the benefits of the Moola Mantra, a Sanskrit mantra, include the revitalization of all cells with divine energy and blessings for a happy life. Bestselling singer Deva Premal's rich and entrancing voice is a blessing to the listener. Premal sings the Moola Mantra over the course of five smooth and relaxing Indian fusion arrangements, featuring Jai Uttal, Nepalese flautist Manose, Kit Walker and Benjy Wertheimer (a Pacific Northwest favorite). Premal offers an expression of oneness honoring all spiritual paths, religions, creeds and traditions.-[...].

Very relaxing!, Oct 1 2007
By Jody Porta "MassageMama" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sings the Moola Mantra (Audio CD)
I have almost all of Deva Premal's CDs and love them all. Her voice is haunting on this CD as she sings mantra for "unity-in-diversity". I have played this CD for my clients during their massages and everyone enjoys it. I often tell my clients that they don't have to understand the mantra to feel the music and compassion of her words.I would encourage anyone to buy this CD but stay away from her CDs that have Miten singing on them.

Soul Soothing!, Sep 24 2007
By Linda Stoner "dolphin lover" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sings the Moola Mantra (Audio CD)
Another soul stirring cd from Deva Premal! Perfect for yoga, for meditation or just to soothe you after a hectic day! I admit that I was doubtful of a cd of just a mantra, but if you loved "Embrace", or any other Deva Premal recordings, you will so enjoy this!
Listmania!
