Translated, "Gayatri Mantra" means, "Through the coming and going, and the balance of life, the essential nature, which illumines existence, remains. May all perceive through subtle intellect the brilliance of enlightenment." This simple prayer is the core of Deva Premal & Miten's musical mission, and underlies their intention in creating and releasing this video: "Our vision is that this most powerful and ancient prayer be shared with as many people as possible during the coming year - Please send it to everyone you know - friends, family and acquaintances - let's share the Gayatri and heal the world today!"
"The Gayatri Mantra Around the World" serves as a moving document of an ancient prayer's lasting relevance and power - and the worldwide reach of Deva Premal & Miten's message.
