Songs Of Tara
by Deva Premal; Nawang Khechog; Wah!; Jamyang Sakya; Bhakta

Tara is known in Tibet as "She Who Liberates" - a compassionate bodhisattva who delivers us from fear and protects us from harm.

With SONGS OF TARA, Deva Premal, Wah!, and many of the brightest stars of devotional chant raise their voices in celebration of this beloved "Mother of all Buddhas."

Inspired by the classical homage to the 21 emanations of Tara (the most widely-sung text in Tibet), this album is a meditative collection of mantras, chants, and praises to help listeners connect to the energy of this swift and heroic goddess.
Includes modern and traditional devotions to Green Tara, who leaps to our aid when we are in need, and White Tara, who offers longevity so we may have more time to serve others in this world.
Includes music from Deva Premal, Nawang Khechog, Wah!, Jamyang Sakya (the female head of the Buddhist Sakya lineage), Bhakta, and more.

About the Artist
In contrast to the rock 'n' roll lifestyle of Miten, Deva Premal was raised in an atmosphere of mantra and spiritual discipline.

Born in N?rnberg, Germany in 1970 of a mystic/artist father and a musically talented mother, she was taught violin, piano and received voice training. By the time she was five years old, she was already chanting the Gayatri Mantra daily, and since that time she continues to integrate meditation into her life.

She has studied Shiatsu, Reflexology, CranioSacral Therapy and Massage, but music remains her first love. The influence of Indian classical music is evident in her singing, although she has never attempted to copy or steal from the tradition

. "It just comes naturally, as if I'd heard it all before, in another life."

Among the numerous letters of appreciation she has received since the release of her albums, many describe how her music has been used to accompany and enhance the sacred passages of birth and death. In fact, Elisabeth K?bler-Ross, the world famous author of On Death And Dying, requested that Miten and Deva bring their music to accompany her passing. "We have played for many people," says Deva, "but to play personally for Elizabeth was something I will never forget.?
