   Tristan Bourdeau de Fontenay to All   
   Mantra Artists Launch Into Mainstream On

   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   The number one album on iTunes and Amazon World Music Charts and number two on   
   Billboard New Age Charts, Songs for the Sangha is now being released to radio   
   with a special radio edit of the single Strong My Roots and an additional 2015   
   radio version of    
   their world famous hit, Gayatri Mantra.   
      
   With over 300,000 social media fans and a celebrity fan base that includes   
   everyone from Cher to the Dalai Lama, Deva Premal & Miten saw their version of   
   the Gayatri Mantra covered by Cher on her Farewell Tour of 2003, with the   
   track featured in the    
   Warner Music DVD.   
      
   Coinciding with the release of the new album, and the single Strong My Roots,   
   in an interview with The Insider Edition, Deva Premal and Miten explained that   
   their mantra origins, with hits such as the Gayatri Mantra, have strengthened   
   their following    
   within the world-wide yoga community and are now reaching out to a wider   
   audience.   
      
   Miten said, "When Mantras are sung, you are invoking a certain quality into   
   your life...mantras find us...they become good friends in times of stress -   
   and in today's troubled world, they are a great support. That's why we are   
   reaching out."   
      
   Deva Premal explained that the new song, whilst also containing English lyrics   
   has the same healing effect, celebrating the roots and wings of life, because   
   it includes the ancient Sanskrit chant, Om Ganapati Mantra "...it is vital in   
   our existence to    
   have a connection to both polarities..."   
      
   Miten continued, "We tried to reflect the concept of roots and wings in the   
   song, in the swampy funk of the instrumentation...and in the great banusri   
   solo (Indian bamboo flute), played by the maestro Manose, which takes us to   
   the heavens...!"   
      
   The new single Strong My Roots, is being delivered to radio stations across   
   America this week, in a radio friendly edit, along with a 2015 radio edit of   
   the classic Gayatri Mantra.
