As a vocalist, musician, and poetess, Mira uniquely shares her inner journey. Her voice is filled with pure devotion and sincerity and her percussive rhythms are captivating and inspiring.
Mira began her exploration into Mysticism and Indian spirituality at a young age. In her early twenties, it became apparent to her that devoting her life to the upliftment of humanity through Love and devotional chanting was her true calling.
For several years, Mira traveled with Bhagavan Das, and became an active figure in the Kirtan (devotional chanting) community. Her natural resonance with East Indian culture is easily recognized in her spirited voice and passionate musical expression. Mira has recorded on many well known chanting CDs, displaying her talents on cajon, kartals (finger cymbals), kaimini (south Indian bells), and as a vocalist.
In 2006, Mira released her debut album entitled A Living Prayer.
She worked with accomplished musician and producer Philippo Franchini to create a beautiful offering of sacred chanting and soulful spiritual hymns.
In 2008, Mira married longtime friend and chant artist David Newman (Durga Das). Their Union has been an inspiration to many as a reflection of pure love, devotion, honor, and joy. Together they travel extensively singing Kirtan and sharing the spiritual, devotional, meditative and musical aspects of yoga.
Mira's ethereal vocals and rhythmic percussion create an atmosphere for healing, joy, and openness of heart. |
