Deva Premal & Miten's World-Mantra Tour 2010 has included over 60 concerts, with visits to Australia, Scotland, England, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, France, Spain, Sweden, Russia – and a whirlwind USA tour with fellow chant master Krishna Das, which took them to 15 US cities in 22 days.

They have received accolades from such luminaries as best-selling author Eckhart Tolle, who calls their music "pure magic." Hollywood icon Cher cites Deva's album, The Essence, as "My favorite CD to do yoga to." His Holiness the Dalai Lama, when hearing Deva & Miten at a private audience, exclaimed, "Beautiful music, beautiful…!" Motivation guru, Anthony Robbins describes their music as "Passionate and powerful". Their CDs have reached sales of over 900,000 units.

The practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras has long been a part of the Yogic tradition in India and Tibetan Buddhism. In recent years, like Yoga, chanting has moved into the Western mainstream, where it has been embraced as a joyful path to ease the heart and quiet the mind. Deva points out: "When you sing mantras, you enter a state of peaceful, vibrant and replenishing silence. Basically, that's why all religions and traditions have made so much of chanting in their rituals." She also notes that chanting mantras can be healing on many levels: "The Sanskrit language is energy based - it is sound medicine. It has a harmonizing and balancing effect on the energy centers in the body, both physically, and metaphysically."

During their tours, Deva and Miten are accompanied by Nepalese flute maestro Manose. Born in Kathmandu, Manose began his musical journey with a rigorous training in classical Indian raga. Later he brought the sound of the bansuri to many musical genres, from jazz to Celtic to being a founding member of the most popular rock band in Kathmandu. Since meeting Deva Premal and Miten in San Francisco, during a recording session in 2002, Manose has performed extensively with them and is featured on many of their recordings, including their 2010 CD/DVD release, In Concert.
