“I swoon when I listen to The Three Jewels. And I am so grateful and delighted that you took the four divine qualities of love, compassion, joy, and peace, and turned them into such a beautiful song.”
Jack Kornfield
“The Three Jewels (Buddham Sharanam),” is a soul-stirring duet featuring Deva Premal alongside her beloved voice coach and friend, Nicki Wells. This track is deeply rooted in Buddhist tradition and sung in Pali, the ancient language of Gautama Buddha himself. The mantra embodies the profound significance of the Three Jewels: Buddham (the Buddha), Dhammam (the Teachings), and Sangham (the spiritual community), invoking a unique energetic force that awakens the essence of these foundational principles.
Reflecting on her experience, Deva shares, “I will always treasure the memory of recording this mantra as a duet with Nicki. She is an extraordinary singer, and I feel honoured to call her my teacher. Her composition carries such deep reverence, resonating with the essence of the teachings.” Deva dedicates this heartfelt mantra to Nicki’s baby son, Orion, who was born during the making of this album, imbuing the track with an even greater sense of love and connection.
“The Three Jewels (Buddham Sharanam)” is featured on Deva’s upcoming album, The Inevitable Blossoming of the Heart which is available for pre-order starting May 16, 2025, and will officially release on June 6, 2025. 🪷💫
