Premsheela
Premsheela Didi, as she is fondly called, learned music for more than ten years from her principal music guru, the late Devi Karunamayee of Sri Aurobindo Ashram – Delhi Branch. Under her golden wings and with the spiritual orientation of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Premsheela assimilated deep foundations of both classical and devotional music. She has been working in educational fields for over 15 years.
As an early childhood educator in music, she specializes in writing, composing and singing children songs. Inspired by her engagement with her young students, Tumtana has been created for parents and children to enjoy music and songs specifically created for them.
Tumtana is dedicated to Karuna Didi, who kept the child in her alive forever…….
The Mother
Mirra Alfassa (21 February 1878 – 17 November 1973), known to her followers as The Mother, was a spiritual guru, an occultist and a collaborator of Sri Aurobindo, who considered her to be of equal yogic stature to him and called her by the name “The Mother”. She founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and established Auroville as a universal town; she was an influence and inspiration to many writers and spiritual personalities on the subject of Integral Yoga.
Karuna Didi
Born into a family of artists and educators, Sri Karunamayee was a lifelong resident of New Delhi, India. Music saturated her life from her childhood and throughout her professional career as a performer, educator and spiritual singer. She offered her music for over fifty years as a member of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram – Delhi Branch, a spiritual community dedicated to the teachings of the great Indian mystic, Sri Aurobindo, and his spiritual collaborator respectfully known as The Mother.
