Owner of Divine Chants of Ganesh CD


Uma Mohan - All Voices of Divine Chants of Ganesh

  • Uma Mohan was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India into a family of musicians, she was trained from her childhood by her mother and Guru P.L.Saraswathy Ram in South Indian classical music. She learned several compositions of her great-great grandfather Mahathma Sri Neelakanta Sivan – an enlightened Saint from Padmanabhapuram, Kerala. Her father (late) K.V.Ram a renowned industrialist from Chennai was her inspiration and strength at all times. She has an elder brother R. Ravikrishnan and an elder sister Rama Chandiramani. She was schooled at Rosary Matriculation-Chennai and obtained her Masters in Commerce from the Madras University.
  • Uma Mohan is also an artist, dramatist, dancer, poet and writer. She married
    T. Mohan Rao, a businessman and social worker from Chennai on 27 June 1990. They have two daughters Krupa Rakesh and Kruti Mohan. Her family is very supportive to her work and her intention to bring home the essence of the Vedas making it accessible to every person.
  •  At this point, her interest in the Vedas took over. Inspired by her guide Dr. Shankara Bhagavadpada, a nuclear scientist, scholar and astrologer, who motivated her to study the Vedas, she embarked on this Vedic Voyage. She started coaching a group to chant the Vedas for various spiritual gatherings conducted by the “Oneness University”, which on popular demand materialized as the Sacred Chants Series of albums.
  •  Her albums have a concept and enable one to feel God as an experience. Her goal is mainly to take the positive vibrations of the scriptures to every home and into every child’s life. She endeavours to mix different kinds of music with the regular rendering of Vedas, ceremoniously maintaining the authenticity yet giving different flavours by enhancing each song, sprinkling it with delicate harmonies and adding a gentle western touch, making the songs and scriptures more enjoyable and universal.
