Deva Pramada

Swami Deva Pramada (roughly translates to "divine contentment") was a name assumed by British cellist and bass violist Michael Edwards (1948—2010) circa the mid-to-late-1970s after he joined a New Age religious movement of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (1931—1990), also known as Osho. Pramada lived in one of the Rajneesh communes near Herringswell, Suffolk, and traveled to India, Germany, and the USA. He was a proactive member of the sect and participated in several musical projects organized by the Osho International Foundation, including the 1990 ambient/New Age album recorded by Terra Incognita (3). In 1992, he produced and composed music for 9370638, a spoken word suite in collaboration with actor Tim Brophy.
