 Ma Anand Divo To whom it may concern : Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is my spiritual Master and the most essential of what he has passed me he has passed through his silence. According to me, silence is the only road really worthwile to follow. Bhagwan's meditations are usefull to enforce this way and the whole commune is a loving alternative of being together. It is a big opportunity for the whole world and it would really be good if we can live this love at Rajneeshpuram as a living example for the world. Love |
