Ma
Yoga Neelam
Ma Neelam met Osho for the first time in
1969 during Osho’s visit to Ludhiana after which her inner journey
and love affair with Osho and his work blossomed. In
1972, Osho himself initiated her in sannyas after which she regularly
visited the Pune Ashram until 1981. When Osho left for USA, She also
stayed four years from 1982 to 1985 in Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, USA in
His commune.
She came with Osho back to India in Nov 1985 and was then appointed
by Him as his personal secretary for India and when Osho came back to
His commune in Pune, Ma Neelam continued to work as His secretary, taking
care of His work in India. Osho appointed her as a member of Inner Circle
and when He left his body in 1990, She continued staying in the commune
in Pune until 1999, doing the work given to her by Osho. From
1996-1999, each year she went to eight different countries of Europe
to lead meditation events until she left the commune in 1999. Since
then she has been extensively touring across the length and breadth
of India conducting meditation camps and lovingly sharing her insights
gained from being with Osho.
As
asked by Osho himself on many occasions,she has been intensely involved
in creating an Oasis for fellow travellers in the Himalayas . Osho Nisarga,
Dharamsala, is the result of that effort and the longing to create and
share a space where seekers may go deeper within with commitment for
self growth with a spirit of joy and celebration.
In
an answer to a question from Ma Yoga Neelam in 1976, Osho said: "I
have known her long enough, not only in this life but in other lives
also. Her path is certain, that it is of love. Through love she is going
to achieve. Through love she is going to be. Her direction is absolutely
clear. Love is her meditation."

Born Again Meditations.

Sw.
Purnanand Bharti (Baba)
Baba
is known since long time by many lovers and seekers from India and around
the world. He came to Osho in 1977. Osho gave him the name Sw. Purnanand
Bharti.
After some visits in Poona and a year of total intense meditation he
found realisation of the Inner Self. It took him months to integrate
this spontaneous happening in his body and finally the touch of Osho
in an energy darshan was helpful to complete this process. Since that
time Baba was and is surrounded by many friends who enjoy his presence
and his guidance.
About 12 years ago he started travelling also in Europe and Australia.
Mainly German, Italian and Australian friends are waiting for his yearly
visits and celebrating his presence and the meditation (also in India).
One could state his message in following words: Silence and Meditation,
enjoying the Self.
He is leading many meditation retreats, 3 to 4 daily silent sittings,
personal advices and the spontaneous celebrations with Kirtan allowing
many possibilities for deep experiences of one's inner nature. Being
in his presence and in meditation is a most beautiful and joyous way
of touching one's own depth and true nature.
His hometown is Indore where also his family is living. In 2002 the
new ashram at Indore countryside was opened and developed into a beautiful
oasis of nature and silence. To give space for more expansion this Ashram
was sold in 2007 and a big place in Gujarat at the Narmada River was
bought to create an opportunity for many people to live there in harmony
and truth and meditation.
