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."

Swami
Prem Jayadip
Swami
Prem Jayadip is interested since childhood in questions like “Who
am i?” “What is truth?” “Who is experiencing?”
Early travels and the work in movie business opened dimensions beyond
his German background. “Who is responsible?” let him on the
path of politics, which ended in the realization, “If I have at
all a right to change anything, it is myself.” After a brush with
Sufism and the Gurdjieff system, Osho became his master in “inner
and outer worlds” or “Zorba the Buddha”.
Acting
on Osho’s request since 1981 he fully devoted himself to the work
and subsequent leadership of His communes. Not biting Osho’s fingers,
but looking where they are pointing, Jayadip studied and practiced Buddhism,
Taoism, Hinduism, Essence work, Psychology, the Integral approach and
more. From 1986 he worked in the Pune community, supporting his stay
through tour-guiding in the Himalayas and Tibet. After being production
manager of the Osho Times, he joined the School for Centering.
In 2003 retreated to the Indian Himalayas as a “modern monk”.
Since 2000 he supports people in Taiwan in their quests through seminars
and sessions. He continues to walk “the path of paradox”,
which unites outer and inner.

for over 30 years. She taught Dance and Fitness for the Witness in Poona
for 15 years. Her approach to the body and spirit being one, has been
influenced by her continual somatic exploration , gratefully inspired
by many different practices and teachers and by being in the presence
of spiritual masters Osho and Poonjaji. Her own healing journeys greatly
influence the contents in her teaching and sharing. Dancing for health,
to be whole, to be creative and to be real, she healed from a life threatening
accident.
Continued diligent studies in the somatic field, combining her knowledge
of play and how we learn- which she brings from her experience as a
professional teacher and a fitness instructor and a spiritual orientation
are navigation tools she includes in the work. She creates playful,
inspiring and safe environments in which you will discover how you experience
and remember what is already within the body and make friends with your
own moving being.
