Osho’s Companion – More than a footnote in History
Shantam asks why was the death of Osho’s companion, Nirvano (previously Vivek) so hushed up in 1989. What happened to her? She had served Osho with great care over many years…
(This is a reworked version of a previous controversial Shantam post from 2009 )
I have just set a candle and lit it near Osho´s photo - at the same time this text is pushing me inside wanting to come out. I am aware that this may be a difficult area for some of our fellow travellers, and a few will treat me as a traitor, but somehow life wants to release the demons under what has always appeared to be a cover up to me, so that the angels of life could breath again.
Shiva and Parvati, Vishnu and Laxmi, Rama and Sita, Krishna and Radha; Gudiya and Rajneesh they are all part of the alchemical writ of a startling spiritual history and love.
But Nirvano and Osho? Now on December 9th of this year Nirvano will be dead 24 years by my reckoning. Yet Ma Prem Nirvano – who knows the cause of her death and why she was cremated in the wee hours of the night? At that time, 1989, even when an ordinary sannyasin passed and was part of the ashram scene, they were given a grand send off, a veritable death celebration. And for everyone so celebrated, the press department gave demonstration with big press releases to Indian and International press sources.
Some (but not all) of the main ashram players of that time are still alive. Without doubt they decided it was in the best interests of Osho and his movement to cremate her without informing anybody. But why? We have no record of their reasoning, or what must have been perhaps a divided discussion at the time. And what did Osho say? He was after all still alive, and seemed pretty shocked according to some. In fact according to some, this is when he “gave up” and began the progress towards his own passing some weeks later.
If her death was related to depression/mania – all well and good, but why not be out front. The whole of humanity is a little manic/depressive. No shame in it at all. And within sannyas arguably a higher rate than in the general population!
Why do we want to create unnecessary doubt, etc around a Master of absolute Truth. Osho himself pulled away all the masks from the icons of History. Surely it is unfair to his memory to somehow shadow the memory of his beloved caretaker.
I request here those who knew the plain facts of her death, and also the decision to cremate in such a hurry, to come forward and tell the story in its most honest form. And now on the 24th anniversary of her death, 9th December, which is in a few days time, to also celebrate, just as some of us do the other great dates of the Osho calendar.
Shantam
What nonsense.
Yet more of your facile prattle.
I knew about about this within twenty four hours, and not by phone.
Was living 5000 miles from Poona at the time.
I am surprised to see the reworked version of my four years old post.
If i write something again about those eventful days around Osho, may be it will be quite different.
So in a way, i don’t feel much identified with the contents of this main thread.
From time to time, i get a thought to give a tip to British media to do a invetigative story about Nirvano. A British girl becomes one of the closest disciple of Osho; the controversial sex guru in the eyes of the world and then suddenly disappears from the Radar. Not a single main stream media gets smell of such a great story, i think the bosses did a remarkable job to cover up the whole incident.
“Osho’s closest aid commit suicide or die an unatural death” is worth a story.
My feeling is Osho was so fragile and sick during all those months. As i have heard, many times he has mentioned something like, ” He is sleeping 23 hours a day, just to collect this much energy to be among His people.”
Normal human being feels like dying just with fever or cold, whereas Osho had America Given posion in His system, which was eating each limb.
So i am really sure, Osho did not have much energy to deal with the mental and emotional problems of his closest aids.
What i am also very sure, and almost every one who was in the ashram at that time can rectify that Nirvano was dating Jayesh at that time. What kind of chemistry and emotional turmoil this relation can bring, I can only refer Linda Goodman’s book Love signs to read about Aquarious Man, Pisces Woman!
So my feeling is it is Jayesh’s handy work to make the show running as if nothing has happened.
This trend is still the same.
Well I can’t swallow your astrological theories SP, for I am a Virgo with my moon in gemini and we are very sceptical!
“… why she was cremated in the wee hours of the night?”
“Wee”? Surely, this piece must have been reworked by Lokesh? Or if this is indeed Shantam’s original choice of words, would it be right to conclude then, that Lokesh has exerted a major and significant influence on Shantam’s writing?
It would be a change for the better, but I doubt it.
Memories….
I remember the time we posted remarks on Sannyasnews, and then asked for other people’s opinions. Boy those were great times weren’t they?
Osho seemed to have really sussed us all out by leaving us so many opinions to discuss. Gosh yes, no, I mean really. What I loved best about those days of typing effortlessly to myself, was how , and this is the important bit, that when I sat down in front of a computer screen I could feel so utterly confronted by the typewriter and then take complete responsibility for my responses, alone, with no one else around. Tidy and in the right place, and without any chaotic feelings that could lead to melt down.
Those days of typing back then , really made me feel so vulnerable and really helped me open up, much more than ever before and without any cost or actual interactions.
Gosh yes, I mean after those early encounter groups ,followed by hiumming to oneself, there was nothing like sitting in front of a flickering screen convincing myself how much I had changed… and actually having to wait 24 hours for an opinion gave me time to well, erm you know, talk to myself in a sort of know nothing state.
I miss those days. Anyone disagree? Yeah lets go for it .. toatl online disagreement that would be really like the old days., but safer. Anyway I have to go now, back to suburbia as I have a multiple personality disorder that only mowing the lawn can cure.
Cheers.
As far as history goes, I would say it was enough to say Vivek was a complex English girl who suffered from bipolar depression for many years, including the time she was Osho’s consort. She was treated in the UK for this at one point after the Ranch. Vivek never played the role of caretaker in Osho’s life after the return to Pune two, Anando seemed to fulfil that role.
Why Osho felt to appoint Vivek as his caretaker in the early seventies is up to him, but it seems, as some of his other appointments not altogether wise, but I am prepared to accept he was “working” on certain types intensely, and maybe the bi-polar condition has potential.
As for her death, well, it is of course not unusual in a bi polar depression for the circumstances of death to be clouded, as self-destructive forces, not always so visible may be involved, including the cessation of lithium voluntarily, and this being replaced with other drugs.
Vivek had a small number of lovers, and sadly they were all ambitious in the temporal sense of wanting to be near the centre of power as they saw it, Amrito and Jayesh for example. They must have seen it as a way to get closer to Osho’s energy, or some such nonsense. But it did Vivek no good at all.
Whatever her mental state, Vivek served Osho very well for many years, and one assumes to his satisfaction. She was careful about his food, and protected his sleep and general temporal well being, it would seem very well.
For that she at least deserves a great deal of thanks by the sannyas community. I rarely agree with Shantam, but do agree she should have been at least given the regular send-off, and those who feel for her such as myself will give her the silent celebration she deserves on the 9th December.
Shantam states, ‘So in a way, i don’t feel much identified with the contents of this main thread.’ Yet it has his signature is scrawled all over it, whch just goes to show that change is not much at work in his life.
As it is, the article is a piece of nonsense and dumber than dub. It begins with a bit of sentimental tosh about lighting a candle in front of Osho’s photo and then it is down hill all the way. He asks, ‘But why?’ After stating the obvious…’Without doubt they decided it was in the best interests of Osho and his movement to cremate her without informing anybody.’ Hardly surprising when we have Osho promoting the new man, Zorba the Buddha, and then his girlfriend nips round the corner and ODs.
I only ever met Vivek twice and found her fascinating, like almost all the guys in the Ashram. She was a beautiful women. Now we have Shantam raking through the ashes trying to blame someone for her ufortunate death in order to further his lost cause. I’d say this is really scrapping the bottom of the shit pot and yes that sounds pretty disgusting.
Parmartha has supplied enough details about Vivek’s personal problems, all of which I was aware of. All things considered and taken into account there is little mystery about Vivek’s death, or for that matter any evidence of a clandestine cover up. Like Arpana, I was a long way away from events in Poona at the time but heard of her passing almost immediately…so where was the cover up…the news went global in 24 hours.
To top it off we have the current Shantam delivering this pearl of astrological wisdom…’What kind of chemistry and emotional turmoil this relation can bring, I can only refer Linda Goodman’s book Love signs to read about Aquarious Man, Pisces Woman!’ replete with excammation mark to add to the shock impact of such an insight. Shantam, you are a buffoon.
His conclussion runs thus, ‘So my feeling is it is Jayesh’s handy work to make the show running as if nothing has happened.
This trend is still the same.’ To imagine an adult human being having to refer to his feelings on such a matter defies belief and just goes to show that the old sannyasin adage about following one’s feelings can in fact lead one down a path that leaves you looking like a complete fool.
I am willing to challange Lokesh for a simple psychological test any where in the world, under any qualified psychologist.
Let us find out, who has the bigger ass in the brain.
His stupidity is so legendry, so many people have pissed on his dumb head and left the site with disgust.
You are just reacting, Swami.You have to learn to respnd. You are unsurrenered.
Why is Viveca’s picture still in (Jeyesh) pune resort wall?
Try to see it from the OIF management boys’ point of view if ya can Sunshine Fresh! Money’s in short supply, these days, ennit ? There aren’t so many punters going to the assram these days, are theere! So wot u gonna do if u were them? Spend the dosh on takin’ sum’ picture out ov da wall or keepin’ ya beer money pot topped up! I ask ya, it’s bleedin’ obviouus, ennit! Just leave it there Sunshine – don’t cost nuffin, duz it?
Its not.
Wot not? (A serious question).
Ha ha…’wots not?’ Its not.At the heart of everything.
A post too far.Wrong place for the remark..:)
Its not, Fresch!
The true story which has not been told is as follows..
Why does everyone close to Osho either die, disappear or go mad?
The conspiracy and cover-up runs deep.
Poor old Osho and Nirvano never had a chance, just more casualties in the plan for the New OshoWorld Order, initiated by the US illuminati on the ranch .
The global elite that controls the us government and all major religious franchises, had no intention of bypassing the lucrative sannyasin franchise. Sheela, formerly a simple indian girl was hobbled like a manchurian candidate, during her frequent designer label shopping trips, and since she already carried some of the requisite hybrid-alien-reptilian-human bloodline was brainwashed and turned into a feared Dragon woman.
If you look closely her eyes give her reptilian ancestry away, as she is turned into a meat robot for “the red dresses”.
Then Osho is kept isolated, drugged and forced to watch General Paton movies on repeat play with subliminal messaging to hand over power and control to his new overlords.
When the whole thing goes belly-up he manages to come to his senses and return to India. He knows that a takeover is being plotted so he has all the buildings painted black and pyramids built. (Reptilians are more drawn to shiny silvery scaly objects and repulsed by pointy things).
He wards off black magic mantras and suchlike, but the enemy is within, having infiltrated his entourage.
By chance one night Nirvano catches her lover Jayesh as he is shapeshifting back from a bathroom wall-climbing gecko into human form and then sadly, she is eaten alive!
Her death is quickly hushed up and the details spun, while it proves to be the final dagger in osho’s heart.
The war of attrition on him continues, with drugs, removal of teeth and the general sapping of his life force.
Before they implant alien DNA into him, which would have been the final solution, he takes the only way out, which is to leave his weakened body.
Unfortunately his enemies were closer than he knew and the slinky ones take over.
After his death all devotional energy and sites are removed, as lizards cannot feed off positive hearty vibes, and the ashram is turned into a ‘resort’ for sun-basking lizards!
A large portal is created in the basements of the pyramids where shapeshifting aliens can come through from the fourth dimension to gradually populate the “resort”.
“How can you tell who is really a reptile?” I hear you ask.
Not so easy, because to the untrained eye they appear to be normal sannyasins wearing ‘red dresses’ and meditating, still there are signs…
-a blood test (Has anyone ever seen any of the management’s tests?)
-favorite colour green or emerald isle descent
-like to lie motionless in the sun
-sunglasses (replicating hooded eyes)
-piercing hypnotic eyes, bald-headed
-cold-blooded, messianic, ‘slightly’ mad
-isolated from the masses, living in luxury, mixing with the megarich and linked to ‘posh’ english bloodlines.
There are also rival lizard gangs and corporates from other dimensions, who have been banned from the resort. They are fighting for their stake, to feed off the juicy sannyas energy and the high immoral earnings.
Who else has noticed this consprituality going on?
The truth is out there! Let’s build a databank!
Finally someone has come forward and exposed the truth. Now we know why the lizards like to hang out in the iguana side of town, waiting for a three point landing on their sticky tongues.
Dominic, I am intrigued by your interpretation of the events around Osho since the ranch. I am familiar with the reptile-bloodline theory. How come that you see things this way ? Intuition ? Actually I would like to share more of this with you…could you correspond with me via facebook ? My address there is: Karin Sara Mumu Paschen. Thanks and love, Mumuksha
again the ex-sannyasin baboons and failed disciples pour scorn on the Vedic science of starsigns!
to doubt the wisdom of linda goodmans` lovesigns?
and to lose belief in santa claus?
only the most unconscious,perverted and ignorant failed sannyasin etceteras wallowing in the isabgol-induced excrement of their mind-level minds could commit such a revolting act of destruction towards their ex- masters` vision!
in india we understand without any questions perfectly well the true and meaningful meaning of aquarious nefarious man with pisces crises woman!
not understanding this simple starsign-proven ultimate truth shows how far from enlightenment, lacking in heart, fire in the belly, and stuck in the mind and ego these depraved and judgmental western baboons are!
these failed western ex-baboons wish to destroy oshos vision and also our holy shrine by denying the rights of all saffron clad (hari om.hari om yahoo!) true disciples to understand the reality of oshos vision and legacy as an utterly perfect divine sattvic pukkah bharati holy saint on a lily-white throne versus an evi,l alcohol-drinking,chain-smoking Bollywood pantomime villain!
hari om!
yahoo!
zieg heil!
al quaeda!
fuck you!
Given baboons are a 1000 times more intelligent than anyone
in your fundamentalist santa clausian gang, I don’t really
understand why you calling westerners baboons is an insult
Baboons are actually interesting, unlike you lot.
again,the baboondog barks!
but the holy elephant simply walks past in enlightened awareness and bliss!
hahahaha!
you will certainly die a restful and fearful death as a result of your disgraceful punditry and low level of consciousness!
hahahahaha!
yahoo!
fuckyoo!

Vivek’s death was a very hushed up event that ended just like Osho’s abrupt and hurried up funeral. Even the staffs in the commune didn’t know that their master had already been cremated the night before.
1.Why was there a need to finish the death events of these two with so much hurry?
2.Wasn’t Vivek dating Jayesh and staying with him, frequenting to Bombay and Pune along with Jayesh for commune work?
3.Even during her death Vivek was staying with Jayesh in the same hotel, shouldn’t he be interrogated regarding her mysterious death?
4.As per those who saw her body and were present at her funeral Vivek had many blue marks on her body and her face and lips had swollen up as if she had been beaten up, how could someone commit suicide by beating themselves so much that they had marks on their body?
5.No forensic report or autopsy was carried out, how can anyone claim that she committed suicide, as Jayesh was the only man who was around her during her death, shouldn’t he publicly answer all these questions? Not only to the sannyas community but also to the Indian Police and the British government?
SADLY ALL FACTS RELATED WITH THIS INCIDENT REFERS TO A VERY UNCLEAR DEATH AND THIS DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION!!!!
Spurred into action by impassioned plea for justice, the relevant authorities assign their top man to conduct the desired thorough investigation…
http://i.imgur.com/iBvmNzC.jpg
Mariam, how did you manage to convince the parole board in the asylum that you were fit to reurn to society? This demands an investigation!
Thank you SN!
One needs high degree of snobbery or stupidity to comment on those events, one has not seen unfolding before one’s eyes or have not read authenticated reports.
Thus speaks our man on the ground, Inspector Chuddie.
Transparency would be just best.
The only person posting here who actually met Vivek (socially?) is Lokesh.
He is positive about her and her vibe at the time.
I can say in addition that one of my very close friends in Pune one was Swami Veet Arthen. He was Osho’s cowman. He was entrusted with milking the cow from which Osho’s milk was produced daily. He did have daily contact with Vivek and they were both up and about long before the rest of the commune. In Arthen’s case at 4.00am.
After milking he used to take the milk to Vivek personally and exchange a few words on a daily basis whilst, as I understand it, she checked the milk with him. All this happened well before discourse.
Arthen always said that Vivek showed equanimity and grace, and loving attention to detail, even in these small matters. She did this for the whole ambit of Osho’s domestic life for a very long time, from around 1972 to 1985, with very few breaks.
My own feeling is that Vivek was disturbed by the fact that Osho choose another caretaker, for whatever reason, after as I understand it the World Tour in 1986. Perhaps she had a bipolar disposition, but it certainly did not make her dysfunctional in her job, etc for many years. However being tipped out of the top job after such a time, as it were, may have brought on the bipolar cycle.
I recently asked a close frend of Vivek’s what the story was surrounding her death. From what I could gather there was nothing suspicious about it, just tragic.
I find it distasteful that people experience the need to rake through these long dead ashes.
Yes Lokesh, I agree with you to a great extent. Park the blame squarely at the door of the SN editors, I say! All of this smacks of gossip and sensationalism ie tabloid press philosophy, and seems to have got things moving on the site in a way that is not typical here eg look at all the worms who have popped up out of the woodwork to make their contributions – names I have never seen before in nearly 2 yrs of looking at this forum. Maybe I’m just being cynical but it could just be a case of an editor who perceiving that interest in the site is beginning to flag because of some rather overworked or dull topic, or for lack of something new, then decides to pull out one of the old chestnuts that is known to generate a lot of interest and participation ….. then the number of visitors goes up again, which judging on recent experience is of some significance here. Over to you editors. What ‘s your take on all this? Are we being manipulated?
most everything here on SN that’s posted is of gossip and sensationalism or have you not noticed?
Thank you! I need a bit of help crossing the road sometimes…. me eyes are not as good as they used to be!
You published an interview with her some years back did you not.
She came across as modest and down to earth.
i saw Vivek several times at the disco @the ranch in late 1983. she just sat there while most of the rest of us were whirling around to great music. Maybe she was tired after a long day of looking out for the old man.
Last year on the 11th of Dec , a very dear friend , Prem aka Big Prem , died just a week before that , she came over in the evening & we landed up spending our next 3 days together , having a wonderful time like we always do , during that time she asked me if I would celebrate her death & I said that I would not as I don’t want her ( for that matter anyone ) to die , even though death of the physical body is the most inevitable of all other real / illusory happening , actually Iam REALLY SICK with this ‘CELEBRATION ‘ thing that most of the Osho sannyasins think is the way to go . Anyway guess to each their own .
I was just wondering if this could be the exfoliation of my sannyas skin .
Good post, Kavita, very touching. The idea of celebrating death is not unique to the sannyas movement. The Celts have a good booze up after a funeral. A wake.The idea being to get drunk and let it all out.
I’ve seen some vids of maroon-clad sannyasins in Poona celebrating someone’s death and it all looks a bit put on and lack lustre. It is reported that when Chung Tzu’s wife died he was very emotional about it. Disciples asked why he was shedding tears and he answered that he loved her.
The more people we love, the more vulnerable we are to experiencing loss. I think the intelligent way to view this is to see that spirit that resides in everyone’s heart and perhaps never dies. After all, surely the spirit of departed loved ones lives on in our hearts.
I always liked Osho’s ideas about celebrating death. A breath of fresh air in dealing with the inevitable.
A neighbor of mine died recently.
A Jewish man.
A lovely man who’d been in Auschwitz.
He’d been really ill and his death must have been a release for him, but I found his going really poignant, incredibly moving.
I was glad I’d known him.
Another neighbor described him affectionately as agreeably grumpy.
He would have laughed at that.
Lokesh , even though I don’t know what to say , I’ll just say thank you
As i read your post and ‘After all, surely the spirit of departed loved ones lives on in our hearts’,just before reading that sentence i felt this very feeling. In fact,thats what i feel about my family members who have moved on.Beloved Aunty Grace is ‘alive’ everytime i use her bread knife! And ive kept only one of her paintings.Interestingly enough its titled ‘The Watcher’. If that doesnt keep her alive,i dont know what will.They are ALWAYS alive in in my heart and thats where i truly live.As for death ‘celebration’ give it to me everythime over the miserable Catholic dirge that occurs.Of course it can be touching and often is, but the emphasis is on mourning/black/and funereal paced marches and so on .I trust that at my death everybody will have a ‘whale of a time’ with some Spike Jones madcap music to accompany everything.Long live death celebration.
Original thinking O thick-skinned one! More please!
When I go I want much weeping & wailing, perhaps the odd suicide and lots of “if only we’d shown our appreciation with cash rewards while he was still alive!”
I would think grief a very natural response to someone close to you.
I asked my neighbour, ” Who made the world”?
He answered, ” Allah”
So Allah made the world. Where is the problem!
I wonder simple mind is more shrewd or the educated one or the one who swears by beyond mind!
….who knows, maybe Vivek didn’t leave her body but moved somewhere safe and is now peacefully in mneditation…. why not…
Maybe she lives in the same neck of the woods as you do, Tarangita….Fantasyville.
no, she’s living next door to Lokesh on Ibiza.. now that’s definitely not a peaceful place.
I’m pretty sure I saw her recently in Glastonbury, tarangita.
She was with a small elderly indian man, who had the most mesmerizing eyes…
Look at Vivek, who has been with me longest — for fifteen years. When she first came, she was only twenty; now she is thirty-five. Almost half of her life she has been with me. And she has served me with an immense devotion, love, care, such that you can only find in ancient stories about women, not in reality. From the morning when I wake up, till at night when I go to sleep, she is running all around. She has no time of her own, every moment she is devoted. Just to serve me is her joy.
Vivek again and again says to me, “I don’t want to live a single moment when you are gone.” And I say to her, “Don’t be worried. Even if you want to live, you will not be able to.” Just the other day, Deeksha was saying to Vivek, “Once Osho is gone, I am gone.” That is true.
OSHO
Courtesy- facebook!
Deeksha left the ranch in disgust long before Osho died.
same with many other old timers…. they couldn’t take Sheela’s bullshit or the work schedule… Pune was a luxury compared to the Ranch.
Four years ago, when this article was first published, Anthony Thompson was one of the main contributor.
I hope he is doing well and also curious how come he got rid of sannyasnews addiction?
Must be an experience of deep silence? lol
Ya maybe he attended S.A ( Sanyassnews . Annnymous ) lectures !

This is worth a smyle and Wada Pav!
PS- Old timers should visit Pune if not for Resort then street smart Wada Pav and Chai in thinest possible plastic cup!
very very Good for heart energy and against all kind of constipation.
Ya definitely , the best Wada Pav , these days is opposite Sunshine Towers ( only after 5pm – till stocks last )& Chai from Sanju’s tapri ( 6am – 7pm )outside Venus Apartment !
24 years ago, Pune was the most happening place for seekers and fun lovers motivated by Osho. For the evening meeting with master at 7, line was formed from 6 PM onwards. Before Osho enters the hall, it was common to hear the announcement, Please move forward, many more people are waiting to enter. Still it always gave the impression of warmth without suffocation.
Here at this thread, two people have boasted, they got the news of Nirwano’s demise within hours, how i can write, ” News was suppressed.”
Till today, If one types Ma Prem Nirwano on Google search, Not a single news paper is mentioned.
People present at Pune told the news to their friends but not a single person went out of the way to inform the press and create a very awkward situation for Osho to handle.
Politicians and political class of India was waiting all the time to find a single week point around Osho, where tit for tat could be returned with vengeance. Whole life Osho was hitting mercilessly on other religious icons, i think the followers of them would have celebrated the whole thing with taunts.
To my interpretation it means, thousands of people coming to Pune were really simple hearted people really happy to be sannyasins and none of them were there to harm Osho or His work.
It was the fear and power games among the close circled people, the virus in one two organs of Osho’s work which has destroyed much of the beauty and Osho’s energyfield.
Sounds like you need a new hobby, Shantam. You are really flogging a dead horse with your warped reflections and interpretations of things long gone. It occurs to me that you want somehing desperately, but what that something is, is none to clear, I suspect least of all to yourself. I know from observing people that people who are always harping on about the past and how it was are people who don’t have much worthwhile going on in the present.
A challenged woman. Reborn as a healthy young lady. Samdarshi’s daughter as confirmed by Samdarshi, Me and Maitreya Ishwara in his writings.
I knew her as a sweet young strong willed Indian girl in Manali and Jabalpur, playing in Samdarshi’s Samasati Communes. Her new name by birth was Charu and by her fathers sanyas, “Nirvano”.

Other day i was in a high street store with my family in Bern. feeling bored with all the stuff in the shelves,i thought i need smell of the books to feel some normalcy, and also got the curiosity to see what kind of esoteric and philosophy books are the treat of the season.
Oriental teachings, specially Tibetan Buddhism were displayed prominently. One title reminded me of Osho and the irony, ” Rebellious Buddha.”
I thought about smart asses of here and now, who get piles with the thought of underlining the past.
After making two rounds around all the shelves, finally i asked the sales girl, ” Do you have Osho books also?”
“Yes, many under different shelf titles,” she dig one out near the shelf i was standing and in few minutes came with four other titles.
If there was one specially printed for the Xmas sale, i would have surely purchased one.
11.12.2013
So what?
Every day has some numerological digits as date.
Any way on 11.12.1931 one mystic was born who distributed thousands of Indian names to Michales and James and Joes..and also Michaela, Jannie and jolies of the world.
Happy Birthday Osho.
