Thanks, Vartan.

Clearly, a lot more traffic and trade, including trade in philosophies and architecture etc. than is generally appreciated.

Those free women of Kalesh in Pakistan…My God, what a risk those people must now be taking, surrounded by Islam.

Last year there was an article on Greco-Buddhism on Osho News (nothing new that cannot be found on Wikipedia).

Greco-Buddhism
http://www.oshonews.com/2015/02/26/greco-buddhism/

A number of tribes in what used to be Northern India but is now Pakistan or Afghanistan claim descent from Alexander’s armies. One particular aspect of these tribes is the freedom that their women have.

Let no one be fooled, the above is simply dripping with the most profound irony! Shantam has no time for dead grandmothers, however admirably heroic, however much the catalyst for his master they might have been.

They’re no use to him, he’s after their grandkids and their great-grandkids – female only, of course…

The dirty old git!

Shantam,
You are jealous because they don’t share your delusion of how important you are. They are, sensibly, indifferent to you.

Parmartha and Madhu, may I request you to write a joint appeal to Osho Foundation International to bestow status of Saint to Master´s grandmother posthumously.

Hello Madhu,
Thanks for responding.

Yes, I take your point, she apparently did like to argue herself, but that would not have been the whole of what Osho got from her. The unconditional love, and her wisdom over giving the boy freedom was vital.

The picture is the only one that I can find of Osho’s grandmother. It may be there are others. If so, please post them. Thanks.

“Clearly we have a lot to thank Osho’s grandmother for.” (Parmartha)

Yes, Parmartha, yes.

And I would like to add (it’s rather not about the arguing stuff but more about the opposite of “arguing about everything”) my eyes have been in wonder seeing the strengths in the pic added and thank you for this.

With love,

Madhu
