Arps , first of all there can’t be any comparison . Secondly , Shantam is a close friend . One thing Shantam if he allows me to say so , is not the type to go to court ( irony !) for any complaints or else he would in person join them actively / full time in Pune .

Sw.Prem Geet ( Mr .Thakker ), was / is an Estate Agent , I have spoken to him at the most 2 times in early 2000 , once when I called him on his phone for a house visit & second time when he visited our house . At that time we ( my mother & me ) used to mostly live in Saswad /21 kms from Pune and every time I came back to Koregaon Park house, I found it hard to cope with mentally as well as financially , maintaining it due to of renting it partly , so I decided to sell & during that time I met mostly all sannyasin property dealers of that time and one thing they all told me is not to sell . I did sell but the Saswad house in 2007 to our neighbor there & now live in Koregaon Park since then .

Kavita,

Do you know anything about Thakkar, what kind of individual he is?
I see him as a Shantam type.
Is that unjust?

Parmartha, I have just come to know from a reliable source (who does not want to be named) who knew him closely, that Gajar baba had some money of his own too after selling his property & that he has visited USA only once for only one of the four festivals. So this means his four festivals story is not factual.

And that he had sold his property before going to USA, so he had some money of his own but it was not enough for the ticket.

I think this question can be answered by Swami Ageh Bharti or Arun ji from Nepal.

Both got their glorious movement to be in the list of A + chosen few candidates who were going to be the messengers of Rajneeshism. So they must be having the memory of another special one.

I have read the string but no-one has answered the question as to HOW Gajar got to the Ranch four times, and how it must have been the central focus of his life.

There were a lot of Indian sannyasins, but it seems no-one else managed it from the entire sub-continent.

Also, no-one has managed to come up with the full range of lists that Osho issued in 1984, and the four categories he made of sannyasins at that time. Gajar, unknown to almost all of the community, appeared on one of those lists, and I would be interested in which one.

SD says:
“Mmmm, yes, reminds me of Jerusalem, around 30 AD…”

Some of the best Red Leb I ever smoked, man…got ripped off a couple of times by that Judas guy…seriously tho`, Mary Magdalene – wot a goer, you certainly got your shekels worth with her…and what happened to whassisname?…you know..the bloke who invented aggressive begging and who used to rip off donkeys and go joyriding them round the town centre – you could always rely on him to knock up a sandwich out of nothing and brew some illegal hooch on the spot at a party…top geezer – wicked!

No wonder the fuzz were well pissed off and he eventually got banged up…

Those were the days alright.

Stayng with the topic, Kusum, I mean people like Gajar Baba. He lived on the edge, was homeless, and did beg a bit, once to get to America, according to some. Seeing him dancing at Osho’s burning ghat was very uplifting to such as myself.

I sense a Hindu puritan maybe there in you. Jesus’s favourite female disciple was a prostitute, and I myself, especially in Pune 1, knew a few as friends. They were great people, and somehow free.

I think most of us human beings have the hidden longing to fall in love like in the Titanic movie or surrender before those who claim with confidence,”I am in the same league as Buddha, Jesus, Kabir, Mahavira, Nanak Shiva etc.”

Some people get their higher calling. No one knows till the end, Higher calling was really high like a Banyan tree or a sugarcane.

For westerns, it was a rare occasion when the call of an Indian master was heard loud and clear; for Indians, market is always full.

What to say about others who are being adored by millions-plus Indians? Even in the legacy of Osho, three family members are running a successful empire with their own Apple babas, bananas and Ms.Mangoes.
It just needs spending half an hour at youtube to see how Indian Guruji Shishya ji market is bubbling.

I also think humanity has become this much mature to understand, whether you die or leave the body, one thing is clear, you are no more here and now.

For falling in love or being in devotion towards someone, presence of two is important. Rest is imagination or entertainment.
