Yes. That’s the one I read, and the info about Sheela was interesting.
Its an insider book. Was a bit of an eye opener for me. A revelation. I got a lot out of it. I saw my life well before sannyas in what was going on with them.
”One woman from Geneva who had been my sannyasin long before Sheela came into my contact. She has informed that Sheela’s whole business was selling drugs, particular heroin. And while she was going to Europe the excuse was visiting the communes, but the reality was heroin. She has been doing the business in selling gold also. I have called that sannyasin to come here, because she will be an eye witness, because Sheela and she were both very close friends. She knows every detail, that how much money she has got out of drugs, how much money out of gold, how much money she has taken out of the communes”
Q:* A BIG PART OF YOUR MONEY IS IN OUR BANK IN SWITZERLAND, SOME FORTY-THREE MILLION DOLLARS. WILL YOU OPEN AN ACTION IN MY COUNTRY AGAINST THE BANK, OR AGAINST THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE MONEY?
A:* Yes, we are working on how to find out… because we don’t know which bank it is in, what the account number is. But we are working and finding out, and we are keeping our sannyasins on guard on each bank in Zurich so they cannot take the money out from anywhere; they cannot even enter any bank. We will not leave them this easy. If they had told us, ”We want to create a small commune in Switzerland and these forty-three million dollars are there,” we would have willingly given it to them — there is no problem, because it belongs to sannyasins. Whether it is used here or it is used in Switzerland does not matter to us, we are world citizens. And the money was coming from Germany. But rather than doing that, they have stolen the money. We will not leave them so easily.
”what happen to Deeksha? And this is only one bank account. Who knows? — they may be having other bank accounts. One of Sheela’s colleagues — in India she was a friend of Sheela’s, when Sheela was nobody… this Italian girl, Deeksha, was an important figure in the Indian commune, and she had lived for years in Geneva, she had connections in Switzerland.
Now she has informed us that Sheela was doing business in smuggling heroin and gold; and she must have earned millions, which must be in some other account.
And the strange fact is, since that information we have been searching for Deeksha for ten days. her mother knows not where she is. All her friends we have contacted, nobody knows where she is. Either she has been killed by this gang, doped, drugged, kept a prisoner… but we are sending Swiss sannyasins to look in all possible places in Geneva to find out what happened to her.
Just after her phone call — because she had phoned, ”I am coming tomorrow” — she simply disappeared. but Sheela’s other secretary, who used to work in India as her secretary, reached here yesterday: she had all the information. Forty-three million — that is her information. And she has much more to reveal. We said, ”You just rest” — because she is suffering from cancer. ”Rest one day, and then by and by recollect everything, so you can give it to the police”
I’ve been reading ’the ultimate game’ by kate strelley.
But it got so boring that I haven’t bothered finishing it.
You weren’t in Poona 1 were you?
Might have meant more to you if you’d been there. (Thats not a side swipe.)
I think I’ve read it. This is the book where they talk about getting enlightened the way people talk about getting promoted at Marks and Spencers. ??
I was there briefly.
Gives an interesting portrait of sheela.
She was only 15 years old at the time.

Right, off to try and find some coconuts. Heard theyr’e useful somewhere.
I think this is the episode that involves coconut. Have a listen. Might help you in your quest.

OSho, last testament
Osho gives Sannyas indiscriminately.
’Saints’ and ’Sinners’.
Across that spectrum.
Assume that has purpose.
