The Main publisher of Osho books in the Bombay period (before March 1974).

जीवन जागृति केन्द्र translates into English as "Life Awakening Centre".

  • In the English books the publisher or copyright holder is referred to as "Jivan Jagruti Kendra" (44 occurrences), "Jeevan Jagruti Kendra" (16), "Jeevan Jagriti Kendra" (15) or "Jivan Jagriti Kendra" (1). Abbreviated as JJK.
  • 1 book states only Ishwarlal N. Shah as the publisher. He is nearly always mentioned as the secretary of Jivan Jagruti Kendra in the other JJK books.
  • 14 books state only the English "A Life Awakening Movement Publication" as the publisher, and then always mention JJK as the copyright holder.
  • 2 books have as publisher "Anand Shila Publications", they too all mention JJK as the copyright holder. Anand Shila is a location near Mumbai, where some of the meditation camps were held and which, at that time, was in view as a location for setting up an Ashram.

Jivan Jagruti Kendra was a trust, set up 11 Jun 1969 (see discussion about details), to spread Osho's words. Osho was an "Advisor for life".

It was later renamed Shree Rajneesh Foundation, mostly referred to as "Rajneesh Foundation" (RF, India) and operated Rajneesh Publications Pvt Ltd from 1973 and the ashram in Poona from March 1974.
