Letter written on 12 Feb 1961

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 12th February 1961, on his personal letterhead stationery of the day: The top left corner reads: Rajneesh / Darshan Vibhag (Philosophy Dept) / Mahakoshal Mahavidhalaya (Mahakoshal University). The top right reads: Nivas (Home) / Yogesh Bhavan, Napiertown / Jabalpur (M.P.). Many of his letters on this letterhead have had the number 115 added in by hand before "Yogesh Bhavan" to complete his address, but not this one.

This letter is on two sheets with consecutive file numbers. They have been found together as a single published page (80) in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो), which verifies the text, albeit with some mis-transcriptions. The salutation is the usual "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom. Of the marks and numbers that have been found in some other letters, the first sheet has only a red tick mark, and the second has a pale blue figure of unknown significance in the top left, similar to some appearing in other letters.

The date, on the bottom of the second sheet, is accompanied, unusually, by a day of the week, Sunday (रविवार, ravivar) instead of a time of day. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
