Tuning to Osho, the “magnificent Buddha”, together with thousands of people in Buddha Hall, bring it all into singing and let it drop into silence, is an indescribable experience that Maniko attempts to put into words in this episode. Maniko was blessed with the gift of hearing music and learnt from Osho how to “get out of the way”. For Maniko the whole existence is a dialogue, an incessant play of call and response and she invites us to sing with the birds, and listen to the music of nature.
Today our guest is Maniko. Maniko was born into a musical family and has played with many accomplished musicians from around the world. Maniko took sannyas in 1977 and sang for Osho during Darshan.
