The wiki has received copies of some dispatches from ashram / commune / resort authorities to inform the wider sannyas family as to "newsy" developments. They were not distributed via publications or press releases, rather via centers and other "family" networks. They come in different forms, being produced in different circumstances and eras. More can be said about their different forms and their commonalities later, as more come in. The table below presents a linked index of what we have so far.

Among the more still to come in are of course many unknown, and even undreamed-of, but there are a few we can be relatively sure are "out there somewhere" ....

date subject(s) and description
May 14 1981 report of an announcement by Sheela that the ashram will be moving "up north", plus ancillary gossipy items, put out apparently by the ashram press office
Jun 15 1981 an announcement that Osho has disappeared, some fifteen days earlier, whereabouts unknown, everybody should chill; sannyasins in Pune are celebrating and dispersing, etc, also apparently from the press office
Jul 7 1981 the ashram is winding down, "last mango in Poona", etc
Oct 14 1985 fax from Sw Prem Jayadip reporting on a phone call from Hasya concerning developments in the late Ranch era, sent to European centers
Jul 16 1996 transcription of an address in Buddha Hall by Garimo about some changes in the commune, having to do with welcoming protocols, hepatitis C and White Robe, plus lots of sannyas social history
