Revision as of 18:00, 6 October 2020
There are six unidentified people in this photo, Ma X, three guys in the shadows behind, the girl (¿possibly very short adult woman?) on the right and the woman sitting behind Laxmi. All could be identified by someone in the know. (more research, dig dig etc).
Two questions also arise about those identified: The "Yoga Karuna" looks a fair bit like Ma Krishna Karuna, we have in two other group shots, File:KrishnaSaraswati-2.jpg and File:Djyoti05.jpg. Possibly "Yoga" is a mistake?
And "Veet Sandesh" is probably "Veet Sandeh", the long-lost person to whom Osho wrote 45 letters in What Is Meditation? (my speculation). That person has long been labelled as "Ma Veet Sandeh (Alias Dr. Miss Grazia Marchiano, Rome, Italy)". We know nothing about her, but the name of this fairly prim-looking Italianish "Dr Miss" fits almost well.
I think it's her, with a mistake somewhere: "Sandesh" could be wrong. Or "Sandeh" could be wrong. What is the source of "Sandeh"? What does the book actually say? Can "Sandeh" be a real name?
Yes, according to Wiktionary, meaning "mistrust, doubt; uncertainty", certainly a Veet type of name, whereas "Sandesh", "message", is much more a straight name, in fact quite common. So on this point, "Veet Sandesh" is less likely and may be a mistake, looking to me very likely to be the long-lost Sandeh. -- doofus-9 18:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
