View source for KamalaNehru-1 Letterhead

[[image:KamalaNehru-1.jpg|right|300px]]

The exact time Osho moved to Kamala Nehru Nagar, after his long stay at [[Yogesh Bhavan]], is not known, but was probably sometime in Jun, Jul or early Aug of 1968. He left for Bombay (Mumbai) at the end of Jun 1970. 

One odd feature of this letterhead is the lack of a precise address. Kamala Nehru Nagar is a neighbourhood of Jabalpur, albeit small, not a particular building or housing complex; thus, to not specify anything more precise, he must have been fairly well known by that time, or KNN was not very well developed. In the late 60s, it was certainly not in the center of town and probably not hugely built up, so it might well have been possible to make arrangements with the local postal people. 

The simple, basic design of this letterhead was replicated in designs for letterheads later in Mumbai. It reads, in the top left corner, in a light-weight dark grey-green italic font:
:acharya rajneesh
And continuing to the right but lower down, in a smaller, heavier, burnt orange italic font:
:kamala nehru nagar &emsp; : &emsp; jabalapur (m. p.). &emsp; phone : 2957
And above that in the top right corner, a [[Jeevan Jagruti Kendra]] logo in the same two colours

This letterhead has been used for many letters, listed below, with recipient and publication info where known. Some of these letters, it will be noted, were for whatever reasons written long after the move to Mumbai, even with current letterheads supposedly available.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> = these three letters are written well past the time Osho lived in KNN. The last two are long past, but it is the first which is the strangest: by Nov 3, Osho has been living in CCI Chambers in Churchgate for four months but using old letterhead from KNN, crossing it out and writing in an address for Woodland, where he is not living and won't be for over a month. And Churchgate letterhead is available.
