Letter written on 15 Aug 1963

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 25th July 1963. The letterhead is the one that appeared first in the previous letter. It has "Acharya Rajneesh" in a large, messy font to the left of and oriented 90º the rest, which reads:

115, Napier Town

Jabalpur (M.P.)

Osho's salutation in this letter is just plain "मां", Maan, Mom or Mother. Of the hand-written marks seen in other letters, a black tick mark is seen up top, and bottom right has a faint mirror-image number, 197. Just to make that part easy and clear, there is an image of the other side as well, since there is a PS there, and sure enough, a straight 197. Osho's experiments with coloured inks seen in some other recent letters resume with this one; it is mostly black, but has three red lines for emphasis.

The PS mentions going to Indore for events on the 18th to 20th, plus other events 20-23 Aug, 1, 5, 8 and 17 Sep. The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) on p 236 but inexplicably the PS has been omitted, the first such omission seen in this collection. Possibly it was not noticed.

We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
