Letter written on 17 Apr 1971

Osho wrote many letters in Hindi to Ma Kusum Bharti and her husband Kapil, then of Ludhiana. Most were addressed to Kusum, but always mentioning Kapil too. Sannyas Wiki has images of all but one of the 27 published in Prem Ke Swar (प्रेम के स्वर), plus three unpublished ones. Plus this one, written in English!

Additionally, some letters to Kusum were published in Prem Ke Phool (प्रेम के फूल), but we have no images of them.

This letter is dated 17th April 1971 and was published in The Gateless Gate as letter #18, and subsequently re-compiled in A Cup of Tea, #206 in the classic edition enshrined in the CD-ROM.

The letterhead is a typical one from the early days of living in Woodland, his principal home during the Bombay era. It has "acharya rajneesh" in all lower-case letters, his address and phone in all-caps in a different colour, and a two-colour Jeevan Jagriti Kendra logo.
