Letter written on 18 Jan 1961 xm

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written around midnight on 18th January 1961 on his personal letterhead stationery of the day: The top left corner reads: Rajneesh / Darshan Vibhag (Philosophy Dept) / Mahakoshal Mahavidhalaya (Mahakoshal University). The top right reads: Nivas (Home) / Yogesh Bhavan, Napiertown / Jabalpur (M.P.). Many of his letters on this letterhead have had the number 115 added in by hand before "Yogesh Bhavan" to complete his address, but not this one.

Of the various hand-written numbers or marks that have been found in earlier letters, this has only a vertical line of pale blue marks in the top right corner, whose significance is not yet understood. Osho uses his usual salutation, "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom.

The date has been put up top, with "adhiratri" (midnight) written above.

We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
