Letter written on 26 Jan 1961

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 26th 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 pale blue squiggle, whose significance is not yet understood. Osho's usual salutation, "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom, has been modified to "पूज्य मां", Pujya Maan, Revered Mother.

The date has been put up top, along with "Sagar" and "Ganatantra Diwas", or Republic Day. This letter has been published in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो), on p 76 in the 2002 Diamond edition. The book, or at least that edition, has some transcription errors, including putting the year as 1969 and rendering the salutation as "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan.

We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
