From 1957 to 1963, Osho wrote many letters to Babulal Ji Deriya, of Babai (MP), India. The wiki has images of quite a few of them. Most are written on postcards. See the Letters section of Osho's manuscripts for links to all the letters we have images of.

For the Post Office, Osho used his full name as above. In addressing him personally, he wrote "Poojya Deriya Ji" or "Shraddheya Deriya Ji" (venerable, honoured), only later using the more familiar "Priya Deriya Ji" (dear, beloved), but all following his sometime custom of addressing male friends by their last names. See also Lashkariji, Punglia Ji, etc.

This postcard is dated 3rd March 1960. It is not known to have been previously published but is said to be in line to be published eventually in a larger edition of Prem Ke Swar (प्रेम के स्वर) (as letter #60). In it, Osho mentions possibly getting together when he comes to Itarsi (MP) on Mar 10.
