Letter written on 4 Nov 1961

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 4th November 1961 from Gadarwara. The letterhead is the first example of a long-awaited replacement for the one used from late 1960 through Mar 1961, his "professional" letterhead. This new version has "Rajneesh" changed to "Acharya Rajneesh", a "115" added to his home address, replacing the non-numerical style of address he had before, and Madhya Pradesh spelled out in full as one word. It now reads:

Top left corner: Acharya Rajneesh / Darshan Vibhag (Philosophy Dept) / Mahakoshal Mahavidhalaya (Mahakoshal University). Top right: Nivas (Home) / 115, Napier Town / Jabalpur (Madhyapradesh).

Osho's salutation in this letter is "प्रिय मां" (Priya Maan, Dear Mom). It has a few of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: a blue number (31) in a circle in the top right corner, a red tick mark, and a second number (57) in the bottom right corner.

And it is a long letter, continuing onto the back of the page and filling that, with a few extra words written at the top of the first page, between the two halves of the letterhead.

We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
