Letter written to Sw Anand Maitreya on 6 Oct 1965. It has been published in Antarveena (अंतर्वीणा), as letter #9. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.

The writing showing through from the back side may be a PS. It does not appear in Antarveena but PS's are often omitted in published versions.

The letterhead reads:

Top, left and right: Phone: 131 . . . . . . Cable: Raja
Center: Satsang, Dedicated-Monthly for the Spiritual Resurrection of Man
Left: Motivator: Acharya Shri Rajneesh, Editor: D (Seth) Govinddas
Right: Raja Gokuldas Mahal, Jabalpur (MP)

This letterhead is the first seen specimen of its type, and brings to light a previously unheard-of magazine Osho was behind, and with the backing of a prominent Indian freedom fighter: Seth Govinddas was not only the editor, but part of the family who owned the mansion, Raja Gokuldas Mahal, where the magazine was nominally based. Complete with a three-digit phone number!
