Letter written on 8 Mar 1961 am

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written in the morning on 8th March 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 earlier letters on this letterhead had the number 115 added in by hand before "Yogesh Bhavan" to complete his address, but by this date, the practice seems largely abandoned. See discussion.

This letter does not have Osho's usual salutation, "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom, but instead "पूज्य मां", Pujya Maan, Revered Mother. It lacks most of the marks found on most earlier letters, except that it has a small group of pale blue marks in the top left part of the letter whose meaning and import is not clear. The date is written at the top.

This letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) on p 84 (2002 Diamond edition).

We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
