Revision as of 08:27, 22 January 2020

This page will eventually show examples of all letterheads known to have been used by Osho. Some were official, some makeshift, all have a story or two. Included in this page are also the papers Osho used for name-papers. Some of these were also used for letters, so there is a decent cross-over, with no compelling need to separate the two.

Some notes follow the gallery below.

Osho's homes

Source for info on Osho's homes in Jabalpur is mainly Neeten's Osho Source Book, which in turn cites mainly Gyan Bhed ...
Osho stayed in many places in Jabalpur. No letters are known from the period before he went to Sagar to get his MA. In Sagar he stayed with two of his professors, Dr. S.S. Roy and Dr. S.K. Saxena, and also at times in the students’ hostel. After getting his position in 1958 as a lecturer at Jabalpur University, he stayed in Bhaldarpura, from 1959 to 1960, then for some months in the house of Gupteshwar (unknown) on Devtaal Rd in the Garha area.

From late 1960** to 1968 he lived in Napier Town in the house of Shree Devoki Nandan, who provided enough space for Osho to keep his growing library, give talks and introduce his listeners to meditation. Then he shifted to a house in Kamla Nehru Nagar on Garha Road.

At the end of June 1970, he made his big move to Mumbai, landing first in an apartment in CCI Chambers in the Churchgate area arranged by a close supporter, Himmat Bhai. This could not last long however, since other residents could not tolerate the crowds that were soon coming, so a large ground-level flat was found in Woodland, on Peddar Rd. It too was soon too small but manageable until the move to Pune came in March 1974. Then of course, Pune One, the Ranch and so on.

Mahakoshal

In the late 50s and early 60s, Osho held forth in the Philosophy department at Mahakoshal Arts University. Our earliest Mahakoshal letterhead, used in a letter in Oct 1960, also gives his home address as Yogesh Bhavan, Napier Town. He inserts by hand a "115" before the "Yogesh Bhavan"; more correctly it should go before "Napier Town", but there is no space there. In fact, this letterhead doesn't work and, after some attempts at inserting 115 in subsequent letters, he gives up and eventually gets new letterhead. This is just the beginning.‎
