As a young man, Valli had a vision of a man in a white robe with a long beard who then he recognised as Osho. When taking sannyas, Osho told Valli to be a master of his mind, not a slave of it. That’s been Valli’s life journey which continues to the present day. Valli has been deeply touched by Osho and shares his sincere gratitude for the incredible life he has got to live thanks to Osho.
Today our guest is Swami Deva Vallabha (aka Valli). Valli took sannyas in 1977 and worked in the commune as a Samurai ensuring Osho’s security. Meeting Osho transformed Valli from being a victim to living a life of gratefulness and presence. Valli is passionate about sharing meditation and offers retreats based on The Work of Byron Katie.
