Ma Amrit Saraswati

(Shreemati Saraswati Bai Jain)

Osho's mother was born Nov 23, 1913 in Kuchwada, a small farming village in Madhya Pradesh, to a well-off, otherwise childless couple who doted on her, and later on Osho, when he lived with them in his first seven years. She was married at age 7, as was the custom, and went to live with her husband in Timarni, some hundred miles away, but came back to Kuchwada to give birth to Osho, some five months before her due date, as Kuchwada was isolated during the rainy season.

She left her body May 17, 1995.
