Ma Anand Madhu
(Dharmishtha B Shah)
Madhu was among the fabled first group of people to officially take sannyas from Osho in Manali in 1970. For years before that, she was the principal of Sanskarteerth School in Ajol (GJ) and hosted Osho repeatedly for camps there.
Osho talked about Anand Madhu, and wrote many letters to her. The wiki has no manuscript images but many were published, so there are links below to where they can be found in books.
Madhu was the niece of Morar Ji Bhai Desai, who became a Prime Minister of India and whom Osho frequently ridiculed for drinking his own urine. Morarjibhai was said to have been very angry about Madhu's initiation.
She left her body on May 18, 2021.
