(Madan Kunwar Parekh, b Nov 5 1919)
(Note that there is some inconsistency in the rendering of her last name, being often Parakh and sometimes Parikh)
In 1960 Osho meets Madan Kunwar Parekh, whom he recognizes as his mother in a past life. Smt Parekh is 40 years old at the time, and recognizes that Osho is enlightened, and that her intense longing to reconnect with her past-life son has been fulfilled.
She and her husband Rekhchand Parekh are a wealthy couple running an orphanage in Chanda -- now known as Chandrapur -- in the northeast corner of Maharashtra in central India. They become important early benefactors of Osho, supplying him with many gifts for the furtherance of his work, including the land used for the mid-70s communal farm experiment known as Kailash. For that, Anandmayee is sent about thirty Western sannyasins after Osho's last meditation camp in Mt Abu and is thrown into what is essentially a therapy group as their co-ordinator. See the lengthy account excerpted from Veena's book, Glimpses of My Master, in Osho News.
Osho writes hundreds of letters to her, of which 120 are published under the title Krantibeej (क्रांतिबीज), translated as Seeds of Revolutionary Thought. Another 100 or so are published in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो).
See Letters to Anandmayee for images and details of Osho's letters to her. And see Osho News' deeply researched article on her life and connection with Osho.
