Ma Dharma Kavisha
(Kavisha Mazzella)
" Sing For everybody... sing for nobody"
Kavisha took Sannyas in 1981 and lived in the Fremantle Commune playing in music group and working in the Kitchen. While she is not a group follower and really follows her own path, shunning politics and mob mentality, it was Bhagwan's Joy and capacity to inspire that joy that drew Kavisha to him. Kavisha visited the Ranch in Oregan being blessed by Bhagwan at drivetime when he used to drive through the ranch after lunch to see his sannyasins... There he used to stop in front of Kavisha and waved his hands as she danced and sang and fell into deep silence afterwards sometimes for hours...
Later when she returned a couple of years later, he requested that she play music in the line outside his house where his sannyasins made a "Guard of honour" greeting him as he went into his house to speak in evening discourse... She played her mandolin jumping higher and higher falling into a state of ecstatic joy... "By stopping in front of me I felt Osho was silently indicating to me my path.. we never spoke but then we didn't have to."Through this profound experience Kavisha has brought this joy into her music and runs many music groups,choirs and has released her own cds mainly in Australia.
"After the Ranch broke up ,I was deeply depressed not understanding where i should go in the world.I went to Denmark having met the father of my child at the Ranch and went back to Australia became pregnant during which i had a serious urge to go to visit Osho in Poona. Everyone thought I was mad! There, I was called to the office and Neelum said Bhagwan wants you to know his musicians are remembered and she gave me a towel that had belonged to him! I was blown away.I often wrapped my baby daughter in it when she was a child.I feel that Osho cannot be tradmarked and his meditations cannot be sold...
His gift was freely given and we were so lucky to be lit by that flame.we can only be humble and pass it on to those who have the heart and ears to hear and feel.These days my sannyas fire has been re-ignited by a so called rebellious Swami Rajneesh . He is a dancing Nature guru and lover of trees and he is starting a Free Oshococommune in Goa. I hope to go there one day and play music.I feel that the love has and heart has left Poona and is now circulating around the world in the work of people who care for people above all not just business,money power and bullying attitudes.LOng live Life Love and Laughter!...these will give us our true birthright!Keep singing and dancing. look after your bodies.live openhearted. love Kavisha
