Osho lived in Yogesh Bhavan, 115, Napier Town in Jabalpur, for some eight years, leaving sometime in mid-1968. He went through many letterheads during this time, almost all showing this address but most also emphasizing other features besides the plain address, so they have been put in different categories. There were the Mahakoshal group (example), featuring his teaching position at Mahakoshal Arts College, the group introducing his org Jeevan Jagriti Kendra (example), and so on.

In all there were five "pure" Napier Town letterheads, with only his name and address for information content. This was the fourth, and the first among them to be embellished with an image. It was not the first among all his letterheads to have an image though. There were two others before it, and in fact, one of them, JJKNapier-4 Letterhead, even featured the very same image as this, a single paisley teardrop.

See that letterhead for more on the paisley image, and see the main Letterheads page for all his letterheads, and a discussion of their features.

This letterhead follows quite closely the design of JJKNapier-4, with the paisley teardrop in the upper left corner and the "Acharya Rajneesh" to its right even in the same cursive script. The difference is in the text running up the left side: "115, Napier Town, Yogesh Bhavan, Jabalpur, (M.P.)" appears on this one, while JJKNapier-4 has "Jeevan Jagruti Kendra, 115, Napier Town, JABALPUR (M. P.)" JJK is replaced by Yogesh Bhavan and Jabalpur is normal case here vs all-caps there.
