NapierTown-5 Letterhead

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 six "pure" Napier Town letterheads, with only his name and address for information content. This was the last chronologically to appear according to what we know so far, but it was found before NapierTown-6 Letterhead, and changing names and multiple links is not worth the trouble. Its two new features are Osho's name in image form, two finely etched/carved stamps (woodcuts?, engravings?), and the first-ever appearance of a Jeevan Jagriti Kendra logo, a candle flame inside a series of nine circles, all touching at the bottom.

We might consider that this logo should make it more of a JJKNapier letterhead, but as the JJK indicator is not verbal, we are keeping it here. See the main Letterheads page for all his letterheads, and a discussion of their features.

Text in this letterhead runs up the left side: "115, NAPIER TOWN : JABALPUR (M.P.)" all caps. The stamped images of ACHARYA and RAJNISH are in the top left corner, with the JJK logo in the bottom left, both taking a fair amount of space.
