Seeds of Revolutionary Thought

In 1960 Osho meets Mrs. Madan Kunwar Parakh (Ma Anandmayee), whom he recognizes as his mother in a past-life. Mrs Parakh is 40 years' old at the time, and recognizes that Osho is enlightened. Osho writes hundreds of letters to her.

This one of a kind volume comprises extracts from 120 of theses letters and anecdotes Osho wrote to her during his travels around India in his earlier days. Through vignettes of scenes he witnesses - children playing on a river with paper boats, the movement of a bullock cart, an earthen lamp being extinguished, a storm striking a village, sunrise and sunset, the life and death of a flower - Osho brings out the parallels in the psychological world of every individual.

translated from

Translated by T.V. Parameswar Iyer, M.A.
