Sw Anand Milarepa
(Augustus Pembroke Thomson III)
After traveling to India and meeting Osho in 1976, Milarepa lived and worked in the Osho Commune for 10 years. He had many jobs, among them coordinating the Commune music department in Pune ll. He is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and meditation leader and has been touring continuously with his One Sky Band since 1992 -- sharing a vision of meditation, music, and celebration throughout the world.
He said, in an interview in Osho Times (January 16, 1991, link below):
- "Although work was, and still is, considered an important part of Osho's vision, in the last years of his life, he began to emphasize creativity as a way of expressing and sharing the fruits of our meditation. His discourses took on more and more the flavor of Zen and it was clear he wanted each of us to become our own individual, not dependent on anybody else. Including him! Nor dependent on anything, even the Commune.
- "Taking care of the music around Osho for me has been about allowing things to expand and flow with him, so that the music reflects as clearly as possible his vision and the things we are continually learning by being with him. In this way, music has became my meditation."
Milarepa has also been named by Sarito Carroll as a serial abuser of subteen and young teenage girls in Osho's communes, especially the ranch. He has apologised to her in a closed Facebook group, and that apology has been cited by the Times of London in their article about sannyasin sexual abuse. (They have his last name as Thomas, see discussion.) Carroll presents a long letter to him about it with lots of details on her website.
