Veetaraga was an artist and a long time sannyasin. He drew Osho’s sketches for many Yukrand and other magazines. He married a Jain nun, who also took sannyas. Her name is Maya.

Osho wrote him many letters in the late 60s and early 70s, which the wiki is looking forward to share images of. While we wait, here is a translation of one of them, in which Osho talks about a certain aspect of his paintings:

Dear Kamlesh,
Love. I am very glad to know that you are exhibiting your paintings. There are many possibilities with your paintings. Perhaps your paintings are paintings of possibilities. These are not complete. And no good painting is ever complete. Being complete is the second name for death. And your paintings are alive. And that’s why they are incomplete. And what you convey from them is not important but what cannot be conveyed is important. Never try to complete these paintings. The incompleteness of these are like seeds. And there is a meaning in being a seed, there is movement, there is moment. In a tree all this is lost.
Accept my heartiest good wishes.
Convey my Pranaam to everyone there.
Rajneesh ke Pranaam.
