Talk:Neither Dusk Nor Dawn

Sw Anand Haridas wrote in his book Sahaj Prakash:

Charandas was born in Dehra, near Alwar in Rajasthan, in 1703. He was initiated into sannyasa by the divine sage Sukha Deva at the age of 19 and, after many years of meditation in the forest, established an ashram in Delhi, where he lived and taught until his death in 1782. He shared in the radical openness of the sant mystical poets, emphasizing devotion to the guru and the importance of sharing in a spiritual community that was not based on caste. Charandas was the teacher of Sahajo Bai and Daya Bai, and Osho has also spoken on both of these enlightened women. For brief details see Sant Charandas and this, edited by myself : Sahaj Prakash.

It can be added that these two women achieving the prominence they did in that era was fairly unusual. Osho's books on them were commentaries on their poetry: Bin Ghan Parat Phuhar (बिन घन परत फुहार), on Sahajo's "sutras of love", now translated as Showering Without Clouds, and Jagat Taraiya Bhor Ki (जगत तरैया भोर की), on Dayabai, now translated as The Last Morning Star. -- doofus-9 05:09, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
