Talk:Osho Timeline 1987
"Poona, January 3rd, 1987.
Back in Pona in front of the original Lao Tzu Gate, it is long past midnight and I am dancing and singing with a small group of sannyasins.
Two days ago I took the train from Bombay where Osho had been giving discourses in the house of an Indian sannyasin after His world tour. But the house had been too small as more sannyasins were again arriving from the West. Then we got word that everybody should move to Poona, where He would arrive shortly thereafter.
Tonight He is expected to arrive. Since 10 pm, sannyasins have gathered before Lao Tzu Gate to await Him. But the time draws on. The traffic on the road from Bombay is such that the journey may take from four to six hours. Fortunately one sannyasin has brought a guitar and we are singing and dancing. Past midnight only a small group is left. I debate with myself about leaving but decide to stay.
Around 1:30 or 2 in the morning there is a sudden commotion at the entrance. His Mercedes pulls in and slowly rolls down towards Lao Tzu Gate. Everybody is crowding the car trying to get a glimpse. In front of the gate the car stops for a moment.
And there, visible through the window is Osho lying on the back seat of the car smiling innocently. Maybe He has been sleeping on the tedious road from Bombay. He is now just lying there looking up into our faces and greeting us with hands folded in Namaste. His figure is so small and fragile; His smile is almost shy. Then the gate opens, the car moves on and He is gone from our view."
