 Ekkehard Wunderle TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I have a degree in psychology from the University of Munich, Germany (LMU-Munchen) and work as a therapist and meditation instructor. For three years I worked in the municipal health center in Munich, Germany and am now putting my energy into a Munich growth center which uses the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh as a guideline for its work. I met Bhagwan for the first time in India and experienced him as the most outstanding and pure human being, a genius in the field of psychology and psychotherapy. He is teaching new methods, techniques and completely new ways to help people to become healed and self-realized. Everything I’ve learned from him I use in my work, and I feel that my patients are greatly benefited. For years I have been reading Bhagwan's books and listening to his lecture tapes, which are for me a permanent source of inspiration. Bhagwan also influenced my book, Psychologie der Lebenskunst (Kuffer-Verlag) on the psychology of self-realisation? Bhagwan’s exceptional abilities in the science of psychology and the practise of psychotherapy and meditation are well known. Hundreds of practising psychotherapists are influenced by his teachings.
