 aalborg universitetscenter To Whom It May Concern Both in my work as a university teacher in the field of psychology and communication, and in my work as a body therapist - as well as in my personal life - I have come to realize that Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh offers the most complete, the most important and the most satisfying perspective on human life, compared to all contemporary teachers in philosophy, psychology and religion. His contribution to human understanding and human growth is exactly what the world of today is in desperate need of. [signed] |
