 DELEGATION AUPRES DES COMMUNAUTES EUROPEENNES Dear Sir, I am an official worker in the Spanish Delegation in the European Community in Brussels and I am since 1978 a disciple from the Enlightened Master Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. I’ve had the honour to visit Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh several times in India an in the States and I have talk with Him and I've received His Blessings too, so I am in a position to say that He is a very extraordinary Person, that my life have change completely since I am his diciple and that He has helped me so much that I don't knew how to express it. Also I knew that the same has happened to lots of other people, people that are my friends and I know personally. This letter is to let you know who Bhagwan Shree Rasjneesh is, through my experience, and to confirm His extraordinary quality that makes Him a Very Extraordinary Person. Yours sincerely, |
