MA DEVA SAMVEGA <br> | |||
MIASTO RAJNEESH - 53010 FR0SINI (SI) ITALY | |||
To whom it may concern : | |||
To meet Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, to come closer to him and to become his disciple meant to choose a road that, by and by, is opening my heart and forgotten feelings and that leads towards loving and understanding life and the other living beings. | |||
His silent presence is so wonderful, much more than his words, to be in silence and to feel his infinite love and compassion is a great gift. | |||
I have been living in a commune of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh with other disciples since three years and we are reviving fields that had been abandoned for 20 years, houses with flowers and garments, and his presence can be felt in the peace and the silence of this place on top of a hill in Tuskany, Italy. | |||
We work, but it is not work, it is worshiping life, nature, the Master, and before and after worshiping we sing a mantra to express our gratitude towards Bhagwan, towards the community nad the universe that allows us to contact him. | |||
The joy and laughter of these last years with Bhagwan - I don't remember to have ever lived this before and I can’t imagine to do anything else than what I am doing. | |||

 MA DEVA SAMVEGA To whom it may concern : To meet Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, to come closer to him and to become his disciple meant to choose a road that, by and by, is opening my heart and forgotten feelings and that leads towards loving and understanding life and the other living beings. His silent presence is so wonderful, much more than his words, to be in silence and to feel his infinite love and compassion is a great gift. I have been living in a commune of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh with other disciples since three years and we are reviving fields that had been abandoned for 20 years, houses with flowers and garments, and his presence can be felt in the peace and the silence of this place on top of a hill in Tuskany, Italy. We work, but it is not work, it is worshiping life, nature, the Master, and before and after worshiping we sing a mantra to express our gratitude towards Bhagwan, towards the community nad the universe that allows us to contact him. The joy and laughter of these last years with Bhagwan - I don't remember to have ever lived this before and I can’t imagine to do anything else than what I am doing. [signed] |
