 Ma Indradhanu To whom it may concern I am a sannyasin since 4 years. I was working in the University Hospital in Berlin as an X-ray technologist and as an instructor for radiology for many years. I was more or less happy with my life, but one thing I always felt was missing, something that fills my whole being with joy. I started studying Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's books and listened to his tape discourses and my life became more and more joyful. But since I live in Rajneeshpuram in his physical presence, where I can see him every day, I feel my life overflowing with joy and love. In Satsang sharing silence with him, I feel his love and energy surrounding me. I become very silent and joyful inside. Totally connected with existence in love with my Master. Living in his presence gives my life the sense I was looking for so many years. It let me feel happy, joyful and thankful to existence and my Master, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. This country shouldn't miss the opportunity to have a Buddha of the 20th century living amongst us. Love. |
