 Ma Prem Kailash To whom it may concern. My first meeting with Bhagwan and his work has changed my whole life completely. Its nearly impossible to explain to anybody what can happen in his presence. I sometimes come up to Rajneeshpuram to visit the ranch and to see Bhagwan driving by with his car, and I can feel such an incredible energy full of love and ecstasy. It is so beautiful to see what is going on here in this place, especially during the last year. That was only possible because of his presence and his being here with all his lovers. I can feel here so much love and work energy, in fact it is really worshipping, what we are doing here. During the Festival we have worshipped sometimes from 7.30 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. This is a Buddhafield and without Bhagwan’s physical presence it would not be possible to create a community like it is happening here. I can feel through his silence that I receive so much energy through his being here. The quality of my life has changed so much since I came to know Bhagwan. Everything is so easy and light and positive and I am so grateful and thankful that he is my master, and that he allows me to sit with him in silence in the satsang. He is a real genius and it is so much needed for the world that he stays here with us and gives us so much energy to continue this beautiful community. Love, |
