To whom it may concern:

My communion with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is the greatest experience I ever had in my live.

I have never seen Him, but I recognized Him the moment I opened one of His books reading some sentences about love. Suddenly He was here.

I was waiting for Him for a long time, now I have found Him and I mirror myself in what He is teaching. With HIs love and His silent guidance my being is changing and opening everyday very gently. Thank you Bhagwan with all my heart.
