 Precept property Management Affidavit in Support of Bagwan Shree Rajneesh Rajneesh Hotel I am a professional in the field of Real Estate and Property Management. I have visited the Ranch in March of 83 and am very impressed. The building construction, the dam that was built, the farmland being worked and most of all the treatment and concern for all mankind is far above anything I have ever experienced. All has been inspired by Bagwan and has just mushroomed from there. The time I spent there, I felt a sence of well-being far greater that I have ever experienced. I am also a professional mother. My 17 year old son is visiting the summer festival and is experiencing some of the greatest feelings he has ever imagined. I feel the program is of great benefit to show mankind how nice it can be. I think that America should be greatful that Bagwan wanted to start his ranch here in the United States. I am in great support in allowing Bagwan to live here in the U.S. Love |
