Dear Sir, | |||
I am a Diplome-engineer in printing technics and publications. For five years I have worked for the ’Stuttgarter Zeitung’, a daily newspaper and another year for ’Franckh Verlag", a big scientific publishing house. For business reasons I have to visit each year the Frankfurt book fair. There I noticed a growing interest in the publications of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. There are also more and more books in German of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh coming out. | |||
When I studied His publications and experienced His meditations I came to know that He is a man of immense intelligence, knowledge and wisdom. His message reaches more and more of the intelligent young people in Germany and all over the world. And He has become a spiritual teacher of international recognition. | |||
Even now, when He’s silent, His words have great influence on my work and my life. He has become my religious Master now, and whether He speaks or is silent, I am infinitely grateful to be in His presence. | |||
Sincerely yours <br> | |||
