 Rosa Montero To whom it may concern My name is Rosa Montero and I am a violinist musician graduated by the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid. I am writing to you to give my personal and professional recognition to Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. He has shown me throug the song of his voice, the music that comes from the heart of the Divine and penetrates into my heart becoming my whole body an instrument of melody in the hands of God. Not only the violin, but my every fibre of my body dance in alive music. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has changed the total insight of my life. Thankfully I state here my international support to Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh as a man of exceptional ability in the world of Art. Signed: Rosa Montero |
