Who Am I?
|
Thirty-two years ago while traveling through India, I stumbled across a man who would change my life forever. Seeing him for the first time was like looking in a mirror at my own destiny. I saw in him the flowering of what was lying dormant as a seed in me. Hearing him speak was like listening to the music of a mountain stream as he gave words to my innermost thoughts and feelings. His name was
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and he was to become my spiritual master. |

Falling
in love with this remarkable man was to fall in love with my inner lover.
His eyes were windows to my soul and the skies beyond. In meeting
him, I ultimately met myself. On March 28, 1976, he gave me sannyas
and new name
Swami Anand Milarepa explaining that Milarepa
had been a yogi/saint who lived in Tibet during the tenth century
AD. He suggested that I find the book of his sutras calledThe One
Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa and "tune into it".

On
January 19, 1990, the master left-his-body. Shortly before, he dropped
his name and asked people to refer to him simply as Osho,
a word used to describe someone who has become one with
the oceanic experience of existence. Since this time, my connection with
him has deepened and expanded. His light shines throughout
my inner and outer world like a rainbow - always bringing new insights,
new understandings, greater ecstasies. My disciplehood
has become what he would describe as a Great Affair - a love affair with the whole existence. |
Osho
continues to be the greatest inspiration in my life. I am and will
be forever grateful to him. To this day, I experience him at my core
level of being. The longing that took me to his feet so many years
ago continues to take me ever deeper within myself. It is an eternal
voyage of self discovery.
My
music reflects my understanding of love and meditation.
Its themes are universal and can be appreciated by all fellow
travelers on the Path. In Oshos vision, we are only
on this beautiful planet to celebrate and rejoice the great mystery
of life - with our songs, our dances, our silences of the heart.
As humanity moves into the twenty-first century, this message
could never be more relevant.
