The Osho Carnival of Life was created and filmed in 1992 to celebrate the occasion of Osho leaving-the-body. This January 19th marks thirty-six years.
The carnival was the brain-child of Mohi and Francesca. A large workshop was created in the Pune Commune (now called The Resort) where hundreds of people participated in a huge, energetic happening making all manner of costumes, floats, and rehearsing various acts. As you will see, even an elephant joined the party.
The video concept and editing was done by Loki, Vimal, and myself. It was “lost” for many years, but Bhikkhu from New Earth Records recently discovered it on his hard drive and shared with me. I did some additional restoration to get it to its original length. I don’t think I have ever seen so much joy gathered in one place!
Osho continues to inspire seekers from around the world. His “carnival of life” sends a powerful message to live a life of totality overflowing with meditation, love, creativity, and celebration.
