Osho: Intimate Glimpses

The last words Osho spoke before leaving the body:
“Anando will be my medium.”

Through a series of poignant memories and anecdotes, Anando offers a glimpse into the private life of the twentieth-century mystic, Osho, through her unique perspective as one of his caretakers and secretaries in the last years of his life.

These stories, never before shared publicly, show another side of the man described by The Times (London) as “one of the makers of the twentieth century”. Anando reveals the sense of humor and fearlessness with which he navigated the controversies that hounded him in his later years, as well as the immense compassion and love with which he worked on those closest to him.

Anando is one of the women in the ASHA Foundation, UK, list of 240 "influential, inspiring women from all walks of life and from around the world who are outstanding in their fields".

A former attorney and businesswoman, she quit her lucrative and successful worldly careers in the mid-1970s and travelled overland to India, where she met Osho. Intending to stay at his ashram for just two weeks, she stayed thirty years.

Along the way, she became his personal secretary, one of his caretakers, and an original member of his Inner Circle.
