Today’s day started very liseurly. Samadhan also stayed with us. Sw Arun talked with Kumar Sw ji about going to Chidvilas. There was a tentative plan but not sure. We inquired at the Kip’s Castle about the timings. They said they will close at 4pm.
After sometime, Sw Arun and Kumar sw ji decided to go and see Chidvilas and of course we were going too 
It was already 5 when we reached there, with only hope that we will see at least from outside and it started raining too.
Samadhan Tried to knock and talk to the people inside, no luck. Then Kumar sw asked one of his disciples to go and talk and amazingly, the manager himself knocked at the door and asked us to come in. He even let us into the 2nd Floor which was closed for the public. We were delighted. Not Surprizingly, the manager pretended that he did not know about Osho / Rajneesh and his occupancy of the place before the law firm.
The county owns the property now. The guys got annoyed when we started talking about buying the property.
But we finally were able to locate Osho’s bed room and the posh bathroom
It was a great day. We came back to the center and rested.
Kumar Swami Ji invited Sw Arun to his Samagam program. Me, Chanda, Samadhan , Satyanand, Narinder ji went to the event. THere wer about 700 people who came to see Kumar sw ji and he touched Sw Arun’s feets as his initiating Guru.
He spoke of Arun Sw ji so highly and respected him, very humble for the man of great reputation and fame. The program lasted for about 4 hours, very tiring. We then came (Me, Sw ji and Raman) back with Kumar Sw ji to his hotel (Hilton) where we three stayed over for a night.
I too sneaked into his room to meet in person. I was amazed by his simplicity and gratitude towards Sw Arun. We were booked a suite, bigger than his. Slept at 3am.
Day 1 – This day started with about 10 people who took the whole day off for the meditation camp. And it was Friday. Dynamic was great. But due to less sleep, I could not be total. Then Sw ji talked about Osho and we did Natraj meditation. Narinder has hosted the event very nicely. Due to uric acid problem, sw ji had pain in his legs.
I could see the pain in his voice, not for his body, but for his inability to be mobile for Osho’s work. I am always amazed to see his passion for Osho. I wish we could have a speck of this devotion.
We then went to the Vedic Society for some talks that Sw ji delivered. Surprising that there are still people who do havan and vedic studies.
Day 2 – People started showing up for this Saturday event. ABout 30-35 folks did Dynamic meditation. Sw hi then talked about Osho’svision, the disciplines. As we were going to visit Kumari Swami ji on Sunday evening, he announced that there will be sannyas on Saturday evening. I did not feels that there would be anyone to take sannyas. Sw ji explained about Osho’s way of life, and his incidents. At the end of the day 3 people were ready for Sannyas. 1 ma took mala again. It was fortunate to meet Sw Anand Ghan. He had planned to shoot Osho, but later became a sannyasin. I have recorded the intimate discussion and taken a lot of pictures.
Sannyas was explosive, So much energy and so much bliss. We danced for long. It was like being in Tapoban for me. Old sannyasins told us, “It was just like being with Osho during the sannyas initiation.” Above all Sw Ji was happy.
Day 3: Pain in Sw ji’s legs was not getting low, so he was worried about that. But he decided not to take more medicines. We did stop meditation in the afternoon. We had to go to Kumar Sw ji’s program in New Jersey, so we could not participate in the evening Satsang.
Sw ji rested all day. We were just around him. Talking and resting.
Camp is from Tomorrow. People have already started showing up.
Me, Chanda, Samadhan and Narinder head to JFK at 6am to pick sw Arun up from the airport. His flight landed 6:12 am (right on the money!) Rajesh Sw ji made it easy that he came to NY with Sw Arun. He was tired after a 30hrs after he left from Nepal.
He complained about pain in his knees and ankle, probably a uric acid attack due to exercsion. A whole day of rest made things a little bit ok.
We are happy that he is with us for quite some time. I hope that we take the best care of his health and keep him as comfortable as possible. talked with Rakesh and other friends, all are excited.
