19th June, 09 – We started Dynamic on time and it went good for me. As we had to cook ourselves, we did our best. It was late at times but we made good meals. Chanda did an amazing Job at that. Sw ji was just relaxing and enjoying and getting over the tiredness.

20th June, 09 – Sudi and gang had arrived. It was good to see them after a year. Sw ji was also waiting for them since yesterday. Sudi told that his brother will be interested in Taking Sannyas. Joie’s friend also wanted to take her mala again from Sw ji. But it happenned that Sudi’s parents also joined in and a total of 6 people took sannyas. As always the energy was great. we had a wonderful celebration and a lot of silence.

21 June, 09 – Today we started leisurely as most of the participants had to leave.Joie and group left at 6 and sudi at 8. We were the only people left for today. After dynamic we went boating to the floating house where Sw ji meditated for some time and he loved it. Then Sw Gyan Keerti took us to a tour of his land. It is huge 130+ acres and beautiful . We were surprized by the modern technology that he has used to develop it, amazing. By this time Sw Arun wanted to stay there longer. He even said, “If i live in this place for another one month, i could do a lot of work on myself – I could be super Enlightened. After Kundalini we came down to the floating house again till it was dark.

We flew to Charolette in the evening via Jet Blue. Joie came to pick us up. Sonu came in too. We went to walmart on our way to get some food for the camp. It was almost 10:20 when we reached, everyone was tired and we devoured the idlis that Chetna had sent with Joie and Meghna. There were few people and sw ji was initially not so happy about the participants number being small. But this was about to change tomorrow.

Sw Gyan Keerti took a lot of care of Sw Arun.

We went to the temple program where sw ji delivered a talk after which we went to Mangala Ma’s house for inauguration of her center “Bhagwan Shree Meditation center” Although the place is small, it was full for the event. they will be doing weekly meditations and osho discourses. Mangala ma is one of the first batch of Osho Disciples.

Before this we went to Sw Satyananda’s place. I forgot to bring a mala for him. He welcomed sw ji and i was surprised by the way he did it. Indeed a good man with a lot of humor.

We went to get Sw ji’s Canada Visa. It took 5 hours to get it. So tired after that.
Sw ji wanted the East west program to be canceled and we did cancel it.
Today is his Birthday and we bought a nice fruit cake for the evening meditation.

Sw ji talked about Osho and importance of meditation and then we dived into the cake :-) . It was a nice celebration. His Uric acid problem looks like improving.

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.
