Osho: Intimate Glimpses

by Anando

This book is based on a series interviews with Sw Anand Bhikkhu and Waduda, in September 2010 in Santa Fe NM, USA. They are from Anando's recollection, prompted by the notebooks she kept as Osho's personal secretary.
Back cover:
Through a series soft 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 controve4rsies that hounded him in his later years, as well as the immense compassion and love with which he worked on those closest to him.

Dedication: With so much gratitude to Osho, who changed my life from misery to bliss (well, most of the time)

I read this beautiful little book in about 3 days. For such a short telling, there was so much to digest. It transported me in a very fulfilling way. Anando covered important aspects of her life with Osho in a way that so gracefully answered aspects of her journey that perhaps many of us have wondered about. Reading about OSHO’s treatment by the authorities in the USA was horrible to revisit, but even more distressing was to recall the many many countries that denied him permission to stay. These stories broke my heart. But most enduring are the stories of OSHO’s warmth, humour and love. This is a relationship so beautifully shared.
