Sahajo
Sahajo (Hermine de Heus) is overleden op 31 maart 2017 op 85-jarige leeftijd.
Zij ontving sannyas in december 1980 van Osho in Pune en bezocht centra in Antwerpen, Leuven, Den Haag en Amsterdam. Zij ‘worshipte’ ook een tijdje in de truckfarm in Rajneeshpuram.
Zij bleef ondanks de zware beroerte die haar trof in 1996 erg van schilderen houden. Het schilderij hieronder is met haar linkerhand geschilderd.
Dankbaar dat zij onze moeder is geweest,
Nicky en Agyan

Death is not there, it is a lie – but it appears very real. It only appears very real, it is not. It appears so because you believe too much in your separate existence. It is in believing that you are separate from existence that you give reality to death. Drop this idea of being separate from existence, and death disappears. If I am one with existence, how can I die?

Subodhi
Zondag 20 november 2016 heeft Puja Subodhi Heijens, omringd door vriendinnen en veel liefde, haar lichaam verlaten. De crematie was op maandag 28 november bij De Nieuwe Ooster aan de Kruislaan in Amsterdam. Op zaterdag 3 december werd er een Death Celebration gehouden in Wajid Osho Meditatie Centrum.
And death is not against life; it does not end life, it only brings life to a beautiful peak. Life continues even after death. It was there before birth, it is going to continue after death. Life is not confined to the small space that exists between birth and death, on the contrary births and deaths are small episodes in the eternity of life.

Adi
Swami Anand Adi heeft op 21 augustus 2016 zijn lichaam verlaten.
If you have known anything of the transcendental in you, death will reveal to you the transcendental in the universe – then death is no more a death, but a meeting with existence, a date with existence.

Deva Boersema
Op donderdag 10 maart 2016 is Deva Boersema overleden. Op 9 februari 1980 kreeg ze sannyas van Osho en haar hele leven is hij een bron van inspiratie voor haar geweest. Deva woonde in Uffelte (Dr) en overleed, in overgave, te midden van kinderen, kleinkinderen, familie en vrienden aan de gevolgen van een vorm van kanker. In de tekst op haar kaart stond : Voluit geleefd, moedig gestorven.
If you can dive deeply into love you will be surprised that you have arrived at death. That’s my own experience – I am not propounding a theory, I am simply stating my own existential state, my own existential experience. I am only stating a fact: if you love deeply you are bound to come to the phenomenon of death. And when you come through love to death, even death is beautiful, because love makes everything beautiful. When you come through love to death, love glorifies death, love beautifies death; even death becomes a blessing. Those who have known love will know death as the ultimate in orgasm.

Amrito
Op 27 februari 2016 is Swami Deva Amrito (Jan Foudraine) overleden, een dag na zijn 87e verjaardag. Wij denken met grote waardering aan de rol die hij in Nederland gespeeld heeft in de jaren 1979/1980, waarbij hij als ‘Ambassadeur van Osho’ bekendheid gaf aan diens visie. Vooral zijn eerste boek ‘Oorspronkelijk Gezicht’ maakte grote indruk.
Hij gaf op vele plaatsen lezingen over Osho, die veel publiek trokken en velen een reis naar de ashram in Poona heeft doen ondernemen. In het boek ‘Hoe Osho in Mijn Leven Kwam’ is een groot aantal verhalen te vinden, waarbij de naam Amrito en ‘Oorspronkelijk Gezicht’ ter sprake komen. Wij herdenken Amrito met groot respect.
And you have been objectively successful — you have convinced thousands of people. Since your going to Holland, many many Dutch people have arrived, and more are arriving, and more will go on arriving. You have created a great stir. You have touched many people’s hearts. And it has been a great experience for your inner growth too. The impact that you created has not got into your head yet; it has not made you more of an egoist. In fact, it has made you more humble. It may not have been exactly Wu-Wei, but it was very close. And I was not expecting it to be absolutely Wu-Wei, but it has been more than I was expecting. […] You have created a chain which will go on. And I would like many of my sannyasins to be so excited, to feel the urgency, to go to their countries and spread the word. And you will have to shout from the tops of the houses.

The greatest mystery in life is not life itself, but death. Death is the culmination of life. the ultimate blossoming of life. In death the whole life is summed up, in death you arrive. Life is a pilgrimage towards death. From the very beginning, death is coming. From the moment of birth, death has started coming towards tou, you have started moving towards death.
