A
loneness is the Everest of meditation, the
highest sunlit peak. Once you start
enjoying aloneness, there is no end to where
your joy stops growing. It goes on growing, it
goes on spreading; it seems as if the whole
universe is full of joy and full of fragrance.

hen the flower opens up, the fragrance has
to be released. Whether anybody comes to
know of it or not is immaterial. It is not a need, it
is overflowing joy. When there is overflowing
love it is compassion.

OSHO WORLD
W
hen the seed
comes to
blossom, only then
will you know what
was hiding in that
seed. So many flowers
-- such a small seed -so much green foliage,
such a beauty. But you
know only when
things become actual.
-Osho
A
loneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your
heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health. It
is the joy of being yourself. It is the joy of having
yourown space.

he launch of Krishna Week at
Osho World Galleria was a multidimensional event. An exhibition
of paintings by Surabhi Bali on Krishna,
the launch of fashion garments in the
colours of Krishna, captivating classical
numbers by eight-year old Ishita Anirudh
in devotion of Krishna, sharing a
commitment to assist poor widows and a
Krishna Leela dance ballet seemed like the
multi-dimensional facets of Lord Krishna.
The Chief Guest was renowned dance
exponent Sonal Mansingh and the Guest of
Honour was Raj Loomba, the Founder Trustee
and Chairman of The Loomba Trust recently
honoured with a CBE by Queen Elizabeth of
Britain. At the start, Ishita wowed a packed
Galleria with her Meera Bhajans and became the little
darling of the event.
Mr Loomba shared his personal inspiration of his father's concern
in assisting the needy and his widowed mother's courage in bringing
up and educating her children that inspired him to establish a trust
in her name to help widows worldwide. He quoted Osho's insight
about sharing instead of charity - a revolutionary concept.
India's ace cultural czarina Sonal
Mansingh beseeched Osho's presence for her
ballet on Krishna's exploits as a naughty child
who steals butter. Her expressive eyes and
graceful gestures brought the entire drama
and action alive for all. She was ably
accompanied by a singer and two musicians
and all of them made the event quite
memorable.
