By chance Veena came across an intriguing website where Osho’s references in his
discourses to China – people and places – have been mapped. ‘Dao Sites in China’ shows beautiful photos of the Hangu Pass near Lingbao, Henan Province.
Read the article Osho, Zen, Dao, China and Meditation to find out more.
Continuing the Chinese theme we thought you might like to look at Alok’s beautiful, beautiful website featuring his paintings
and calligraphy www.zencalligraphy.com. Be transported!
Warwick is now also on the OSHOinUK map of places to meditate. Surmayi is offering regular Osho Active Meditations and is open
to suggestions regarding meeting times. Location and contact address is on
our "regular meditations page".
Rakendra, the one from the Osho Humaniversity AUM writes: "I would like to invite you to the
Puravida Mega Aum we are having in Brighton on Sat 7th June.
We haven’t had one in quite a while and this one even has a PARTY!"
Also, you might have noticed that the AUM meditation is now available throughout the South of the UK (Exeter, Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Brighton). Please
check out our "events page" to see dates and locations.
Are you ready for the second instalment of the serialisation of A Seam for the Master?
It tells the story of how Veena came to design and sew the outfits for Osho’s photo sessions and how she found a clever solution for
his ‘pre-secured’ sleeping garment.

Changes at Croydon Hall: New housekeepers Dity, Nilaya and Anju. The office is now run by Leela (formerly from
Osho Leela) and by Anada who is also working as a web designer. Last but not least: IT wizard and cook Alesh.
See the pictures of the new staff and of those leaving.
In July we will celebrate Croydon Hall’s Tenth Anniversary during their traditional ‘Summer
Festival’. It came to my mind that it is good to remember that the origin of this celebration
is based on the Hindu tradition of visiting one’s Master on the day of the full moon to show our respect and devotion.
