2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Down memory lane By Bodhi Heeren Another addition to the growing litterature by Western disciples telling about their life with a Master, and the growing number of books about Osho.The strength of Punya's book is undoubtedly in her very vivd almost impressionistic descriptions of nature, places and events. Obviously recollecting is her main interest rather than reflection which I must say I found somewhat disappointing from the founder and editor of the excellent webmagazine Oshonews. And like most authors in this genre she seems to lack the professional writer's ability to condense events and draw the essence out of situations. Instead we get very long accounts of how the procedures were in the kitchen in Poona and how specific types of buildings were constructed in Oregon which I doubt can interest manyb people - unless ofc they were there themselves.The book is well-written, Punya defintely has a gift for words, and rather complex in composition with several narratives unfolding at the same time, mainly the story of her life with Osho while he was alive and diary like entries from her life after that not least a visit to Poona in 2001.Punya comes a cross a a typical - some would say ideal - devotee. Working for and being in the close proximity of her master seems to be the essential in her life. In fact she states that when being summoned to a meeting with some of the feared 'moms' in Rajneeshpuram the thought of being send away from the place where "worse than death". Whereas critical thoughts and reflections seem foreign to her mind. Rightly she focusses on all the amazing feats of the commune in Oregon - I know many who loved being there - but that she did not have any grievances about its demise is unusual and probably a testament to her unwavering trust/faith. And strange in a book written many years later that she does not at all mention the waves of upheaval through the sannyas world in wake of these events. or try to draw some lessons from it. And that is perhaps the great flaw with this book in general that the writer does not seem willing to look at things from a later/higher perspective - which ofc could be said to be an attempt to leave the conclusions to the reader.I have read 'better' books about Osho like Veena's "Glimpses Of My Master", Shunyo's "Diamond days With Osho" or Niranjan's "I Leave You My Dream" but if you were there Punya might give you an interesting vehicle for time travel.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Extremely interesting and recommended By Bhagawati For someone to be a disciple of an enlightened mystic is an issue many people might find hard to fathom. Although the general public has always been highly interested in Osho and his ‘orange people’ the media hysteria almost never presented matters in a balanced way. This book is a very clear and honest account of Punya’s life with Osho and had me reading captivated to the very last page. Her incredible recollections of places and incidents brings the narrative to life and with the many photos available on her website, http://punya.eu/, a broad picture and understanding of commune life and relationship with the Master emerges. A very important book, extremely enjoyable and irresistible; highly recommended.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Living in the presence of an unpredictable and uncompromising Master By chinmaya Reading this takes me straight into the experience of being part of an experiment in communal living around a unique enlightened mystic. Punya tells it from the perspective of a very ordinary member of the community (a refreshing change from the numerous books detailing special relationships/meetings with Osho). The details of her life, work, meditations and spiritual insights are cataloged in (Swiss) detail, so that the reader begins to participate in the transformations she goes through and feel what it was like to yo-yo between making money in straight jobs in the West and living in the presence of an unpredictable and uncompromising Master.
