Energy Darshans

[portfolio_slideshow]

Osho, the genius master, created these special ‘energy darshans’ or sometimes called ‘close-up darshan’s in the late ‘70s and I was lucky to participate in three of them. I think we applied for them and a message came through telling me when to appear that night. I could almost taste the excitement in Buddha Hall as we waited to be called up. There were many beautiful women acting as mediums, who could respond to the music with their whole bodies…so beautiful to feel their presence.

When my name was called I went before Osho and he would choose one or a couple of mediums to assist in the energy. And then when we were all set, with eyes closed, his finger on my third eye, wild music began, the lights were turned off and on, off and on, off and on; it was total madness! I loved it. These pictures show one of my darshans, in which there are three in that series, the final one of me showing me with a look on my face – taste in my mouth of nectar – a taste I have never tasted before or since… the taste of the master! Notice the way he is looking at me: perhaps he has that taste too! What a lucky duck I am.

This is what cannot be said into words.
This is where language fails to express.
This evening is blessed because of you
entering into the innermost temple,
experiencing the ultimate flowering
of your potential.”

Osho, Zen: The Quantum Leap from Mind to No-Mind, Ch 8
