… left his body on 13th September 2014.
From Jivana we hear that Sw. Anand Dwarka (aka Philip Hancock) of Fort Worth, Texas, architect, designer of the crematorium at Rajneeshpuram, died after a year-long struggle with cancer.
Jivana writes:
I met Dwarka on the very first day I opened the massive doors at Utsava, the then Rajneesh Meditation Center in Laguna Beach, California, having just arrived from the East Coast. Little did I know then what an epic and life altering journey we would take. We began to live together a year later, and we lived together for six years during the time of The Ranch, and then for a couple of years thereafter. And then, although the time came when our individual journeys went separate ways, we never disconnected until the day he died. The love we had forged in the Buddhafield went so deep, and was so exquisitely pure.
Dwarka always felt that Osho was the best thing that ever happened to him, and to the world. And his love affair with his master never wavered, ever.
During the time we lived together, Dwarka took on a life-altering transformation. He went from being a successful and talented architect, to being someone who only wanted to live in the moment, at the whim of existence…. I suppose it was his interpretation of going ‘The Way of the White Clouds’. And from all that I could tell, his road looked difficult. But whoever knows what each soul needs to complete itself and its lessons? Yet I know it was softened immensely by the many people who loved him simply because he was so enormously loving and lovable.
For the longest time, I could hardly bear to imagine my world without him in it. But true to form, the only real constant in our relationship was the imperative to surrender to the reality of ‘What’s happening now’. With him, I came understand what Oneness is. And without him that understanding remains, and sustains.
Fly free my beloved Dwarka… You did so well, and blessed so many with your love!

The precious timeless time that I had with you, will stay with me forever. I see you in the sunlight and I feel you in the rain. All my love is shimmering with your magnificent playful spirit. Love,

I remember when you first walked into my Moms home in Sedona, you were so enlightened and powerful, filled with peace and grace. A wild one for certain who seemed ready to celebrate your life and love with everyone who was blessed to know you. It is when I hear of friends such as yourself leaving planet that I know one day in the blink of an eye we will all be celebrating together once more in this amazing journey of oneness. We were so loved by our Master, what more can I say about that time? Catch ya on the other side my beautiful friend.
