This afternoon I heard that Karunesh had left his body from Sangha France, a group of loving friends who gathered around him in Paris, where he lived for many years. In mid-December, he was hospitalized with respiratory complications from a COVID-19 infection and has been on a ventilator in Intensive Care ever since. The Sangha met daily to chant and meditate for him, a gathering that poured forth love and light and healing.
Anand Karunesh Mamet, what to say about him? We became friends because he and Purushottama were. We would meet up with him on our travels, most recently, though not recent, in Paris.
Karunesh dedicated his life to meditation, chanting and bringing others to meditation, to Osho. He gave talks on French radio, he organized daily meditations, he was tireless. And, he was such a delightful, outrageous, authentic, loving, generous being.
May he fly high and disappear into the one. Osho was with him each step of the way in his living. Those friends, whom he had introduced to Osho and his meditations, surrounded him if not physically, certainly with hearts filled with love as he left this shore.
Karunesh has over the years contributed many articles to Osho News. His website: andreasmamet.com

Anand means bliss and karunesh means god of compassion. So the whole name will mean god of compassion and bliss. And compassion is going to be your path. Feel as much compassion as possible. Feel unconditionally compassionate. And give as much as you can give of your love. Share your life as much as you can share.
Sharing your energies will be your surrender. Through sharing you will attain to surrender, and through compassion you will arrive.
You are ready for me and much is possible now. You have prepared it.
…Much is going to happen, just allow it to happen. In fact, there is nothing needed to be done; one just has to allow. A life goes on happening on its own accord. We unnecessarily make efforts and struggle. It is not needed. Just a trust is needed – that whatsoever happens will be good. Nothing wrong ever happens, cannot happen, because we belong to this universe and this universe belongs to us. We are always at home. We are not strangers.
And there is no question of any fight. There is nobody to fight with. People who have notions of fighting and conquering and reaching somewhere and doing something, and who feel that if they don’t do, nothing will happen, are fighting with their own shadows, and they will be and feel, in the end, very ridiculous, because whatsoever happens was going to happen. If they had allowed, they would have saved much trouble for themselves and much torture.
So simply be here – meditate, delight… delight in just being here, and enjoy it….
Osho, Dance Your Way to God, Ch 16
