Abadha

Our beloved friend Abadha left to the other shore early morning on 6th May after a short fight with cancer. We enjoyed endless beautiful talks with cakes and coffees. Hiking together was a pleasure too and not to forget sitting together in silence at the Osho International Meditation Resort. She took sannyas in Pune and visited the Resort ever so often.
