A gentle, strong, warm-hearted man
by Raji
Our dear friend, fellow-traveller and ‘one of us’, Riktam Carl left his body at the age of 77.
He was our distribution man, at Osho Times, Innenwelt Verlag, Osho Uta, Meditation and More. Is something needed to be done? Carl always managed. As a night guard he looked after the building.
Carl and I met at Veeresh’s Humaniversity in the Netherlands. He was a gentle, strong, warm-hearted man, a colorful being. He loved to meditate and loved to sing and play on his guitar.
Carl had a long-term frienship with Sajni and was also there for her two children.
For over 10 years he shared a flat with his good friend Chetan-Rita Schröder in what was formerly the Krishnamurti House, a community house in Cologne.
Over the last few months, we saw Carl stepping out of small talk completely and pulling back from socializing.
Carl left his body suddenly, supposedly due to heart failure. He looked peaceful when he was found at his home.
On Sunday, 29 December, we honored him during Satsang at the Osho Meditation Centre in Cologne.
Fly high, beloved!
