Tarpan’s thoughts on the subject of smell, and an excerpt from the chapter titled, Horse Dung and History of Smell from his recently published book, The Crows of Kedarnath

“Although they were blind, they started finding that this man walks in a different way, talks in a different way, knows things that they don’t know. He says, ‘Now it is sunrise.’ He says, ‘Now the whole sky is full of stars’ – and those blind eyes could not see any star.”

“What calamity has happened to smell? There seems to be no reason why smell has been so suppressed. No culture anywhere has consciously suppressed it but it has become suppressed.”

A letter from Ma Divyam Ashna to Keerti who ran the retreat at Osho Nisarga; “While conflict raged in the outside world, we turned inward. We sat in silence. We meditated. We watched. And we healed.”
