Before I leave the world I have to complete what I have started. I cannot leave my garden unfinished,” states Osho.

On the occasion of Mahaparinirvana Day this year, Anand Arun writes about his experiences in a meditation camp conducted by Osho in Dwarka, Gujarat, in October 1969.

“I can die, but not life. You can die, you will die – but not the cosmos, not the existence,” states Osho.

Mahaparinirvana — the Great Enlightenment

Q: When you came to say farewell to Dadaji on the podium in Buddha Hall, suddenly the area where you and Dadaji’s body were became like a film. You both seemed to be without substance.

Osho World released this video in memory of Devateerth Bharti, Osho’s father, who left his body on September 8, 1979 in Pune. Osho declared him enlightened and this date became the first Mahaparinirvana Day.

Nirvano remembers the day Osho’s father died and became enlightened.
