“Definitely I feel very blessed in my life to have met so many realized people to support this journey home to essence and feeling blessed, that I had so many opportunities to share my insights.I am grateful that I could get to know so many countries and cultures, so many wonderful authentic people, imbibe ancient and modern wisdoms and living truth.

I am deeply thankful to Osho, who gave me this name Samvara (the mystic union of all form), as a constant single pointed reminder of true reality.
