How did you help Osho Rajneesh become an international brand?īhagwan was already well known internationally. How did Sheela Ambalal Patel become Ma Anand Sheela? What’s that one defining moment that made that switch?įalling in love with Bhagwan in 1972 was that defining moment, which transformed me and gave me the courage to undertake his work. All of these rules are the foundation of my fascinating life. I had seen them live and face life with love and courage. Both these qualities I inherited from my beloved parents. I was a happy-go-lucky person rooted in love and courage. What were your own ground rules of your fascinating life? Khaleej Times caught up with Sheela to get a sense of what it’s like debunking preconceived notions and enjoy the immersive experience of real-life challenges. Today, she is an American-Swiss national and has been running two nursing homes in Switzerland. They have given me the understanding to complete the circle of my life by my own rules.” Sheela served as Osho Rajneesh’s personal aide between 1981-85, when she overlooked the Rajneeshpuram ashram in Wasco County, Oregon, US. They have developed in me the concept of being there and living in the moment. This trio has prepared me to accept life as it comes. She writes: “It is my mother, father and Bhagwan (Osho Rajneesh) that I have learned from in my life. The memoir is a celebration and a glorious opportunity to remember those adventurous and intense moments, where even angels fear to tread. The memoir’s first chapter, or as Sheela would call Rule 1 - her definitive take on life lessons - dwells on the moral aphorism that pain cannot be avoided pain has to be endured, which has evolved as the running theme of her “intense, roller-coaster life”.
