Part VIII : Osho’s secretary, Sheela leaves, and information
about crimes
On 14 September 1985, Sheela and twenty sannyasins who have
been working closely with her leave the ranch. Ma Prem Hasya now
becomes Osho's personal secretary.
On 16, 17 and 18 September 1985, Osho holds press conferences
in the mandir, to which world press and all sannyasins are invited.
Osho states information has come to light that Sheela committed
several crimes against both sannyasins and non-sannyasins.
Isabel, who liaises with the press says: Osho, I have told the
press You will give a statement before they ask questions.
This is a moment of great rejoicing for my commune. I have been
silent for three and a half years. The people who were in power
took advantage of my silence. Because I was not in contact with
the sannyasins, I was not aware what is being done to them. As
I started speaking again, a strange thing happened. Sheela became
very sad. She was the president of the Rajneesh Foundation International
and my personal secretary. Everybody in the commune was immensely
ecstatic that I am speaking again except Sheela. This was strange.
But just within few days it became clear what is the reason. While
I was in isolation and in silence, she has become a celebrity.
Through the news media she has become famous all over the world.
She was representing me. Because I started speaking again, she
found that her ego is shrinking, her image from the television
screen is disappearing. It was bound to be so. If I am speaking
myself, then there is no need for any mediator, any messenger,
any representative. She started going more and more to Australia,
to India, to Europe, for any small excuse. Finally when she came
back she wrote a letter to me that, "I don't find the same
excitement as I used to find before. But I am happy in Europe,
happy in Japan, happy in Australia." I replied to her that,
"If you want to know the real reason of your happiness, I
can come to Europe, to Australia, to Japan, wherever you want
to check what is the real reason of your happiness. You have become
addicted to be famous, and this is a far worse drug than any drug
in existence." And my sannyasins are not power-oriented.
They are not political people. They are absolutely apolitical.
The world has suffered too much from politics. At least let
few intelligent people decide to be dropouts from all dirty politics—and
there is no other kind.
And then suddenly one day, just one day before, Sheela and all
her gang simply left America, without even giving any cause why
they are leaving. It was strange. And the moment they left, other
sannyasins started informing things which are ugly, sad, but I
have to say them to you because I don't want to happen such things
again in this commune or anywhere else. The moment their airplane
left, immediately people started coming, saying so many things
that they have done while I was in silence, that it seemed, listening
to them, that instead of being a meditation commune they had turned
it into a fascist concentration camp.
First they tried to kill three people, three people who were
very close to me: my physician, my dentist and my caretaker. Because
these were the three people who had the opportunity to meet me
except Sheela. She wanted nobody to meet me, for the simple reason
because they may inform me what is going on in the commune and
what she is doing there. So finally they decided that these three
people have to be given slow poison. Now there are witnesses who
participated in their meetings, but they were afraid that if these
people can kill my physician, they can kill anybody. One woman
who has reported that she was in the meeting and left in the middle,
disgusted, feeling sick, that what kind of people are these? And
the innocent sannyasins trusted them absolutely. But she herself
became so much afraid that for six months she has not eaten the
food in the commune's restaurant. She was getting food from outside.
And it really happened. My caretaker once went into Jesus Grove
where Sheela and her gang was living. She took a cup of tea and
fell immediately sick. And the sickness was absolutely strange.
She is healthy, young, there was no reason for it. Doctors could
not find any reason why her heart is beating so fast. For three
hours the heart was going just crazy. All their medicines were
of not much help. But nobody thought about it, that she has taken
a cup of tea and somebody could have poisoned her.
But it happened to Devaraj, my physician. After few days he
took a cup of coffee in Jesus Grove and came from there. Because
he is a doctor, has the highest qualifications from England, he
immediately suspected that he has been poisoned. He was entered
into the nursing home here, and there too he was injected poison
again. And now many people have come, that Sheela was researching
for some poison which can in slow doses kill a person in a long
period of time, so nobody will suspect.
Third time, here in this meditation hall Devaraj was injected
again. He immediately showed to people around him, pulled his
pants and showed blood where the injection has been put. They
delayed the ambulance to come here. All these informations have
come within two days. The ambulance people have informed that
they were told to delay as much as possible, then take him as
slowly—because he refused to go to the medical center here.
He was to be taken to Bend. So "Take him slowly to the airport."
And the pilots were informed that there is no hurry: "Go
as slow as possible."
And these were the poisons which are not detectable. He remained
sick, became okay. Hasya was his wife, was looking after him.
The doctors in Bend told Hasya there was no disease, it seems
to be simply a case of certain poisoning which cannot be detected.
They said exactly the same has happened one year before to the
attorney of Jefferson County, Sullivan. He was poisoned in the
same way. Nobody knows, perhaps the same people who had poisoned
Devaraj were poisoning Sullivan, because this commune's land is
divided half in Wasco County, half in Jefferson County, and it
has much to do with the attorney of Jefferson County.
Many more things have surfaced. We are reporting to the police,
to the government, because the whole bunch has immediately disappeared
and they must have been planning for months. One information has
come that at the election time last year, Sheela and her group
of six, seven people tried to put chemicals in all the vehicles
of police and officers in Dalles, so the vehicles could not move.
And they were successful. Not only that, what I cannot even conceive,
they tried to poison the water system in Dalles. They did not
succeed in it, but they made every attempt.
Now, these people are absolutely criminals, inhuman, brutal,
fascist in their outlook. Here in the commune they were sorting
out anybody who had any independent mind. And my whole teaching
is to have independent mind! Don't believe anything unless you
know it. Be skeptical. But because I was silent, they were doing
just the other. They were saying, "Believe, and surrender.
And all these instructions are coming from Osho." They were
making their instructions, people were writing letters to me,
they were never reaching to me. They had created a small fascist
state here, so many people left just because of them who wanted
to be here with me, who have come from long away, who have sold
their everything just to be here with me. With tears in their
eyes they had to leave, because they could not surrender to any
stupid kind of thing. For example, if you tell somebody that,
"Go and poison" or "Inject poison to somebody,"
they could not believe that this can be my instruction. And they
have come here for me, not for Sheela.
I have been teaching my whole life that my people have to be
absolutely nonpolitical, but in three and a half years Sheela
was functioning just like a politician, third-grade politician.
It was ugly to take over Antelope. We are here, just guests of
Oregonians. To take those poor old people's house does not seem
right. I would like the Oregonians and the people of Antelope,
if they can buy the properties which Foundation owns, we will
vacate Antelope. They can have their place. That is their town.
It belongs to them. And we have no hostility against anybody.
In fact, we are part of Oregon to them. And we have no hostility
against anybody. In fact, we are part of Oregon now. It does not
matter that you have been hundred years here and we have been
only four years. Years don't make any difference. Now this earth
is ours, this sky is ours. And we have done everything to change
this desert into an oasis. And we want to change this whole place
in such a lush green holiday resort that it becomes the best tourist
center in America.
We need all support from Oregonians, from Americans, from everybody.
Ours hands are stretched and waiting for their hands….
We can understand, human nature is always suspicious of strangers.
We are strangers. If they are suspicious of us, there is nothing
to be disappointed. Just we have to make them aware of our way
of life, our creativity, our joy, our celebration. Just we have
to welcome them as guests, just to have a feel that we are human
beings. Red clothes don't make any difference. Everybody behind
the clothes is naked, red or blue or black does not make any sense.
I have called you media people here especially to inform you
a glad news, that this commune is free from a fascist regime.
Adolf Hitler has died again. And now we would like in every possible
way to be an intrinsic part of Oregon, to contribute whatsoever
we can contribute, and expect your friendship, your love, your
hospitality. And you will never repent that we came here. We will
make this place so beautiful that Oregon will be proud of it.
When we had come just four years before, there was only one house,
and one hundred twenty-six square mile desert For fifty years
there was nobody to purchase it. It was for sale for fifty years.
Who is going to purchase a desert? But when I heard that it is
a desert, I said, "It is a good challenge. Let us try to
make it an oasis." And we have immensely succeeded. But that
success goes to my sannyasins, not to that fascist gang. These
people have been working twelve hours, fourteen hours a day. And
those people were trying to kill our own sannyasins. They were
going to kill whole Dalles. And just because I was absent, uninformed,
they have taken in their hands whatsoever they wanted to do.
You will be surprised to know that they far transcended Nixon.
They bugged houses, they bugged every place where they thought
somebody may be not in favor of them. But strangest thing is my
own bedroom, my own sitting room, was bugged. And to me they were
saying, "We love You, Osho. We have never loved anybody so
much." Of course. If you had not loved me, why you should
bug my bedroom, where I am alone? Perhaps once in a while in sleep
I may deliver a speech. But what else is there to be bugged? It
seems these people could have even killed me. Because my silence
was favorable to them, my absence would have been more favorable.
And if I was dead, they could have worshiped my dead body, made
a beautiful marble memorial, and be in full power to do whatsoever
they want to do.
I came to know only late that they are bringing street people
for a program here. They had already planned, people had gone
to pick up, buses had moved. And I asked, "What is the reason?"
Because I am not much interested in uneducated, illiterate, street
beggars. I am not much interested. My interest is in intelligentsia.
All my people are university graduates with masters' degrees or
doctors' degrees. I don't want to lower the standard of the commune.
But they said, "It is only for three months, and we are having
it because we have surplus money out of the festival, two and
half million dollars we have more, so we can share in some humanitarian
work." And this was a lie. They were even lying to me, because
today I inquired and found that we are fifty-five million in debt.
They wasted almost three million dollars and created unnecessary
hostility, created some ugly publicity. We are not interested
in publicity. We are certainly interested that whatever is the
truth about us should be known by everyone, so nobody lives in
deceptions, gossips. But we are not interested in publicity. We
really want that we forget the whole world and the world forgets
us and forgives us, so we can live here silently and peacefully
and do our thing.
And then they made in Antelope a housing complex, and never told
me exactly what are their intentions about it. I thought it must
be for festival purposes, when more sannyasins are there. Only
at the last date, next day they were going to have a press conference,
and they had to inform me because I was going to be in the press
conference. If I had been silent there was no need even to inform
me. They informed me that they want to make that housing complex,
which can accommodate five hundred people, and they have wasted
almost two million dollars on it, they want to make it a AIDS
home. I said, "It is good that you are feeling so compassionate
about people who are having AIDS, but you should think also of
all the people around Antelope whose life will be in danger. You
can put the whole life of Oregon in danger, because AIDS spreads
not only by sex contact,it can spread, just by kissing. It can
spread even by somebody's tear. It can spread, somebody eating
with a spoon is not sterilized and you use it. Saliva is a carrier."
I said, "This is not right. You are not only putting whole
Oregon's people in great danger, you are putting our own commune
in danger. Our doctors will have to look after them. Our nurses
will have to look after them. And the same doctor and the same
nurses will be looking after the commune." I had to stop
it. That's why the great press conference that was going to happen
did not happen. Instead, this great press conference is happening.
That press conference would have been a curse. This is a blessing.
I would like the media people to spread the news to the farthest
corner of the world, because I have my sannyasins around the world,
almost more than one million. And these seven people have gone
to Europe, and they can do harm to other sannyasins, other communes.
They are expert in lying. So please let the message go throughout
the world that a group of criminals has reached in Switzerland.
Sheela and Puja are the leaders of the group, and they should
be avoided more than AIDS!
Now you can ask any question if you have. press01
When did you know that she had left?
I knew when I came back from my ride.
Every day I go at two o'clock for a ride in the forest, in the
mountains. When I came back then I came to know that she has left,
and I was informed that she has left forever. last302
But knowing they were criminals, why didn't you stop them?
There was no solid proof. It was just rumors. Only when they left
people started opening their mouth, because they were afraid that
these people can kill them. They have already killed. They have
already burned houses. They have already poisoned people. So everybody
was afraid to open his mouth. And if anybody disobeyed them, they
simply sent the person to another commune far away in Europe.
So people were simply keeping quiet.
The moment she left, immediately—almost like an explosion—people
started coming with all kinds of stories.
Now there is a office here for FBI, state police, Wasco County
police, city police, who are taking their statements. I have given
it to the government that they should look into the whole matter.
last310
Sheela has done much good, ninety-nine percent good. The whole
credit of keeping all the commune together, of creating houses
for five thousand people with all the modern facilities, with
central airconditioning—I don't think any city is totally
air-conditioned as you are—of giving you the best food possible….
She has done immense good to you, and you should be grateful for
it. The credit goes to her. Only one percent she missed, and that
seems to be natural to human nature, particularly for people like
Sheela.
Sheela had no spiritual aspirations. Seeing that she has no potential,
at least in this life…. And this was my impression on the
very first day she entered my room in 1970—that she was
utterly materialistic, but very practical, very pragmatic, strong-willed,
could be used in the beginning days of the commune…because
the people who are spiritually-oriented are stargazers….
Sheela was not a stargazer. The reason I had appointed her my
secretary was basically this: she was not interested in meditation,
she was interested in making roads, houses—which meditators
would need. And she did her job well. Just one percent she took
advantage of the opportunity, because I was not available to you.
Five thousand people she could manipulate in my name, by saying,
"This is what our Beloved Master wants." Now I have
come to know things from sannyasins that I had no knowledge of.
But each thing that she wanted, she said was wanted in my name.
For example, if you were told to make a ditch for electric wires,
you made it. You have nothing to do with the crime, although the
ditch was made to bug the houses. But how can you know the difference,
if you are not an electrician or an electronics engineer—that
the wires are not for electricity but for bugging? You saw the
wires, you have made the ditch; still you are innocent.
Only the group of twenty people who have fled with her knew perfectly
well what was happening. They had made the whole system of bugging.
This is just the fear of any person who becomes ambitious for
power. He is always afraid.
Out of fear she drove away all the people who could have been
rebellious, who could have doubted—because they have lived
with me longer than Sheela, they knew my ideology. They could
not believe that I was creating a religion, that she was the high
priestess of the religion. She threw them out, harassed them in
such a way that they had to leave.
Only the group of twenty people that she had chosen—they
were all new, they had not known me before. They were not aware
of my ideology, my approach, my respect for everybody. They were
simply gullible. And because Sheela made them heads of corporations,
naturally they were happy. They were not expecting—new people
getting all the power…. And she made them commit crimes—all
of them. This is a simple strategy. If all those people have committed
crimes, then nobody is going to open his mouth, because he will
be caught too.
She tried to kill three of the people who were intimate to me,
for the simple reason that she was afraid these three people had
the opportunity to approach me without her permission: my physician,
my dentist, and my caretaker. They were living with me in the
same house, but they were not aware of anything until she started
poisoning them. bond18
As far as the future is concerned of anybody, one thing has to
be understood, that it is not determined. Somebody may be absolutely
loving this moment and next moment he may murder someone.
You cannot decide what is going to happen in the next moment.
And this is one of the man's privilege, that his future is not
determined—that means his future is free and he has a freedom
to move. The sinner can become a saint, the saint can become a
sinner….
So I had no idea that Sheela—who has never done anything
like that—will turn into a criminal. But she alone is not
responsible for it. The politicians forced her; the Oregonians,
their hostility forced her. She must have some instinct in her
unconscious that became conscious, took advantage of the situation.
But she was not alone. The hostility outside, the constant threat
of those people—that they will kill her, they will kill
me, they will come and bulldoze the whole commune—by and
by she started functioning actually like those people. It is almost
human and understandable. last317
If you are an enlightened man, how could it be that for so long
Sheela and her gang were able to carry on their business here?
Enlightenment has nothing to do with it. There is no contradiction.
To be enlightened simply means I know myself. That does not mean
that I know everybody. That does not mean that I know the future,
tomorrow. It simply means that I know my consciousness is fully
awakened, twenty-four hours. I know my inner light; I know my
eternity, my deathlessness. It has nothing to do…. In fact,
if I was not enlightened, perhaps Sheela may not have been able
to do what she was able to do, because then I would have been
just as cunning, as political, as suspicious as everybody else.
My enlightenment makes me loving without any condition, trusting
without any condition. It brings my childhood back to me, my innocence.
And I still trust and love those people who have deceived. That
is their problem, that they deceived; it does not change my attitude.
If they can change my attitude they become my masters.
Nobody, by doing anything, can change my attitude. If I love you,
even if you assassinate me, I will still continue to love you.
Your assassination makes no difference. You can assassinate me
but you cannot assassinate my love. last230
In fact Sheela had managed that my house is almost outside the
city. And she has managed that the commune and my house are almost
separate entities. My doctor…she gave good excuses, good
explanations: that my doctor has not to go to the hospital because
he checks me, looks after me, he can bring any infection from
the hospital, so he need not go there. He should remain in the
house, do some editing work. My dentist should not go out, he
should do some edition, editor's work. And my caretaker certainly
has no time to go out; from 6:00 early in the morning late 11:00
when I go to sleep, she is continuously running for everything
for me.
So they had managed that these people don't come in contact with
commune, and the people who were committing crimes, they have
specifically told them—now they are coming out—that
never say anything to Osho's place, whoever lives there, don't
say anything to those people. They have completely isolated my
house in the excuse that I need silence, isolation, so nobody
should go there. And nobody should come out from there. She did
it perfectly well. She had good excuses.
So as these people slowly became aware from friends or somebody
phoned, their phones were bugged, taped. Their rooms were bugged.
These are now available. last228
Slowly I came to know that this small gang is demolishing all
the small centers and making big communes in Europe. They demolished
hundreds of small centers and forced people to move to six big
communes so that they can be controlled centrally.
They completely destroyed the English commune, which was a flourishing
commune. Four hundred sannyasins were in the commune and almost
two thousand sannyasins used to come for festivals. It was a beautiful
place. And they were looking for a bigger place because they could
not manage more than four hundred people.
But these people simply shifted all the people from the English
commune to European communes and sold the property, closed the
small centers and told the sannyasins that they have to go to
European communes. They collected all the children from everywhere
and they were trying to put them in Holland in a separate commune
for children so they can be controlled.
The whole idea was to centralize everything, particularly finances.
And they made their center in Germany, in Cologne, so from there
they would control the whole of Europe.
These people were doing exactly the same as all the religions
have done. They have destroyed the individuals, they have destroyed
their freedom, they have destroyed their joy of doing something
on their own. last403
I had to come out of silence because I started becoming aware
from my people…because three people were able to approach
me—my physician, my dentist and my caretaker—and Sheela
and her gang tried to poison all the three people and to kill
them….
So from these three people I became of aware what is going on:
"Your commune has become almost a concentration camp. Everybody
who is intelligent is being thrown out, in some way or other pressurized,
forced, humiliated. The vice-chancellor of our university left,
the chancellor of our university left, a few very good therapists
left, a few people who have been with me for almost a decade,
utterly in love, had to leave, and with tears in their eyes, because
Sheela did not want anybody who could rebel against her.
The moment I became aware of the situation, I declared that from
tomorrow I am going to speak. last228
How are You going to see that such a fascist regime can never
happen again in your commune?
At least in my lifetime it won't happen, because I am not going
into silence again—just so that nothing like this happens—and
I am making every possible arrangement that even if I am not here,
it will not happen. For example, I am decentralizing the power.
Sheela had all the power in her hands.
Now I am distributing it into ten corporations so ten people will
be equally powerful and they will all will be chosen from their
corporations.
Secondly, I am making it that the people should not remain long
time in power. At the most, one year, six month to one year should
be the longest term, then they should rotate. So nobody takes
it for granted that it is his power.
So decentralization and rotation of the people, so many more people
have the chances to show their ability, their potentiality, capacity,
and nobody becomes addicted that it is something that is his,
nobody else can have it. last317
I have chosen Prem Hasya as the President, because of her very
creative mind. She, with her husband, has created one of the best
movies, Godfather, and she came close to me because she wanted
to make a movie on me, on the sannyasins and my whole way of life.
So she was working on it, that's why she had come. And I saw in
her intelligence, creativity, a very loving heart, and no desire
for power.
I have given again places to women…. The commune president
is now Anuradha who has been with me almost for ten years, doing
any kind of work, comes from one of the richest families in England—so
there is no question of that money can become important to her—and
is ready to do anything. She was very friendly to Sheela, but
Sheela could not take her into her group for the simple reason
because her love towards me and to the commune is so much that
she will not do any such thing that goes against my ideology,
so she was left out.
Just one woman cannot destroy my respect for womanhood. I will
go on giving chances again and again, for the simple reason: for
thousands of years women have not been given chance.
So it is possible that when they get the chance—it is just
like a hungry man who has been hungry for many days is bound to
eat too much and is bound to become sick by eating. That's what
happened to Sheela: she had never seen so big money, she had never
seen so much power, in my name she had ten thousand people who
could have died or done anything…. She was just a waitress
in a hotel…and the mind has not changed! last317
On 18 September during a press conference, Osho reveals Sheela
fled because of grand jury indictments
In fact, just now I have been informed, before I reached you,
that the day she left with her group she had received some information
from a friend who is in contact with the U.S. Supreme Court chief
justice in Oregon and she had received the message that grand
jury is to convene soon. That is the reason that she suddenly
packed and escaped because these are the twenty people who have
escaped, who have done every kind of crime. She knew it, that
these will be indicted.
But I will say to her, this is no way to face reality. Come back
and face the grand jury and if you have committed any crime, then
accept it. There is no need to hide. This will give you respect
of the whole community. press03
Is this being investigated now by the authorities?`
Yes; FBI and State Police and other agencies—county police.
They are all having a office here and people are going and revealing
everything that they know.
You're cooperating with that?
Absolutely. I am absolutely against crime, and I am all for law.
last302
Do you plan to talk to the FBI yourself and give a deposition
about Sheela?
If they ask me. My power of attorney is with my secretary….
We will see. If they want to interview me, I am perfectly happy.
To me, it makes no difference whether it is a journalist or an
FBI officer. last228
You refer to jail as a university for criminals. But by calling
in the law enforcement agencies and giving them evidence against
Sheela and her gang, if they are convicted, they will be put in
jail.
We will fight for them if they come back. We will not support
their criminality, we will not support that whatever they have
done is wrong. But we will fight that whatever they have done
simply signifies that they are psychologically sick people and
they should be given to a psychiatric hospital. Or you can give
them back to us; we can treat them in our own university. Or if
you think it will be better to send them to another psychiatric
place, then send them there.
But putting them in jail is simply barbarous. We will fight that
up to the Supreme Court for all those people.
In other words, you're turning them in, turning evidence in against
them, and yet….
I am, yes. This is the situation. I am giving every evidence against
them and yet I will try to save their humanity, their dignity,
their future, if they come back. If they don't come back, then
it is beyond our hands.
They need not have escaped. They should have simply told me
that, "This is what we have done," and we would have
made them confess to the court clearly, and we would have fought
for them. Not that they are not guilty; they are accepting that
they are guilty, we are accepting they are guilty. But our fight
is that the guilty should not be punished, he should be treated.
It would have been an unprecedented case, and may have opened
a new door for all criminals in the future. last230
I have heard that many people are very much disturbed with a
few coordinators who have been in with Sheela and her gang. Certainly
you feel resentful, but that is not right. These people have not
left. They revolted against Sheela and the criminal group—you
should think of it—and you resent them.
Sheela and the people with her will hate them, and you resent
them. They don't have any shelter anywhere. They understand that
they belonged to a wrong group, but they were as innocent as you
are. They also thought, "This is what the master wants us
to do."
And the proof is that they revolted. Even the secretary of Sheela
revolted against her, which was really courageous. She proved
to be a real jewel. Sheela was very much afraid of her because
she knew everything; she was Sheela's secretary, so every paper
had passed through her. She knows all that they have done. Sheela
wanted to take her with her. She even tried to poison the poor
girl. If she cannot take her, then it is better to kill her. It
seems killing people became to them just a very simple thing.
But Geeta has remained, and she will be of immense help. She
is, because most of the stories that have come to exposure are
because of Geeta, because she knows the right person who will
tell the story. If you feel resentful towards Geeta that will
not be in any way nice. That will not show your love, your heart.
That will simply show a very stupid reaction.
Hasya was asking me, "Should we remove all these people?—Geeta,
Padma, Ava, and others?"
I said, "No. They have revolted against Sheela. They should
be rewarded, not punished. And they will be of immense help to
you, because this thing is going to become a bigger Watergate
than Nixon could manage."
Don't feel resentful. I can understand your mind. Seeing the
same faces in the same places, you feel angry. But you should
be a little more understanding. I want them to be in the same
places, because in the same places they can be of help to you.

Ava has turned back from Seattle. She had also gone with the
group, because she was also afraid.
She was engaged in all criminal activities: arson, burning the
planning office in the Wasco County, poisoning. All the Homes-Share
program people, street people, keeping them under poison, drugged,
so that on the election day they can do whatsoever Sheela wants
them to do just like zombies.
They did not purchase the drugs in America because they needed
gallons of drugs. To purchase them they would have to satisfy
the pharmacist, they will have to satisfy the government for what
reason so much drugs are being purchased. But for three thousand
people, to keep them for twenty-one days completely drugged, certainly
she needed. So they were imported from out of America.
And one man was over-drugged and died. And they simply threw
him out of Rancho Rajneesh. His body was found, but the police
could not manage to figure out…he was a street person. Nobody
knew from where he had come. Nobody knew how he has died.
All these things Ava knew: all the persons who have been injected
poison—my physician, my caretaker. So she had gone out of
fear, that she will be left alone. But she must have a better
quality of humanity. From Seattle she came back. She said, "I
am going to confess everything, and I am going to remain in the
commune. The people love me. I love them. And whatever we have
done, we have to face it."
Today she had given her testimony to the FBI. Her testimony
is enough, because she is one of the chief in the Sheela's gang.
And whatever she says is supported by hundreds of sannyasins.
Now it is up to the government to catch hold of these people.

She was the woman to take two sannyasins to the planning office.
They burned the office and she was the sannyasin who drove them
back. So nobody can be a better eyewitness than her. And she was
present in all these meetings in which Shanti Bhadra was told
to inject my physician in the meeting, and she was the one, when
Shanti Bhadra did it—she was with Sheela in her room—and
Shanti Bhadra came running, greatly joyous and saying "I
did it, I did it!"
She could not understand what she has done. Only later on she
could find that the plan that was arranged last night, to inject
Devaraj, Shanti Bhadra has fulfilled it. last317
