Every letter and communication coming out of the commune gives this uneasy feeling to the sanyasins. We raised the issue of copyrights, royalties, trademarking of Osho Meditations in USA and made this issue public. So many sanyasins have been pleading with us for so long to raise this issue. Now when this has been raised, the same sanyasins are running scared. The feeling of paranoia is being continuously fed in their minds that the commune gates will be shut down by the authorities.
Nobody wants to see that happen.
Neither do we. I only wish to assure my sanyasin friends that this will not be happening. Believe me, I am with them to prevent such a drastic step. One thing really good has come out of this episode. Some of the Indian sanyasins and Osho lovers who were never given accommodation inside the commune premises have been invited to stay inside the commune premises and speak and write for the commune.
