Gatasansa: Monju, who is living in Kyoto and making the sannyas magazine wants your interview,@and many other friends in Japan want to know what is "happening" here. So, I would like to ask you this question among several questions he has asked me to ask you. For some time, you had been living in California since you left Poona. But lately, you have moved to this place, and now you are here. Why have you come here? How have you decided to choose this place to live? Monju is interested in looking at things from the spiritual aspect, and he and his friends

also are looking for some space to make something like commune. That's the reason why they want to know why you chose this place. By the way, Sedona is a very famous place in Japan as one of the spiritual spots.

Kavisha: Ok, first of all, I like that he is calling this a "happening", becauseI myself really want to call this the same way. This is a "happening". Perhapshe understood what this means. We didn't decide anything. One thing clear to uswas that we could not stay in LA any longer. There we were renting a house, butthings had been not so good about the house. But the earthquake shook us up really. That was the reason why we felt we needed to leave town for sometime. So, wejust decided to visit here. For many years, we had heard about Sedona, friendswere telling us, "Just come here, look, and experience, here is beautyc."., and we were just telling them, "ok, we will come and have a look". It was jus thet ri

ght time to get out of the place where the earth was shaking. Being together with OSHO for a long time, things are always going like this. When the time is right, something happens. You really can't plan anything. Planning, or even imagining what we will do is impossible. It just happens in exactly the right time. WhatI want to convey is: it is happening so fast that I can't believe it. We originally didn't come here to start something. We came here, because we simply wantedto have some rest. Can you believe it? It was a holiday, just like going for adrive to Sedona, and we found it was fantastic here. We were really impressed. As soon as we arrived, we found some real estate agency who were showing us around this place and that place. We couldn't help doing it. We went to one place, ch

ecking whether we liked it, how we felt there, because we knew we needed to getout of LA. The earthquake was the turning point. It gave all of us a terrible feeling. So we all felt we needed to move out, to somewhere from LA, but didn't expect it would happen this way. Whatever is happening is our Master's doing. Believe me. (Laugh).

Kavisha: We could not in the first place really imagine it would happen this way. We always have been living together, and we found three places in a small area. We liked this area, and, as you may know it, Rani visited us, telling "I wantto come, I want to come, I want to comec..", and started to tell us "I want to live here". Suddenly, this has started to "happen". This is the spiritual aspect of this thing as well as the answer to why and how I came here.

Gatasansa: Wadudu and Waduda also want to come, right?

Kavisha: Yes, Wadudu came and Waduda also came. They visit us twice a year and we are working together. They said, "We want to join, we want to come here".

Gatasansa: It is interesting. They are also interested?

Kaviaha: Yes. How we see this thing is like---maybe you heard that OSHO says things like this: you work, and then find a right place where it can happen. Just be alert everyday and prepare for what is coming. and watch and experience here what you have learned being with me all these years. Who am I? What am I teaching? What am I speaking? If this can be created----- You also know---Osho is such achallenge, because he is so vast, so huge, including everything. We would liketo make it beautiful.in all dimensions It is our challenge.

Gatasansa: Fantastic!

Kavisha: I think what we have been seeing in this world is that you can go to so

me beautiful places, for example, beautiful hotels or houses, but you cannot find any spirituality there. On the other hand, you can go to some place very spiritual, you don't find any beauty---you reach some very pure energy, but it is dirty and not comfortable there. Some places have both spirituality and materialismand people are eager to have holy spirits, love their Gods, and at same time love to put deep roots in the earth: the quality of the Zorba, and to make some institution. This is all that is important for us. When I see Osho's teaching, I fell like this: if we understand and materialize these two qualities, Zorba and Buddha, He will be very happy. You know they are not separate. So we are workingbecause many people misunderstand these two, thinking they can't have both. Theycan't believe it is possible to be spiritual and yet be rich in all dimensions.It is actually a wonderful way, like, you have a whole piece of cake in your hand and continuously eating it.

Gatasansa: The reason why people come here is you. I have heard from many peoplethat you have vision. What kind of vision do you see? "OSHO ACADEMY"

Kavisha: Yes. Osho Academy is a place where you can live Osho's teaching in ordinary life, through sharing happening on an occasional basis, which I have mentioned before. It is a nourishing place for both Zorba and Buddha to be together. Here we have a group of people who live this teaching. Here, we are full of lovefor the school in which religion meets science in real sense. We are observing our inner world in a scientific way and watching how we can bring them together.

In my whole life, I have been having a big vision and would love to find a placewhere we can go into such a life style with more joy and full of love. Osho, even after He left His body, is continuously giving us all the keys that can helpus to get out of our sufferings. So it is up to us whether we receive all the keys and open everybody's lock. We have many kinds of techniques and are using them in this academy. How to open these locks? We want people to watch their sufferings and their way of the past, their way of seeing their lives from the past. This past is still the cause of their sufferings. Just cut it. We can finish it.This is the main thing that is happening here---to finish it, and the way we canwork together is the institution. Many people can make the team together, because, as far as I see, many people really want this to happen: to feel the connection and to be a part of something much bigger than ourselves. I see that we, with our heart thrilling, all know that we are only a part of Osho. He is so vast.He, His energy, His love is taking us. Do you understand what I am saying? Gatasansa: Yes.---this is the main thing which we would like to ask---how would you like to run this place? As an experiment? You would like to make a commune here?

Kavisha: I really don't know yet. It just has started. But remember that we werenot even here 3 months ago. Now we are here. Now we have 5 places here and soon6 places---oh no, seven places, Rani and Wadudu, so seven places and other people also will start. It is changing very much. I think it is the difference. It i

s very delicate, it is simply "happening". This word is just right.(laugh) Let it just "happen" continuously. Something is "happening" continuously.

Gatasansa: To me, my journey has been just "happening". I went to Colon, Germany, because the exhibition of Osho's art "happened" there. I went to Osho Inter inEngland, because I wanted to see their Osho's art gallery and I came here because I wanted to see here. You have been together with Yogi, and they purchased Osho's art. So my journey has been simply "happening".

Kavisha: You are a part of the "happening".

Gatasansa: Yes.

Kavisha: I am very happy about Osho's art and Japanese people who are more in tune with esoteric science than before. You know we have a little problem of language, but you can be a media in between. For now, you have my interview, you participate in Wadudu and Waduda's group, and please explain it in so many words, sothat many more people can come and join.

Gatasansa: I am interested in doing this, and do you have a good connection withWadudu and Waduda? You have organized their group, right?

Kavisha: yes.

Gatasansa: I am pretty much surprised about this. What on earth is happening here?

Kavisha: I am feeling the same way you are. You are a kind of ambassador, and will help many more people to participate in this "happening"

Gatasansa: I am surprised about this "happening". That is the reason why I wantto know what is happening. What I would like to ask you is how things "happen".


4/4

Kavisha: there will be many things. I just feel. Many things will be coming. Butthe joy to live in such a way is that we don't plan anything. We don't think about how things happen and will end. We don't sit and plan, we don't need to. Just something happens. Like, you have come today, and this journey has started, and something will happen. I love that it is always bringing something unknown andwonderful.
