Deva Varidhi
22 July 1951 – 22 July 2012
Our Beloved Varidhi left his body in his birthday party, surrounded by family & friends, laughing & dancing the song “La Vida Es Un Carnaval” (Life Is A Carnival) at OSHO Afroz just a couple of minutes before midnight on 22nd of July 2012.
“His way of living and leaving (the body) has been an inspiration for all of us”
Since Varidhi left his body, a group of freinds that have been living inside and around OSHO Afroz continue to take care and hold the beautiful Buddha Field that has grown here for many years.
