“One day, one golden day, you will disappear and only the buddha will remain in place of you. That will be the greatest height of your blossoming, the greatest golden moment of your thousands of lives. Beyond that is only the cosmos. First, become the buddha. This is called NIRVANA. Then take a jump into the cosmos, and disappear into the blue sky. This is called MAHAPARINIRVANA – the great enlightenment."~Osho

Join us in celebrating Osho’s Mahaparinirvana with the divine melody of Manish Vyas. Manish will be sharing Live Music to celebrate this auspicious day!

Manish Vyas has been learning and teaching music and meditation for more than 25 years, which he learnt throughout his life with different maestros in India.

His Album "Shivoham" was also nominated for 57th Annual Grammy Awards.

At the age of 20, Manish moved to Pune to be in close proximity to Osho and also to pursue his musical career. Manish learnt Tabla with Maestro Ustad Allarakha while organizing and performing concerts in Osho's presence. Manish met renowned musician, Jagjit Singh, and played with him in a performance presented at the Osho Samadhi. This Maestro of ghazals, classical and devotional music was a big influence in Manish’s musical vision - as well as his spiritual master "Whosoever", who taught him how to compose and use music to reach awareness, meditation and dissolving with the music.

Currently he is based in Switzerland and has been conducting meditation retreats and concerts throughout the world.

“Dance, my heart, dance today with Joy. Let the dance be here and now, you abandon yourself, you become a drunkard!" ~ Osho, Ecstasy the forgotten language
It's so important in these times where many things are triggering us within and without... To remember the beauty of life, and why we are here. Even within challenges, we can find Joy. And when we move our bodies with all these impulses and feelings, we join in with the dance of life as it guides us! With dance alchemy, we will warm up our bodies, have fun, have a chance to work with something that's going in our lives, and open the secret alchemy of the heart.

"The light within you is perfect... You cannot do anything to it; you can only rejoice. You can dance; you can sing a song in praise of the lotus that is blossoming within your being." – Osho

The Meditation Cycles elegantly weave together body, breath, and voice opening, silence and stillness, awareness in movement and dance, returning again to silence and stillness and on into ecstatic singing. They are a magnificent meditation practice all on their own, however, Maniko designed them to prepare the ground for people to energize and engage their creativity, and to grow one’s capacity for clarity, healing, and insight. They work for everyone to enhance mental, physical, and emotional well-being and much more.

With very special guest Sudhananda

The structure will be (basically):
5 minutes body-breath-voice opening/release
15 minutes sitting, silence
5 mins vipassana walk
25-30 mins dance
30 mins Singing

About Maniko:
Maniko has over 30 years of extensive professional and experiential training in expressive arts therapy, movement awareness integration, meditative disciplines as well as dance, breath, and voice as vehicles for bridging the worlds of developing consciousness, creativity, personal integration, and authentic self-expression.

“Even a Buddha to the very last moment of his life remains imperfect, but not worried about it. That’s why Buddhists have two terms for nirvana. The ultimate enlightenment they call Mahaparinirvana, and enlightenment they call nirvana. ~ Osho, excerpt from Hsin Hsin Ming, The Book of Nothing

Join us in celebrating Osho’s Mahaparinirvana with the divine melody of Maniko Dru Dadigan. Maniko will be sharing “Intimate songs of devotion” with us during this hour and half together.

In 1977 Maniko traveled to India where she lived, worked and studied with the enlightened mystic Osho at the International Meditation University and Community in India as well as traveling and working in Europe and the US. During her time (1977-1990) in this remarkable international community, she played with many accomplished musicians from around the world, (notables among them are keyboardist Morgan Fisher of Mott the Hoople & Queen, Yoko Ono; percussionist Alyrio Lima of Weather Report, Santana; multi-instrumentalist Prem Joshua and many more). In this uniquely dynamic, meditative, and richly cross-cultural global environment, she began leading thousands of people in ecstatic singing and dancing meditations for darshans, satsangs, and festival celebration events.

A Festival of Osho Meditations and Live Music

07/07/2022

"Superconsciousness is the highest point of your life energy. When music reaches superconsciousness, it provokes within you unknown territories, unexplored skies. It can become a door to the divine. Just as it can become a door to the animal on the lowest, on the highest it can become the door to the divine."~Osho, Satyam Shivam Sundram, Ch 2, Q 1

Miten needs no introduction in the world of music and in the "Sangha" (spiritual family) of Osho. We are delighted to be with him Live for an hour to savor his journey with Osho and his spontaneous music. Please join us in this communion of seekers.

About Miten:
Miten started his musical journey touring with, opening for, and being featured as a guest musician for different bands at stadiums worldwide. The s*x, drugs, and rock & roll lifestyle, however, came with a hollowness and profound distortion that ate at Miten’s soul. At the time a 29-year-old, Miten had just read No Water No Moon, a book of discourses by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho) on Zen parables. Eager to learn more and embrace a whole-being transformation, Miten promptly left England and found himself in an ashram in India, where he released all worldly possessions, as well as his identity as a musician, and joined Osho’s sangha. Living a simple and humble life while studying with Osho, doing work like chopping vegetables in the kitchen, Miten found the courage, and the perfect environment, to face his inner demons and become who he truly was on the soul level, instead of keeping up the image of the person he always had thought he should be. Feeling a deep sense of inner strength, for the first time ever, Miten eventually revisited his musical roots, but from a different place: one of spirituality and devotion, where he served as a channel for the ashram community, offering up original songs that celebrated Osho’s teachings.

It is here. You can hear that celestial sound. That music is happening… Try to understand your responsibility toward yourself. You have been stumbling in darkness enough. When light becomes available, don’t miss the opportunity. Take the jump.” paraphrased from Zen: The Path of Paradox, Vol. 3, Ch. 1
