I Still Remember my First Conversation with Osho...

As a kid, it was like a very natural process to grow into the atmosphere of Osho. It's like, I did not know anything else except that. It was quite a commitment in some way but really, as a kid, I did not know anything else, it was just like growing up in this... and it was perfect. And slowly-slowly everybody in the family became Sannyasin, but everybody had their voluntary decision. Whatever it is in my life, it is thanks to Osho basically. Musically, with Osho, it was a very good place to experiment many things and how to use the beauty and depth of Indian music into creating something different, something which has a purpose, something which has a utility, not just entertainment - and Indian music has that capacity. Osho's teachings and his blessings and his guidance - everything shaped this life, not only for me, but for many. Kirtan is a very-very simple but very profound way of connecting with the divine. In Kirtan you dissolve, your ego dissolves. There is no “I”, there is only “Divinity.” It's a little bit like you are a statue of salt, and what happens when you enter the ocean? You become the ocean. What I saw in the West in the people singing mantras is that actual element of India was missing there. It is very clear that when somebody is trying to represent a certain cultural element from a certain place, it must carry its authenticity - it must carry its authentic flavour, sound, taste, fragrance... because behind that there is a long tradition and a history, and a lot of thought put behind it. It is about preserving this fire which has been burning since thousands of years.
