From Svagito Dhyan - A touching sharing, including details of the Zoom celebration for Sagarpriya' departure on January 11th. Love
Happy New Year!
Beloved friends,
I have just returned to my room after listening to a beautiful drumming session by a group of drummers in Buddha Grove, while watching the full moon. I am glad to be back in Pune, India, where we will soon begin another Painting Training and Art Intensive.
It has now been almost nine years since Meera left her body, and we have continued her work every year, doing our best to pass on to people some of the passion, joyfulness, and creative fire that Meera was so abundantly full of. I often feel Meera’s presence when I guide people through this process, and I am still continuously learning from her.
Yesterday I received the news that another friend and fellow traveller, Sagarpriya, has left for the other shore. She was one of my teachers a long time ago, and I learned so much from her—about the essence of being an Osho therapist and how to support people’s inner growth.
I feel deeply lucky and grateful for all the learning I have received from so many sources. As the years pass, my gratitude keeps growing. Sometimes I feel as if I am in a stream that moves on and on, and as more fellow travellers leave for the other shore, I become increasingly aware of what each person has contributed and what gifts she or he has left behind for us. A great sense of thankfulness is arising in me.
And as we are all moving toward nothingness, I remind myself of what truly matters—what stays, and what is not so important. In daily life this is sometimes forgotten, and it needs constant reminding to stay present and alert, and at the same time playful and not serious.
So, for 2026, I am also reminding myself of what is truly important to me: which courses and trainings I really want to offer, how much time I want to reserve for myself, and which places I still wish to travel to. These decisions are not always easy.
You can look at my calendar and the calendar of the Meera Art Foundation to see what I have planned to offer in 2026 in terms of courses, trainings, exhibitions, and other activities.
One event I am especially looking forward to is the Creativity Festival in Tokyo this coming April, where we will show Osho’s and Meera’s paintings in a single exhibition, accompanied by many creative events, meditations, and music celebrations. You can find more information here: https://www.meera-art-foundation.com/.../creativity.../2026
This will be followed by the famous Cherry Blossom Painting Course, where we paint under Japanese cherry trees: https://www.meera-art-foundation.com/.../cherry.../2026/4
For all my other workshops and trainings, please visit our websites or write to us.
Anu is taking care of all correspondence concerning the Meera Art Foundation (MAF).
I wish you a wonderful year 2026 and maybe we meet somewhere on the path.
With love, Svagito
