Vivek takes sannyas in April 1971, and is Osho's caretaker from 1973 onwards
"I had a girlfriend when I was young. Then she died. But on her deathbed she promised me she would came back. And she has come back. The name of the girlfriend was Shashi. She died in '47. She was the daughter of a certain doctor in my village, Dr. Sharma. He is also dead now. And now she has come as Vivek to take care of me. Vivek cannot remember it. I used to call Shashi Gudiya, and I started calling Vivek Gudiya also, just to give a continuity.
Life is a great drama, a great play—it goes on from one life to another to another."
-Osho, "The Path of Love, #2"
"Yesterday, someone came to me in the morning, and I told her to take sannyas. She was bewildered. She said to give her time to think and decide, at least two days. I said to her, "Who knows about two days? So much you require…take it today, this moment." But she was not decisive, so I gave her two days. The next morning she came and took it. She has not taken two days, only one day. I asked her, "Why? You have been given two days, why have you come so soon?" She said, "At three o'clock at night, suddenly I was awake, and something went deep within me telling me, 'Go take sannyas.'"
It is not a decision that she has made, but a decision that has been made by her very deep-rooted mind. But the moment she came in the room I knew her, I knew that mind which she came to know twenty hours later.
So when I say take sannyas, there are so many reasons with every person to whom I tell it. Either he has been a sannyasin in the last life, or somewhere in the long journey he has been a sannyasin.
I had given her another name yesterday, but today I had to change it because I gave her that name in her indecision. Now I am giving her a different name that will be a help to her. When she came this morning, she herself was decided. That other name was not needed at all. And I have given her the name Ma Yoga Vivek, because now the decision has come through her vivek—her awareness, her consciousness."
-Osho, "I Am the Gate, #2" (16 April 1971)
In 24 April 1986, Osho was to say:
"Vivek has been for sixteen years with me. When she came she was only twenty years old; now she is thirty-six, almost twice the age. And all these sixteen years, day in, day out, she has been taking care of me with as much love as possible, with a deep devotion."
-Osho, "Beyond Psychology, #24"
[Devakant met Nirvano first on the Ranch. He became her lover in Poona2 in 1987. No dates are mentioned, but it seems this was for about half a year. These quotes from his book In the Eye of the Hurricane(page.246~247) are only a small part of the incredibly touching love story and his observations.]
On the exterior, if you didn't know her, she seemed very English. She could be EXTREMELY critical, and dry. Or worse, depressed, despondent. Her father was English. But her mother was French, and she grew up until the age of 10 in Paris, and this Parisienne side of her was much stronger when she was in a good mood. Vivacious, gracious, lovely and sweetly delightful, she could be the rarest and most feminine of birds, a queen in her court, or the nastiest adversary you could ever imagine. In short, she was one hell of a woman. If she was happy, it was like the whole universe was shining on you. If she was in a bad mood... just get out of the house. Quick!
She had remembered several other lives she had had before this one. She had been Rani Rasmani, the queen who gave to RamaKrishna the temple in Calcutta where she lived. She had cared for that enlightened man, and protected him; the same occupation she was having in this life.
I asked her about Osho's statement that she had been Mary Magdalene; she neither affirmed nor denied it, but this she answered me: she had remembered a lifetime in which she had been with Jesus. She described the day she met Him, in Galilee. She had seen a light, passing in a valley, and she walked to that light and met Him at the well.
And then she told me the strangest thing of all, and that was that she had also known Osho in THAT lifetime. That, in fact, Osho had been John the Baptist, and John the Baptist was the real physical father of Jesus.
With that, an earthquake went off inside me, and a chain of associations. Suddenly, something just fell into place inside me, like a piece of the puzzle. Why had Osho gone on a quest, a mission in fact to destroy all the falseness and pretension of Christianity, to unmask its lies and its hypocrisies, time after time, until in the end it would get him crucified by the fundamentalist Christian American government?
It was, if in fact this was true, his responsibility to do so. ...
