![]() I was quite devastated because I don’t deny I expected to have my old sewing job back and live back in LaoTzu House with Osho and my close friends. He told me he wanted me to join Isabel and do the necessary PR. After I had spent a few minutes greeting my friends, Nirvano came in and said Osho wanted to see me. ![]() Having brought a huge suitcase of fabric, wool and sewing things for Osho’s sewing room, I was, on my arrival, taken directly to LaoTzu House. I had trouble getting a visa for the US and only arrived in about November 1981. Ma Prem Isabel initially started the Reception centre, some time after Osho came to the Ranch in around September 1981. And secondly, to deal with all the County officials, eventually Federal officials, coming to check us out. The main purpose of Reception however, was firstly to deal with the increasing media interest – in the beginning local, then, as interest grew, from all over the USA and then the world. In reality we were protecting ourselves and showing these visitors what WE wanted them to see! ![]() We did not want these kinds of people wandering around our property so we ‘kindly’ arranged to escort them and show them what they wanted to see. In this way, it was hoped to make friends of the visitors and also protect our privacy. The Reception trailer was set up to welcome these people, show them a place to park, answer their questions and eventually take them on guided tours.
