Disciple Day : February 12

February 12^th is celebrated as Disciple Day, for it is the Birthday of Ma Yog Laxmi, Osho’s first  disciple as well as His first secretary.  Hers is the journey of a devotee, a journey of surrender, a journey of awareness and a journey full of gratitude. We celebrate her birthday as Disciple Day as she was an epitome of surrender, devotion and a total Yes to Osho.

Osho says , “Satisfaction comes only out of yes. Satisfaction comes only out of tremendous positivity. God is nothing but a deep yes towards existence.”

One can read the inspirational story of Ma Yog Laxmi’s transformation and witness the beauty of a master-disciple relationship in the book “The Only Life”. Below are few of the highlights about her from this book :

• After her first meditation camp with Osho, Laxmi as a individual entity died and a devotee was born.
• For Ma Laxmi, Osho was her only life. Her devotion to the Master and His work was total and absolute.
• Ma Laxmi  would work for Osho with tireless energy on less than a banana and two cups of tea a day.
• Ma Laxmi would be so enthusiastic and positive about Osho’s work that she would always say “We will put our total energy into it and it will surely happen.”
• Osho showed the way and Ma Laxmi walked it.

• Ma Laxmi received everything from Master with utmost love and gratitude whether Zen stick or His Blessings.
• A vital energy eminates from Ma Laxmi- mercurial and dynamic, yet at the same time, centered and alert.
• Ma Laxmi said, “Every situation can be used for the growth of awareness. That is our responsibility. Trust the master and be aware.”
• Ma Laxmi’s life had many twists and turns, ups & downs, many deaths and rebirths,

Yet she remained unaffected because of Master’s grace.

Osho says, “Laxmi is right. And always remember that Laxmi never does anything on her own. She is a perfect vehicle. That’s why she has been chosen for that work.”
