<p><strong>May 21 - Enlightenment Day of Sambuddh Swami Om Prakash Saraswati Ji</strong></p><p>Osho says, “A day comes when life is and you are not. A day comes when you are dissolved completely. The wave has disappeared into the ocean. This is the final, the ultimate -- what in India we have been calling SAMADHI, the enlightenment, SAMBODHI. When you are no more you have become a buddha.”</p><p>On this sacred day, Swamiji became both nothing and everything—merging into the ocean and becoming one with it. It marks the moment of his ultimate realization and enlightenment. A day of celebration, a festival for existence, when we remember, rejoice, and feel the showering blessings of the Master. With deep love and gratitude, we remember Swami Om Prakash Saraswati Ji, fondly known to thousands of seekers as Swamiji, whose life stands as a living example of courage, surrender, and unwavering devotion to his beloved Master, Osho.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="slider-pro" id="slider-pro-3-13373"><div class="sp-slides"><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/swami-om-prakash-saraswati-one-with-the-master.jpg" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/Tp-1-e1609384423449.jpg" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/swamiji-1.jpg" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/swamiji-2.JPG" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/swamiji-3.JPG" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/Swami-Om-Prakash-W-Osho-1.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/IMG-20201105-WA0018.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/Osho_Swami-ji_SamllBox_Edit.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/swamiji-with-osho-2.jpeg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/066_Swamiji-e1609384914608.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/068_Swamiji.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div><div class="sp-slide"><img class="sp-image not-prose" src="https://oshoworld.com/uploads/BWXT-002-3-High-Res.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div></div><div class="sp-thumbnails"><img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/swami-om-prakash-saraswati-one-with-the-master.jpg" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/Tp-1-300x203.jpg" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/swamiji-1.jpg" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/swamiji-2.JPG" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/swamiji-3.JPG" alt="Tp-1" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/Swami-Om-Prakash-W-Osho-1-300x220.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/IMG-20201105-WA0018-300x189.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/Osho_Swami-ji_SamllBox_Edit-300x221.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/swamiji-with-osho-2.jpeg" alt="" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/066_Swamiji-300x225.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/068_Swamiji-300x236.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"> <img class="sp-thumbnail not-prose" src="uploads/BWXT-002-3-High-Res-300x189.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></div></div><link property="stylesheet" rel="stylesheet" href="/style/sliderPro.css" type="text/css" media="all"><script src="/js/sliderPro.js"></script><p><strong>A Life of Courage, Inquiry and Surrender</strong></p><p>Was he a born rebel, a freedom fighter, a highly educated professional, a successful corporate executive, or a sannyasin? The life of Swamiji beautifully reflects that it is possible to embody all these dimensions when guided by the blessings of the Master.</p><p>Born on <strong>December 31, 1918</strong>, in Faridnagar near Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Swamiji showed the spirit of a rebel from a very young age, questioning injustice and violence wherever he encountered them. As a sincere and determined young man, he joined government service and soon entered married life. However, the absence of meritocracy and the inefficiencies within the system led him to leave his stable government position.</p><p>He later joined the renowned <strong>DCM</strong> at Kota, Rajasthan, where he served as a senior executive and eventually became the <strong>Accounts Head</strong>. During this period, Swamiji came across a series of articles written by Osho, who was then known as <strong>Acharya Rajneesh</strong>. Deeply touched by their insight and magnetism, he attended a meditation camp at <strong>Mount Abu</strong> in 1971 where he was initiated into sannyas.</p><p>Guided by the Master, Swamiji lived a rare balance of <strong>family life, professional responsibilities, and deep meditation</strong>. His life became an inspiring example of how a modern seeker can harmoniously integrate worldly duties with an inner journey.</p><p>Later, he moved to Delhi to care for his wife who required personal and medical attention while continuing his work with dedication. After her passing in 1976, Swamiji took premature retirement from DCM. Soon after, he received an invitation from Osho to relocate to the Ashram in Pune — a call he had long awaited with deep devotion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bringing Osho Vision to North India</strong></p><p>In <strong>1978</strong>, Osho sent Swamiji to Delhi to establish a meditation center and personally gave the name <strong>Rajyoga Rajneesh Dhyan Kendra</strong>, which later became known as <strong>Osho Rajyoga</strong>.</p><p>Under Swamiji’s loving guidance, this center became the <strong>fulcrum of Osho’s work in Northern India</strong>. Meditation camps were organized, Osho audio and video discourses were distributed, and publications began reaching thousands of seekers.</p><p>When Osho moved to the United States in 1981, the center launched the newsletter <strong>“Rajneesh Buddhafield”</strong> to keep seekers connected with <strong>Rajneeshpuram.</strong></p><p>One of Swamiji’s most significant contributions was the creation of <strong>Osho Dham</strong>, a serene meditation campus on the outskirts of Delhi, providing a peaceful space for seekers to meditate and participate in meditation programs.</p><p>His vision continued to expand with the creation of Osho World Galleria, inaugurated at <strong>Ansal Plaza</strong>, fulfilling Osho dream of <strong>“bringing meditation to the marketplace.”</strong></p><p>Swamiji also envisioned making Osho available to seekers around the world through modern media. This vision manifested in the creation of <strong>Osho World Foundation</strong> initiatives such as the website oshoworld.com, a treasure house of Osho audio and video discourses, e-books, meditations, articles, and pearls. The publication of magazines <strong>Osho World Patrika</strong> and <strong>Osho News</strong> further carried Osho message to seekers across the globe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Enlightenment and Final Dissolution</strong></p><p>As Swamiji deepened in meditation, his inner transformation naturally reflected in his work and presence. His life continues to inspire countless young seekers on the path of meditation and awareness.</p><p>Swamiji attained <strong>enlightenment on May 21, 2001</strong>. Yet he continued to meditate, work tirelessly, and guide the future expansion of Osho vision until he attained his <strong>Mahaparinirvana on March 27</strong>, 2003.</p><p>Like a drop dissolving into the vast ocean, Swamiji merged into the boundless ocean of his beloved Master, Osho.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Meditations &amp; Remembrance</strong></p><p>On this sacred occasion, participants will engage in <strong>Osho main meditation techniques such as Dynamic Meditation, Kundalini Meditation, and the Evening Satsang with Osho</strong>. The celebration will also include meditative sessions of <strong>Keertan celebration and silence.</strong></p><p>A special <strong>session of remembering Swamiji</strong> will also be held, where disciples and participants will come together to share memories, experiences, and heartfelt reflections about his life and presence. Through silence, music, and remembrance, the gathering becomes a living tribute to a disciple who embodied total surrender.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>A Living Connection with the Master</strong></p><p>Swamiji’s life reminds us that the journey of meditation is not separate from life itself. Through dedication, surrender, and love for the Master, he demonstrated how an ordinary life can become a path toward the extraordinary.</p><p>In the words of <strong>Osho:</strong></p><p><i>“A disciple becomes almost a part of the very being of the Master. There arises an invisible connection between the two hearts. They dance together.”</i></p><p>With deep gratitude and love, seekers gather on this day to meditate, remember, and celebrate the life of Swamiji — a disciple who dissolved completely into the vast ocean of Osho.</p>
