Peepal Baba

Those were very beautiful days.

Things could happen at a much easy pace.

And, you know, so we, of course, I had to make sure that the people trees had fantastic protection from Gai, Bhayas, Bakri, Neil Gai, human encroachment.

It is not about just digging a pit and putting a plant over there.

For next five years, you've got to see that it's properly manual, properly irrigated, properly protected, fenced.

A lot of things go into this thing.

So that is how the People Baba thing came up, right?

And Swami Prem Parivartan came much later.

That was, I don't know how it happened.

It was a very graceful, very beautifully, it just, you know, I used to hear a lot about Osho for all the wrong reasons, of course.

And he was...

Many people used to say he's the sex guru and, you know, he's a rich man's guru.

He's this and that.

And he was very controversial.

But something, something about him attracted me.

What was it?

I don't know.

My grandmother had a lot of books.

She would have those old tapes, you know, she would put on that Philips and Panasonic tape recorder and she would listen to that.

I just liked his mesmerizing voice.
