Ma was (or, rather, still is) head over heels in love with Bhagwan. Yes, there was insurmountable pressure that she was reeling under and she made her judgements according to the demands of place and time. Ma Sheela maintains that she has dedicated her life to Bhagwan (Osho) and she served him the best way she possibly could. She is very bold that way.ĭid she ever express remorse about some of the things that she was accused of? She could sense my hesitation and would rather come to my rescue by answering most openly and candidly. The unsavoury episodes were rather interesting to talk about. How open was she with sharing the unsavoury episodes of her life with you?
SHEELA OSHO FULL
She was very different from what I, and the world, perceives her to be - she was soft and full of emotion. Before meeting Ma Sheela, I was a little intimidated by the personality that I had seen and heard of. I stayed in Switzerland for about 10 days, and, during those days, I spent six to eight hours each day in her company. But she was not convinced just by a voice at the other end of the line and wanted to see me in person.

Prior to meeting her, I had, over the phone, expressed my desire to write her story. I first met Ma Sheela in May 2019 in Switzerland.

Time doesn’t stand still, it moves on and with time we evolve and change so has Ma Sheela. Other than catching a glimpse or two of that old time ‘Sheela’ in her sharp eyes, brisk gait and quick wit, I couldn’t see much of that controversy-courting woman that the world knows her as.

When you met her last year, how much of that tough-talking, controversy-courting woman did you see? She was, in many ways, the anti-hero of the series. It was Chapman and Maclain Way’s Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country (2018) that drew everyone’s attention to Ma Sheela.
