I loved this book! If you read, "My Life In The Color Orange," you'll enjoy this book, which gives a more in-depht account of life with the guru Osho and living in an ashram. This is clearly an account of a woman who has lived her life to the full and not regretted it.
I particularly liked how the author's lifestyle had turned all conventional morals and values upside down. Monogamy was seen as a shelfish human weakness. Promiscuity was the way to enlightenment. As hard as it can be for many to achieve monogamy in a relationship, open promiscuity seems just as difficult! - especially when one forms an attachement to another and doesn't want to share!
There is a lot of insight in this book about giving heart and soul to a dream only to find that it can chew you up and spit you out, leaving you running for your life. This book shows how all organizations from the most conservative to the most outrageous, have their dark-sides, and the healing process that takes place when one reclaims their life.

This book works on many levels. It is an autobiograghy - well written, racy, page turning stuff. It is a history of a generation who were creating a new world, casting off the Victorian values of our parents, experimenting with what was possible in a life without boundaries. It is an analysis of how society works, how culture constrains us, and how we create new forms of oppression as we try to throw off the old chains. For those with an interest in the history of the Bagwan/Osho/Rajneesh community, it is also a history of its rise and fall.
Once I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. I lived though the same period, for me a less adventurous life, but I recognised the dilemmas, the challenges, the vision of the better world. Maybe this book will help us take stock, and ask what life can we lead?

Amazing autobiography, such a troubled life so many experiences and challenges. The books takes you on a journey with unusual insights> It does not tire, makes you want to follow through the end. Very interesting read

This is Anne's history through the sannyas movement and beyond. It is vastly inferior to her son's book. Read more
