Introduction
Welcome to “Zorba the Buddha: Bridging Worlds with Osho”, the podcast series brought to you by the Dwarkadhish Holistic Centre in collaboration with Osho Fragrance. I’m your host, Dhwani Shah, and today we are honored to welcome a guest who embodies the beautiful balance of the inner and outer worlds.
Our speaker is Shri Narayan Prasad Sahu, currently serving as the Principal of Govt High School Chirahkala near Gadarwara. However, the identity we’ll be exploring today is his sannyas name: Sw Anand Narayan. Initiated into Sannyas in 2016 by Osho’s childhood friend, Kanchhedi Lal Shukla, Sw Anand Narayan’s journey is deeply personal. His hobbies include meditation, visiting natural places, and, profoundly, listening to the “sound of silence.” He truly lives the philosophy of inner solitude.
Today, Sw Anand Narayan will guide us through a fascinating exploration of his chosen topic: “The Geography of Inner Silence: Meditations on Nature and Self.” Get ready to traverse the landscape of your own being, finding the quiet spots where nature and self converge. Let’s welcome Sw Anand Narayan!
