Swami Anand Arun, a disciple, a seeker and a renowned meditation teacher. At a very early age, his spiritual inclination and pursuit took him to many masters and spiritual leaders and one day the same pursuit took him to his master. On March 29, 1969, when he was still a student of engineering, Swami Arun first met Osho. In the very first glimpse he realised his search for a master had come to an end. In 1974, he took initiation from Osho at Pune when a young Arun Kumar Singh became Swami Anand Arun.After a few months of staying with his master, he was instructed to open an ashram in nepal and spread his vision.
