Ma Prem Sangeet

(Sangeet Duchane, BA (Psych), Juris Doctor)

Rajneeshpuram, 1982

Sangeet was also known on the Ranch as Lawyer Sangeet. A graduate of the University of Oregon School of Law, she is a former legal aid attorney in San Francisco and a disability rights attorney. She took sannyas in the spring of 1981 at the Berkeley Center and became Ma Prem Therese.

Late that year she went to the Ranch, living first in Antelope and then in Jesus Grove. She worked with Wadud on the Land Use Plan and became the City Attorney when the city was formed. At that time Osho changed her name to Sangeet. She later became the city attorney for the City of Rajneesh (Antelope) as well.

After the Ranch she went to the Boston area, before returning to Marin County, California. From there she went back to Pune and worked at the Osho Times and the Mystery School. She also acted as Osho’s legal researcher and his legal representative in a Bombay case. For the last two and a half years of Osho’s life she lived in Lao Tzu.

From Pune she went to Japan in 1990 and then spent four years in the sannyas community in Maui. She ended up back in Marin County,and has been on the board of the Viha Connection and the editor of the magazine off and on for many years. She currently lives in Sonoma County where she is a writer and editor.

She returned to school to get an MA degree in theology, comparing the theological models of Osho and Teresa of Avila, and has published several books in the area of spirituality.

Sangeet also has an advanced certification in hypnotherapy.

As of June 21, 2024, Sangeet is working on a book that Osho asked her to write. See below: #Help Fulfill Osho's Vision for the West.

Help Fulfill Osho's Vision for the West

Sangeet has opened a GoFundMe campaign, asking for support. This is what she writes:

Shortly before He left the body, Osho asked me to write a book about His philosophy intended for Western intellectuals. I’ve struggled with and thought about the concept for years while I’ve dealt with health challenges and work. I edited the Viha Connection for many years, but it has now passed to new management, and I feel it’s time for me to finish this book as a final task. I have at most a couple of decades left in this lifetime, and I want to spend my last active years fulfilling the promise I made to Osho and to myself. That was to help current and future scholars in the West understand Osho’s truly amazing and unique insights into philosophy.

In the past 40 years my work for Osho has involved editing and helping with legal issues (pro bono), which I enjoyed and was happy to do. But I’m also very glad that He asked me to do this project, because it challenges and stretches me in new ways. It also gives me the opportunity to contribute something lasting and positive.

I’ve been actively working on this for the past year when I’ve had the time and energy to spare from earning a living. To work on it full-time I will have living expenses and expenses for books and other materials. Help with that will make this project possible. I’m dedicating all my resources, financial and energetic, to making this happen. Would you be willing and able to help? Osho wanted this to happen, and I want to do everything I can to make His vision a reality. It may well take a couple of years to complete this, but that’s not much if it helps diverse cultures understand each other.

Please share this with others who might be interested in supporting Osho and His work.
