Devageet was a fundamental presence in my life. Thanks to him, I was able to access profound inner experiences in the scientific approach I loved, unconstrained by beliefs, ideologies, or thought systems. As a doctor specialized in hypnosis, Devageet helped with extreme sensitivity and presence to consciously relive early life traumas or past lives, unlocking frozen vital energy so it could be used to heal physical and psychological symptoms. His direct and precise words created an atmosphere of sincerity where each person’s true individuality was challenged to free itself from the falsities that our usual personal masks unconsciously create.

In this climate, each inner exploration flourished in the radiance of the heart, which rediscovered its lost path home.

I began assisting him in 1993 in experiential healing groups held at the Osho Meditation Resort in Pune, India; this healing approach later took the name Transomatic Dialogue. For years, I observed Devageet at work in his group workshops and individual sessions, witnessing, moment by moment, the revelation, in myself and the other participants, of the vast existential and universal design present in each of our lives.

The key to opening the doors of the unconscious was a state of deep relaxation accompanied by conscious presence: that inner light available from birth but obscured over the years by conditioning.

Devageet prepared us every morning, guiding us in a simple exercise of observing our vital bodily sensations, to help us recognize the difference between when we are closed and identified with the thinking mind and when we are outside of it, in the open and free space of awareness.

Osho defines this space as „being a relaxed, nonjudgmental witness,“ in Zen is the allegory of the inner mirror that reflects, and remains untouched by everything that passes before it. Osho himself asked Devageet to write this book, even giving it the title: „Osho, the First Buddha in the Dental Chair,“ and added:

„I will speak from the dentist’s chair. No Buddha has ever done anything like this… but you know I’m a little crazy. One day these words from the dental chair will become a beautiful book.“

In the book, Devageet recounts the Akashic transmission, in which Osho tells him that he would find a way to make the Akashic memories available to meditators, by reliving them step by step, all the way back to the beginning of evolution. This would allow meditators to experience the reality of awareness, unbound by form and time, and allow them to delve into the depths where true transformation is possible. This reliving of memories, Osho added, would also strengthen the body to withstand the impact of high consciousness into which meditators would expand.

I once asked Devageet what his final thought was at the end of the day, and he said, „To serve Osho as an instrument.“ Before leaving, he wrote that with the creation of the 17 Akashic processes, he felt he had completed the task of the transmission he had received.

What Devageet left us is a huge work, developed over thirty years and refined in every detail, from the steps of meditative hypnosis to the applied chromopuncture procedure, to the sacred geometry drawn on the body to easily access the memories present within it. It is an inner exploration that makes meditation a fascinating adventure.

We realize that we can find all the answers to our existential questions within ourselves and experience that awareness that lives in the body but is not of the body, that part of us that, when the body dies, witnesses what continues: our eternity, a quantum leap in Osho’s vision of the New Man. When Osho defined the seeker’s intensity as a growth in three levels: the student, the disciple, and the devotee, he used Devageet as an example at the end:

„The devotee does not become the truth; he discovers that he is the truth. And this discovery is the greatest discovery possible for human consciousness. So it’s perfectly normal for you to no longer be curious about anything. It’s a sign of maturity, of moving from the state of student to that of disciple. And as I know you, Devageet, you have already moved from the state of disciple to the supreme glory of being a devotee. Your search, your inquiry, is no longer a dry exploration. It has become your love, it has become your very heartbeat.“

A heartbeat that resonates through the words of the book.

I wish everyone a heartfelt read.
