In this interview Veeresh talks about why the Humaniversity has been successful for over 30 years, and the significance of friendship within the staff.
I choose to come from a position of love and create relationships the way I would like to be treated. If the other doesn't respond, I don't get caught up with trying to get them to accept my love. My need is to love.
For me the Osho Humaniversity is an extension of Osho's dream, an opportunity to be myself, to share who I am and express my love.
The Tourist Program has been run at the Humaniversity for over 30 years. It has helped thousands of people to overcome personal crises and direct their lives in a more happy and cheerful direction.
Veeresh was a teenage drug-addict in New York. After his rehabilitation in the first ever Phoenix House program, he started Phoenix House in England and is now the founder and president of the Osho Humaniversity in Holland.
Social interaction is the basis of Humaniversity Therapy - using the other person like a mirror. If you look at the AUM meditation, it's interpersonal communication all the time. Then you can say, "Oh, I understand who I am inside."
