OSHO DHAM presents ‘Beloved Ones’ An Exhibition of Meditative Paintings by Anubodhi Inspired by Osho’s Darshan Diaries

India, 4th November, 2025: Osho Dham is geared up to host “Beloved Ones”, a deeply meditative exhibition of paintings by Anubodhi, opening on Saturday, November 8th, 2025, at 5:30 PM at Osho Dham, Jhatikra Road, Near Najafgarh with Ma Dharm Jyoti inaugurating the event.

On display through November and December 2025, the exhibition invites visitors to step into a sacred space of communion and silence, where art and meditation merge to evoke Osho’s timeless message of love.

Comprising twenty round oil-on-canvas works (18-inch diameter) and two large portraits of Osho (48 x 32 inches), Beloved Ones draws its inspiration from Osho’s Darshan Diaries, the intimate records of personal meetings between the master and his disciples. Each painting becomes a visual meditation a window into moments of awe, surrender, and bliss that transcend time.

Through these works, Anubodhi seeks to capture the “essence” of those darshan moments when the seeker and the master met in profound silence. The exhibition is designed not just as an art show but as an experience. Visitors are encouraged to pause, to look deeply, and to allow the paintings to draw them inward—into that space where form dissolves into formlessness, and love becomes the message.

Speaking about the inspiration behind Beloved Ones, Anubodhi shares, “My beloved ones, I love you—simple, direct, deep, and intimate. This message from Osho kept stirring my soul, asking for a voice. When words failed, colours spoke. These paintings are my surrender, my way of expressing the inexpressible. I invite viewers to simply stand, gaze, and allow the essence to touch their hearts—just as Osho touched mine.”

The exhibition space at Osho Dham, surrounded by peaceful greenery, will serve as an ideal backdrop for this contemplative experience. The serene atmosphere of the Osho Dhyan Mandir amplifies the meditative quality of Anubodhi’s art, creating a sanctuary where viewers can connect with Osho’s presence through silence and color.

Beloved Ones resonate with Osho’s enduring message: “Love is my message—let it be your message too.” Each canvas becomes a moment of communion, an invitation to rediscover the love, awareness, and stillness that Osho inspired in countless seekers around the world.

The event is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India, with Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) as the nodal department, jointly organized in Shillong by the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs, National Service Scheme (NSS), and National Cadet Corps (NCC), Meghalaya.

The sacred month of Kartik holds immense significance in Odisha’s spiritual calendar. Among its many divine observances, Amla Navami, also known as Radha Pada Darshan, stands out as a festival that beautifully blends devotion, mythology, and reverence for nature. Celebrated on the ninth day (Navami) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of Kartik month, the day is believed to bring endless prosperity, purity, and blessings to devotees.

The Sacred Tree of Immortality

On this auspicious day, devotees worship the Amla (Indian Gooseberry) tree, considered a sacred embodiment of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that any act of charity or devotion performed under an Amla tree on this day yields Akshaya Punya—merit that never diminishes. This belief gives the festival another revered name, Akshaya Navami.

In traditional Odia households, especially among Habisyalis (women observing Kartik vows), special rituals are performed under the shade of the Amla tree. Devotees bathe the image of Lord Vishnu with holy water beneath the tree, cook simple sanctified food (Habisya Anna), and partake in it as prasada. Circumambulating the tree is believed to grant longevity, good health, and divine blessings. The day is thus not only a religious observance but also a celebration of nature’s generosity — expressing gratitude to the life-giving environment.

The Legend of Radha Pada Darshan

Beyond its ecological symbolism, Amla Navami holds a deeply spiritual connection in Odisha, particularly at the Sakhigopal Temple, near Puri. Here, the festival coincides with the Radha Pada Darshan Yatra, a day when devotees are granted a rare glimpse of Maa Radha’s sacred feet — a vision believed to absolve one of countless sins and bless the devotee with eternal bliss.

According to the temple legend, Lord Krishna once appeared in the form of Sakhigopal (Witness Gopal) to defend the honor of a humble devotee. Over centuries, the divine idol journeyed from Vrindavan to Kanchi, and eventually to Odisha, where King Purushottama Deva enshrined Him near Puri. But when the Lord took residence there, His beloved Radha remained in Vrindavan, leading to their separation. To fulfill this divine longing, Radha was later reborn in human form as Lakshmi, the daughter of the temple priest Beleswar Mahapatra of Satyabadi. Each night, the Lord would secretly visit her — their reunion celebrated in the sacred groves known as Bakula Ban, often described as “Gupta Vrindavan” or the hidden Vrindavan of Odisha.

When the king mistakenly accused the priest of wrongdoing, Lord Sakhigopal appeared in the king’s dream, revealing the divine truth and commanding that a golden idol of Radha be created and installed beside Him. The day this idol was consecrated, Lakshmi left her mortal body, and her tomb was later transformed into a Mahavir Temple, which still stands near the shrine.

The Divine Vision and the Odia Attire

The story further tells that, in memory of Radha’s human incarnation, her idol remained draped year-round in long garments — concealing her divine feet. But once a year, on Amla Navami, she appears in her Odia attire (Odiani Besha), and devotees are blessed with the rare opportunity of Radha Pada Darshan — the sacred sight of her lotus feet.

On this day, both deities are dressed in resplendent attire. Lord Gopal is adorned in the Natabara Besha (the charming dancer form), wearing a golden crown and holding a golden flute, while Maa Radha is decorated with traditional Odia ornaments — paunji (anklets), kundala (earrings), chandrika, nose ring, and the sacred Amla mala (necklace made of gooseberries). The temple resonates with devotional songs, rituals, and the fragrance of flowers and incense, as thousands gather for a glimpse of the divine pair.

Outside the temple, devotees tie red threads smeared with vermilion around Amla trees, praying for the fulfillment of their wishes, marital happiness, and the well-being of their children.

A Celebration of Nature, Faith, and Eternal Love

While the legends and rituals give the day its deep spiritual essence, Amla Navami also stands as a reminder of India’s ancient tradition of living in harmony with nature. Worshipping the Amla tree signifies gratitude to the environment that sustains life. Sitting beneath its shade or partaking of food there is believed to heal the body and calm the mind.

The spiritual significance of the day — the union of Radha and Krishna, nature and divinity, devotion and gratitude — makes Amla Navami a celebration of love and balance. Whether one believes in the myths or cherishes the symbolism, the festival’s essence remains universal: to honour the divine in nature, to find purity in devotion, and to live in harmony with all that sustains us.

Conclusion

Amla Navami and Radha Pada Darshan together remind us that faith is not separate from nature — it flows through the trees, rivers, and traditions that define our culture.

Beyond Renewables & Recycling Raises INR 5 Cr in Pre-Seed Round Led by Momentum Capital to Build India’s Circular Solar Waste Ecosystem

India, 30th October, 2025: Beyond Renewables & Recycling, a pioneering climate-tech startup focused on sustainable and high-value solar panel recycling, has raised pre-seed funding led by Momentum Capital, a US-based venture capital fund. The investment will accelerate the development of Beyond Renewables’ proprietary recycling technology, strengthen its waste supply chain, and scale operations to address India’s rapidly growing solar waste crisis. 

Founded in 2024 by Manhar Dixit and Vedant Taneja, Beyond Renewables has validated its recycling process at lab scale, achieving high recovery and purity rates for materials such as silver and silicon. This marks the company’s first external fundraise. Along with Momentum Capital, co-investors in the October 2025 round include Venture Catalysts, IIMA Ventures, Oorjan Cleantech, and Gautam Das, founder of Oorjan. 

India’s rapid solar adoption is expected to generate nearly 1.2 million tons of solar PV waste by 2040, a number that could climb to 4.8 million tons under an early-loss scenario. Much of this e-waste is currently handled by the informal sector, which often lacks the infrastructure to safely process hazardous materials, leading to low recovery rates and environmental damage. 

Beyond Renewables addresses this gap through a proprietary, eco-effective recycling process that achieves over 95% recovery of high-value materials from end-of-life solar panels. Using a combination of advanced thermal and chemical treatments, the company extracts aluminum, glass, silicon, copper, and precious metals such as silver with high purity, transforming hazardous waste into a valuable source of sustainably sourced minerals. 

“Beyond Renewables’ mission is perfectly aligned with our thesis of investing in companies that solve critical environmental challenges through deep-tech innovation,” said Ankur Shrivastava, Managing Partner at Momentum Capital. “The solar waste problem is not a distant threat, it’s a present and rapidly escalating issue. The Beyond Renewables team, with their advanced technology and clear go-to-market strategy, is uniquely positioned to dominate this market, which is projected to grow rapidly by 2040 to a ₹20,000 crore market. We are thrilled to partner with them to build a circular economy for India’s solar industry.” 

The company has developed a multi-channel waste sourcing strategy, partnering with asset developers, EPCs, manufacturers, and dismantlers to secure a consistent waste supply. Its focus on eco-effective, high-value recycling differentiates it from existing players that often rely on less efficient mechanical extraction methods.

“With India’s solar installations reaching 127.33 GW and a growing panel manufacturing industry, we have a responsibility to ensure sustainability from cradle to grave,” said Manhar Dixit, CEO of Beyond Renewables & Recycling. “This funding led by Momentum Capital is a massive vote of confidence in our technology and our vision. It will enable us to scale operations and provide a comprehensive, environmentally sound solution that turns waste into a national resource. We are not just recycling; we are creating a sustainable future.” 

After extensive research and validation, Beyond Renewables has begun commissioning its first industrial-scale facility in Rajasthan. With over 2,000 metric tons of solar waste already in the pipeline, the company is expanding partnerships with module manufacturers, EPC players, and asset owners to secure supply. Supported by IIT Mandi Catalyst and NSRCEL, the startup is also strengthening its sales channels and has secured LOIs from buyers for recycled glass, silicon, and other materials. 

NAREDCO Maharashtra Donates INR 3.12 Crore to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to Support Flood Affected Farmers Across Maharashtra

Mumbai, 30th October, 2025: In a heartfelt expression of solidarity with the farming community, the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) Maharashtra has contributed INR 3.12 crore to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to support relief and rehabilitation efforts for farmers affected by the devastating floods across Maharashtra. Of this total contribution, ₹1 crore was donated by Pune members, while the remaining amount was collectively contributed by Mumbai MMR members of NAREDCO Maharashtra.

The recent torrential rains and flash floods wreaked havoc across key agrarian districts including Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Nashik, Raigad, and Ratnagiri destroying vast swathes of farmland, submerging homes, and leaving thousands of families struggling to rebuild their lives. For countless farmers, months of hard work and investment were washed away overnight, resulting in severe financial and emotional distress.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, NAREDCO Maharashtra has stepped forward to support the state government’s mission to bring relief to these affected farming families. The ₹3.12 crore contribution, made collectively by around 20 NAREDCO Maharashtra members, is aimed at helping restore livelihoods, rebuild homes, and provide essential support to farmers as they recover from this unprecedented natural calamity.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra, said “Maharashtra’s farmers our revered Annadata are the backbone of our state’s economy, providing sustenance and strength to millions. The recent floods have not only damaged crops and farmland but also shaken the spirit of countless families. Through our humble contribution to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, we wish to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our farmers and support the government’s tireless efforts in ensuring relief, rehabilitation, and recovery.”

“This initiative is a reflection of our collective gratitude to the community that feeds the nation. We sincerely hope that our contribution helps bring some relief and hope to those whose livelihoods have been most affected,” he added.

NAREDCO Maharashtra expressed its heartfelt gratitude to its members and leaders who came together for this noble cause. Over the years, the organisation has been at the forefront of various social and humanitarian initiatives from disaster relief to community welfare reaffirming its belief that true progress lies not only in developing cities but also in uplifting the rural and agrarian fabric of the state.

As the state government continues its large-scale relief operations having already disbursed over ₹8,000 crore to nearly 40 lakh flood-affected farmers NAREDCO Maharashtra has pledged continued support and awareness to mobilise further assistance for those who nurture the land and feed the nation.

This contribution stands as a testament to NAREDCO Maharashtra’s commitment to compassion, collaboration, and community rebuilding ensuring that Maharashtra’s farmers rise again, stronger and more resilient than ever.
