I had feared that all the instruments would be broken or rotten, and the machines eaten up. “I did not expect anything to work when it finally came out. When the equipment was finally released from customs, he was amazed to see that the recording equipment and instruments had not been damaged by the Indian climate (heat and humidity) and lack of cleanliness (bugs and rats).

I would go back and make the changes – but after that he did not want to hear it anymore.” Of course, if he wanted, Osho could hear it from his room while we meditated – the ashram was quite small! He would also tell me if it should be faster, wilder or input like that. He would give me feedback if he liked it or not, what was missing, and what was good maybe he would mention to add a flute somewhere. “We would listen to the music together in his room. After having received the instructions from Osho for this meditation he recorded the stages. The second project was to be the Dynamic. Also, he had to stop playing and recording exactly after the fifteen minutes each stage lasted…. This meant that there was no cutting and no editing. He had his faithful Uher reel-to-reel recorder but no mixer. In our digital age it is almost impossible to imagine the difficulty he must have had. So then Chaitanya made a new version and composed his own music for the Kundalini. When I played it to Osho he said that it had to be more alive, it had to be more wild and crazy and dynamic.”

So I recorded him playing and for the other stages I took various pieces of Indian music from records in one of them was a santoor. He told me he a feeling about snake charmer’s music and suggested I should go and listen to some snake charmers (there was one who used to come regularly to our backstreet). “For the first stage of the Kundalini, the shaking, he had some ideas. He gave me the outline, the feeling of the meditation and with that I went and tried to put some music together. “Osho would tell me his idea about the music, what the effect should be, what the music should help with, what the goal of the meditation was and what the music should do for it. Osho no longer wanted non-sannyasin musicians in the ashram, so Chaitanya set to work on the project as soon as he arrived. The first project was going to be the music for the Kundalini. At the time India did not allow any foreign electronics to come into the country – although nobody wanted to buy their inferior quality equipment anyway those who could, bought foreign-made articles on the black market. He packed up his studio and instruments in Germany and shipped them off to India where, unfortunately, they languished for a whole year at the customs depot. When Osho moved to Pune in 1974, Chaitanya was invited to come and create the music for the meditations.
