During Poona 1, when Osho held the Energy Darshans, Nirvano was in charge of all the mediums (women who assisted Osho in the energy work) who at one time numbered about thirty-six women. The team consisted of a doctor, a dentist, a dental nurse, two handymen, two car mechanics, three cooks, two cleaners, a laundress, a librarian, and some people who made his clothes and did other sewing tasks such a making curtains for his room and upholstering his chairs. She was supported by a team of people, most of whom lived in Osho’s house so that they would be able to assist in the event of an emergency. She performed all these many roles with grace, humour, intelligence, efficiency and genuine affection but, at any careless action which might result in discomfort or danger to Osho, she could become as ferocious as any tigress intent on protecting her young. She had at all times to be aware and alert to safeguard Osho from those less alert than she was. As she was accompanying Osho wherever he went, she was well-known to every sannyasin. From then onwards she dedicated her life to looking after Osho in a number of ways: as a trusted companion, housekeeper, nurse, secretary, photographer and general odd-jobs woman.

(*1) Although Nirvano did some work for Osho during the following year, she only started to take care of him full time when he went to Pune in 1974. Slowly Nirvano became closer to Osho and returned to Mumbai with him while Michael went back to Australia. When Osho arranged a meditation camp in Mount Abu in the spring of 1972, both Michael and Nirvano accompanied him there. Later they went to meet Osho in his apartment and both stayed either there or nearby for a few months. While there, Nirvano met Michael Graham, an author from Melbourne, Australia, who suggested that she go with him to listen to a talk by an increasingly popular Indian teacher called Acharya Rajneesh (later Osho), in a place called Cross Maidan in the centre of the city. He invited her to go with him to visit his parents in Mumbai (then Bombay) towards the end of 1971. In her late teens she went to work in Germany where she met a young Indian man called Ravi. In tune with the times, she rebelled in her teenage years against her conservative upbringing.
