Dear All,
For those of you who don't yet know about the book, "A Seam for the Master", this is a light-hearted, very humorous but often touching story of the 12 years I spent sewing and knitting for Osho. Looking at your favourite photo of Osho or watching him on video, you may have wondered how he came to be wearing those particular garments and hats. Here is the explanation - mixed up with all the trips he put me through (and the others in the sewing room) while we were making everything. The inside story! It is probably rather a unique example of a Master/disciple relationship - sewing and knitting as a path to enlightenment?!
The book contains about 50 mostly coloured photographs to illustrate the stories.
We are trying to get the book out by the beginning of December and at the moment we are offering a special advance price of £11.99 plus postage and packaging. Advance payments will be used to finance the printing of the book, so all advance orders will be hugely appreciated.
To order, please log on to our web-site: www.treetongue.co.uk (includes excerpts and photos). Payments can be made by credit or debit card (in British pounds) through our 'paypal' banking system. This is a very secure system so your card details will not be at risk.
The book will be mailed to the address you insert on the web-site.
Payments in Britain can be made by cheque (made out to R.L.Schlegel and sent to me c/o Nishok, 2 Chapel Downs Cottage, Threshers, Credition EX17 3PB) or paid into my bank account: Lloyds TSB, Totnes Branch; Sort Code: 30-98-69; Acc. No: 01711675; Acc. Name: R.L.Schlegel
As postage and packaging charges are automatically configured when you pay by card on the web-site and can't be seen, here are the postal charges for payments by cheque or bank: £2.50 for Britain and £3.20 for Europe. Please add to the book price. For charges for other publications please contact me on or Nishok on
If you feel like forwarding this information to other sannyasins who you think might be interested, it would be great. And if you feel like writing me an email just to connect and tell me how and where you are, I would love to hear from you.
Love, Veena
