While in America, Dr. Joshi came across the revolutionary works of Osho. He felt so touched by Osho’s insights and his vision that in 1975 he arrived from Chicago in Pune, India, for participating in a ten-day meditation camp. It was on the first day of this meditation camp that Dr. Vasant Joshi was initiated by Osho and was named Swami Satya Vedant. Later, Osho appointed him as Chancellor of Osho Multiversity.
