Dr Vasant Joshi has been in the academic field for over thirty years working in India and in the United States of America. He was so touched by Osho's insights and his vision, that in 1975, he arrived in Pune, India to participate in a ten-day meditation camp. It was on the first day of this meditation camp that Dr Vasant Joshi was initiated into sannyas by Osho and was named Swami Satya Vedant.
