Mumbai, 14th October 2025 — In a historic cultural milestone for the city’s literary and spiritual crowd, Mumbai saw the opening of its very own standalone bookstore dedicated solely to the writings of the legendary spiritual guru Osho.

This bookstore is a chance for individuals to connect with his book in a meaningful manner,” Jalota stated.
A Hub for Enthusiasts and Seekers
‘Osho Glimpse’ will seek to be more than a bookstore.
