	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Vachanas
		Vachanas are a form of Kannada poetry and, according to the 20th century scholars, closely linked to the social revolution lead by Basaveshvara, Allama Prabhu and Akka Mahadevi.
		Vachana’s journey with Osho began back in 1976 when she and her then husband, Tejas, became interested in the growth moment that was happening in London.
		On a final note, Vachana says that there is always space in her house or studio (see Ad-Ventures) for sannyasin friends so if someone wants to come for a while to experience the magic, beauty and silence of this place in the mountains, they are welcome.

	History of the Kannada Literature IV -- The Vachanas
		Vachanas are aphoristic in form and rhythmic in style and words.
		Their Vachanas born out of their respective vocations are full of imagery and liveliness.
		With the Vachana movement, Kannada language broke the traditions of court poetry and opened avenues to one and all who aspired to express his/her innersoul.

	Vachana - Profile - Osho in UK
		Her beloved Welsh mountains formed an almost spiritual backdrop to her aged but very firm voice saying how the magic and wisdom of Osho has stayed with her throughout her almost 30 years of sannyas and remains the centre of her life.
		(Thus the trip was paid for!) At the last minute Vachana decided she wanted to go too so, with her son, his friend and younger daughter (later Harish, Tejomaya and Surabhi), they all travelled overland in a Ford van, having many adventures along the way.
		It was the first time she had a sense of unconditional love and she said that for the next few days she walked around in a kind of dream, feeling quite drunk.

	The Music Magazine -- India's first and finest music e-zine
		Akka asserted her feminine individuality, but for her male and female were again veneers, for in a vachana she speaks of the spirit within that is neither male nor female.
		That was because the vachana, the form of poetry that took shape during the 12th century Veerashaiva movement, is not set to any metre.
		Vachana means that which is uttered, and vachana poetry quite easily joined the oral tradition.
