Maitreya Prema
Meditation Teacher · Direct Disciple of Osho
Maitreya Prema is a meditation teacher and direct disciple of Osho whose relationship with meditation began at the very beginning of his life. Initiated by Osho himself as a baby, Maitreya is known as the only baby ever to have been initiated by Osho.
His connection to Osho’s teachings was not something he discovered later in life, but something woven into his earliest beginnings. He went on to live and serve within Osho’s commune, immersed in a way of life where meditation extended beyond formal practice and into movement, awareness, celebration, expression and silence.
Maitreya’s approach to meditation is deeply experiential. Through movement, breath, sound, dance, witnessing and stillness, his work invites people beyond simply understanding meditation with the mind and into experiencing it through the body, heart and their own awareness.
Maitreya has travelled around the world sharing meditation, teaching and connecting with people across cultures and communities. His work has touched and positively impacted the lives of many, carrying meditation beyond borders and into the lives of those who have crossed his path.
Maitreya & Osho
Maitreya’s relationship with Osho is inseparable from his path. Having received initiation directly from Osho as a baby and later living and serving within his commune, Maitreya was immersed in Osho’s approach to meditation from the earliest part of his life.
At the heart of this approach is the understanding that meditation does not always begin in stillness. Osho’s active meditations work with movement, breath, sound, expression and witnessing, creating space to move through what is held within before entering silence.
It is within this tradition of active meditation that Maitreya’s own work is deeply rooted. Through a lifetime of lived practice, service and teaching, he continues to share meditation as a path of awareness and direct experience, inviting others to turn inward, witness themselves and discover what lies beyond the noise of the mind.
A Living Lineage
At Prithvi Living, lineage matters to us.
The meditation practices we share are not something we created or separated from their roots. They have reached us through teachers, lived experience, practice and relationship.
Maitreya is an important part of that living thread. Through him, Osho’s teachings and active meditation practices entered Sara and Anandi’s lives not simply through books or intellectual study, but through direct guidance, relationship and experience.
Osho to Maitreya. Maitreya to Sara and Anandi.
This lineage lives quietly within the roots of Prithvi, honoured through practice, remembrance and the way these teachings continue to be experienced and shared with care.
