Ma Prem Hasya

Ma Prem Hasya, or Françoise Ruddy or Hasya-Françoise Ruddy,[1] (née Wizenberg; 4 April 1937 – 19 August 2014) was a French-American follower of Rajneesh who served as his personal secretary (or chief of staff)[2] after Ma Anand Sheela.

She is the daughter of Icek/Izak (Yitzhak) Wizenberg, a Polish industrial worker who died in a World War II concentration camp, and Maria Wilczuk, also a Polish-born Jew.

According to sources her mother told her “I didn’t save you from the Germans in order to lose you to the Arabs,” and this in turn led to the family's preparations to emigrate to North America.

[1] In 1956 she married Guilford Glazer, a Jewish multimillionaire from Knoxville, Tennessee, and 16 years her senior.

[1] She had Parkinson's disease for the seven years preceding her death on August 19, 2014, at the home of her daughter, Erika Glazer.
