Have you seen the Light Bus?

Reward Offered for any information leading to the discovery of the lost Light Bus. Contact info@woodstockbus.com.

This now-famous bus was on the Ruscombe property back when it was the Savitria Commune and AUM Esoteric Study Center, and we’re hoping that someone from the Ruscombe community of clients and friends may remember it from way back then.

If you know anyone who was connected with the Savitria community or the early days of AUM, would you please ask them to contact us if they have any memories of this bus?
