		<description><![CDATA[Swamishanti, imagining that these episodes of abusive post editing could have a coherent direction could make SD raise his eyebrows, a Pavlovian reflex that makes his mouth salivate before accusing someone of conspiracy (about this I&#039;ll put a link below, it&#039;s an article by Majid where he writes that the Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier wasn&#039;t a stoned old man with a filthy imagination when he claimed that the Covid virus had been created in a laboratory, specifying that the conspiracy theorists are the ones who do the conspiracies and not those who denounce them: https://majidvalcarenghi.it/blog/).

I have already responded to SD, observing the excessiveness of his reaction to the hypothesis that an anti-Osho &quot;gang&quot; may exist (&quot;lurid imagination&quot;) since he seems to elude the possibility that the episodes we are talking about are not sporadic and isolated actions of some hacker, without any particular aversion against Osho.

I also pointed out the asymmetry of his judgment in defending those I put in the &quot;gang&quot; framework (anti-Osho), compared to the way he approaches those who have been mocked here for years using the &quot;sangha&quot; framework.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Veet, someone has been altering some of the comments as we observed with yours and mine, and a couple of weeks ago we observed that someone has changed one of Satchit’s comments into Chinese, although that doesn’t necessarily mean whoever did that was Chinese, and whoever did that clearly wanted to be noticed unlike the other changes which would have gone unnoticed unless noticed. 

Also, I have noticed that some of my older comments have disappeared, as well as one of Parmartha’s criticisms of an American Catholic, very large online media influencer, also anti-Osho disinformation writer who also uses links to this  site.  

And a comment from SD where he mentioned  that Barry Long had five girlfriends on the go at the same time has disappeared. 

I have also demonstrated that the text of an online book about Nisargadatta Maharaj, ‘A Day with Maharaj’, written by Milo Clark, has had the text altered on several online sites including the American  Roman Cantholic ‘anti-cult’ site and a Facebook page, to remove a passage which indicated that he used course language of a beedie seller, and  sexual innuendos and swearwords  in his daily speech to visitors.
 
What he said was passed through Marathi translators so visiting Westerners , who were mainly American, would have missed some things. And Milo Clark and other visitors such as David Godman have explained that. 

That was after the original uncensored version of the text by Milo Clark used on the Facebook page had been featured on a particular Qoura answer about Nisargaddata  Maharaj which has since been deleted but could be potentially restored. 

The original uncensored book can still be found only by someone who knows what they’re looking for, but it takes some searching.

Nisargaddata Maharaj, like Ramana, is popular in the US and viewed as a ‘model saint’, whereas a lot of effort is being put in to portray Osho  as a devil, or a ‘fallen guru’. 

Apparently, Poonjaji, (HWL Poonja), another Indian guru viewed by some as a saint, was also having sex with some of his disciples, and of course this would also not be seen as acceptable by those with the more uptight Christian conditioning who have made the anticult sites with their judgments of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ guru’s. 


More recently, in India Ma Anand Sheela is bizarrely being promoted as a kind of hero and her book and interviews are being used in some quarters of social media to portray Osho as a guru corrupted by Westerners. 

Many younger Indian sannyasins have been led to believe that Sheela wasn’t involved in any poisoning, yet there were several sannyasins who reported becoming sick, sometimes mildly, sometimes violently and dangerously ill, after visiting Sheela’s residence at Jesus Grove and being offered a cup of tea or a cookie. Apparently she grew jealous of some people, according to various reports.

Some of those people are still alive today. Accounts of those kinds of things are not only present in books such as ‘Osho: The Buddha for the Future’ by Maneesha. Ma Anand Bhagawati recalls becoming ill one night after being offered a coffee with Ma Anand Sheela at Jesus Grove in this piece:
‘The Road To Twinkiehood’, part two: https://www.oshonews.com/2020/08/22/return-to-the-ranch/

There is no longer any security on this site either but it is also possible that this kind of thing was happening even before Parmartha passed away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SD, I don&#039;t want to stimulate your lurid conspiracy imagination again by asking you the same question (to which you already answered that you didn&#039;t know) about the authors of that post editing.

What makes you react like this when I use the word &quot;gang&quot; when you don&#039;t raise an eyebrow when the word &quot;sangha&quot; is mocked here?

From Majid&#039;s blog I received an article written by him and you can get there from here (and then translate the article that talks about Luc Montagnier, where Majid wonders if the conspiracy theorist is the one who creates conspiracies, small or large, or who denounces them):

		<description><![CDATA[Satchit, the last time I slammed the door behind me it wasn&#039;t because Lokesh criticized what I wrote but because someone secretly changed the text of what I had written, and he did it during one of the usual clashes with Lokesh or one of his gang.

I believe that if they had never committed to such incorrectness it means that the SN gang began to feel difficulty in finding the arguments to support the validity of their existential attitude, at least the virtual one shown here in all these years.

The knots come home to roost, in fact losing your hair with age is not a sign of wisdom.

Evidently cynicism doesn&#039;t pay, and if it&#039;s true that some Osho lovers (perhaps Arpana) have left the chat, perhaps tired of the verbal fights and low blows received with impunity, many on the opposing front also seem to have exhausted the resources for their cold action of compulsive nihilism, their only cold passion.

I feel sorry for them, perhaps the vaccines, welcomed into their bodies with faith in science learned on television from gurus of good intentions, have produced the adverse event of extinguishing their smirk of arrogance.

Thanks to everyone for keeping this show on the road.
