In hidesight, Osho´s Pune would have more allround growth with an Indian crook sannyasin on the hot seat rather than a morally upright western disciple.
Coming soon,my impression of a day in 1992-93(?) when a fellow inner circle member was stripped naked from his postion in Buddha hall before thousands of eyes by morally upright colleagues. It´s a story of greed, intrigue, rivelery, jealousy and domination. It is a story how clash of small components push the space ship into crash landing.

Sahasi, may be what Arun is doing is the best in the context of Nepal, still one of the most underdevloped land, so poor that most of the brothals in India are having Nepalisse girls as the premium product.
In this social background, Arun is creating a wave of self confidence, pride and self esteem in the Nepali youth. Look in this way too, what was the need for a western person like you to go that far. Surely, there is a vacuum in the local market.

I don’t understand the obsession with Osho’s work. Fundamentalists speak in those terms. Would be great to be able to live naturally with others and support each others silence, but it’s not happening right now and you can’t force it, it has to happen organically . Went to Nepal to Arun’s place last year and was quite disappointed. He is turning Osho into a Jesus figure and he is self appointed pope.

Good research. I looked for a reference and never found one! Not sure what this says about Keerti’s ‘condtioning’. if you go with the suicide theory (and we’ve got accident and murder to choose from too), modern day sati is not too much of a stretch.

i would like to refer my learned friends to the conversation between frank and swami chaitanya keerti on the 30th november and 1st of december 2009,on the thread “what happened to nirvano”..
swami chaitanya keerti wrote:”she(nirvano,vivek) could not imagine living after he was gone.it was going to happen quite soon.she was very intuitive.she chose to commit suicide…”
frank,in his reply asked: “are you saying it was a modern instance of sati using pills instead of fire.is that it?”
keerti,in his answer repeated the question thereby making it clear to whom the reply was directed and wrote the following:
“frankly speaking,you do sometimes get it right”.

Martyn- if you shave off that goatee you might regain some of your lost sanity. just the opposite of Samson, where he lost his strength when he lost his hair, you’ll lose your insanity if you lose your whiskers… cheers and pleasant dreams

i think the problem today is that everyone’s “interconnected”. Not in a positive way either, Keerti says with the advent of Facebook and other social media, “the sangha is even more interconnected”….. from afar, a distance; no “up close and personal” contact… easy to be interconnected in this way.. the chicken shit way… the big pussy way… tough monkeys from the trees deep in a distant forest… face to face, taking the biggest gamble of one’s life and coming into personal contact with a mystic— not this generation of pussy boys and girls. Talk and blogging is easy and cheap… Hey, it’s nice to see the pussy boys, Lokesh and shantam back in the groove.. Lokesh: you’re still a flaming Scottish asshole for banning me from your facebook page. shantam- stick with facebook, there are more like you posting everyday.

@Marty.
Do you know I swear I’ve gone another step towards Nirvana. Having the piss taken so subtly has really stirred up my chackra’s.

Genuflections and Salaams.

Arpana, I think The Who summed it up best when they sang, ‘We won’t be fooled again.’
I always chuckle when Catholic sannyasins tell me that Rajneeshpuram was a device created by Osho for our awakening. Then again, there is much truth in it. I think the ranch was a great lesson in showing the power of authoratarianism and how manipulated and programmed we are collectively for it. To cartoon it, it showed how easy it is to turn people into facist robots and, if you learned the lesson well, you will never go for that shit again.

Shantam, what was really special about Poona Two was that you were there. The big difference between One &Two is that in the good old days you could get up close and personal with Osho. You received your instructions directly, not collectively. There was little chance of getting away with bullshit under the master’s eye. The bottom line, as far as my limited understanding goes, you arrive where you need to in order to learn what you must at certain junctures in life. It is none of my business but I’ll say it anyway….your whole One & Two argument appears childish to me. I suggest letting go of it, unless your objective is to make a clown of yourself, something which you are up until now on this blog being most successful at. There is no competition…inner life is each individual’s private affair…a very private affair and not a public enquirey….hey! isn’t that a line from a Dire Straight’s song?
