		<description><![CDATA[Nityaprem, I also sometimes look for some kind of virtual reconnections, stories and memories of other sannyasins, but in vain, those days are over. 

You either have real contact with friends from the sangha, or just move and bend Sannyas in your thoughts with your ability to write about it. But the real thing can’t be transported anymore because the source (Osho) we once shared, has gone - or is just available in your own privacy, howsoever deep it might be there….

On facebook there are some groups who try to realise a sharing of “Sannyas Lost &amp; Found”, but this rarely happens, because as we read something from another mind it gets dragged into mind-fuck whether that may contain truth, or not. And this is such a tiring process that most people rather say something like: Thumbs Up...or yes, I like that…or just stay away and silent because to disagree or teach a better way to look at Sannyas, Osho and “the rest of it” is not really worth the energy spilled.

Those few groups who say they want to re-establish some nice kind of sharing are in most cases just one-man-band events. They share some stories but nobody else does. The only writer is isolated in his own stories, editing his own memories in articles, quotations, images or forwardings but no one else feels happy to do the same.

A few exceptions are there. This “newsgroup of five” for example, or that group of residential workers from all Osho communes, but the outcome is self-oriented stuff mostly, some need to therapise misled exercises and lost hopes or some misuse you try to declare by coming-out and heal just by writing about it to receive some helpful solidarity maybe.

And the rarest thing happens around a real author who just shares his happenings and experiences – for example, just like Subhuti does in a very acceptable, interesting way and with skill. He just published another book:

		<description><![CDATA[Some badly written thoughts on Sannyas-GROOMING:

I skipped the first coming-out stories of grooming, and the tales of that dancing medium giving blow-jobs to Osho as typical Anti-Sannyas mainstream media bullshit - we read so many releases in the old days, and now again. But now I can accept such stories even if I don&#039;t read them. Those things will have happened just as everywhere else around the globe.

Sannyas was alive when Osho lived - more or less - for those who enjoyed the early days in Poona One like me. All different stories, yes, but some things we had in common, you surely had to have a lot of sex...or be damned a stupid monk unable for Sannyas. 

Because I did not explode screaming and shaking while I had an individual bioenergetic session with bitchy Poonam (English Ma) she gave me this advice I had to accept before she told me: &quot;For one week fuck another Ma each day. But don&#039;t choose the Easy-Fucks&quot;...I felt shocked I was that asexual and of low energy...and of course I didn&#039;t follow her advice - how could I, poor me ? Haha.

Many sannyasins dropped out after a few years of holding on to the sangha, went to other Masters/Gurus, sat in Advaita circles and tried to keep connected to the spiritual path somehow. Those who still speak up nowadays are regretting the old days in some way or the other - mostly. The Me-Too from their unreleased traumata helps them to finish their former spiritual journey to live in peace with a needed: &quot;Osho, leave me alone!&quot; Maybe it helps them but a needed therapy this time can&#039;t be spiritual of course. &quot;Fuck Sannyas!&quot; may do the job...for a while....

Bad English enough for tonight?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that you don’t want to write an article, Satchmo. 

It saddens me, but it doesn’t surprise me. Maybe you could get Dominic or Frank to ghost-write it for you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think an article will happen, NP.
Because it&#039;s difficult to express truth with words.

Yesterday I have found truth, today I have lost it.
Both are still part of duality.

Search for inner peace and joy, then it stays with you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the brightly-coloured family of those who still call themselves sannyasins and those who do not can use a bit of a lift today. I feel we have more in common than sets us apart, if we choose to be tolerant and kind and forgiving towards each other.

There are always arguments about what Osho was or was not, and I think people should be allowed their opinions, because each person&#039;s view of Osho will have been formed by their experiences before and after times in the communes. Just take a moment to create some distance between yourself and another poster before crafting a fiery reply. Is it kind? Is it beneficial?

I would like to see all those who shared the Osho experience come together to reflect, to share the wisdom of passing years. Maybe we will be able to reach a new perspective together.]]></description>
