Shantam, your blunt arrow comment is so off target it does not even warrant a response, other than to inform you that is the case.

Lokesh only claim to fame is that he met Osho Aka Bhagwan Shree, when the master was in the process of first delivery to the export market, and once the business started growing, people like Lokesh simply left the arena. After all, personal attention of the Daddy was not available any more.
Bascially the myth that a personal guru is very important is shrded to pieces by the first generation Osho disciples. I cannot see a single trait where they prove better then the average sannyasin or even the world around them.
Seems like any kind of short cut makes the path long!

when sannyasnews becomes,as it inevitably will, the unholy gnoshtic reference text par excellence,(in the heyday of neo-neo-neo-neo sannyas,in 200 years time, as osho predicted)….
…i would like to be remembered as st francis of oshisi, the magus who famously conversed with his ass…….

and all due credit to
big al the magick…
st george the rascal…
osh the gasssss….
and the multi-coloured rogue brother and sisterhood….

Teertha…spot on. In other words, concise and informative.

Yes, and the Book of Arpana is being written now, so look sharp.

And I dare say you’ve done a very good job. I once ran a busy message board for seven years and I know what a thankless task it can be. Hell you don’t even make minimum wage.

The Internet is a very strange realm — it would have been interesting to hear Osho’s take on it. I see it as a type of Bardo, a dimension full of disembodied souls struggling to make sense to each other. Minus the embodied element it is a great training ground for clear/creative communication, but it is also a dumping ground for unfinished business. A type of wasteland with the occasional gem on a hilltop here and there among valleys of shit and debris.
