Anand Subhuti’s book, “My dance with a Madman” is being republished in a second edition within a year. . It has not been much approved of by the Pune authorities …. sannyasnews has published a few extracts from it and a search on SN will reveal them in our archives. We would risk the opinion that it takes a mature disciple’s view of Osho.
Subhuti says: “When Osho died in January 1990, I knew I wanted to write a book on him and about the fourteen years I spent with him as a disciple. The adventure had been so intense, with so many unexpected twists and turns. For 20 years I kept postponing, I did not know how to write my story in a way that would make sense to readers as I did not want to write only for sannyasins like me.”.
The book, he says, is a collection of short anecdotes as he wanted to avoid long chronology of events. The first edition of the book was released in the United Kingdom a year ago. “I launched the same in India in 2011 but refrained from publicising it,” said Subhuti, who continued writing and collecting interesting information about Osho after the first book and hence, decided to write a second edition.
Sharing one such instance, he says, “I came across an interview that Osho gave in July 1985. Talking to an Australian radio reporter, Howard Sattler, he said he speaks candidly about his personal life and that he was not celibate.”
Other highlights of the second book include the chapter ‘The Illusionist’ that explores high risk financial aspects of building the Oregon Ranch, the place in Wasco County, Oregon, that housed close Osho disciples during the 1980s.
‘The Art of Whirling’ talks about Subhuti’s sense of turmoil at the end of the Oregon Ranch and ‘The Waiting Room’ reveals Subhuti’s returning to normal life in 1986 after being a part of a Rajneesh Commune for nine years.
“The chapter ‘The Hitler Greeting’ covers Osho’s final acts of provocation before his death,” said Subhuti.
These last three chapters are all additions to the first edition.
Subhuti says the title My Dance with a Madman has been controversial. “My book is a reminder of how much controversy Osho created during his life, and how difficult it was for people to accept him. Either you loved him, or you hated him, and that was the way he wanted it. He loved provoking people and fighting traditions, organised religions and politicians,” Subhuti elucidates.
Sounds like an interesting read.
Dear Mr. Editor,
I hope you have informed Subhuti about this article about his book, even better will be to invite him to answer the questions of the readers. You as an editor can even censor the questions as there are many rogue writers around, jumping on every single person who can dare to bare his heart on this site.
That is a surpringly good response Shantam, especially taking into account your open-hearted way of responding to questions asked of you.
I haven’t read Subhuti’s book, but recall him as an intelligent man and I’m sure it’s a good read. After looking up the book on Amazon, two quick comments:
1. I think the cover design is dreadful. Subhuti comments on how he’d like the book to be accessible to not just sannyasins, but the cover design, with its weird stick figures, is intelligible only to sannyasins. Suggest a simple photo of Osho and/or the author.
2. The remark “either you loved him, or you hated him, and that was the way he wanted it”. This is the traditional viewpoint, but perhaps it’s getting old. Time for more of us to see the man in a more nuanced light, embracing the paradoxes. Young people discovering Osho now likely do not love or hate him (in any real sense), but need to understand how the man has contributed to modern spirituality.
2 Could not agree more. Us old hands require patience when confronted with the enthusiasm of youthful folly. I personally need lots of patience with older sannyasins still parroting the same old, same old. I think part of the problem lies with a non existential perspective. People read Osho books, watch and listen to his discourses and take his experience or words as their own. The truth is not so easy to aquire. It is often hard-earned through sometimes bitter experience. You need to crawl through the hell worlds to reach the stairway to heaven. If you tell me that you have never been in hell you will never convince me that you are aquainted with heaven.
Lokesh, your question is in me, and for the matter of aesthetics, i will answer in the previous thread. As i mentioned previously, to answer specifically needs inner discipline. I lack that..
The above comment of yesterday is addressed specially to the editor as a relevant response..And you also see the mind of the people who read too much Osho and quote left and right. Many times things are said in a different context to someone else..
And here is one short story, crafted minutes ago.
One evening master invited five of his main disciples in his chamber.
“For next 21 days, you are going to meditate, eat and live together. Take care to use least possible words while communicating”. Master asked them after the initial greetings.
Which disciple could have dared to give any excuse to Big Boss?!
After the 3 weeks period, master calls them one by one to know about the experience and specially, how was the life with other four?”
Before retiring to his bed, master had a smile on his face. All the five have answered in a similar way, ” It was very deep and intense meditation. Many doubts became clear..and about my other fellow participants, ” well… they are very loving and refined..but yes..i could feel also a subtle ego in them!”
-The remark “either you loved him, or you hated him, and that was the way he wanted it”. This is the traditional viewpoint, but perhaps it’s getting old. Time for more of us to see the man in a more nuanced light, embracing the paradoxes. Young people discovering Osho now likely do not love or hate him (in any real sense), but need to understand how the man has contributed to modern spirituality.-
Teertha got it right.
But to do that you need intelligent people;with a bit of knowledge of their selves; knowledge of the sannyas movement from the inside;and knowledge of the outside world also and of the other spiritual movements; and how many of the old sannyasins are like this?
What often impresses me about the new generations is that they are somehow wiser than I was when I was a young man.
Isn’t that because our generation faced and dealt with different challenges, especially that post-war breakwaway from the deadening constraints of the old ways – you know, the ‘social revolution’ etc?
Of course the new generations can see things more clearly, it’s because people like us cleared away a lot of the rubbish blocking the view! The fact they can see more clearly is evidence that their elders succeeded, if not totally, at least enough to make this possible.
And part of their debt to us is that they can also see our mistakes…They’re actually a rather fortunate lot really (despite economic and ecological constraints)….
Right on the money, Satyadeva.
Anyway ‘young sannyasin’, which I’m pretty sure you are not, but if you are, you also, if you stick around, will be dismissed by those who follow you.

This is part of the ‘generations’ topic raised by Lokesh, presumably, Arpana?
This is a response to your spot on point.
Satyadeva
Young Sannyasin, don´t you have the name?
As far as i know, sannyas does not mean Taliban”, where to play undercover is good for health.
PS-Check the list of sannyasnames on the net and choose some fancy one. Neo Poona has created a new trend, give your self sannyas..why to be dependent on some one else..
Question is what is the need even for that.
Approx. 99.9999998% humanity is doing perfectly fine without Sannyas.
Shantam, you are exagerating again,
Arpana,my knowledge of english is limited.Can you explain me who are “those who follow you”?
I reckon he means the younger generation when you are one of the ‘has beens’, old and therefore, by definition, ‘past it’ (according to your previous sentiments), ie when you are of the older generation. As you certainly will be….
I do’t get anything of what you write.What are my “previous sentiments”? By the way I’m 31 years old,but i’d done my first workshop more than 20 years ago.Young enough? Anyway belive me when i say i wasn’t there when the hippyes from the west start to come to Koreagon Park,cause i wasn’t born yet.
By previous sentiments I was referring to the last paragraph of your 10.40am post here yesterday, where you implied much criticism of ‘old’ sannyasins.
I wonder how many such people you’ve actually come across as your remarks appear to carry all the misplaced, ill-informed, unappreciative arrogance of (relative) youth.
I’ve come across some of the filo-Veeresh the-rapists.Some of them from the old glorious 70′s of Koreagon Park.What drives me there in the first place was that they don’t seem to be much affected from devotional idiocy too much, not that much to treat a sannyasin differently from any other human being.Then there is the Veeresh personality-cult, but that is pretty much easier to work out, because of the simplicity and down to earth approach of the guy.
But i’ve been recently with people who are frozen in the Rajneeshpuram stage,and still believe that place was a paradise! That is what i mean with people who cannot really help the young arrogant people to understand the contribution of Osho to the world spirituality (I would rather call it just consciousness)
the ranch was paradise.
those were the best days of my life. and the rollsroyces were a device to screen out the unconscious masses.
it seemed to have worked on some of those whacked out hippies like lokesh,didn`t it?
why shouldnt it carry on working?
the guidelines of the master must be followed.
as for the nitrous oxide.
have you not heard of the sufi who was visited by an unbeliever.when the unbeliever arrived,he was appalled that the sufi was lounging back,halfnaked on his bed being poured drinks by a young boy,and left in outrage?
the sufi laughed, the boy was his son and the drink was tea.
it was all a fantastic device that could only have been conceived by a master of masters. it really hammered my ego….and giving the world an example lesson in how to live was a blessing. i am blessed to have had the privilege to be one of the chosen few,here as gurdjieff used to say,to change the course of history ..ok a few hundred rednecks got poisoned,and a bunch of people went to jail and it all fell apart in less thanhalf a decade but my ego would have been ridiculously large and out of touch with reality if it hadn`t been hammered by the masters continually compassionate devices….
and as for those who complain that true sannyasins spend their time parroting osho,i would say,beloveds, these people are members of the unconscious masses, retarded pygmies from rotten religions,idiots who have been reading the yellow press and listening to cunning politicians and have simply missed……
btw what is filo-veeresh?
In my arrogant mind i divide the movement into filo-Veeresh and filo-Poona ashram sides. Anyway, things are falling apart (perhaps i should say they are just changing and evolving in different forms) and now the Ashram is a resort, at the same time Veeresh with his crew really seems to be the only sannyas “institution” (please take it with a bit of humour) that has passed the test of time.
This means first go to Holland, throw out all your shit, make some friends and date some girl.Then go to India and book a holiday at the fucking commercial resort and, if you are lucky, fly high in consciousness.Or at least learn something about yourself. And without having to bow down to any “beloved master” that is not yourself. And to be honest, in my arrogant youngster mind, I don’t see what’s wrong with it, in part of the prices that are getting higher and higher every year, and this is the part that i really don’t like, considering also the fact that many arrogant and inexperienced youngsters like me, or even more than me, don’t have usually a lot of money in their pockets.
I am most impressed that someone whose knowledge of English is limited, knows to use quotation marks, and has even less spellunk mistakes than anyone else who has ever posted here.
Thanks for the appreciation.Anway you didn’t answer to my previous question.
But I did, so the answer’s there for you, 8.18pm yesterday.
those of the “younger generation” are no doubt doing better as a result of thre stupidity of us dinosaurs…..
the good news is that if you were a complete whackjob in your younger days(too many drugs,joining weird poison/sex cults,going mental,generally fucking up etc) and you see it now,then at least you have an excellent opportunity to “drop your ego”.
whereas those would-be holyguys who present their life as a tale of continual upward evolution via the most enlightened teachers,guides and masters etc to their inevitable enlightenment have an ego that they just cant/dont want to drop, so they`re hanging onto their egography like limpets up a whale`s arse…
Lokesh, i am not stating facts from Financial Times neither i am a trader working for UBS, where figures lead to hard cash.
Just a bit of poetic license is not exaggeration.
Osho has created a tradition of such things. For example..10,000 Buddhas!!
also i am following in the tradition of the master,although in the west only one generation it has happened, not like in the india where plumbing has not been so good but pumping stations for the divine have always been available….
poetic lie-sense is vital software available from steve jobs of spirituality,osho, neccesary for upgrading from disciple to master.
tradition there must be,but what of the future? can it be that thanks to the egos and petty childishnesses of certain devotees of her majesty who have stopped the pumping at the main pumping station for 99.9999% of the world will mean that future generations will not be able to reach such an intelligent understanding as i,who have received the benefits of oshopumping of 88-90?
what a tragedy!
Yes, indeed, vegetarian food for thought.
He(OSHO) loved provoking people and fighting traditions, organised religions and politicians,” Subhuti elucidates..
Question comes why He was doing this, what was the purpose, why He wanted to provoke and whether Sannyasins as an organsiation and in their original capacity has got some inspiration from this.
I would be glad to hear from Subhuti what is his take about the management team of the resort, as Subhuti is one of those sannyasins who are almost based in Pune.
One story i have heard about Subhuti, i don´t know whether it is a fact or ficiton, but definately it is not created by me.
A year or two ago, Subhuti wanted to meet Jayesh to tell him about the way sannyasins are feeling about his regime. So when he goes to meet Jayesh, he feels as if shadow of Osho is standing behind Jayesh. It was enough indication for him not to question further and accept everything.
Soumds like schizophrenia. That is, even taking into account Osho definately had a big freudian shadow to deal with. Perhaps lithium salts might block the neuro receptors that are causing Subhooti to experience these visual hallucinations and hopefully help him return to a normal life, Please keep us updated if the situation worsens.
Lokesh about your previous article “Osho as One?”,you may enjoy to watch this: http://youtu.be/E6C0ZflVw_8

“Forget the Church, Follow Jesus”, is a cover story in Newsweek.
“Yoga mit Jesus” is a lead article in this week´s Der Zeit, prestigious German Weekly newspaper.
I wonder why someone broken from that faith tells to the billions of Christians , what kind of Freudian relation they have with Jesus.
On the contrary such over smart souls are occupying the center stage at sannyas…Seems like to remember their adopted Dad as Uncle is a new sannyas Trend!
Osho was nobody’s uncle, because he wasn’t nice.
Most Christians in this week of all weeks simply ignore that Jesus was not God’s son, but that of a passing stranger, and like many who came that way, they seem to have some extra genetic load that pitches them well beyond their contemporaries. Yeah, Joseph came on the scene, and helped Mary, but face it she was a poor girl whose apron was high long before that.
Jesus was a smart dude, and outwitted the Rabbi’s even when he was twelve, so why he choose his death in the manner he did? – and as there seem to be a few young people around SN – well, he was dirt young when he died.
The only plain fact is that had he used his wits, he could easily have escaped those idiots who had him crucified, but had he done so none of us would know about him or his wonderful mystery school. Sadly that esoteric side was very largely taken over by a ridiculous amount of organised baloney which would make him sick.
thats a very sympathetic view of xianity.
i`m with osho on this one.
“fictitious father,crackpot son”
“fictitious father,crackpot son”
just another crazy bastard,really…..
Actually the history of Christianity in the 1st century CE does bear some interesting parallels with the current state of Osho’s movement. First few decades after the crucifixion, there was no Church, just scattered Jesus communities, many with differing views on what Jesus taught and stood for until Paul’s views gained ascendancy. The Westar Institute (a bunch of disinterested scholars) once determined that about 80% of the words attributed to Jesus in New Testament were not said by him, but were editorial insertions by agenda-ridden priests. The problem with Osho’s legacy will never be what he said (since his words will survive intact far into the future) but rather in how they are interpreted.
The other interesting parallel is with ‘spiritual status’ — the 1st century Jesus communities debated Jesus’ divinity (with some Gnostics denying it), something like how sannyasins now debate Osho’s ‘level’ of enlightenment. There are even the supernatural stories, like sannyasins who claimed Osho visited them in dreams, etc. I once knew a group of sannyasins who claimed they conjured Osho in a seance, and that he showed up in his sandals. ‘You had to be able to see through your etheric eye in order to see him’ one of them confidently told me. These stories are arguably similar to the Jesus transfiguration stories, or the ‘dead-risen’ Jesus eating fish in front of doubting Thomas, etc.
Yes the travels and travails of the early apostles after the death of Jesus are told in the The Acts of the Apostles. They travelled all round the Mediterranean spreading Jesus’s message. Many of them were murdered by the Romans (but not by nitrous oxide or thallium!) You can read the Acts on the web. Most people are not familiar with it. It is quite interesting.
PT,
do you think one day oshoism will end up like the bigtime religions we have now?
just think,in 3 or 4 centuries time….
osho missionaries heading off into space, and with the help of their starship fleets colonising space tribes,beating the shit out of them if they dont bow to osho and do his meditations every day.
or giving them soup and forcing them to watch osho videos….
being a “gnostic” could get pretty hairy,you could find yourself on the wrong end of a catholic sannyasins phaser gun…
or maybe it would be more buddhistic…
but even those guys got pretty psycho when buddhism reached china and japan….
osho`s statement “death is the greatest fiction” could go seriously scary if a bunch of militaristic nutters got onto it.
those guys would pull out old pics of the ranch with osho surrounded by uzis and make those pics a central sacrament and pray to them every day.
other more wacky subcults might send the sales of nitrous rocketing…
so,man,if reincarnation exists…
better start earning y`self up some good karma,you`re gonna need it…
and get ready for a white knuckle ride for the next aeon or two……
Frank, probably depends entirely on the technology. If we use up all the fossil fuels (peak oil) and fail to find an adequate energy replacement, cities may decline or even fall into ruin (rural living would be a better bet, at that point). One estimate has it that by 2100, civilization could return to a pre-1920s state. Books are already being phased out by the electronic revolution (e-books will eventually outnumber hard copies), but these e-books would essentially vanish, along with cyberspace, if they have no energy source. In such a scenario it’s conceivable that by 2100 few books of Osho’s might survive, and those would naturally be in tattered shape (so-called ‘perfect binding’, used in most trade paperbacks, is good for 30-50 years at best before falling apart — hard covers, a little longer, if well protected).
This of course is what happened to Jesus — no technology, and the scrolls didn’t survive, beyond a few tattered remnants. By 325 CE they essentially decided that Jesus was God — they could do that in part because of the lack of surviving written material — and the rest was history.
so maybe those guys at the resort should be carving oshos words into stone and marble tablets rather than marketing dvds and stuff.
Indeed, that statue of Osho at Poona Resort may be all that survives, if some dystopian future unfolds. Savages may then gather around it and decide that Osho is God. Someone may find a mala, and it’ll be like Charlton Heston discovering the head of the Statue of Liberty embedded into a beach in Planet of the Apes. Add to that a tattered copy of a darshan diary featuring a photo of sannyasins doing Dynamic Meditation, and the birth of Oshoanity will be complete.
shortly after the birth of oshianity, someone will unearth some filmreel of “the ten commandments”
and some pictures of the ranch..
what a synchronicity…
charlton heston again!
and both leading their chosen people through the desert.
then some guy will have to write a book:
“osho and charlton heston,two magi of the 20th century.”
And this will be the cover for the book:
http://www.ptmistlberger.com/resources/19727_front.jpg.opt657x459o0,0s657x459.jpg
subtitle:
“the ten habits of highly effective leaders of chosen people through deserts”
“Fictitious father, crackpot son”, it must be the first grade marketing that final product could rock the world.
“Real fathers, intelligent sons”, it must be the mystery why billions of such, simply live and die like dickheads!
What is made of these mystifying stories, Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha and more, what has been done with their teaching and understanding? Just filters for common use, keeping Humanity under control. Which “social revolution”?
The same stories we find many times within the Vedas, looks as all is stolen from there.
To me, these people are knowingly or they have been abused for use of United Babylons/Freemasonry Top whoring.
Why bother, Preetam, using these obscure terms, why not simply call it ‘the world’, with all its worldly, materialist values, utterly ignorant of and uninterested in the Truth?
And what do you think is the purpose of ‘the world’ for the spiritual seeker? Isn’t it to test us at every turn?
Rather like one gigantic, never-ending, ongoing ‘group’?!!
I like first of all, Truth. Everybody is free ignoring the causes of humanities pain. To me it is not the unwilling stupid men. But it brings lots of money for Therapist and keeps all rules same as ever. Sometimes war, little hunger, thirst, and hate between groups, just out of a dirty game confusing the masses. Its ok if one found strategies being happy, eye of the Tornado. Not enough to me…
But what do you actually do about it? And can anyone do anything about it?
Or are you just wasting your energy complaining?
Is it all just too far gone? (ie “We’re doomed, Captain Mannering, doomed, sir!” Famous quote from UK tv sitcom, ‘Dad’s Army’)
Karl Jung oncen ( cant find the quote. Will keep looking. ) that anyone who works on themselves, diminishes the size of their shadow, diminishes the size of the collective shadow, infinitesimally, but …….
That feels OK to me. We can contribute, but we dont get to be famous historical figures for the contribution
apparently,carl jung used to tell a story about meeting a man who had,as he put it, “no shadow”.he was amazed.
then,later,jung met the man`s wife,and he understood.
Who do you think you’re kidding Mister Hitler?
The emphasis these days is not so much to do with what can be done but rather who is it that imgines they are doing the doing.
Yes, it is quite far gone. But once in a while it needs to be said.
Can not remember who said it: If the US people would understand their financial system , the system crashes immediately. Because in the broader sense it is cause for lots of pain and hate, and the cause why people that far of themselves because of created confusion and pressure. Instead, people now going to Therapy hoping for freedom from this chaos and managing the next day.
For all we know, war might be the planet’s way of population control. Maybe the planet created man because it needed lots of plastic for some reason that is beyond our comprehension. No need to worry about any of it. In the greater scheme of things we do not exist even on a microscopic level.
It may all be composed of pure chaos and all our atempts at trying to bring meaning to it all by saying such things as life is a school are simply castles made of sand. Towards the end of Osho’s life he returned again and again to the world of Zen, for of all the world’s religions (for want of a better word) it is only Zen that celebrates the purposelessness of life. Ultimately it might indeed be all for nothing and nothing for all. That’s cool with me, yet there is something that says it is not. Ah, sweet mystery of existence.
Preetam,i agree with you that the human kind is enslaved from powers that have a knowledge of the human nature and of what is around it that most of the people cannot even imagine.But the thing is that they have power ’cause they are able to “trigger” something that is already inside of us, let’s call it the dark side.Then the light side is there too (sammasati,remember that you are the buddha! Remember?), but the nature of the world today does everything to repress, smash down this side in every possible way. And most of the cases,they manage.
Therefore unless you are a superman,the only meaningful thing you can do today is try to find yourself in the middle of hell. If you manage, then you become a little, very little light to the world too. And of course, time is running and now is the time to find the connection between what’s happening inside of us, of the collective consciousness, and gets reflected into the world. That’s my poor opinion.
Thats the point, this Darkside is not Part within our “Self”.
Right there they hook in with the Black magic in creating dark schemes, by understanding and knowing of old knowing. These people more Occult and Mystified than any normal sane seeker.
‘You are a superman,the only meaningful thing you can do today is try to find yourself in the middle of hell.’
I’m no superman and I know my way around hell and I am not living in it. In fact. Where does that leave me, YS?
in Ibiza maybe?
Well, that is for sure. Spring comes and the weeds grow by themselves. I’m making a lawn and have discovered that the grass does not grow by itself. It needs lots of water and fertilizer. Another myth disspelled.
preetam,
if i have learned one thing as a seeker of truth, it is this…
its always someone else’s fault…..
not even shantam realises that the resort is being run by 12-foot lizards who subsist solely on bombay gin and nitrous oxide that they get from the freemasons….
and frankly,whilst the world is being run by babylonians, freemasons, templars and other members of the illoonilati, i really cant see the point of getting out of bed…….
and if the choice is between that and youngman from the ymca`s vision of a meaningless universe, then it’s probably time to book my weekend break at dignitas….
It is not meaningless, again a point… because this Self created existence. Do we think, first was Material and later came the energy… This existence is pure abundance of our Self.
preetam,
ok,if its not meaningless,then what IS the point?
you say “the existence is pure abundance of self”
sounds great,but what happens when you get sick of your self?
so you need a new girlfriend,some money or some ecstatic religion ,you go out looking for it but you cant get a piece of the action cos the bloody freemasons are running the place…
what then?
It needs a verifying of this Self. By the way, I am not really interested in the Masons, but my search does not allow not looking at it. Just want to share a Result. Did not know that it triggers resentment.
That’s right Frank; and your the person whose fault it all is.
If it wasn’t for you this site would be perfect, and we would all be hopping around the grass like little happy bunnies, because we would have been able to work out which of the all wise, all knowing people who post here we should submit, I mean surrender to.
If it wasn’t for your endless quips, and bein’ a smart arse all this could happen. Nirvana is within our grasps; so just cut it out Frank, just cut it out.
Or, you could visit Ibiza. So quiet and peaceful with not a12 foot lizard in sight.
Farmers leave behind crops, industrialists leave behind products, Actors leave behind movies, politicians leave behind chaos And what spiritual masters leave behind….??
Inspiring Books!!
Senstive souls can cook the quotations from such books and create Pasta for their daily nourishment or for further distribution.
Just remembering where is Frank´s twin brother Anand…One is a smart cop another was a senstive cop!
I wonder who is the screen play writer to create these both characters, Frank and Anand, Santa and Banta!
excuse me youngman.
run out of space have to continue here…..
no need to go to humaniversity to get horizontal then to pune to go vertical….
youngman,theres a place you can go
youngman when your short on your dough
youngman put your pride on the shelf
youngman you`re gonna have to find yourself
at the y…m…c…a.. dadadada
the y..m..c..a…
but seriously, youngman,
if you`ve got a bit of spare cash,check these places out for the experience.
they might not force you to bow to any “dead guys with beards”as the main guy in pune put it, but if you are female and anything other than an absolute minger, you are gonna get seriously harrassed by wannabe therapists and failed zenmasters trying their appalling chatup lines on you.
“i feel your`re a rolls royce pretending to be a skoda”
“its clear that it’s time to release some repressed energy, you are soo english” in Holland
and “your energy is really beautiful” in Pune
you`re young and inexperienced,so i`ll give you a tip here…when guys get old and grey, virtually anything that is pre-menopausal and actually talks to you is pretty amazing …
so mind your ass, go easy on the drugs, especially in rehabs, and have a nice life…….
i’ve checked these places already.Fortunately i’m male,and so the failed zenmasters and the wannabe the-rapists doesnt harrass me that much, not in that sense at least. Anyway, you’re right,to see the old ones using all their knowledge of psychological manipulation to get a young female body in their bedspace, it’s really ugly.But i guess it is someting that has happened much much more in a much weird way in poona one than today, even if i don’t believe that sannyasnews will never dare to take off the deep shit about these stories.
Anand Subhuti, the sannyasin writer, the base of this article is on facebook. I have just send him the friend request, perhaps second time. I don´t know whether first request was ignored or he deleted me from the friends list after few days to see my style of writing, which quite often targets the Resort CEO.
Out of 1575 people in the list, almost half are sannyasins, with whom i have face to face recognition from Pune 2 years. Around 15 to 20 people have deleted me from the friends list, the people who are not just visitors to Pune but are associated with the present regime.
Point is if editors have not connected with Anand Subhuti about the space given to his book at sannyasnews, they can do it through facebook. As I can imagine, Subhuti will not feel like writing even few words for this site. Somehow, in the world of misfits, sannyasnews is not fitting for the simple reason, misfits of yesterday have become quite status friendly seekers…

Trustees of Sri Aurobindo ashram and a book by an historian, i hope the above video will shed some light over the power games played around dead masters and dishonest attempts to project them as snow white clean angels..
Shree Shantam, I watched this link and found it as uninspiring as your comment. I think you need a girlfriend…or maybe a boyfriend, or how about a poodle?
If i dare to say after seeing the world around, bodyless masters are like Ex. presidents of USA. They can be any where, every where, but can not be the law makers, can not decide the policy matters.
Same way, even if someone is a living master does not mean at all, he will porve to be a good president or a policy maker. Just look around, you will find many Zardari´s in the world; the presidents who are known as Mr.10%
As you believe the world to be so it is. I think it is a poodle you need, Shree Shantam. If you don’t know how to do it I’ll show you how to walk the dog. Is your tail wagging in time to your tired old tongue?
