The dangers of the Hinduisation of Osho

Shantam explores:

Osho HindU

 

When I see the kind of photos like the above of Osho, I am astounded as to  what kind of pigmy disciples (with monstrous minds)  must have created them.

Indian gurus,  mostly with a Hindu background have quite often this vulture habit to trade on all the past …giants – and pretend to assimilate them into their own being.

And their over zealous disciples then propagate this thought and the real truth is slaughtered.

Now when Osho is no more it’s a case of  “create your own Osho with your graffiti paints”.

Osho has reminded us more often than not,  that once He leaves the body all kind of worshippers will jump up to create a mythological and medieval figure out of Him. And now I can understand how much Osho´s closest Western disciples begin to feel paranoid with the emergence in India of such a kind of “Nepali Osho”.

May it receive the criticism it deserves.

    You sound like a fifties conservative British Christian.
    Who could imagine fifty years after Osho began this radical experiment,
    a character who sees himself as the ultimate expression of Osho sannyas would carry on like a fundamentalist Christian about him?

    Put your energy into sorting out your mother problems.
    Do gibberish.
    Do Dynamic meditation, which you really need.

    (Shantam explores. Is that a euphemism for some distasteful practice he’s discovered?)

    I think Arpana is one such Osho Orphan.

    Once you take a leadership role in any endeavour, security becomes a must, because someone will definitely be around, who feels pissed off, who is just waiting with his pistol to assassinate you.
    In the emotionally charged atmosphere of religions, it is even more common.

      Religous types.

      I bet Jayesh and Amrito would agree with that!

    • Arpana says:

      ‘ leadership role.’

      LMAO

    • satyadeva says:

      “In the emotionally charged atmosphere of religions it (“assassination” – actual and metaphorical) is even more common.”

      Yes, Shantam, although in fact with few exceptions religion and politics, that old, unholy alliance of vested interests, have been inseparable in such matters.

      Now, with sannyasins at each other’s throats, we seem to be witnessing a similar scenario, despite an existential ‘religiousness’ supposedly having superceded adherence to ‘religion’, according to Osho’s sannyasin credo.

      How ironically fitting that a search perhaps fundamentally largely originating from a fear of death should so easily degenerate into a scenario where individuals and opposing factions hate each other with near-murderous intensity, as if their very lives depend on it. Great ‘religiousness’, eh?!

      But that’s what we’re all up against, isn’t it, that sort of stuff, in all its various guises? I mean, what else prevents us finding “the peace that passeth all understanding”?

      • Arpana says:

        Maybe this is healthier.
        We give it back, rather than
        pass it on to an innocent party?!

        • satyadeva says:

          Maybe so, Arpana, as long as we’re prepared to take the consequences.

          Perhaps ideal though, but much harder, is to stop and see exactly where and how we feel so deeply outraged, threatened, hurt to the extent we would like to kill, or whatever. You know, make it a meditation and all that…Lovely, great fun on a weekend!

          • Arpana says:

            ‘ as long as we’re prepared to take the consequences.’

            I agree with this, but in a sense its academic.
            Always consequences. Like it or not.
            Inescapable.

            All actions and inaction’s have consequences.

            Can see myself frozen to the spot outside my flat, late one evening (Would have been about ’85, was wearing our insignia.) as I realised this. I amuse I must have realised, but not articulated the fact to myself until then. Very liberating.

  4. ma dhyan shunya says:

    Osho spoke on hundreds of Masters and Indian spiritual enlightened beings like Buddha, Mahavir, GuruNanak, Krishna, Kabir, Meera, Raidas, Patanjali, Meher Baba, Ramana Maharishi, Shiva and more.
    It was part of his vast vision and message and talks.
    There is really no issue that i can see here, as it only makes him more colourful and multidimensional, instead of only the Zen that the Resort enforce.
    I really do not understand why such a fuss over this photo ??
    Swami Arun in Nepal is doing whatever is possible as an independent sannyasins and your criticism is without any justification.
    Live and Let Live.
    As Arun Swami is free to express his love for Osho, you are also free to express your love for Osho in your own way. Who is stopping you, Shantam, from making your own Osho centre ?

    • bodhisagar says:

      This Image is not made by Arun, it is made by center called Oshodhara, run by some relatives of Osho. I think you are bit too harsh with your judgement, the Oshodhara people are seriously grossly misrepresenting Osho, they call themselves as sadguru trivir
      they are three of them, and they have in literal sense made a hindu guy out of osho, by editing the photographs their dressing etc. From that website you don’t get those same frequencies but really ostentatious feeling like that from a Ganpati mandal in Pune. There is nothing holy they are doing this just start of taking Osho’s work to really mediocre level.
      BTW I am an Indian and and I kind of agree with the post.

  5. ma dhyan shunya says:

    Shantam is suffering from some deep inferiority complex and trying to be superior to Indians.
    When Osho can speak about all these Indian Masters then why is Shantam feeling so upset ?? Everyone wants to make their Master superior and feel superior by distancing themselves from other Masters.
    I sent this photo to friends who say : Why is Osho made to look special over other Masters ?? Each to their own opinion.
    And Shantam, the photos also show Lao Tzu, Gurdjieff and Jesus. Please look carefully before you call it Hinduism.
    Is Patanjali or Shiva or Buddha Hinduism ??
    Why not accept all Awakened Ones, and become humble?

    I have met hundreds of Osho sannyasins who all feel above the rest of humanity. Such egos, they think they know everything, and that Osho is the greatest Master. Humility is graceful and the sign of a real seeker of Truth.

    • bodhisagar says:

      Seriously!!! You are accusing a sannyasin of inferiority complex!
      I really feel ashamed of Indians like you who post so irresponsibly, giving out an opinion w/o second thought. Shantam is not feeling upset about the inclusion of all the masters, read the post and get his point. Visit this site oshodhara.org.in, see the gallery, videos and tell me if you don’t feel the nausea.

      • satyadeva says:

        Bodhisagar, why so surprised at the suggestion that a sannyasin has “an inferiority complex”?

        Many sannyasins, including me, have been – and might still be – some of the most ‘disturbed’ people I’ve come across.

        Your standpoint reminds me of an incident in the mid-80′s when a well-known English sannyasin female therapist and general ‘vip’ at the time simply couldn’t understand how my partner could be feeling as utterly ‘lost’ and confused as she certainly was for a while back then, merely more or less urging her to ‘snap out of it’ with the immortal phrase, “But you’re a sannyasin!”

        I trust your surprise doesn’t indicate a ‘superiority complex’ hidden away in there…

        But to be honest, that wouldn’t be ‘news’, as it also often enough seems to go with the territory!

        • bodhisagar says:

          Yes, I agree with you, but what I meant by not having a complex was about what she is hinting at,i.e. one with a racial bias. I have visited communes in India, Nepal, UK and Europe and atleast I haven’t came across anybody with a racial complex. I agree that there is a inferiority complex in everybody regarding one thing or the other, and thats why we want to get over our ‘mind’.

    This would make a great app for the indian dumbphone.
    Press the relevant saint for your guru du jour.
    It could flash with inspiring quotes and sit on the dashboard of indian taxis to attract punters as they scavenge en masse at the relevant cashrams.

    We all see the Grand Wizard through cultural filters.
    For the average Bharatian he is worshipped as an ascended Master/Avatar/Saint/Superdaddy.
    For the deutsches seele he is the epitome of self sacrificing work ethic and will to power. For the unemployed Britheart foreigner-in-his-own-country, a chance to take the piss and sink his sorrows at his nearest (as yet) unclosed boozer.
    For east europeans emerging from their bunkers, an ecstatic recycling of 1960s naivetee .
    Then there are the individual variants…
    Shantam sees a multi-breasted caucasian goddess behind … well everything. In a shopping basket at the Schwarz Lebensmittel-Sortimentsgroßhandlung (aka Lidl) or at Aldi for oldies.
    Hope springs eternal.

  7. Lokesh says:

    For a guru who preached a non-serious attitude to life it is surely remarkable how seriously some of his disciples and devotees manage to take such mundane matters. It is, after all, a joke.
    Nobody can say for sure that Osho was in fact enlightened. If you take Paramahansa’s criteria for what classifies someone as being enlightened Osho does not tick many of those little boxes, that for all we know are constructed from ticky-tacky. Tacky is how I would describe the above photo.

    • dominic says:

      “Nobody can say for sure that Osho was in fact enlightened”
      It’s a lose-lose situation. Those who speak don’t know, those who know don’t speak.
      Cries of buffoon, charlatan and fraud are hurled by all and sundry and that’s just the gurus amongst themselves.
      No objective way of assessing a pass at enlightenment graduate school.
      At a more refined nondual level anybody claiming enlightenment or saying someone else is, is met with guffaws of laughter and advised to go and have a good lie down.

    • honeysucklerose says:

      well its about time, couldn’t post until now… Lokesh is too kind when he says that only “some” sannyasins are too serious, more like most sannyasins are… goes back to at least the ranch days, the ranch wouldn’t have imploded if cool, happy and playful people ran and resided there…. i was lucky, towards the later part of my stay, i ended up on a crew that was more like a college fraternity, great bunch of swamis and ma’s, playful, fun, bunch of pranksters, best bunch of oshoites i ever knew.. too bad we couldn’t send some of that vibe to Pune 2 maybe those rich, uptight big shots running things and their supporters could have used a good dose of fun and play…. when the cat’s away, the mice will… get seriously diseased.

      • frank says:

        talking far-out therapies….I had a future-life progression therapy session,yesterday
        it was amazing
        under hypnosis,i travelled forward in time to 2171.
        my memory of the future was of getting out of an electric rickshaw(which was hypothecated to the state bank of osho).the driver told me all about himself.he was an oshi`ite,he hated sunnyasins,thought they were all “sisterfuckers”and proudly showed me his vibhuti-stained wind-screen picture of the Samadhi(now located in ayodhya)As he lit some incense he mumbled his mantra: `shri ram jai ram jai jai osho,yahoo` in reverend tones.
        i couldn’t help noticing the little doll of a bald man hanging from his rear view mirror, whose turban lit up every time we went over a bump and spoke the words “i leave you my dream.i leave you my dream”
        he dropped me off at a chaishop where the first thing I noticed on the wall was a large calendar with a picture of a blue-skinned picture of osho sitting cross-legged in a rolls royce in a marble hall, with Om signs emanating from his folded hands.
        the calendar was sponsored by `osho aggregates and pharmaceuticals corp. pvt co ltd.`
        “hari om,yahoo.jai osho”the maroon clad chai shop owner greeted me.
        he had a kalashnikof phaser slung over his shoulder and as he put the kettle on,we could hear the rumble of phaser-fire from the nearby raging battle…
        the chai-shop owner turned to me,clutched his mala
        and said:
        “I am ready to die for osho`s vision…..
        is there anything more worthy to die for than the truth?”

        at that moment,i came out of my trance and back to the present in a cold sweat…….

        • Lokesh says:

          Whew eeh! That is deep. Glad you returned from the future in one piece, Frank, and have now recovered from your ordeal. Makes me want to live more in the moment. Thanks for the inspiration.

      • dominic says:

        I’d have to disagree with that Hsr. On the whole as a wild generalisation, I’d say ‘orange juice’ was pretty playful as compared to any other “spiritual group” or bunch of people. Sannyas helped loosened people up, which was part of the draw. Sanyassins on the ranch were being terrorised and overburdened one way or the other so it’s not surprising they were less ‘cool’. It’s like blaming the victim. By Pune 2 do you mean pune 3 which sucks? I thought pune 2 had a lot going for it, rebranded and reloaded.
        I think Osho took himself way too seriously and his need for control and worship like most gurus, perhaps others have followed suit.

        • Lokesh says:

          Yes, I see what you are driving at, Dom, but now we know what Poona 25 looks like, thanks to Frank, I’m sure you will agree it all looks different now. Afterall, who would have guessed they would have free chuddy dispensers in the future and all due to Sri Shantypants inspired vision and battle to rid the world of Poona’s axis of evil?

          • dominic says:

            Yes what a take down that was by shantypants, the warrior spirit in his dna came through at the final hour.
            Amazing what a khaki uniform, a red turban, a stick and a pot belly will accomplish in India. It was a clever ploy to leave a bottle of whiskey by the ashram gate to smoke the buggers out.

  8. dominic says:

    I want one. I think it would make a great dart board for my local slug and lettucepray pub, formerly a house of god. Also printed onto mugs (the tea carrying variety), tea towels, bedspreads, undies and a range of osho biscuits. What about incorporated into a dj’s get-your-freek on allnite psytrance laser show? Drop some loony toons and watch the display go round and round, while the faces jump out at you with a wink and smile. Get their blessings and be invited into the inner circle alongside them.
    Seems to me they’re all cut from the same fairly loose cloth though Batwings has always had waaay more material in his closet.

  9. shantam prem says:

    “My master has a super store. It has more inventory than Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and Wal-Mart put together.”, One Indian was heard saying in Vancouver, Canada, when he went for a job interview.
    “Then why don’t you work for your master?”, enquired the store manager.
    ” I would have loved too. Problem is, store´s turn over has been drastically reduced because of the competition from corner shops.” answered the proud interviewee.

    • dominic says:

      All big stores and corner shops run by same big happy (check your receipt) family…Messrs Singh, Patel, Shah, Gupta etc. The discerning cognoscenti are now buying local organic range from Advaitrose (Waitrose) or just growing their own.

  10. satyadeva says:

    Ah, Shunya, haven’t you heard, the universe ‘out there’ is a projection of the one within, an ‘energetic mirror’ of the psyche? As without, so within, and vice versa…
    Hard for we intellectual materialists to fathom, perhaps, but when it’s explained by someone with ‘in-sight’ it seems credible enough.

    And I wonder what Space itself represents….

    Forget newspaper columns and other mediocrities, a good astrologer, armed with time and place of birth, can offer a picture of one’s inner world – strengths, weaknesses, areas of conflict, tendencies, potentials etc. – and provide valuable insight, a few keys to self-understanding, helping expand a certain level of self-awareness. But he/she has to be good, preferably better than good, not run-of-the-mill.

    I still have a tape of a 90 minutes reading I had in 1984 from the eminent astrologer, Liz Greene, a remarkable occasion indeed, including a razor-sharp, eye-opening portrait of my parents, without any information other than my birth-chart.

    Thus I find your attempt at exposing flaws in Shantam’s case against the ‘dead Masters’ picture is itself flawed; flawed through ignorance of what real astrology is about.

    And by the way, some astrologers (or many, or even all of them, for all I know) might well be “egoistic”, but if so, they surely don’t represent an isolated case among other useful helpers of humanity or indeed among any type of’experts’, do they?

  11. shantam prem says:

    satyadeva,
    Thanks for mentioning Liz Greene in this thread.
    Her books I am still reading. Every time there is new meaning in the descriptions about astrology and human psychology.
    In one of her book, ” Neptune and the quest for redemption”
    she has done Osho´s chart in a clear and lucid manner, while describing the fourth house.
    Fourth house, the nadir of the chart sheds the light over person´s attitude towards family life. When someone has Neptune in the 4th house, interest is to transcend the blood relating bonding and create one´s family based on common religious values.
    People who created monasteries and Osho´s idea of commune is based on Neptune in the 4th house assumption.
    Surely such idea is illusory as well as romantic. It has its own slippery side, specially when people who have no such constellation also endorse such life style or do it out of social environment.
    And as I can see, many people joined the commune because Osho was saying it rather than out of their own inner need.

  12. ma dhyan shunya says:

    (ED: APOLOGIES FOR SOME CONFUSION HERE. THIS POST FROM SHUNYA SHOULD BE READ BEFORE THE TWO IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING POSTS (FROM SD AND SHANTAM), WHICH WERE RESPONSES TO AN EARLIER POST OF SHUNYA RE ASTROLOGY THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DEEMED TO BE OFF-TOPIC).

    There is a direct link to this topic in my following comments about astrology.
    Seeing the above Photo of Osho with many Masters surrounding around him the question of blind believers also comes up.

    As Shantam asked for criticism as it deserves, I found Shantam page of Astrology and birth charts for sale.

    How about this question ??
    What is the difference between believe in Astrology and Birth Charts
    Or the belief in Masters who are no more in the physical body ?

    If Stars influence and direct our human lives, then do Masters astral bodies also direct and affect our lives.
    I can understand Masters have some influence, but Stars ?
    Just fantasy of humans who believing that Stars and Planets Birth Charts effect human lives. That humans are so important that Stars and planets take note.

    Remember Jesus birth ? The shiny star that lead 3 wise men to Jesus manger ??

  13. shantam prem says:

    Question can arise why this particular photo has pushed Shantam´s buttons, therefore he wrote such hard worded introduction.

    Because this kind of photo is nothing new. It is as old a trick as handkerchief and a hat or a rope trick used by the amateur magicians.
    All kind of Indian gurus most of them charlatans will give the impression through their poster departments that our guru has merged into the Ocean and therefore all the past rivers merged into that Ocean have become the part of the new.
    I close my eyes and can still see even today similar kind of posters, where present day guru is in the middle and rays of other historic people is falling on that person. Few people are even using Osho in the same way with other departed souls.
    During Pune One, Osho has also spoken such things when He was shifting gears from Acharya to Bhagwan Shree.
    I can still remember the echo of those historic discourses when gears was being shifted again; from dirty word Bhagwan to Osho.
    Osho spoke so fondly, how he was using the religious symbols and words etc. to get his people.
    He and His work, therefore depart the ways from the past clearly and categorically.

    I can understand too, how over zealous Nepali sannyasins under the inspiring leadership of Arun ji are creating their own magic moments, recreating a certain kind of 1975 phase with Orange and Mala and high dose of messiah hood.
    A country with one of the lowest human development index level requires all kind of methods to improve the confidence level of his people. As I see from the photos, Nepali sannyasins are beaming with such confidence.

    As a man who got the opportunity and chance to spend his formative years in the ashram during the final phase, my interest is what Osho, yes only and Only wished about the future of His work and not what others are doing it through their own personal interpretations.
    If the above photo is only for the consumption for Nepali folks I have no objection, in the world of intelligence and intellect, such photos create repulsive feelings rather than inviting vibes.

  14. shantam prem says:

    PS- I don’t want to give this impression that Nepali people are not Intelligent or intellectuals. As a collective they fit more in the heart category, warm hearted and brave.
    it is pity, I never had a Nepali wife/girl friend. I think they are close knitted family type people. In my eyes, Nepali women are more beautiful than the chicks from East Europe, may be for the reason, they are not chicks but faithful and devoted types.

  15. dominic says:

    From the Autobiography of a Halfbaked Indian Astrologer…
    “Leaving my autumnal years for a winter of discontent, I realized my fourth house was retrograde and my orbs in disarray. I had to face up to some hard aspects on the ascendant in midheaven on the cusp of uranus.
    Here I was masterless, ashramless and with only bollywood dreams of a faithful and devoted wife to keep me company. I seemed to be falling over the glyphs…”

    • frank says:

      to quote van Morrison.
      “no guru, no method, no teacher, no money, no chance
      just me in the garden,in my chuddies,wet with rain….”

    • dominic says:

      The story continues…
      “and as I tripped and fell on my asteroids and quadrants, I saw stars. The finger of God linking them together in a new zodiac sign formation, that I chuddienicus was discovering for the first time….the vision of a Nipplease woman spread over the heavens.
      And as it made a perfect transit over my prime vertical, I briefly exploded with joy, as the vision faded receeding back into the milky way…”

  16. shantam prem says:

    Ma dhyan Shunya,
    You seems to be an interesting person and surely Osho has refined you, high and healthy self esteem is pouring out from your words(does not necessarily means wisdom).

    Like all the people, I find interesting but don´t know who they are, I try to use Google to find a bit of them. Seems like, this is your first effort in life to write something on public platform, as other than sannyasnews, there is no mention anywhere of any person named similar like yours, not even on facebook.

    For the sake of our Master´s work, which we are also part of by churning the thought process; would you share some biological note about you and also a snap?

    • satyadeva says:

      “biological note”? Haha, typical Shantam, always good for a good old Freudian slip, eh?!

      You surely mean ‘biographical’ (I most sincerely hope)?

      Still, as it’s you though, I’m not too sure….

    • Lokesh says:

      Ah, Detective Shantypants resurfaces. He is such a charmer. He could charm the chuddies off a water buffalo.

    • ma dhyan shunya says:

      Out of courtesy for Shantam,
      My birth date : 18.01.1987
      Time of Birth 10.25 am
      Place of Birth : Shimla India
      Now you can make my Astrology and Birth chart and find me.
      Clue 1 : Removed my Facebook profile as feel is impersonal and tiring, with too many Osho sannyasins chasing me.
      Clue 2 : I received Sannyas from Swami Rajneesh in India.
      Now may the Stars guide you to find me.

      • satyadeva says:

        Possible problem here:

        Is Shantam a good enough astrologer? He sounds like a student/beginner to me.

        If you’re really interested, Shunya, find a decent one with a good reputation. There are a few in India and plenty elsewhere. Not sure if Liz Greene is still working (or even alive), but you can surely locate someone online.

        Tell you what: I’ll ask a friend of mine, English, to see what he can do – if that’s ok with you?

      • Lokesh says:

        Ma Dhyan Shunya, last seen being chased by a Klingon Ship in the vicinity of a black hole.

    Satyadeva, thanks for figuring out with your penetrating eyes; my Freudian slip!

  18. bodhisagar says:

    Last thing I want to see in India is they will have a Osho festival, where there will be a huge idol of Osho, everywhere on street and ridiculously loud music playing around. people dancing around the idol on bollywood music and everyone offering food in-front of Osho which will be later offered to the street cows squatting around.
    The photo is just the beginning.

  19. shantam prem says:

    Satyadeva, the good Samaritan,
    Before you ask your friend to do the astrology of Ma Dhyan Shunya,
    first use your brain to enquire whether She is a woman or a man pretending to be a woman.
    I am 99.99% sure, she is not of the same sex as father Meer!

    I was hinted by my sources and then rectified it.

    And secondly, no Indian woman and that a Ma cannot write in such assertive and aggressive tone, even if she tries to pee standing.

    PS- Swami Rajneesh can tell to this guy to come out clean. Because my elder brother Rajneesh stands for honesty and transparency.

    • satyadeva says:

      Well, Inspector, I have simple solution for extraordinarily “complex”, “biological” after all, case:

      My friend will do preliminary work then carry out personal consultation online, at Skype, with full camera facility.

      Then we’ll see if bloody bounder hiding behind false identity and expose blighter!

      If indeed case, miscreant should never be permitted to wear orange again, correct?

    • Lokesh says:

      ‘Rajneesh stands for honesty and transparency.’ Ah, Dear Inspector Shantypants, ever the joker and master of irony. His insights penetrate to the innermost core of being.

  20. dominic says:

    Yes it’s all very impressive what Shantam’s, from the bottom up, chuddiest movement has been able to achieve. The exes of evil long gone, I too was able to visit the future via Frank’s therapissed and report back.
    As he says outside the Ashram gates it’s all dystopian madmax science friction, but inside Osho’s dream is alive.
    Oshobots cloned from his dna run the ashram and all the groups, and the multiversity has become multidimensional and multigalactic.
    Tantra groups with the multi-breasted females from EZ Aquarius are out of this world, for example. And none are better able to offer a relevant osho quote than a tripleheaded betelgeuse-is-outian.
    Wearing the latest Google glasses I can walk around the commune nostalgically reliving Poona 1&2 and having a good laugh at my younger self.
    Anyways I have to go now since I’ve booked a trip at the Osho masters neo-timetravel centre and we’re going to the holy land this afternoon to watch the crucifixion…..

  22. dominic says:

    Shantam takes a pop at a ‘nepali osho’ yet pines for a traditional faithful and devoted nepali wife, suggesting he would like to be worshipped as would any asian man.
    In the cages of caste, servitude, poverty, family, chaos, corruption and arranged marriages, which is 99% of India such comic book images (and the 33 billion gods of the hindu pantheon) provide moments of illusory comfort that god doesn’t really hate them after all. And SP wants to take it away from them?

    Osho was always “mythological” in or out of the body, a carefully constructed pr image for media consumption and the faithful. Perhaps this is how indian devotees viewed him anyway.
    Now he’s gone we can more easily blame the monkeys for everything and not the organ grinder yet it was always an Autocrazy.
