Dr Shyam Singha: ‘Come back to the centre’:

Boxes and malas. Hair and nail clippings, skulls and skeletons.

Dr. Shyam Singha was buried with his mala on. He was banned from the ashram in Pune One by Laxmi after he went a bit mad and made noise and laughed and danced for three days and nights with satori. Or was it enlightenment? Some people around him thought so later. And banned later for other issues, such as insisting to massage Osho’s feet and give him acupressure which he didn’t want, and not wearing the orange and mala , most of the time when outside of India.

Osho gave him a verbal Zen hit at Rajneeshpuram when Shyam was in London, said he was a quack, and he was refused when he offered Osho treatment for his poisoning, yet he still loved his Master.

And he returned to Pune in 2000 for the millennium celebrations.

“A historical time document”.
Abilash, could you please explain what that means exactly? The word ‘document’ usually refers to written information. Of course, there is nothing written on Osho’s nail and hair clippings except perhaps DNA. Perhaps you are planning on cloning Osho. If so, don’t waste your time. Many attempts have been made at creating Osho clones and they all failed miserably.

The Osho gift box was Laxmi’s idea. At the time, those carved boxes were viewed as significant. In retrospect, it was just another bit of fun, nonsense to get the fans excited, and forty years down the line it still works for fans like you.

Most people here were fortunate enough to have known Osho in his physical form, but I, unfortunately, did not. I am not searching for the Turin Shroud or Osho’s bones. The small box, lovingly crafted by sannyasins and adorned with an Osho artifact, carries a completely different message.

I do not expect miracles from it or believe that it will help me open the third eye upon opening. It is simply a historical time document from an era in which I was regrettably absent. Still looking forward to it:

According to the scholar Charles Boxer, the original tooth was “publicly pounded to smithereens with a mortar and pestle by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Goa”, as one of the results of the Church’s attempt to eradicate native religions, in approximately 1550.

I’ve visited the tooth temple in Kandy several times. Relics have always been a part and parcel of mass religions. As for the tooth in the temple in Kandy, it is over six inches long, meaning that the Lord Buddha must have had a very large head. How about the Shroud of Turin?

Buddha’s tooth relic is located in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The Tibetans are more secretive about their relics and have apparently hidden many things.

Perhaps you are one of the newly hatched. If no-one gives or sells you a box, if you want to find parts of Osho’s body, they are building a collection of some relics up in Osho Tapoban:

This wasn’t satire, SD, Bodh Ekantam is a real Indian sannyasin who was writing here. Frank started creating ‘Anand Yogi’ out of him for years, which has been put into Lokesh’s book.

I am one of the new sannyasins who would be very happy to receive one of the boxes, of course not for free. If you want to make me happy, I appreciate any feedback to: abilashtosho @gmail.com LOVE!
