		<description><![CDATA[Good idea - although he probably wouldn&#039;t want to admit he hated anyone (unless he could varnish it with a touch of righteous &#039;spin&#039;) as that wouldn&#039;t really sort of fit with his impeccably &#039;spiritual&#039; self-image. 

Still, if a &#039;religious authority&#039; (preferably south Asian, of course) told him that would be doing &#039;God&#039;s work&#039; then I guess he&#039;d simply have to agree...

As it is, he&#039;s clearly being advised by Swami R so he&#039;s well on the way already...

So, yes, Anubodh, that might well work, nice one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Add to that list of misguided actions: 

Various negative statements about his &#039;opponents&#039;, based on unfounded assumptions, ie absolute ignorance about the individuals concerned, that happen to suit his particular agenda.

About on the same general level as any irresponsible propagandist who chooses to use the respect for freedom of expression of &#039;liberal&#039; media while holding and disseminating beliefs and values essentially contrary to those of the very media he&#039;s using. All in the name of &#039;ultimate freedom&#039;, of course!

And what&#039;s worse, apparently absolutely unaware of how in his writings he&#039;s actually contradicting the very values he imagines he thinks he&#039;s &#039;crusading&#039; for!

Takes all sorts to start a phoney religion, I guess....

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, good spot, Anubodh, my sediments entirely. This guy Ekantam has all the characteristics of your typical, common-or-garden, everyday, conventional, card-carrying, neighbourhood fundamentalist religionist.

Quoting &quot;scriptures&quot; in thoroughly priestly fashion, condemning &#039;lapsed&#039;, er, &#039;believers&#039;, asserting spiritual and intellectual superiority, wishing to &#039;cleanse the &#039;movement&#039; of &#039;impurities&#039;...All classic traits of the type in question, which just happens to be one of the sorts of human being that Osho was most at pains to undermine. Oh, the irony - you really couldn&#039;t make it up!

But unfortunately, we&#039;d have to wait a very long time before this one wakes up to the game he&#039;s playing, as he&#039;s clearly been deeply conditioned to believe he&#039;s &#039;special&#039;, one of an &#039;elite&#039;, any critics therefore, by definition, being utterly misguided fools, heretics even.

Such is human stupidity, it just seems to go on and on, ad infinitum....]]></description>

I see you equating Osho&#039;s words with &#039;Scriptures&#039; and so completing the transformation

Well done Bodh, Osho would be very proud of you.

		<description><![CDATA[Swami Anubodh!
In india, 
Gita, Upanishads, Dhammapada, and all other scriptures
have not been copyrighted.
It is a laughable never heard of.
Priest never had copyrights over Scriptures.

Osho may have used the device of copyright in past,
so that the money raised is used at his command,
he used the money at his command to spread his work.

Now  Osho is not in body,
now the copyright is at the command of Priest Jayesh,
the money raised is now for profiteering of Resort business of Jayesh,
the copyright is a device in the hands of Jayesh,
to interfere with Osho&#039;s work through his other disciples!

This copyright device is like a knife,
Osho used that to chop vegetables and make curry for his disciples,
Jayesh is using that to chop off the disciples and make curry for himself!

Can you see the irony Swami Anubodh?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bodh Ekantam says:
&lt;i&gt;
&quot;So Mystics of east,
none of them have claimed the authorship and property rights of their creation,
it would be foolish for them to lay claim over the creations of existence,
none of the mystics have been foolish,
Osho too was not such a fool.&quot;
&lt;/i&gt;
That&#039;s interesting. Are these your words Bodh?

Because if they are - then according to you - Osho is a fool:

http://i.imgur.com/H9C3qDV.jpg

The inside cover of &quot;I am the gate&quot; clearly shows &#039;Copyright 1975&#039;

In fact all the books and tapes I have from the 70&#039;s have a Copyright notice.

How can you explain this Bodh Ekantam?

Was this &#039;Copyrighting&#039; being done without Osho&#039;s knowledge?

You will not find such notice&#039;s on your PDF downloads - because they have been removed.

The fact is Bodh, Osho was well aware of his words being copyrighted.

He always wanted me to see the world the way it was. And not how I would like it to be.
This can be a painful experience. (An experience many are seeking to avoid these days)

But if you choose to live in a dream where the past is not allowed to
encroach into your fantasy about Osho.

Then you are free to do so.

Enjoy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is really difficult for the westerners,
to differentiate between writers and mystics,
because there have been so few mystics in west.

writers believe they are the owners of their creation,
so they believe in copy right and treat their creation as private property.

Mystics on the other hand become hollow bamboos,
their creation whatever it is,
to them it is existence responding to the disciples,
Mystics do not take their creation as their own property,
to be willed to their fevourite ones.

So Mystics of east, 
none of them have claimed the authorship and property rights of their creation,
it would be foolish for them to lay claim over the creations of existence,
none of the mystics have been foolish,
Osho too was not such a fool.

But to expect Jayesh, Amrito, Anando, and intellectually blind ex osho disciples of SN,
that they will treat Osho as a mystic and not just a writer,
is asking for impossible.

If ever Osho signed a will,
that was either a joke or zen stick,
it means that whoever is beneficiary of that will,
is an idiot third class disciple,
who is interested in the mud of power and wealth,
actually it is a certification of Osho 
that Jayesh, Amrito, Anando are third grade disciples.

I remember Osho saying somewhere,
that first class disciples they are interested,
in dissolving into the presence of Master,
they get so much dissolved,
that one day they are disappeared,
and invisible inner vast godliness/truth of Master is left in them,
that is the flame of invisible inner vast godlinss/truth,
jumps from Master to the first class disciple,
thereupon even when Master has left his body,
his flame remains available in his first class disciple,
the first class disciple become Master.

The third class disciple
remains interested in power and wealth,
and will
and if there is no will
forging a will
and guidance,
and banning
all sorts of monkey business.]]></description>
