Thanks Lokesh… Do you have any suggestions about how I could improve my traction upon the readership of SN?… Have you some first hand experience in terms of promoting your views for what is happening in Osho’s Pune Ashram? And what do you feel needs to happen, if anything at all, in terms of protecting-preserving-promoting Osho work and legacy in his Pune Ashram?
Kind regards,
Viral

Viral you declare that, ‘We have done enough talking and talking and talking about shifting Pune3′ and then you continue to do just that. This might suggest that you are confused.

Dear Viral, as far as SN goes it would appear that almost nobody here is interested in your plans for change on the outside, which in turn might suggest that you are in fact wasting yor time here.

The long awaited “P4 Solution”

Dear Osho Lovers,

I hope you may find my point numbered essay on the “P4 solution” as described below interesting.

Perhaps some of the ideas expressed may be helpful in our combined efforts to save Osho’s Pune Ashram and Samadhi.

The “P4 solution” is a paradigm shift in that it does not require the current Pune3 OIF regime to fall before our work begins.

To date our solutions tend to focus on how first to terminate the current Pune3 OIF management team’s rule.

However this has proven very difficult as the Pune3 OIF resort management team have “dug-in” deeper and deeper despite all efforts, legal and moral, to have them exposed and evicted.

The “P4 solution” instead does not require the Pune3 OIF resort management team to cease their activities. This idea of providing some continuity, albeit reduced, for the “Pune3 OIF resort” operation to continue therefore holds some the merit.

Also by allowing the OIF to continue along their merry way at the moment they will have an opportunity to defend their past and present actions, motives and methods.

The P4 solution in a nut shell involves the immediate partition of resort (west side) and ashram ( East side) along the dividing line of Lane1 Koregoan Park.

The “OIF” operates their resort from the West side whilst the “OAF” operates from the East side to make an immediate start on the important job of reviving and running Osho’s Pune4 Ashram with loving kindness and celebration.

Therefore we now have a solution right now!

We no longer need to wait for the “OIF” to END before we the “OAF” to begin and our START our rebuilding Osho’s Ashram.

Best wishes and Jai Osho!!!!

Pune4 Partition Project Petition…

… or let’s say the “P4 solution” for easy reference

Now here are some important ideas that deserve healthy and spirited debate amongst Osho lovers scattered across the globe.

In essence the “P4 solution” offers a compromise position in that the current “Pune3 OIF resort” continues its work at a reduced level whilst simultaneously a new “Osho Pune4 Ashram” emerges in parallel.

There are a number of favourable compromises in the P4 solution that may allow immediate progress to be made:

1- there is no need for us to wait any longer for the long forecasted events such as “total dysfunction and total implosion” of the “Pune3 OIF resort” management team.

2- Osho Pune4 Ashram can open its welcoming doors RIGHT NOW to Osho lovers around the globe without having to wait for the “Pune3 OIF resort” to cease it’s operation.

3- This “P4 solution” accommodates a parallel or dual operation model which allows the current “Pune3 OIF resort” management to continue its experiment within a reduced geographical zone.

3- The central feature of the “P4 solution” is that Lane1 Koregoan Park becomes a partition line which divides the OIF’s international meditation resort from Osho’s new Pune4 Ashram.

4- The present “International Meditation Resort” will be restricted in its present and future functioning to the WEST side and the new Osho Pune4 Ashram will operate on the EAST side of Lane1.

4- Now come the calls for the reasoning behind why have the resort on the West and Ashram on the East?

5- This choice is quite simple given that Osho’s most sacred sites including his Samadhi space, Buddha hall and residence are all pooled together on the East side of the partition line of Lane1.

6- There will also flow from this “P4 solution” some healthy opportunities for “competition” and “comparison” on matters such as visitor numbers, entry price, mala sightings (lol), frequency of hugs, numbers banned per day (lol) etc, etc …

7- The incumbent Pune3 resort management team will have the meditation pyramid as their new headquarters (or Pharaohs tomb) and can continue along with their experiment to see where their resort experiment takes them.

8- The new Osho Pune4 Ashram management team, guided by Osho’s vision, can immediately get on with their job to “protect-promote-preserve” Osho’s enormous legacy for the current and future generations of Humanity.

9- If at all possible I would like to think that Zorba may be able to present aspects of this “P4 solution” to the High Court to see if there could be several immediate interim Judicial support for this proposal.

10- An interim High Court ruling could for instance include Orders such as the current Pune3 resort management team operating under OIF must totally, within 21 days, relocate to the West side of the Lane1 partition line.

11- An interim High Court ruling could also include Orders that the new formed OAF ( Osho Ashram Foundation) establish its operations on the East side of the Lane1 partition line effective immediately.

12- For decades, since Osho’s death in January 1990, there has been dissatisfaction and conflict amongst various factions of Osho’s devotees about the operation and management of his Pune legacy.

13- This “P4 solution” has great promise because it is a “parallel” approach rather than a “serial” approach. That is we don’t need the current Pune resort OIF management team to cease operation before beginning our important work which aims to “protect-preserve-promote” Osho’s Pune Ashram and his legacy.

14- Please, please, please can we have some lively discussion and debate amongst Osho lovers about this “P4 solution” proposal.

15- Of course there will be hard work ahead but what a relief to think we don’t need to wait for the complete fall of the current regime Pune3 OIF regime to end before starting our “OAF” work on the East side of the partition.

16- Yes our collective expressed thoughts to date about future management models, which have been guided by Osho’s expressed vision, will see the “OAF” steered by an inner circle of “21 Osho devotees”.

17- We have learnt from the present Pune3 OIF resort experiment some very important lessons about the consequences that flow from collusion, inaccessibility, secretiveness, covertness, narrowing and stagnation of power.

18- Therefore the OAF leadership team of 21 “sincere” Osho devotees must :

a) rotate regularly
b) be overt in operation
c) be open to criticism and compliments
d) publish each three months details of their ashram management performance inclusive of their mission statement, ashram goals, proposed methodology, successes, failures, expenses and future vision.

19- Sadly there is a group of people that seem deliberately destructive towards our efforts to protect Osho’s valuable legacy.

20- In many ways these narrow minded Osho “haters” or Osho “bashers” have thrived on seeing the infighting between the various factions of Osho lovers.

21- For the first time in a long time this “P4 solution” promises an opportunity for ALL Osho lovers to unite behind a relatively simple and time efficient way forward to ensure the survival of that very endangered species the “Osho sanyassin” and its vital habitat, the “Osho Pune Ashram”.

Finally may I end this essay to say that both the endangered species (Osho sanyassin) and endangered habitat (Osho Pune Ashram) have been squeezed to the point of near extinction since January 1990 and the time to act is NOW.

Quite a few posts here about what happened to the things that Osho said in his last months on the planet. Actually Vartan it is not such a long shot. It is certainly true that whatever he was saying was recorded, and planned for release.
Anando his Secretary at the time is about to publish her own book this year, Viha will have the details, and that may prove illuminating. She may even have the transcipts. She is said to have “left” the Inner Circle.
I wrote some years ago on Sannyas News:
“Finally a book that certainly has never seen the light of day is ‘The Philosia of Existence’ Osho’s so-called last book, which Osho dictated to Anando his Secretary in the last year of his life during meals. On this book, disciples do have a right I think to ask why they have not seen it, and have answer.” This still remains my opinion, as seems it is also the opinion of Viral!

Let’s have a party… We have done enough talking and talking and talking about shifting Pune3 forward and the birth of Pune4 …. Let’s change our communication medium from “talk to dance” for a day… March 21st 2014… A dance celebration for the gestation and birth Pune4″

Day32… Good morning, Osho lovers and a new celebration day begins… I am about to start my dynamic meditation but before I do let’s pick another of Osho’s favourites to focus the “celebration for change”…

Osho talked lovingly of another pioneer of Taoism, that next great Taoist pioneer after Lao Tzu…Yes, good old Chuang Tzu…

I love Chuang Tzu’s “butterfly dream” … This story involves Tzu dreaming he was a butterfly and with joy he fluttered in the freedom of flying … awakened by this joy he asked himself, “Am I Tzu dreaming I’m a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming I’m Tzu…?”

Taoism, according to Chuang Tzu, identifies the duality of all things but at the same time celebrates that transcendental truth that nothing is separate… The duality springs from unity… When you can live in the world of opposites (yin and yang) but stay connected with the underlying unity (Tao) you are truly alive!

Parmatha… Thanks for the encouraging words… It is always an unknown as to whether anyone is reading these missives… Yes I am finding that by sublimating my protest into action by way of a raw juice is more satisfying then just verbal ventilation …. There has also been collateral repair effects on my body which is loving the cleansing detox… Best wishes… Viral

Viral,
nice you keep posting here. It’s good when someone actually “does” something, rather than just writes or moans.
Just a few words of clarification:
Certainly Osho had all sorts of doubts about “democracy” as ordinarily understood.
He showed an abstract interest in things like “meritocracy” as better than democracy, but self-evidently did not use it within his own organisation !

You don’t think maybe the expectations of
all their detractors have played a part in
how things are?

You see a devils (Them) / Angels (Detractors)
issue at work.

“The real thing is that you are suffering from your expectations. When they are not fulfilled — and they
are never going to be fulfilled — frustration arises, failure arises, and you feel neglected, as if existence does
not care for you.
Drop expectations for the future. Remain open, remain available to whatsoever happens, but don’t plan
ahead. Don’t make any psychological, fixed ideas about the future — that things should be like this — and
much more suffering will disappear. These two are the root causes of suffering.”

Osho.
