I was at the ranch… worked in the tire bay with Shreyas, RBG, Pipe crew.
That was a long time ago. I was young… 19 when I got there, 21 when I left.
the whole experience was beautiful, if not sometimes dificult. Being young, I had a lot to learn about life in general… what a beautiful place to do it. So many beautiful people to help, and the buddha field. Before Oso, I was very troubled.
the people, the Sangha most likely saved me…. it certainly taught me how to
live, thrive, overcome adversity, how do they say it today ” maximize my potential”. I used to speak to Sheela, an vidya… Su.. Mukta….. I was young
and had questions… and was very open…. never did I ask a true question without getting a righteous response…. maybe it was just me…. maybe it was just the moment. I never blamed sheela or anybody, for anything. just understood it as it was. Always understanding that OSHO was not stupid
and that the whole game was just there to be played. I could write a book
on the experience but it would hardly scratch the surface even if it were
1000 pages. The energy is not gone…. never will be. We make a choice.
you are open… then it is there. simple. I have had very little conact with sannyas since those days…. the boat carried me across the river…
Much love to all, Much love to those who made the commune, I am forever gratefull that our paths crossed .

Very interesting forum … thanks for Osho’s words regarding the Sheela affair …

My impersonal take on the reasoning why Osho chose Sheela was that he wanted to see what would happen as an experiment. i’m sure many of his “followers” were always sleeping always waiting for him to make a move. he wanted to see what they could create.

in actuality, sheela had a lot of initiative and took control, but everyone else took a passive, unaware role. of course, unfortunately, i don’t think osho realized the extent to which sheela could abuse herself and others. however, the episode, however extreme, provided an excellent opportunity to bring awareness and possibly awaken a whole lot of people from their dependence on Osho and on belief systems in general. unfortunately, as with any genuine effort, much thought is wasted in essentially gossip-type information gathering instead of understanding the essence. However, I do not believe osho was trying to spin the situation into a “positive” one.

just my 2 cents … please disregard if it’s not meaningful …

Be still!
Sheela was sick by the same unconscious tha we the male has done over the female in order to contoll them(femenine!)we have created sickness ,and it be better if we coulod accept that ours have unconscious and make space for a better futre with ken that have come to help Us from the pot hole!
Please be forgiving to our selves as male and accept that qwe´ve done to ourselves and to the femanin and that has been part of our male psychi!
We are unconscious and the outcome of our actions are just what they´re and then we go on blaming!Osho only did the blame of Sheila as a provocation but He knew otherwise!
Amen!
Love all femenin as mother daughter,lover friend and teacher,

Search Facebook with search term “Osho” to find the half-dozen or more other Osho sites.

Thanks for posting everyone. I enjoyed it very much.

In some posters said that on Facebook there were positive news about sannyas, anyone can tell me how to connect to them?

Thank you very much,

Hi Dilruba,
Just saw your posts above and got the opportunity to see History from Sheela’s eyes.

It seems every history has many corners many versions and poor truth has many Uncles and Aunts but no Mama and Papa.
May be that is why in every spiritual teachings, Truth is being lived by God/Parmatma/existance.

Those who have no one is being loved by God.
remeber the song in Hindi, ” Jiska koi nahi uska to khuda hain yaro, main nahi kehta kitabon main likha hain yaron.”
