KAMASUTRA LESSONS:

1. Kamasutra says: If you suck one nipple, the women herself offers the other one. And that was the origin of “buy one get one free”!

2. Did you ever notice: everything on a woman’s upper body starts with a ‘B’: Blouse, Bra, Bikini, Boobs & lower body with a ‘P’: Petticoat, panties, pussy…No wonder men suffer from high BP!

3. Before sex, you help each other get naked. After sex, you dress only yourself. Moral: In life no one helps you once you’re fucked.

4. Success is like pregnancy. Everybody congratulates you but nobody knows how many times you got fucked to achieve it.

5. What is the difference between frustration and satisfaction? What the Fuck! And What a Fuck!

6. 3 people having sex is a threesome, 2 is a twosome. So next time someone calls you ‘HANDSOME’, don’t take it as a compliment!

7. Life is like a dick, sometimes it becomes hard for no reason.

8. Practical thought: A husband is supposed to make his wife’s panties wet, not her eyes. A wife is supposed to make her husband’s dick hard, not his life!

Now that I’ve educated you, go ahead and educate someone else.

When a lady is pregnant, all her friends touch her stomach ad say “Congrats!”. But none of them come and touch the man’s Penis and say, “Well done!”.

Moral: Hard work is never appreciated – only result matters.

Unfortunately, yes. I don’t remember that I ever needed any cuddling and hugging. I say, unfortunately, yes. Perhaps I have missed something beautiful. Cuddling and hugging are needed by children because they feel so small, so fragile, so afraid of the big world around. I have never felt any fear, and I have had my sources of warmth within myself — as far back as I can remember.

–From Death to Deathlessness, chapter 5

I don’t know if Osho never hugged, maybe Nirvano? Perhaps in his case seeing that you are already One with everything, the need for hugging falls away!

Although Humaniversity hugging was in the context of an exercise, some of the ‘best’ hugs i had were there, possibly because the experience of pleasure and pain were lying so close to each other.

Yesterday-today – and maybe even foresights of tomorrows…in and outside Sannyas realms, the issue of the thread going on…

Was hooked, Lokesh, by your own words, “Cynical Scot that I am”, as then by the following:
“I met one Israeli woman a couple of years back. She is a bit of a nut, an ugly duckling and a socially unsophisticated person, a tank. She has a good enough heart. Whenever I met her I made a point of giving her a wee hug, which was my way of saying, you’re all right.”

Yes, you have cynical sides and I am glad that those are only facets amongst many others too I have come to know about so far.

What is unfolding though, is the fact that in the exchange and melting energy by hugging in a deep way – besides having feelings of pleasure – there is the chance of meeting your own as well as the other’s deep, wounded sides too – and to embrace that (and also the consequences to this) needs courage.

Thank you, Lokesh, for your honest report, which brought up a lot of cellular ‘memories’ on my side here, and that is enriching anyway, if comfortable or not.

Otherwise, I have been also reminded that before I started off to India, to meet Osho and to be part of the Sangha, I was (like many many others here I knew) into the writings of W.Reich – and this guy has such a lot so valuable to say about hugging and what is EROS and what is not.

So, the delusion that I was entering ‘Paradise-Resort’ of fellow-travellers these former days had been very, very strong…

So –

the journey continues, doesn’t it?

Madhu

The answer to this depends upon your understanding of sannyas.

When Osho was eleven years old he sat regularly with Magga Baba, often in silence, just as we sat with Osho, often in silence. Osho visited Magga Baba daily for a while, just as we sat with Osho daily for a while.

Sannyas is a beginning and Osho’s journey began with Magga Baba under the neem tree. According to Bhed (2006), Magga Baba told Osho: “When you become void through meditation, you leave meditating and dedicate yourself to the welfare of mankind. Drench the whole world with love and kindness.”

============

“Magga Baba with his extraordinary presence and whole being had to be visited at least once a day, being a kind of spiritual nourishment as he triggered in [Osho] hitherto unknown forces, and their company seems to have been vitalizing. With no one has Osho ever laughed like with Magga Baba, who was to him unequalled with no one to be put beside him at his level of consciousness.”

I think you are right, when the hug is given in a formalized structure, it looses some quality.

No, I have never seen our master hugging. Why do you ask? Did he ever hug?

Growing up in India in a Hindu family it was very common to see a picture of Rama and Hanuman hugging, which symbolizes their friendship and deep association beyond friendship.

If some westerners say, you Indians are sexually suppressed, I will try to defend by counter-attacking.
Matter of the fact is, Indian conditioning creates a country of sexually suppressed.

I can understand, returning back to India was Osho´s last choice. I am sure, western management would have acted in a different way, if Osho had left His body somewhere in His ashram in the West.

In India, it is a matter of survival for them to cook chicken in a vegetarian way.

I have always been quite a tactile man and giving someone a hug comes easy to me. Recently I realised it is not always a good thing, because people at large occasionally misinterpret where you are coming from. Let me explain.

I met one Israeli woman a couple of years back. She is a bit of a nut, an ugly duckling and a socially unsophisticated person, a tank. She has a good enough heart. Whenever I met her I made a point of giving her a wee hug, which was my way of saying, you’re all right, I accept you for who you are. Couple of weeks back I ran into her at a small gathering and she got upset because I did not immediately give her a hug. It was ridiculous and left me feeling a bit weird. My wife pointed out that many people don’t understand the hugging thing that well. She is right. I’d given the woman the impression she was something special to me, when she is not. Lesson learnt.

Being able to touch a member of the opposite sex in a non-sexual way has always represented to me a sign of maturity. Hugging is good for you, that’s for sure.
