Heeren,
I have met men who were ‘poor’, and actually very rich in consciousness.

Did Osho not talk about the need to erase poverty and that he wanted everyone to be wealthy and healthy and that only with a firm material foundation could people develop true spirituality?

Likening the effect on your life of whatever’s going on at the Pune ashram to being raped is nothing but an obscenely grandiose delusion, Shantam.

What next – ‘Shantam the oppressed Palestinian’? Or, ‘Shantam the Holocaust victim’?

My view is that you’re pretty damn fortunate to still be allowed space here for churning out such repetitious, increasingly pathological, self-serving rants.

Samarpan and Arpana can have a competition: Who choses the most unfitting quotation.

Because of so many rapes happening in India, many patriarchal minds are saying, “It is the girl´s fault.” If you are raped, it is your responsibility and nobody else’s. Don´t blame the western cinema and porn.

Samarpan, you can provide above-mentioned words to them.

“Then there are Marxists, Communists, Socialists: they say it is the social structure, the economic system, that makes people miserable. Then there are Freudians, psychoanalysts: they say it is the child and mother relationship. But it is always something else – it is never you. It is never you in the present.

And I would like to tell you: It is you. If you are miserable, you and only you are responsible. Neither the past nor the social structure nor the economic system – nothing is going to help.”

Modi says that plastic surgery was invented thousands of years ago in mighty Bharat.

He has a point, Ganesha does look a lot like a face-job gone badly wrong. A kind of Vedic Michael Jackson.

And Santa Claus is from Jullundur,
Hanuman was the original superhero,
Superman, Spiderman and Batman were all rip-offs…
For sure….

Yeah, Frank, Arun’s true colours are coming out now. First he flirts with Modi, who, according to Private Eye this week, told an audience of doctos and scientists in Mumbai that plastic surgery, genetic science and stem cell study existed in India thousands of years ago.

Modi is reported to have said that was how the Hindu God Ganesha’s elephant head was attached to a human body and how the warrior god Katikeya was born outside of his mother’s womb.

Next, Arun, with his best football jumper on, turns into a prosperity guru with that famous home-side stand chant: “We hate being poor and we hate being poor…ohhhh, we hate (etc.)…we are the poverty-haters!”

Really! You two old f**ts!

Agree with Frank. Let Mr Arun clean the place up and forget all about doing dynamic or Om’s.

If growth and development in China is anything to go by, we in the UK will be living like the Nepalese soon, whilst they will be lording it over us. Guess thats karma, eh?
