I don’t think I’ve seen “The Big White”, Vartan. Are you talking about “Jaws”?
The one that I like is “The Dead Poets Society.”
There isn’t snow during the whole film, just during some of the winter scenes.

Yes Vartan, I have appealed for this pic before elsewhere.
It’s strange despite the power and sweep of the internet, like a pic of Osho’s dental chair, it does not seem available.
I am suprised tht Veena herself did not use it in her articles/books. Maybe it is a copyright thing, which I know she “obeys”.

Surprising comment, B Herren, for someone who recommends Veena’s book, as I always do, by the way. Also given your background, shows lack of the proper habits of study.
Veena mentions in her book the need for fake fur as Osho would be allergic to real fur.
She wrote to London, to Sugata, (Vibhuti’s sister), someone known to me, who sent her several samples of fake fur, and Veena then choose the one she thought best.
Veena used the National Geographic article or book to match the design, so I cant really understand why you say it is not Inuit. Maybe it was individual enough even within Inuit culture, to be particularly appealing to Osho.

SS, the Robin Williams snowy movie was called “The Big White”.

This is the pic Veena posted in “The Art of Dressing The Master”. According to her she had to import fake fur from England to make one for him. Does anyone have the one where he is looking at the camera?

Perhaps a little confusing is the fact that this cloak does not look very inuit at all. But as always the topic can get some of the usual anti-Osho statements going so the regulars around here can think they are very clever and imagine that SN is vital and alive

As I remember it Veena actually has some intelligent things to say about this. So read her valuable book(s) instead!

Well I think I know the centre that your’e on about Tan. I was a bit dissapointed when I visited the place, it was freezin cold for a start, and when it was dinner time I was kind of expecting a Shaman wearing some antlers or dressed up in a walrus costume to come out and do some drumming, or some cosmic chanting.

But nothing like that happened at all, these eskimo guys just came over with a chainsaw, drilled a hole in the ice, and chucked in some dynamite, boom! And the preceded to pull lots of dead fish out of the water.

And later, whilst sitting round a camp-fire, I was shocked when one of the eski-ladies asked me casually if I wanted to “come into her igloo for a quick rub of her nostrils.”

Shocking!

“Eskimo Joe” is an Australian alternative rock band that was formed in 1997 by Stuart MacLeod, on guitars, Joel Quartermain, on drums and guitar, and Kavyen Temperley.
Kavyen Temperley was a pupil at the Osho school in the UK called Ko Hsuan (before it closed!) , and whose orientations have been influenced by Osho.

Love the poster, SS. I am sure about the Osho Center somewhere with the Inuits and Osho talks about it in one of his books, maybe in the Q&A part. Now, I can’t remember which one. Cheers! X
