I trust your word and several other friends who have been to ibiza about the parties, i ‘ve heard about the raves since about ’86, say , which reminds me, do/did you know a french ma from back in the late ’80′s(don’t know if she’s still there), he name was/is Unmani… she used to be a model, what a dish!! though a little nutty, she was very superstitious, had this obsession with vampires… anyway, she moved there after living in n.y.c. for a couple of years…. Every sannyas party i’ve been to, here in the states-ranch included have been a gas!! Most of them were even drug free… show’s the world what a person can do when they let lose from the head and just be!! I’ll probably buy your book, don’t know when… Amazon is a great place to sell as well as buy. good prices . any autographed copies available? your book may be worth something to the next gen- sannyas crowd, that is if the sect that has the Shantam clones flakes off like a tied off hemorrhoid. see ya

Bubbie, Saturday night’s get together at our place was a success.
About twenty good friends joined together in our singing group. We do gospel, blues etc. I used to play in a blues band and last night did pretty well on my blues harp to the Stones’ ‘You gotta move’. Real stirring stuff.
By midnight we had my industrial sound system well cranked. Highlight was Chaka Demus & Pliars remake of ‘Twist and Shout’. Everyone was screaming their heads off and getting down and dirty. People from Ibiza know how to party.
I was just thinking that you would probably enjoy my books. My latest is beginning to generate interest and positive reviews. I don’t need to plug my book to you for financial reasons, just think you would dig it on a number of levels.
Here is a link in case you are interested.

So westerners are collectively immoral but individually may be moral and indians are collectively moral but may be individually immoral? I refer you to my post at January 9, 2011 at 1:40 am.

Shantam, you are a racist and a collectivist and that is very despicable.

White sannyasins need to be psychoanalysied in their collective being.and it will definately help them more than the highly paid group leaders, who are also from the same breed.
The issue is whitemen´s collective tendency to protect their mind set at any cost. i will not hesitate to accept that Individually they are much much more ethical moral and honest compared to the same level of individual Indians.

For example, other than Abhay, i have never heard any western sannyasins raising the question marks on the managers at resort.
Though it is all together another fact, most of the writers here had whithered away during Pune one or Oregaon phase.
And yet such an arrogant typical wstern trait, they left the movie in the middle yet are not willing to accept that story line took a dramatic turn during Osho´s last years.

This is a piece I wrote on my blog philosophya1.blogspot.com titled:

On India and China, why I think India will ultimately surpass China.

I think that India will ultimately surpass China if radical changes do not take place in China’s political system. My reason is that in India there is political freedom, that means individul rights and freedom of speech which are absolutely required for innovation to take place. Indians have greatly benefited from the freedom which exists in India and that is why such a genius like Osho could exist in India and not in China, freedom is the reason. India’s superior political system along with the cultural innovation that has taken place in India, primarily Osho, are going to lead in my opinion ultimately to India surpassing China. Capitalism is inconsistent with China’s political system but is consistent with India’s political system. China is a bubble that is going to burst for the reasons stated above.

Lokesh, please try to use your logical cells from the other prospective.
What is the psychological need for those three men who are hiding behind the fake identities of bubbie, martyn and Frank.
When you, Satya deva, shahriar, chetna etc. are the way they are, than why some ripe old wise men with 25 years of sannyas behind will use such cheap gimmicks.
Do you remember the old days, when neighbour kids will simply ring the bell and run away or will take the air out from the girl´s bicycles..
Are these gentlemen are living their born again experinces…
