May the good lord shine a light on Sannyas..
as Dynamic till discourses inbetween therapy is not enough.
Divine intervention is required!

Anyone round here remember The Rolling Stones? Angels beating all their wings in time, With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes. Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you, Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now. May the good Lord shine a light on you, Make [...]

Osho is against nations…! But allows His sannyains to run His places as their private property specially those places which were built with joint cooperations! Alok you seems to be a level headed man. When Osho is against nations what alternatives He has suggested. After all world consist of seven billion people with various languages, [...]

Parmartha, I only did very elementary history at school. I never took O level. But I studied British Political History to degree level at Oxford. But I do not see how you can teach the subject without imposing some values, explicit or implicit. The Roman empire in Britain is usually taught as if it was [...]

No Mind has become a catchy pharse in the sannyas scene. When Osho speaks about No Mind or divinty it touches the deepest cords of heart, but including myself i have not found any sannyasin worthy to speak about such matters. These junkyards speak about such matters as a priest speaks about God, holy ghost [...]

Shantam, I can’t resist the temptation to copy and paste an Osho quote…he being a great mind and all that. Religion comes out of no-mind. Religion is not a talent, it is your nature. If you want to be a great painter, you have to be talented; if you want to be a great poet, [...]

Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.”

‘The remote control air dried wing mirrors that can see threatening affidavits from a mile off,’ Vince, that was pretty witty. More please.

Alok I got a “normal” history syllabus at an English grammar school in the fifties, much as you probably did. I dont regret a single hour spent in that classroom, the Roman Empire in Britain, the Black Death and how it was for ordinairy people in the Middle Ages in Britain, the whole Elizabethan saga, [...]

Satyam, the medical reports might have been indicative of radiation poisoning but the chant was ‘thallium’ and Osho did not actually have the symptoms of being exposed to this highly toxic element. Osho enjoyed reasonably good health for at least two years after leaving USA. Then suddenly it is this convoluted thallium conspiracy story that [...]

Parmartha, the judiciary is independent of the executive and sometimes gives decisions unwanted by the Government, both here and in the Us. Maybe the supreme court thought it was a waste of time as we were obviously not returning. As to history, in middle or old age, I like the subject. But I think it [...]

Just to give Osho a wee bit of backup…. History is now strictly organized, powerfully disciplined, but it possesses only a modest educational value and even less conscious social purpose. J. H. Plumb I think the whole assasination story is a fiction. It is possible that Osho actually believed it but it is a very [...]

Osho hated history. I remember when I was a (qualified) teacher in the Medina commune we were instructed very strongly not to teach history, and not to allude to it. Always seemed pretty fundamentalist to me and something in my maturity I consider I should have opposed. I guess the old man would have the [...]

‘What I object to is the presumption that government officials have got all the knowledge and locals have none’ Dr Elinor Ostrom, a brilliant Nobel prize winner and the first woman to win the Nobel for Economics (2009) While going through today´s headlines, the title above got my attention. How true and meaningful it sounds. [...]

Not so much a case of being a hungry fox, more just taking a break from work.

No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him–Psalm 49:7

Like a hungry fox Lokesh waits for somoene to pass by his way. To explain the subtle and obvious actions and gestures of Osho as per my understanding i can try t to explain, as they are as obvious as the stars in the sky, but to expalin such things to someone like Lokesh is [...]

I think one of the things that made Osho special was his ability to put into words that which is difficult to understand. As far as Osho’s discourses are concerned, I completely disagrre with Shantam. Osho’s words were not difficult to understand. As for Osho’s gestures…well Shantam, what exactly are you talking about? The motion [...]
