I was merely quoting Shanti when I said “hundreds”, what Osho actually said in 1985 in ‘The Last Testament’ was that “perhaps no other man has loved so many women” when asked whether he was celibate.

@frank who said: “but it does sound self-serving, exploitative and not very pleasant for the girls.”
Yeah…and can you trust a guru who displays these properties to guide you spiritually? That for me is the key […]

@Frank, I meant that like Krishna, Osho wasn’t a total pacifist.
Krishna encouraged Arjuna to fight in the war.Those lines you quoted may be there in those books now. But those parts about sin, disgrace, etc. […]

This could easily have been a new topic on SannyasNews, there is a lot of stuff to discuss about it.

Thanks for the article. I found it rather shocking. It’s not how I am used to picturing Osho, but I don’t see any reason to call into question what Erin says. It makes me sad, as Lokesh said, to see […]

Aaah, sigh… yes, @Frank, and up to just now filling up some end of the verbal virtual uproar on a “Blue Monday”.
Reminding me that a so-called peace is more often a replacement for war…just using “other […]

Enlightenment as a communicable disease, how funny. Maybe it works like that, a lot of people at the commune were kind of blissed out…whether it helped with insight though, that I cannot tell.
A lot of […]

Whether you ascribe it to Osho, Jesus or anyone else is your choice, and a matter of imagination.”In my case I do not ascribe it to […]

The “unconditional love” of the guru can be felt, but only when your own heart is open and itself unconditionally loving. This is similar to being ‘loved up’ on ecstasy. Except perhaps with less excitement […]

I recall Stephen Turoff, a friend of mine went for treatment with him. She came out of it rather impressed and feeling better, but didn’t go back a second time.
Regarding the book, @frank, I think quite a few […]

Western society seems to be very busy encouraging people to spend, spend, spend. As […]

That’s fine by me, let them be meaningless. I don’t mind sharing the odd anecdote but I’m not going to lay out the details of my personal life to satisfy the whims of the SN regulars.
