What were the facts about this Share a Home programme?
Sheela one day began to collect homeless from the streets, in the fall of 1984 as I remember. She promised a better life and a warm winter for them. After […] -

There was once a group leader in the early days called Rajen. (I think his legal name was Alan Lowen). He lived in the ashram, and was what they then called an ashramrite. Some thought him a better therapist than […]

Eighty Four Hours of WakefulnessSatya Vedant tells us the story of a journey from New York on a bus full of ‘Share-a-Home’ people in 1984. it is how he saw it. But the placing of this article here is an […]

read your references, Alok.
See no mention of Osho actually being denied entry to India.
Certainly people like Hasyo were harrassed and debarred from India at the time, but you know India, there is always a way, […] -
Parmartha commented on the post, Koan for a Sannyasin, on the site sannyasnews 2 weeks ago
No secret here. Leonard’s “Koan” owed a great deal to his seven year zen incarceration, his being betrayed by his manager whilst in his cave, and those encounters with Ramesh when he emerged in 1999.
That’s why […] -

On the matter of Surrender vs. Inquiry
or more technically, bhakti yoga vs. jnana yoga (inquiry) — Ramana Maharshi used to recommend inquiry, but did allow that for one not cut out for that path, bhakti yoga […]

Having just re-read some of this string which I must say shows good discussion, I think there has to be a distinction between devotion and the way of the heart. For me they have never been the same thing. […]

The World Tour was a complete mistake and a disaster. A typical poorly informed executive decision by Amrito and Jayesh. Hasyo and John.
Because of commune isolation and nievety they wasted loads of cash on Lear […] -

There is an error in the argument here Alok. I didn’t trust John and Jayesh. They produced no evidence that Osho had asked that the money be handed over, and I dont think He would have done so.
Sheela had often […] -

Democracy and Autocracy; is there any difference for a Sannyasin?
Shantam states:
As one looks at the period of Sannyas during Osho´s life time, the large majority of people who took sannyas were from the […] -

No one here has mentioned much about Jayananda. He was an investment Banker by profession, and ran the small Chidvilas commune, called the Castle when it received Osho on his first stop in the States.

Thanks Roman. Interesting link. I like taoism on the whole, but sure this one may have been mistranslated.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Your last sentence was the most interesting. -

I am a non devotional sannyasin. But I have a lot of time for example for Advaita. I know there were many “devotees” of Ramana, but in modern advaita it is comparatively rare. Because Osho did not explore […]

Roman posted this Taoism earlier. I dont like it.
‘Heaven and Earth are not humane
They regard all things as strawdogs
The sage is not humane
He regards all people as strawdogs’The whole point is that […]

Chetna,
Tony is a devotee. But he attacked me without due cause, and without even bothering to understand my approach. He also did it with a cloak of anonymity. That is typical totalitarian behaviour. Osho said […] -

Tony, I never got the money, and I never got the power, sometimes I got the women, tantra liked a bit of slumming.
But that Tony Montana,
he got the money but it made him lonely, he got the power but he got […] -

Well it was true that Jayesh and John did go off with the money!
The story was a little longer than my original precis, Osho was, it was true being flown all over the world at the time to find a home for the new […] -

Just in case those on this board dont understand the Medina money reference… which this guy Tony who mysteriously has come and gone, without saying who he is, has flagged up.
Medina was the UK Osho commune of […] -

Thanks for the post Roman. I can see your point – especially in advaita terms.
Nonetheless Osho’s work was very damaged by Sheela’s actions. Many who might have found their spiritual home with Osho never came […] -

The matter of those who were ambitious to be physically close to Osho is self evident. If as I suspect you also were around at the time you must have been blind not to see it. Sheela was just the best example.
