Sorry Alok, did not complete this. I dont know Yatri’s state of mortality, and I dont know if he was English. But others may know so please post here.

Yes, perhaps the best sannyasin cartoonist of them all. His name was Yatri, and he published cartoons in Pune one, but they were not “understood” by Sheela and gang, and he was never asked to produce cartoons after 1981. They appeared in the old Rajneesh Times as I remember. Other quite good London based cartoonists [...]

Parmartha started the forum topic Edition of "Rajneeshism" in the group Rajneeshism: 12 years, 10 months ago
I have now managed to get a copy from a remote Canadian bookseller – the book of which thousands were burnt in the Commune Crematorium in September, 1985, called “Rajneeshism” and published by Sheela in 1983. This was on the orders apparently of the then new Secretary Hasya. The first thing that struck me given [...]

I am a life long disbeliever in homeopathy, makes no sense at all to me. But maybe I should think again, as the Queen and Prince Phillip both seem to have their marbles, and seem in very good health…. and use homeopathy…. Acupuncture I have also thought is not much better – but The Queen [...]

Parmartha posted on the forum topic Osho Leela 15 take sannyas, May,2011 in the group Taking Sannyas: 12 years, 11 months ago
As for Arun I want to ask him, or his reps here in the UK a single question: (and the same question to Keerti in Delhi): what did his Master mean when he said in 1985 “From now onwards, anybody who wants initiation into sannyas will not be given a mala and will not be [...]

Parmartha started the forum topic Osho Leela 15 take sannyas, May,2011 in the group Taking Sannyas: 12 years, 11 months ago
Last weekend there was a Festival at Osho Leela, the Osho commune near Gillingham in the UK. During the Festival 15 people took sannyas. When I heard this I was somehow surprised. Taking sannyas, is this some kind of throw back to 25 years ago? Does it mean anything at all in current time? Then [...]

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, [...]

Parmartha commented on the blog post Who’s ‘erbs are they Anyway? 12 years, 12 months ago
Shantam displays a sort of Indian mentality again. Has he never considered that the drugs and remedies “of the west” are arguably more dangerous than the herbs of his ancestors? All these “approved” medicines that come from those profit obsessed western companies (it is they who have managed to get the herbal stuff banned cos [...]

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 [...]

Parmartha posted on the forum topic The Problem with Sheela in the group The Rajneeshpuram Enigma: 13 years ago
I think it’s okay to say “I dont know” in any circumstances, but are people here saying this? Many seem to be saying I know. ‘Dont know’ is actually my bottom line on this subject. I just want those who feel Osho subscribed to criminal activity to test it against the evidence that there is, [...]

Parmartha started the forum topic The Problem with Sheela in the group The Rajneeshpuram Enigma: 13 years ago
The problem about Sheela was that after she left the commune she blamed Osho as someone who either gave the nod to her criminal activities on the Ranch, or even dreamed them up. However the US Justice system charged her and her co-conspirators with attempted murder, poisoning two county officials, setting fire to a county [...]

Shantam re “Bowing down” !! I met Osho in 1974, the first darshan I went to there were a number of Indians. I was “green” , I didn’t know what the form was. After Osho was seated in his Chair the Indians tried to bow down to touch his feet, etc, and thinking this was [...]

Parmartha commented on the blog post The Signature of Poison/ Osho’s death 13 years ago
I enjoyed your post Lokesh, but have a few doubts. My experience was a bit different, I never thought Osho was in fact a very good judge of character in the normal sense, even with me! Sheela was actually family of a sort for Osho, and you know what families are, especially Indian families! So [...]

Hi Bingo, I was going the other way when you were going to Europe. I was a European commune member invited to Oregon for six months in the work swaps that were going on at that time. Hence perhaps my memory of those last six months Ranch events is a little clearer and based on [...]
