Parmartha commented on the blog post The Signature of Poison/ Osho’s death 11 years, 1 month ago
Alok it is not fair to say this subject has been overvisited. It was never actually mentioned until 1999 except by outsiders such as myself and Prem Paritosh. It was only after Devageet’s article in 1999 and other articles from the dental team in Viha Connection magazine did it ever even get discussed as such. [...]

Parmartha commented on the blog post The Signature of Poison/ Osho’s death 11 years, 1 month ago
Good point Prem. Clearly in India whatever drug “Soma” was in the ancient times, was then used by many spiritual adepts three thousand years ago. The issue seems to me to be whether Osho wanted this activity to be a public activity, and if so, why has this been suppressed for over 20 years? Many [...]

Sadly Shantam, I think that White Robe is just a ritual and a religion creating ritual, and just like mass in a Catholic Church, or prayers at a mosque, or Buddhist chanting, incredibly boring. I have been in Pune in the last 10 years, so I am not talking of over 25 years ago when [...]

Frankly India is so corrupt and inefficient that any statistics even of population are well known to be in severe doubt by the UN, etc. The main point is that visitors to the ashram/resort continue, and the impression from those who report back to SN is that the energy is good, Osho’s presence is still [...]

Some good posts in this string. I’ve met a few people over the years who live by what the Christians call Faith. They sort the ‘material” question out by allowing existence simply to provide. Mind you, even Jesus found this taxing at times and cursed one village for not giving him and his disciples food. [...]

Sannyasin's minds: 11 years, 1 month ago
The Times of india published stats yesterday re foreign visitors to Pune since the German Bakery bombing. (See other string). Have not seen this on any other Osho or Sannyas site yet. So SN is as up to date or more so than many another sannyas site. In fact you could argue that the leading [...]

Osho and Libya: 11 years, 1 month ago
I never worried myself about what Osho said or did not say about political stuff. He needed an excuse to talk, but the transmission was always there if one was open, which i certainly was not always! As someone paying at least 20% of what I earn to the UK government in taxes I resent [...]

Parmartha started the forum topic Osho and Allopathic Medicine in the group
Mediation, not Medication: 11 years, 2 months ago
When I lived around Osho I was not particularly aware that he was so much in favour of holistic medicine. In darshans he often used to recommend taking straight medical complaints to a western style doctor… and seemed to have some faith in it. I agree with Lokesh in the other topic that for Osho [...]

Relationship between Osho and Nitrous Oxide : 11 years, 2 months ago
According to Devageet, Osho’s personal dentist (in a 1998 preface to ‘Books I Have Loved’), Osho dictated three books under the influence of nitrous oxide from the dental chair. They were “Glimpses of a Golden Childhood”, Notes of a Madman” and “Books I have Loved”. In the 1985 edition of these books Devageet says they [...]

Kavita you write: “l wonder whether these sannyasins / disciples you mentioned above . . shall ever in their life time be able to work with the same intensity as & when he was in his body .” I am not sure what you mean here, do you mean those disciples that were in Osho’s [...]
