Beloved Madhu, in my life experience I have not found healing by being in crowds. Just the opposite. I do not even understand the idea of collective healing. From an early age the collective seemed insane. Only by […]

How many maintain their levels of creativity and awareness during drug trips? Osho sat in a dental chair and enjoyed laughing gas while continuing his previous level of creativity. He provided critical commentary […]

If death is disappearing, then I die every night during dreamless sleep in which I have no awareness, no witnessing, in which there is no guarantee of waking the next morning. I’ve experienced this death in sleep […]

Does the dancer’s state of mind influence whether or not dancing has the fountain of youth effect? I am reminded of a passage in Subhuti’s new book: WILD WILD GURU, where he describes his experience after the […]

I grew up in a conservative religious protestant culture where dancing was frowned upon as the devil’s handiwork. I did not begin to dance until in my 30s when I came across Osho. Osho was my dance instructor. […]

Yes, the Cream album is great. Osho also spoke of crossroads in Poona 2. When you come to a crossroads, if your heart is open guidance is available.
“Lalita, the spiritual path has many crossroads. On each […]

Arpana’s contribution, ‘The Right To Experiment: Trial, Error, Improvement’, reminds me of a book I am enjoying reading which contains a description of sannyasins, their experiments, their trials, their errors, […]

samarpan commented on the post, WITNESSING – An Incomplete Teaching, on the site sannyasnews 4 years, 7 months ago
Witnessing is not “an incomplete teaching.” Witnessing is not a teaching at all. Witnessing is simply knowing you are here…and that you are here, now, is beyond doubt. You do not need a guru, a mirror, or a book […]

“‘Why is witnessing an incomplete teaching?’” (Lokesh)
Yes, Osho spoke much on the witness and also on going beyond the witness. Osho did this through commentary in discourses, through guiding us in meditation, […]

Lokesh: “Osho himself went on to have a problem with drugs, nitrous oxide and valium…”
Lokesh says Osho had “a problem” with drugs. (I do not agree). Yet those who have taken ayahuasca or other psychedelics […]

“Unreal things can trigger real things, remember it. If you think they are real, they function for you as reality — only for you. It is a dream reality, but it can affect you, it can affect your whole life, your […]

Shantam Prem: “Ritvik and a few others are future of Neo-Sannyas and legacy holders of great departed master.”
Automatic sannyas just happens. It is not Osho’s doing, as Osho himself stated.
“When someone comes […]

Ritvik: “I don’t see Osho giving anything different from Ramana Maharshi.”
Actually, Osho and Ramana differ quite a bit. Osho pointed out that Ramana’s proposed basic inquiry: “Who am I?” is subtly reinforcing […]

Thanks, Madhu.
Enjoyment of the gap for me has been with poetry, music (listening and playing), friends, travel, family, dance, fasting, and a lot of guided relaxation with Maneesha’s Osho Bardo Meditation […]

Sannyasnews had a good run. No one seems to be jumping at the opportunity to keep it going. Maybe just a fond and dignified farewell is in order, letting it go the way of big P.
Thank you, Parmartha, for your […]

Great news! To paraphrase Mark Twain: The reports of the death of neo-Sannyas have been greatly exaggerated. Likewise, claims of Rajneeshpuram’s “failure” may be premature.
Nobody knows the future. Anybody […]
