Encounter groups in the form they were used in Pune were “invented” by Fritz Perls from the Esalen Institute in California. He wrote several books, but whether they are still in print who knows.

from Parmartha: well I dont know. Some sannyasins did the encounter group like a badge of initation but when they were in the group just surfed it. Any situation in life in my experience is what you make it, […]

The “Cult” Story
Anthony Thompson criticises those who see Sannyas as a Cult:I strongly disagree with statements about Osho´s movement being a cult. Why?: Simply because some of the pre-requisites to have any […]

Hi Chetna, I have no desire to shake your faith in formal mediation. In any case it will drop away when the time is ready like fruit from the tree. On the instructions your argument is a little thin. Osho certainly did have private parts to his life that were not public when we old [...]

Unlikely to have been meditation Chetna. Any old sannyaisn worth his salt will tell you that formal meditation is just the beginning of the road, bringing meditation to all and every one of one’s activities and even sleep, yeah, now that’s something else. I am sure that Osho would have started to discourage formal meditation [...]

Sarovara writes how sannyas name giving procedures were suddenly changed by Osho International…. sometime in the past decade…. you were to choose your own name…. He says: ” Then came the time when it was decided that people could choose their own sannyas names. I was invited along to a meeting with Amrito for Osho Centers and [...]

Posts appearing on the main articles page are not meant to be a chat board. It is edited. If people dont like that then they need to use the caravanserai more or create their own site. The caravanserai needs to be more user friendly to new members, and we will work on that.

Sannyasnews is largely a UK based site. So we thought to give an airing, given recent social uprest, to Osho’s answer in 1985 to UK problems, has anything changed? Or is his view too simplistic here? Beloved Master, For centuries the British Bobby, with no gun, only a small truncheon, has been a symbol of the respect for law [...]

Kavita, Osho made a clear decision to give everyone who wanted it sannyas. He must have thought about it, I think that one of his very early disciples was on record as saying he took three days and nights before saying yes to Laxmi re creating an organisation with names, orange and the mala. I [...]

THE NAME GAME: Lokesh opines Osho said: ‘Don’t be deceived by the names. You are always hankering to catch hold of something, to make something big out of nothings. The names I give you are just like lovers’ sweet nothings. Don’t make much fuss about them. “In fact, once I have given you the name, [...]

One is called Mind Bomb published by Melrose Books in 2007. The second is called Boderline Dreamtime published by Spiderwize in 2010.
