• Below are two letters received from Official Osho International sources . (As Sannyasnews previously commented it would seem that there is a degree of manipulation and manufacturing by those who, for whatever reason,  want to see the demise of the present organisation running the Pune Resort.) Beloved OSHO Center facilitators, Meditation Activity…[Read more]

  • You did not read what we said very carefully Anthony. The ‘news” was offered with the usual provisos. However bear in mind that many in the sannyas world knew of these Indian press stories two days ago and the response from “people power” sannyasins, but dont publish, etc. And for why? Whilst it may or [...]

  • The Rolls Royce Story One of the main issues of controversy while Osho lived in the US was his apparent ownership of 93 Rolls Royces. All those American dudes and commentators took the chance to appear horribly shocked by that. (Actually Osho never owned those vehicles, they were owned by a consortium of leading disciples.) But [...]

  • There’s a meeting of the Blake Society intended to summon the Visionary Heads that Blake depicted in his sketch books, on Tuesday 18 October 2011. Has a relevance to this string? It’s at the House of William Blake, 17 South Molton Street, London. The organisers say: We gather just before midnight at Blake’s only surviving [...]

  • Again from Pari’s Book:

    Osho had some kind of energy field round him… I don’t know anything about these things, but this was something you could definitely feel for yourself, but you had to get close to him physically to do so. In Tantra this is called the guru’s shakti, his energy; and its direct transmission from guru to disciple,…[Read more]

  • Some Early experiences recounted by Lokesh Questioner: You ask: I have been told that you leave your body for several hours each day and that when you return you are very hungry and that you eat sixteen chapattis. Is this true? Osho: Yes, it is true. Whenever one leaves the body one feels very, very hungry on coming [...]

  • “This gentle vegetarian” wrote the American novelist Tom Robbins, in a phrase the ashram loves to quote. There, so far as I am concerned, speaks someone who never sat in front of Osho. Gentle vegetarian, my eye. He was scary, Osho; he was really scary… What was it he said? “You open an abyss before them, and you tempt them to jump.” Well, that’s…[Read more]

  • Recently, a sannyasin diagnosed with a serious illness was asked if she’d like me to visit her in order to have some sessions together. She responded with some alarm, saying something to the effect: “Oh, I’m not that far down the line, as to need Maneesha to visit, am I?’ She viewed me as a kind of angel [...]

  • Religion is the Opium of the People Lokesh points out a major Contradiction Osho referred to Karl Marx’s famous statement many times.  ‘Communism means removing all fictions from the human mind, giving it a good cleaning of all the past that has filled it with rubbish. Marx’s vision never reached beyond that, but my understanding and [...]

  • This string is now closed as it is long off topic, but please start your own strings on the caravanserai.

  • Sadly Arpana,
    this was before he went into silence. He came out of silence when he realised his assessment of his sannyasins at that time was mistaken.

  • No he’s not SD. He is the author of “The 3 Dangerous Magi” in the name of P.T. Mistlberger . It’s a book worth the reading.
