Shantam, Veena says she was upset at how the new regime changed the Pune ashram, and it did take a long time, around 18 years, for her to come to terms with it all. It might be worth your while to read her account […]

“Another aspect is, most of people who have lived their youth around Osho are living vagabonds. It is a price one pays for feeling contented.”

Well, Shantam, your first sentence here is yet another […]

You’d be thrown out of any court as an uninformed, unreliable witness, Shantam. You invent accusations purely to suit yourself. Shame on you.

With your oft-expressed affinity for such a fundamentally stupid, lying character as Trump, I’m surprised Sheela didn’t co-opt you as part of her coterie, Shantam. You’d have had your own special niche in the WWC […]

“Doctor Devaraj is criminally blamed for feeding Bhagwan with opioids kind of stuff.”

Evidence, please, Shantam. Unless you don’t mind descending to the level of the gutter press in order to console yourself for […]

“A friend of mine lost his airmail mala, which was replaced with a perspex mala and he felt he was treated as an inferior at Medina by so many individuals, not all, but too many, and he really wasn’t the paranoid […]

Good post, Frank.

I agree, Arps, and I should have also mentioned the value of highlighting the intrinsic worth of individuals’ Ranch experiences, in case one loses sight of the immense positives of those years, amidst all the […]

Of course, Arps, but surely this was to occupy the mind while carrying out his primary purpose of ‘transmitting his energy’. As he used to say, he was waiting for the day when he could simply sit in silence, with […]

Perhaps you’d have preferred “Bhagwan” to have remained at the Ranch with his presence there precipitating a potential shoot-out with the U.S. National Guard, ending up with dead and injured bodies littering the […]

P.S:
Haven’t you read yesterday’s discussion between Satchit and me re the influence (or otherwise) of “Existence” (aka “Cosmic Intelligence”, or according to Frank, “God”)? See my post of 3.56pm, for instance.

There goes the ‘It’s All a Mystery’ Freak…How about using your own intelligence, Shantam, instead of suggesting something that can never be proved?

For example, why not ask yourself: If “Cosmic Intelligence” […]

Excellent progress, Herr Satchit, it might have taken several hours but in extra extra time you’ve restored my faith in contemporary, full-time professional seekers after all. Well played, sir! Can I have your […]

“To think that oneself is responsible is also a belief.”

Is it only a belief? No, Satchit, you’re being too clever by half. Common sense time again…

If I trip you up in the street and you swear at me for […]

I guess only a real “Tool of Existence” could have written that, Satchit…

But that sort of thing is surely a ‘given’, not news to anyone in circles as spiritually august as here at SN?

And not helpful when […]

As I’ve said before, this sort of explanation ‘explains everything while explaining nothing’, a classic way to absolve anyone of responsibility. And on just a little investigation it’s clearly an absurdity.

Osho […]

Seems unfair criticism of Rashid (and the other workers) that he and they “did not see the big picture of the Ranch, did not take responsibility for what was happening to the Ranch as a whole.” As Sheela […]

Are you, btw, Satchit, suggesting Sheela & co.’s ‘betrayal’ of Osho has led to greater and more favourable publicity for Osho, allowing his movement to flourish exponentially, in a similar way to how Christianity […]
