satyadeva commented on the post, Forget all about this spiritual stuff – Osho, on the site sannyasnews 9 years, 9 months ago
Dream on, Shantam…
“International Buddhafield” in a polluted Indian city – with no ‘Buddha’ in sight (or insight), just a crowd of ‘seekers’, mostly middle-aged and older, united in varying degrees of […]

Sure, Shantam. Only problem is, the ‘Buddha’ ain’t around…
The day you see the impracticality, the waste of energy, hence the futility of living in the past, in ‘the good old days’, will be the day you begin to […]

I suggest, Shantam, you’re too full of the brown stuff yourself to notice the rather tentative way I broached this concern.

I notice you’ve failed to respond to my most recent posts (July 18) at the last thread, Shantam. If you haven’t read them yet I suggest you do as they’re relevant to this particular issue.
I agree with Arpana […]

“By killing the emotions, you kill the love. In such man-made relations like master-disciple, role of emotions is paramount, otherwise what is the difference between an Acharya and an Osho?”
On the other hand, […]

I might well be way off track here, Shantam, but it’s occurred to me that perhaps your extreme concern for returning to ‘the good old days’ at the Pune ashram could be at least partly driven by a fear of being […]

satyadeva commented on the post, “Guru” Purnima, on the site sannyasnews 9 years, 9 months ago
But the answer’s obvious, Shantam. Pune itself is an unattractive destination, overcrowded, heavily polluted, expensive to get to as well. And without Osho’s presence, how many would really want to make the […]

Who knows, perhaps ‘Existence takes care’ could not only refer to the ‘nice’ stuff, maybe it could be expanded to include the whole lot – war, premature death, disease, fatal accidents, mental and physical […]

Or, is ‘Existence’ already ‘taking care of everything’ anyway, eg we’ve been born, are living, and will one day not be here any more; and the Earth continues on its inexorable way around the Sun, the seasons come […]

So what, in real-life practical terms would it actually mean for “Existence to take care of everything”, Karima? How would your or my or anyone’s life, for example, change? I’m trying to get down to details we can […]

I imagine Arun’s response was almost certainly similar to the Daily Mail’s when they read Anthony’s articulate, academically sound, unbiased defence of Osho in his recent letter, Anubodh.
(Er, presumably Anthony […]

Anand Yogi, this is most interesting. Could you please tell us where and exactly how you celebrated Guru Purnima Day, 2014?
One assumes, of course, that you’re either Indian or more or less of that, er, ‘persuasion’?

satyadeva commented on the post, “Guru” Purnima, on the site sannyasnews 9 years, 9 months ago
Well, AN, to be accurate in your statement of yesterday, instead of saying “the whole universe” it seems you should have written, “my whole universe, my town”?

Madhu, I’ve nothing against Guru Purnima Day celebrations, although it’s irrelevant, even alien, to me, coming as it does from another culture. (What’s that word already forming in all would-be ‘devotional’ […]

satyadeva commented on the post, “Guru” Purnima, on the site sannyasnews 9 years, 9 months ago
AN, on the contrary, as you have made the assertion (I presume you refer to this so-called ‘universal alignment’) the onus is squarely upon you to demonstrate its truth.
Frankly, it’s transparent nonsense, as […]

Video keeps stopping, so I have only watched the first few minutes, but I’m not too impressed by a couple of things: a few of the people wearing a mala and what looks like fairly half-hearted efforts in the […]

Did you read Anubodh’s suggestion, Anthony?

satyadeva commented on the post, “Guru” Purnima, on the site sannyasnews 9 years, 9 months ago
Anand Newman, your suggestion re having two main groups running Sannyas leaves out what seems to be a major point of contention, ie the role and the nature of the Pune ashram, including how Osho is presented (or […]

How’s your letter to the Daily Mail coming along, Anthony?

But what makes you think you know what Osho wanted, Shantam? And if you say he wanted an ‘Inner Circle’ of 21 people, then what makes you think that these people would create what you person-ally would prefer?
I […]
