You’ve failed to answer my very specific questions, Satchit. You often make similarly unsatisfactory responses here, resorting to unconvincing, out-of-context generalities (well outside your own experience of […]

Satchit, this is totally specious, sentimental nonsense. I ask you again, what was “beautiful” about Sheela’s arrogant antics, about how Osho was treated in various US prisons, about the serious deterioration in […]

Satchit, my main point is that you’re mistaken to describe the demise of the Ranch (and thereby the whole American enterprise) as “beautiful”. You haven’t provided an answer yet.

So what was “beautiful” about the failure where Sheela played a pivotal role by alienating many people and the powers-that-be? It was a clumsy, stupid policy, perhaps suited to India but showing no understanding […]

Here we go again…the foolish, naive notion that Osho had infallible judgment in all circumstances and of all people.
“it failed beautifully”, did it, when the effects of failure included the incarceration and […]

That’s right, Nityaprem, and it’s always been true of newspapers, radio and tv news as well. Barry Long, a former newspaper editor in Australia, used to say “the media carry the contagion and spread it far and […]

Sorry to disappoint, Shanti, but I don’t recall being particularly bothered by the 93 RRs, I was too busy with more personal concerns.
Apart from behaving like an archetypal eastern potentate, fascinated by […]

“What Shanti misses is that the Sannyas movement was an experiment and experimentation involves making mistakes and things going wrong, as they often did.”
This key fact seems so often to be forgotten or ignored […]

“If some younger women have complained about their ex-lovers on a private Facebook group, some men felt genuinely bad about it and apologised, or just apologised because their ex felt upset…”
And/or perhaps […]

Yes indeed, Shanti, but so what, are you really so naive? All that is grist for the mill for a predator.
I was at the Ranch only for the summer festival in ’83, but I’ve heard things from one or two people who […]

The issue isn’t about women, it concerns teenagers, Shanti.
And my point about the tantric texts is however respectful towards women and positive towards sex they are, they can readily be used to manipulate the […]

Yes, Shanti, of course it depends on individual circumstances, not all such liaisons are going to be exploitative. Yet quoting ages of consent isn’t good enough, it’s still a flawed way to attempt to lessen cases […]

But whatever might be the truth of Osho’s sex life, it was all a device though, surely?

That would be quite a change then from the perspective he’d held for many years, summed up by his response to a question on where he stood re Osho: “I am neither for him nor against him.”

Apparently, the vast majority of ‘enlightenment’ happens at death. So the living ones who are truly ‘enlightened’ must be relatively few and far between, though many who have various ‘realisations’ along the way […]

The scholars, followers and critics might carry on debating the originality and authenticity of Osho’s words for eternity, while missing the presence, the consciousness, the vastness, the courage, the love, the […]

Yes, maybe there’s no such thing as ‘enlightenment’ but from what I’ve heard there are plenty of ‘realisations’, including there’s no death (and a load of others that I’m unable to recall at this moment, lol).

From what I’ve heard, the ‘newly enlightened’ require an often fairly lengthy period of integrating the implications of their realisation in their day-to-day lives. It seems a key factor might be that “there are […]

I’m surprised it’s taken so long for you to realise this, NP, especially as you grew up around Osho at the Pune ashram.
Although it sounds as if you really do know this now, 100%.
