Btw, Babasv, I’m referring to the whole of Osho’s work, not simply to the Ranch experiment, which did ‘fail’, of course, as your original piece yesterday seemed to indicate you weren’t just focusing on the […]

Try re-reading the last two paragraphs of my post, Babasv…especially, perhaps, the first one. It’s possible you might have something (or a lot) in common with Hugh Milne, which has been apparent in many or most […]

I suggest you re-read the second paragraph of my last post, Babasv, and at least attempt to see what’s being said, as you appear to have little or no grasp of the point at all.

Babasv, to say “Osho did fail with his experiment” is highly contestable. If you mean that the vast majority of sannyasins, let alone the population of the Earth, have remained ‘unenlightened’, and that the Earth […]

I may be wrong, Roman, but I’m pretty sure Flowers of Silence came out long ago, in the 70′s even. Anyway, what does it matter? A fine album indeed.

Check the last line of my response to Frank’s “cutting satire”, Bob.

One man’s ‘fun’ is another’s ‘power and money trip’, and is yet another’s ‘fascistic abuse’…
HItler probably thought he was having ‘fun’, at some level, but, more to the point, Jimmy Savile (in whom you’re […]

This stuff on Prashantam – unfortunately, I can well believe it. Fascism in the name of ‘therapy’! With lots of power, money and sex for the perpetrator(s) of the abuse. The very worst of the (so-called) sannyas movement.

Your point, Preetam, is a clever-sounding one, but just utterly impractical nonsense.
For one thing, your definition of a ‘crime’ would be rather different to that of the Courts, I imagine.
I remember an […]

Spot on re Osho and practical politics, Vartan. India was far more his element, but he was out of his depth in America, in this respect (like any Eastern master, perhaps?).
But I don’t know, things just might […]

Yet one aspect of all this you always overlook, Preetam, which is that the ‘wicked world’ perhaps exists to test us at every turn, to see whether our so-called ‘realisations’ actually hold up under […]

But you yourself have misunderstood my little piece of word-play, Roman. I wrote “(like ‘grim death’)” to describe your possible ‘resistance’!
And no, I wasn’t being ironic, just suggesting a possibility in a […]

Red Pradas, just like the Pope, eh? My God, wait till Preetam gets hold of this one….

Well, very simply, Roman, only a fool would choose to miss out on a chance to learn from a benign source.
But since when were Masters always ‘benign’ or non-authoritarian? Don’t they often challenge their people […]

Interesting, perhaps, Roman. You know what they say about such strong antipathy – that it might mask a hidden attraction? Or even something you’re afraid of…or resisting (like ‘grim death’!)…
Looking forward […]

I say, old bean, don’t you mean ‘persecuted’?
I suppose you could mean “prosecuted” though, come to think of it….

“Most sannyasins can’t take a joke, or get one”?
My God, sir, you’ve just committed sacrilege!
But, er, hang on a mo…Is Vartan the collective name for approximately, er, let’s say, 250,000 sannyasins?!
Just […]

Well, actually, I was strolling up Kentish Town Road just the other day and…No, I just can’t go on, it’s too…you know…
Guess I’ll have to do dynamic in the morning….

Well, the approaches of Father Griffiths and Osho so radically differed that it’s not surprising one criticised the other. Just a matter of what suits some people doesn’t suit others, surely? Clearly, Osho’s […]

Fortunate we are, to have in our very midst such a devoted and accurate chronicler of those times…
Sincere thanks, Friar Frank…
