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…
Watch, Absorb and Inwardly Digest, Friar Shantam….

A Paki guru inciting a bunch of young religious nutters to bang their brains out in all the local b and b’s in Blackpool, say…
You can bet there would have been a bit of aggro there, too.Mmm,love it! Sure […]

Not at all sure that’s true, Vartan. Not for me, anyway. I turned up thanks to the wonderful effects of dynamic meditation and other active stuff, plus having been attracted by his recorded discourses and books. […]

More like a recipe for utter disaster….

Never heard of this until now, Vartan. Could you explain more about compartmentalisation, please?

Yes, I was reading about that recently, he says that he looked up and paid for access to online child porn sites to prove that banks were helping to ‘serve’ such sites, not for personal gratification.
Also, he […] -

Well, that’s a relief anyway!

But crying profusely at Billy Graham meetings isn’t necessarily evidence of “profundity”, Roman. Especially in the case of the man who indulged himself in it six times.
That last bit should perhaps read, “People […]

Ok! I asked in order to see if the roots of your anti-authority/institutions/government stance might possibly be in an unhappy past. But apparently, they’re not!

May I ask, please, Preetam, a personal question?
What was/is your relationship with your family like, especially with your father?
And how about your school – what was that like?
-
satyadeva commented on the post, Journalism in Sannyas, on the site sannyasnews 11 years, 6 months ago
Ok, I can go with that, Preetam.
Where I differ with you is re what we’ve discussed earlier today.
