Well, I didn’t say there should be no ‘central office’ but that any such outfit should be mainly concerned with distribution of books and videos (plus, come to think of it, youtube and even Facebook etc. […]

Provide a few examples, ys, please, otherwise it’s all a bit vague.

Well, I’ve received weekly emails from the BL people in Australia for quite a while, which advertise new videos, cd’s etc. and there’s apparently a programme of public videos in many countries.
Maybe they’ve […]

But that’s an old one, frank – you can’t teach an old Gooner new tricks (not sure who Preetam supports though)…
Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsena-ul, Arsenal!
PS: You forgot to mention the obligatory club […]

“Heaven and Earth are enmeshed into each other, it is the same space, even within our hearts, but New Age, maybe even Sannyas, loves the pink carousel.”
Well, this sounds a bit ‘New Agey’, Preetam! Could you […]

First thoughts:
It’s surely only genuinely possible through individuals or small groups (really small!) who somehow impress others simply through ‘how they are’.That, plus the distribution of videos and books […]

Look, Preetam, it’s no secret that the vested political/economic interests have run and are running the world since God knows when. Why make such a ‘song and dance’ about it, when it’s a ‘given’ for living […]

And, Preetam, I wouldn’t know, but perhaps your often expressed concern, bordering, it seems, on obsession, with the ‘Dark Forces’, Secret Societies etc. carving up the World could be due to projecting your very […]

Plenty to be getting on with, thanks, Preetam – enough to keep me ‘busy’ for quite a while, I imagine….

Preetam, why not just take a look around you, esp if you live in an urban area, and see “the state of humanity”? Or, read the newspapers, watch current affairs or news programmes on tv. Better still, look inside […]

You’ve completely misunderstood me, Preetam. Where did I advocate “becoming a better person”, in what you call ‘New Age’ terms?
The point I made was simply to see that the world’s problems ‘out there’ are a […]

Preetam:
“To me, the same scheme took his Commune, Osho’s life, his heart and his dying process.”I suggest you look again at the facts, Preetam, rather than letting your rather paranoid imagination run wild. […]

Thanks for defining common sense, Lokesh, it would seem to be essential information, esp perhaps for ‘the spiritual aspirant’….

Sarlo, on the one hand you say you actually don’t know, which sounds honest enough, yet then you say that in fact you choose to go with a version of truth that you are “comfortable” with, ie that suits you. Sounds […]

Sarlo, you say:
“Yes, I would say that Osho “consciously allowed the ranch to fall apart,” because he was conscious and he allowed everything, except what he didn’t allow, and regarding that, one could say he […] -

Good post, Arpana.
But as for Sarlo’s, “But just speaking about it was not sufficient. We needed a big existential lesson. So he sacrificed his commune, millions of dollars and much more so we could have that […]

Paxman’s article might appear ‘reasonable’, esp to those with an adolescentish ‘I hate the older generation’-type axe to grind, among whom you, young sannyasin, have often appeared to stand. But really, it’s […]

“Who knows you were Edmund Burke in your past life?”
You don’t believe in this ‘past life’ rubbish, do you, Shantam?!

Yes indeed, Shantam, I guess fine examples of this Unity in Diversity were the Hindu-Muslim conflicts leading to the exceedingly bloody civil conflicts after world war 2…You know, Partition and all that?
Mmmm, […]
