One hundred percent incorrect, NP, the real questions of the so-called spiritual life revolve around the causes of our unhappiness, our struggle with meaning, with the profound lack of self and self-worth we all […]

The debate around older Indian gurus is pretty tiresome – they are largely dead, and their influence has waned in the West except amongst some aficionados here on the website, and those copycat western teachers […]

One of the features of many modern teachers is how their language about enlightenment just becomes more and more abstract and unintelligible. They use a vocabulary of eastern terminology, talk endlessly about […]

Simond is not my sannyas name, I dropped my given name many years ago.
You haven’t answered yet any question about my resentments, prejudices etc. or explained how I must be dissatisfied with my life.

Hi,
No, there will be no further voyages with ayahusca.Looking back to the experience and my own reflections, for the article published here on the site, I’ve become more and more clear that it was a […]

Hi Veet,
It’s always helpful to me if you can highlight examples for my behaviour and prejudices. As Sherlock Holmes might have said, “it’s all about facts”. So I’ll ask again, if you wish to help: be specific […] -

Hi Veet,
I had no idea I was resentful of Osho – do please enlighten me of how this is the case. -

I’ve enjoyed reading the book, the chapters are generally more in-depth, longer and contain some more of the intelligent responses from commentators. In addition, the chapters are more interesting than the first […]

Hi Swamishanti,
One angle to perhaps explore this issue is to see that the concern about Osho and his memory or legacy is a displacement of sorts. In fact it’s you who are worried and concerned about your own […]

I don’t see it as a matter of belief. Beliefs are always false, so if you believe Sannyas is a cult, or not, it makes no difference. Beliefs are ideas, and all ideas are false.
Better to explore and be honest to […]

Hi Nityaprem,
Yes, I’d consider Sannyas a cult, in the same way that we are all in a cult of one form or another.
Whether that disturbs you or anyone is what’s important, as everyone likes to think they are a […] -

I think you make a good point about the site. It’s covered many of the issues, concerns, joys and magic of Sannyas and Osho and there’s very little new to say about it all. Once upon a time, it was a far more real […]

You suggest people are drawn to Ayahuasca to feel the mother’s influence.
I’ve done the adventure, as you know, there is so much written and said about the Mother, and Ayahuasca that I’d suggest that until you […] -

I’m not sure how Osho’s life serves as a template for anything mythological. I try to see him as human, fallible, intelligent, charismatic, but I don’t look at him in myth, I use my own intelligence and discretion […]

Thanks Lokesh, I don’t always get round to reading the site, and often have nothing to say in response to some of the comments.
I do like how NP has provided some new input and of course your own writing is often […]

Hi Nityaprem,
Thanks for your contribution again.Regarding the mythology of Osho, there’s certainly a lot of it about amongst Sannyasins. His stillness, his vibe, was all about creating an image of him, a public […]

You’re a genuine fellow, Nityaprem, with a warmth and sincerity that shines through your writing. You’ve clearly read much and studied the words of many teachers. You’re also generous in your sentiments to others, […]

Hi Satyadeva
I just wondered if you’re able to contact some of the more regular visitors from old, indicating that this money is needed or the site will close down. I guess the suggestion is to widen the appeal … […] - Load More
