Samarpan,
You suggest that “the West never understood Osho and doesn’t appreciate his greatness”.
It’s not so simple, as I see it. His western sannyasins certainly understood him, if by that we mean that we […]

I refer your Lords and Ladies to my post of yesterday.
King Lokesh puts it better than I ever could….Arpana, I’m climbing up further and further up your proverbials. When someone does a better job than me, I […]

Dear Madhu,
I think the point Lokesh is making is that your posts aren’t always very clear.I recognise that English is not your first language, which makes it more difficult for you. Have you ever considered […]

The worst may yet come.
To bow to a guru is to raise him to a pedestal, which may feed the ego of the guru and disciple alike. The disciple loves the special status he feels, in having surrendered his ego. Which […]

Ah, but Arpana, what exactly is a “known fact?”
Facts come and go. The closer you look at any fact you care to mention, the more the fact becomes hazy and uncertain.
Even scientists recognise this more and more.

Just a suggestion, Arpana, that you say Yes a little more on this forum; if you reacted less to some of the comments posted by Shantam Prem and others… you allowed more and fought less?
You get caught up in […]

Good questions, Satyadeva.
Arpana below, provides a simple answer. Saying Yes.
As to bowing and all that jazz, I’m sure you know already that such acts don’t solve all the problems that you have listed.
Such […]

I like that, Arpana. As you say, we are often drawn to a phrase or a concept or a way of doing that serves its purpose, and is unique to us.
Your example of saying “Yes” is a great expression of this.I still […]

However far up I seem to go, Arpana, I always find you there.

Absolutely correct, Arpana. I know who is the King and who isn’t!

In many ways isn’t this debate meaningless? Osho is dead (I prefer to make it clear that he died, rather than “left his body”).
All those wanting to relive the old days and wallow in old memories are acting […]

There’s little point in me making any comments on Sannyas News these days Lokesh always says everything better than I ever could.
I bow to thee, old man! -

My feeling is that Osho was a product of India, and the Indian mindset, even though he reached across to the western mind as well.
Remember, all the images of him, pictures galore in every home and in every […]

I suggest, Arpana, if you look inside yourself you see yourself as virtuous, insightful, clever, witty, intelligent, rightly angry with ignorance, a defender of truth. You display aggression to those you don’t […]

I refer you, Arpana, to something you posted earlier today. Could it refer to you?
“And this may be a trick of the mind — looking for motivation in others. You may be using others as
scapegoats. It is one of the […] -

A further reminder from my friend today was sending me a copy of the Peter Gabriel song, ” Mother of Violence’, with the words:
“Fear, fear, she’s the mother of violence.”
I am deeply struck by this today. That […]

Apropos of nothing much, this photo moved me as I was sent it by a friend and I thought I’d share it.
I guess it symbolises many things; for me today, it was the power of life, that through it all, life survives. […]

Dear Bodhi Heeren,
I. too, am a mystic (a mystic is someone who loves the mystery) and I have read many of the earlier, more esoteric writings from Osho. I loved them, often found them very useful.
I’m also […]
