By the way, Frank, regarding mushrooms (and chillums), which both have brain-expanding properties and spiritual qualities:
They grow near me, yet I just leave them alone. The last trip I had was around nine or […] -

Bom Shankar, Frank.
Yes, I like quite a few of the ‘Death to Deathlessness’ series which was originally published as ‘The Rajneesh Bible’, which Osho decided to title his talks to wind up the local angry […]

Tan,
I think Osho was an exceptionally intelligent man. But that was nothing to do with the size of his brain.
And I think that a truly enlightened person’s brain is actually quite different from an […]

BELOVED OSHO,
IF THE BRAIN OF AN ENLIGHTENED MAN WAS TRANSPLANTED INTO AN ORDINARY MAN,
WOULD HE START BEHAVING LIKE AN ENLIGHTENED MAN? WOULD HE EXPERIENCE
ENLIGHTENMENT?No, because the brain has nothing to do […]

Thanks, Madhu. I’ve enjoyed listening to some of the Love Osho podcasts too, although I have not listened to every one.
I reckon Swaram should create a book out of the interviews.
“Although I´m with Frank (in […]

There is a beedie wallah, aka cigarette/pan/beedies/possible others under the counter/seller in every Indian village. If they all have the same understanding as Nisargaddatta Maharaj, I doubt it.
I have heard, […]

Lokesh has sailed off in his boat into the deep blue sea again and has thrown down a line and some hooks. Let’s see who takes the bait.
Nisargaddatta taught what he knew, and what his guru had taught him. And […]

And I don’t think that was from just lots of fucking. She was a meditator but she was making a playful comment .

Anando in interview 1989
“Melbourne born Sue Appleton, now a senior administrator at the ashram in Poona said, with what ‘The Western Australian Magazine’ described as “disarming candour”:
We stuffed it up. He talked about sex being a basic energy that could be transformed to find super-consciousness, but we jumped on the sex bit and fucked our…[Read more] -

Sorry, Kavita, I don’t understand if you mean it was exactly like you meant it or how I meant it.
Or perhaps both?

No, I don’t think it was said in that sense, Kavita, I think that Chinmaya is like several other sannyasin who have claimed enlightenment, who still are sensed by some of those around them to have an inner […]

Yes indeed. To quote a Miten song,
“That’s the way he said it would be.”

I never knew Chinmaya well, I recognised him from a distance.
Apparently, he was a very esoteric fellow. Reading the different stories from his obituaries I get the impression that he was considered already […]

Glad you enjoyed it.
I recently read a piece on Oshonews from one of the disciples of Swami Yog Chinmaya’s , said to be an enlightened Osho sannyasin who had had his Ashram in Bagheshwar close to Nepal for […]

Ritvik, you do have a point and I think there are several aspects to the Rolls Royce collection, which Sharma misses in his post. I agree with him that it was one of his devices to help clear away certain people […]

Yes, that is a good point. I don’t know if he did give all the money back to all of them though. However, G was working on a very small scale in comparison with Osho who, as this Sharma guy points out, had […]

Old chap, yes indeed there were a whole series of fuck-ups – trying to build a large-scale commune city state in Reagan’s USA was a big mistake in the first place.
The scale of the fuck-ups: wire-tapping […]
