Apparently, Shyam sat with Gurdgieff as well as Osho.
I knew that he had been with Aurobindo:http://www.secretsofnaturalhealth.com/about.html

And lots of fasting, probably.
Many yogis water fast two days a month. -

Osho apparently got onto valium sometime around his US period.
It was regularly prescribed by doctors at the time, it would have been difficult for Amrito to say no if Osho kept asking for it. But do we know if […]

I heard that Shyam Singha went a bit nuts and laughed for three days in Pune. Someone (Osho?) said it was a satori.
Osho later complained that Shyam was always trying to massage his feet in darshan. He also gave […]

Shyam Singha was a practitioner of not only acupuncture, but also bone-crunching, chiropractic, massage and master of dietary nutrition.
I know a couple of people trained by him and his partner at his centre […]

Osho always insisted on Western allopathic medicine, seemingly thinking that is was superior to the alternatives. He once said something like allopathic medicine always works, whereas alternatives only work if you […]

The ancient yogis used special stretching methods that could lengthen the spine by up to two feet.
Similar traction methods have been used for spine-related problems in the West, as well as for torture.

Well, like Frau Dolano says, she got there through single-pointed and total meditation.
Some people get distracted by crystals, others by bullshit which was just mind-fucking, but she stuck with her zazen and […]

I watched Mother Meera answering someone’s question recently about enlightenment.
She said that when enlightenment truly happens then it is difficult to stay in the body and there is a strong pull to leave. […]

Yes, by all the accounts, Osho was always graceful. He was an excellent teacher, always telling his meditators to just watch and not to get involved in siddhis or other phenomena.
Once he was asked if he could […]

I read Shunyo’s account of the police barging into the villa in Crete, and apparently one of the policemen was getting angry and impatient and placed his hand on Osho’s wrist, and said, “We take you now!” and […]

I was surprised by the Indians’ ability to communicate with cows, indeed they taught me how to talk to them and make them come to me and how to direct them away from me.

I have read the tale of Osho momentarily stopping and confusing the officer but I cannot remember where.

I recently did a marathon work of cleaning and decorating, in the end in freezing cold temperatures.
It was the worst time of year for painting as there is very little light, and I had to leave the windows open […]

I came across a couple of other books I hadn’t seen for years yesterday, Pantanjali’s ‘Yoga Sutras’ (with foreword by Sw Vivekananda), an interesting book, and ‘Biography of a Buddha’, another interesting story. […]

Yes, I have recently moved to a place above three garages. One of them is mine and is indeed useful.
I also wonder if Osho may have been losing his marbles a bit by that time.

I figure I may have mixed up that story from someone else’s account. Juliet Foreman (Maneesha)? Or Veena, Geet or one of his other crew.
Shunyo reports that the last thing Osho said to her on the 16th january, […]
