“Many times Osho said that his real work does not consist of words and public discourses, that they were just to entertain us. His work starts when we connect heart to heart with his energy.”

Yes. This is true.
WHATEVER Osho delivered; NOW it’s gone.
Sannyas has become a ‘Cargo Cult’.
John Frum, has disappeared ( but not died ).

There are some things that the Western mind cannot grasp, hence it simply discharges, denies and rejects altogether. Many times Osho said that his real work does not consist of words and public discourses, that they were just to entertain us. His work starts when we connect heart to heart with his energy.
My experience is that through the sannyas initiation I came closer to Osho, my heart opened and I allowed his energy to flow in and inundate me. I took sannays in Poona and to see that now that is “old fashion” makes me sad. Many people are starving for that experience and possibility. It is the most significant event in life and therefore I am extremely grateful to Arun for his effort to keep sannyas an alive phenomenon. In fact, with Arun Osho is alive. For too many, Osho is dead full stop and they are left with a bitter mouth that needs tons of rationalisations to make sense out of such a missed opportunity. If you guys go to Tapoban you can feel Osho is alive, dancing in the trees, celebrating and rejoicing with the many ecstatic sannyasins, which is the very essence of his message. You may not like Arun’s style, which might not appeal to a Western mind, but you cannot deny his sincere effort to spread Osho’s message. I repeat, with Arun Osho is alive and with no one else I had the same feeling.

Any chance of outlining your personal experience of Osho/sannyas, tehuti, to give an idea of how you’ve come to be so angry, so bitter about it all?

What about your “few gems” as well? Or are you afraid they’ll get similar treatment to what you like dishing out here?

“After all, shallowness has its own beauty but not when it pretends to be deep.”
Make it your mantra, Shant, and meditate on it…not that it would do you any good …but who knows…just maybe….

“Are you totally f*ked up? Is this what Sannyas has done for you; totally scrambled the few grey cells that you had between your ears?”…The little egg called tehuti.
If Lokesh, Satya Deva, Frank, Martyn would have used the above sentence for me or for anyone else, I will take this with grace…few people have earned their authority by walking the path. To tease these people, to think them as friends or foes in both ways, it is privilege. There is one old saying, ” It is better to have intelligent enemies then stupid friends”.
As Lokesh has written few posts above, his respect for everyone on daily basis,” unless they are a total tosser, those I generally ignore…not my line of work”.
This Mr. tehuti is one such, I feel to contest. Most of his little comments simply show “sheer hostility” as SD has observed too.
This site is almost like an ashram with gateless gate, but it does not mean it is Hyde Park!
I think editors should take notice that when someone new wants to enter, courtesy sake introduces himself, not just boom boom boom…
After all, shallowness has its own beauty but not when it pretends to be deep. This is for you, tehuti.

Who let you out of the kindergarden, Babasvetlana? I’m ridiculing you, man, that’s for sure. When it all boils down I am actually quite fond of Shantam. He makes me laugh and that is something I do appreciate. As for your comment, it is completely uninspiring and entirely predictable. My apologies for disturbing your sleep. You can return to La-la-land right about now and dream about your experiences that you had similar to Arun’s, even though they don’t seem to have helped you in any way. PS, I suggest changing the prefix of your name to Bah-bah…you know, like a sheep bleating, because that is how you sound.

Chetna, you have a good point, it seems Lokesh doesn’t care for gurus yet he’s trying to portrait himself as one on SN. Lokesh, you don’t look in the mirror before you speak. Arun’s just relaying his personal experiences way back when he first took sannyas. I too had experiences quite similar to Arun’s when I took sannyas, I can’t say it was exactly the same, for just describing it misses the experience. Too bad you’re back stuck in the head, and off on a tangent ridiculing those with whom you disagree, particularly Shantam.

Lokesh, you’re also a self-confessed liar.
You’re definitely on a lucky streak; first, the missus won the lottery, and now you’ve won the poker championship.
But irrespective of your flaws…and there’s a few…you’re OK-ish…as good as it gets here.
