Great post, Samarpan!

I too continue to feel gratitude for having Osho in my life, although I was not fortunate enough to be graced by his physical presence. At one point in my neo-sannyas journey, I felt a need to be part of a community and I made a pilgrimage to Tapoban.

But after my experience of the “buddhafield” it become more clear to me that the path of ‘individual neo-sannyasin misfit’ is more fitting at this stage of my life. Even possibly for the rest of my life in this incarnation.

I still appreciate the community but I feel that the destruction of the community or communities will not affect the growth of the seed that has been planted by Osho in numerous individuals, like myself.

Definition of bunny ((from ‘The Online Slang Dictionary’): A highly sexual attractive female

Yes, you are a bunny, Tan, and you look much younger than your age!
I meant that all of the women on SN are bunnies.

Lately, the guys here are inspired to short phrases: “they can’t compete with the male intellectual egos”. I like it, SS. I am hanging around here, it means I am a bunny? Thanks, I am a sixty-two year old bunny! Cheers!

Hey, Parmatha,
I’m 57 and still pretty unsure about the difference between reality and my imagination. I’m aware of my ability to deceive and confuse myself, so…

Looking forward to getting to 70!

And P.S:
I ain’t no hermit although her indoors does tell me that she has to drag me out sometimes to social events!

Guten Tag Madhu

“Maybe you can enlighten me why females (if at all) are quite under-represented as visible contributors?”

Apart from a few ‘bunnies’, not many females. seem to hang around for long on SN.

Maybe it’s because they can’t compete with the male intellectual egos.

Tschussi,

Bis dann!

Welcome back, Arpana!

Nice comedy, Satyadeva.
This genre of writing also suits you other than dry psychoanalysis.

I’m sure all sannyasins and fellow-travellers can hardly contain their excitement at the prospect of the forthcoming publication of the First Gospel of Swami Shantam Prem Iqbal Singh…

At last, there is Certainty!
At last, Order!
At last, a Proper, Authentic, Official Version of ‘What Osho Really Said…And Wanted…And Still Wants’!

Praise the Lord – er, sorry, I mean God – no, that’s not ‘It’…erm, er…ah yes, of course, ‘Existence’ – for allah-wing us to be Blessed so profoundly by One of Our Own!

Amen.

N.B:
For the foreseeable, non-existent future, Morning Sannyas Bhajans and Osho Evensong from Freiburg Cathedral will be led by the Swami Himself, who, despite total lack of public demand, is keen to demonstrate just how much in tune he is with something called ‘Osho’s Vision’ and how he alone possesses the highest qualifications for the crucial role of Head Priest of this latest version of a new-but-terribly-old-and-mediocre-already-unfortunately-thoroughly-clapped-out-concept.

The Very Best of Osho’s Grace to All who attend (you’ll most definitely need It).

Good post, shantishanti.
Without sense of humour, there is no O Shanti, O Madhu, O Prem!
O religion business is full of humour, irony, denial and enlightenment (hide).

Not by the boss, but he did allow it to happen!
