Madhu, you can google Radhe Maa.
This lady is something.
Don´t worry, In India ladies claiming some kind of divinity don´t end up in mental asylum, thousands of people are eager to have their glimpse, take the dust of their feet on their forehead at any cost.

Thanks for the lovely reply. ” To be be in a love affair with existence has its price”. Wise words, Madhu! And I wish you well in your love affair, too! Wherever you are. XXXXX

Of course, but they will reach us in their own time, Shantam – not vice-versa!

Tan,

´Ideas´about ´Enlightement´all fall short, be from the West – be they from the East, and the Masters worth heir salt , how Lokesh did put it, never ceased to point at that.
In the course of the small temporary phase, I am reading and responding here, I am amazed, how these fingers pointing to some ´moon´are bitten, ever and ever again ….
and over decades and decades again.

The beauty that I still see in the indian subcontinent is, that a beautiful person like Bhuribai will most probably not end in a mental asylum , and that is something very beautiful about India and I hope they don´t loose that flavor there, – might be at stake though…

To be in a love affair with existence beyond the ´small family´ has its price, wherever .
And sometimes I like it , wehen U.G. Krishnamurti is mentioned here, who knew some more about the price.
Others could be mentioned also from the so called ´West`.

Wish you well in your love affair of This, wherever you happen to be – and

have a good day, today !

Madhu

Shantam, my dearest Punjabi, I wonder how those marvellous, simple women like Bhuribai would be seen in the West. Enlightened? Naive? Mental cases? Stupid? We have our own idea of enlightment…

Neither Osho is here anymore nor Bhuribai.
Is it possible to find such people among the 7.5 billion human beings and then to write about that experience?

Ah , Bhuribai, Bhuribai.
Another beautifull Indian story.
An illiterate woman, she scribbled and scribbled more and more words into her book until the pages were completely black.

To the western mind this looks illogical, absurd, insane, unnaceptable.

But Osho calls Bhuribai a “master of the irrational”.

Thanks Samarpan.
I was thinking not of the original “First Camp” discourses, but the Hindi discourse given on September 11, 1980: Translated from: JYUN THA TYUN THARAYA.

which is the text of the thread starter about Bhuribai above.

amazing, Simond. Thanks.
How much did it cost you? I know some of those very first Jain booklets by Osho are worth a mint apparently – if you know where to sell them!

Thanks for the reference to the title of the discourse, Parmartha.
I’ve ordered the book through some German second hand web site as it’s not in print these days. I’ll lend it to you once I have read it.
