I would think, Shantam, that “propriety”, as you call it, would suggest that you take good note of the fact that you have never received the slightest shred of support for your ‘big ideas’ here at SN. But you’re just too bone-headed, too self-righteously thick to care, of course (or perhaps even to notice).

As I’ve said before, you’re damn fortunate you’ve been allowed to perpetrate your personal propaganda for so long here, as elsewhere you’d have been cut off long ago.

As for the rest, it doesn’t require any sort of ‘Sannyas Official Insider Certificate’ to realise you are, as I said, way out of your depth in any discussion on what should or shouldn’t happen in Sannyas, including at the Pune ashram. Because almost all your posts resonate with the desperate stupidity of the self-deluded, of one who’s attempting to compensate for the mess he’s made of his life by, essentially, offloading the responsibility on to others.

Sorry, Shantam, but you’re just not fit for purpose – unless that purpose includes setting up yet another useless religion for the terminally mediocre.

If people like Shantam had understood Osho, I don’t think there was a need to go on jumping like a frog from this to that – calling himself superior.

Moreover, Shantam, do you have any sense of propriety? There are people like Satyadeva who have spent their whole life around Osho in an unwavering way. You should serve him tea and coffee first to understand the broader picture.

In my opinion, Shantam, you are one of those fickle-minded who impose your mind on Osho.

Shantam, before you rejoin battle with the cowardly junkie psychoanalyst (why would you do that?), listen up a bit.

Very few people, intelligent educated people in the UK for example, discuss Jesus Christ on a daily basis. You will find that even the Daily Mail gives more column inches to Kim Kardashian’s ass than JC’s crucifixion.

Dear boy, you have described how you were brought up as a Sikh and then took sannyas, thus effectively swapping, as you describe it, one religion for another without any break, not even a day in-between.

Here`s a thought:
As an experiment, how about spending at least one day in your life as a human being, without a label, on this large piece of spinning rock hurtling through space – don’t know why, don’t know what for – and all those explanations of other people, enlightened or whatever, really don`t matter, for today?

What have you got to lose?

If people like Satyadeva had understood Osho, I don’t think there was a need to go on jumping like a frog from this to that one – anyone who calls himself/herself a bit superior. If doctors write no prescription, one can go on changing the pulse readers.

“Religious system”, “church”? What nonsense, Shantam!

For me, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood Osho and as a result, all these efforts you’re trying to make towards recreating a Sannyas that suits you are fundamentally flawed.

Just like other mediocrities who couldn’t wait to make an organised religion out of their dead masters’ life and teachings. Well-meaning, yes – but hopelessly out-of-their depth.

There is not a single western country, prosperous, rich, educated and scientific-tempered country where life and time of Jesus is not discussed almost on daily basis. Most of the Osho disciples come from such countries. They frown with contempt when someone discusses life and time of Osho, as for them, it is being in the past, and life is here and now.

I wonder, in their here and now, what kind of quality of life has been created. Matter of the fact is Osho gave a chance to create better religious system than the previous ones. He fuelled the discontentment towards the others and established on the way His own church, churchless church. Post-death of the Charismatic one, whereas others created their civilization, sannyasins simply let it fall. “Let go” has been taken literally.

Can someone tell from the title photo of 1969 that the man and the master is visualizing a place of His own where entry fee per day will be 1800 Rupees (around 20 Pounds)
The above thought is based on the news link. ‘In The Footsteps Of Judas’ will be shown on BBC 1 at 9am on Friday, March 25.

Because of this article, I am reliving the memories of my one and the only Jabalpur stay for 21 days silence meditation at Swami Anand Vijay’s commune. It is situated at the outskirts of the city surrounded by small mountains untouched by the civilization. I am sure Osho must have spent many, many days walking there.

I cannot remember fully whether it was few months before Osho leaving the body or few months after, with my German girlfriend of that time, we wanted to do 21 days silence where it is not too expensive and has Osho energy.

I think Jabalpur centre will be still no. 1 to offer pure Osho at quite reasonable rate.
