That’s right, Anand, and just as Dr. Amrito recently stressed in his latest video, the evening White Robe Brotherhood was always the most important thing in 1989, meditating together and everything would come out with a “bublublubaa”, and Osho used to ask for a coke at four o’ clock in the morning and he would ask, “where was so and so?” and “why wasn’t so and so at the evening meeting?”

I checked with Swami Veet Arthen who I know was in the Rajneesh Hotel at the time of the bombing. As he says now, he was the mug who saved the bomber as he bravely rushed into the room where he had blown himself up and extracted him from it, though he did not know that at the time.

This guy is now active as a terrorist trainer in Pakistan, apparently.

To kill sannyasins you don´t need bombs, misinterpretation of their founding father is enough to make them out of circulation.

Who would like to be called murderer by killing someone who is in the old people´s home, just like our faceless Frank?!
Head priest of Osho cult was already a paranoid man, the German Bakery bombing gave him the chance to dig bunkers around his resort.

This is one of the reasons very, very less people even walk on the street leading to Resort, one gets the impression there may be land mines on the Gaza Strip!

Ivan,
It`s possible, but terrorists can also bottle it at the last moment and take an easy way out.

Btw, it`s a good job the terrorists didn`t recruit Shantam as the underpants bomber as they would still be cleaning the place up now!

Perfectly correct, Anand Osokin!

As you clearly state, the bomber showed immense respect and compassion for sannyasins by not blowing them up! As you say, “any sannyasin, according to Osho, should have been watching one of his videos in the Resort.”

Quite right! So any sannyasin, ex-sannyasin or other baboon who was not following Osho`s guidelines and attending White Robe Brotherhood, but was instead lurking around the German Bakery, mixing with the unconscious masses, looking for girls, buying drugs and most likely catching AIDS, deserved to be blown up!

Well, the guy really was respectful to sannyasins if he deliberately avoided targeting the evening meditation.

The Sunni nutcases in Pakistan and other places often blow themselves up in the midst of prayer time in the mosque, where Shia Muslims are gathered. Christians are also targeted when praying together.

I remember that the German Bakery bomb exploded during White Robe Brotherood. As the terrorist had visited the Resort previously, I see this as a form of respect towards sannyasins. The terrorist decided to have the bomb exploding not in the Resort, but in a cafeteria in the surroundings, and during the White Robe Brotherood, that is while any sannyasin, according to Osho, should have been watching one of his videos in the Resort. At that time there were no metal detectors in the Resort and it would have been very easy to put a bomb in the Resort restaurant or cafeteria. But the terrorist decided otherwise.

Things must be getting bad when it appears that Shantam has a point!

I think that any Muslim fundamentalist bomber would consider a blown-up Jew as a success story any day of the week.
I knew of a Muslim cabbie who used to run sannyasins from Mumbai to Pune. A customer of his, a friend of mine, an American Jewish guy who liked to chat extensively to everyone he met, was quite surprised to find that the driver believed that story about 9/11 being set up by Jews.

So there is a considerable vein of anti-Semitism amongst Muslims, even in India. I remember one old mullah I spoke to back in the 70s saying to me that the Jews were bad people because they had invented the atom bomb and given it to the Christians, who had used it. An arguable, if idiosynchratic view of history, for sure, but possibly more common than you might think.

Personally, I`m not altogether surprised that one bunch of guys who think that their God told them to cut the end of their dicks off are battling it out with another bunch of guys who believe that their God told them to chop the end of their dicks off…

It`s hard to imagine how people with such psychotic beliefs could do much better…

You may say that I’m` a cynical bastard -
but at least I`m a cynical bastard with a foreskin.

I don`t know which God I should thank for that.
