Anyway, Ma Divyam Sonar, are you basically from Nepal or Russia?

How does it affect their relationship with Osho, because that is what Sannyas is about, and not about what Jayesh or Mr Tanner (whoever that may be!) are doing.

Hippies around the world were dismayed and shocked when Osho started collecting more and more Rolls Royces and ditched his simple white robe and began wearing his new extravagant costumes, including diamond-studded hats.

He may have been inspired by the designer suits of Michael Jackson, who indeed claimed to have had a vision of a man with a long white beard appearing alongside him at one of his concerts and dancing alongside him, waving his hands in rhythm with his music.

“Better dead than red” became a local slogan,as the Rajneeshee presence angered the locals, whilst US officials complained of sannyasin couples making love in the open when they visited the emerging city of Rajneeshpuram.

Meanwhile, up in the hills, several sannyasins started discovering ecstasy, the ‘love drug’, a chemical compound synthesised by a Dr Shulgin, that opened the heart chakra without any meditation. Several clandestine labs were set up around the globe, several smuggling operations were thwarted and some folks did jail time, and one guy got busted and spent some time in prison where he claimed to have got enlightened (Satyam Nadeen).

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, Sheela went crazy on a mixture of power and powerful drugs, and concocted a plan to shoot Osho`s doctor, Devaraj (Amrito) in the face, and drive off, but later the plan was changed to injecting him with adrenalin, a plan that was attempted with a needle in the bum but failed, fortunately for the doctor, who lived to tell the tale.

Sheela also designed a crazy plan to dig a tunnel under Osho’s house, which led to a secret trapdoor where someone could pop up and clandestinely dispose of Vivek (Osho’s caretaker) with chloroform and lethal injection, as well as Devageet (Osho`s dentist).

Sheela still claims that Osho knew about these plans, and some of her gang believed this, including her claim in 1985 that she had a stash of video recordings of her meetings with Osho in Germany, in which she discussued all of her plans with him. Mysteriously, these videos never materialised.

At some point, a wealthy Canadian, Swami Jayesh, came on the scene and spent time close to Osho, including during his arrest and world tour.

Later, during Osho`s “fuck, my bones are in pain and churning in the stomach and shit, my hair’s falling out and fuck, I think I`ve been poisoned” phase, Osho spent a lot of time with Jayesh during the last year of his life, made him the chairman of his `Inner Circle`, including meetings that sometimes took place in the middle of the night, where Osho would ask for a Diet Coke and discuss the running of his commune after his departure.

But how much of what Osho discussed with Jayesh has been implemented since 1990, and what were Osho`s instructions?

Madhu

Small is the world, isn´t it? The exquisite performance to show up with the rediscovered great ´love´ for any compatible small family constellation is amazing as well.

´Irish´ administration of some ´pots´ in so far very much compatible too, as for some ´Begorra!´ businesses it´s an almost convenient tax-free area.

Amazing, indeed.

Some kids will laugh, some not.
But a fabulous funny pic you chose!

Mr. Jayesh is passionately involved with these two aspects.
What about human resources?
Disciples are supposed to be the most important part of the master-disciples-Existence paradigm. This human spirit has been totally ignored as if Jayesh is the only healthy one among the dysfunctional family.

Anyway, one can ask what Osho Foundation International is going to do in UK?
Spreading Osho´s words?
Will OFI UK get volunteers like Jehovah the Witness standing at the entrance of tube stations with Osho titles in hand?
