I for myself have watched the whole series twice and am hungry for more. The directors have perhaps done a good job in trying to be impartial but still I feel that this is a case of selective presentation of facts and history. The documentary fails to cover some very important aspects of the whole story. The way Osho was inhumanly treated and prosecuted by the state against its own laws and constitution should also have been presented.

Also, I wonder if there would have been a big difference had someone else other than Sheela been Osho’s secretary at that time.

Do you want me that I also give you permission that you can give sannyas?

Is he a false flag, playing the role of the ‘worst’ enemy, the best friend of the Resort?

I don’t know that, Lokesh, apart from his articles I shared only a few jokes in the Commune sauna with him.

A psychiatric diagnosis requires more work than an ethical/aesthetic judgment, but I can try a counterfactual.

Edward Abbey

If it is true that at the Ranch there was a structure and a despotic climate, those who were aware of this, remaining far from Oregon, proved to be wiser at that time and should be more balanced today than those who suffered that fascism.

“It is better to be deceived hundreds of times than to live a life of suspicion.”
C. H. Spurgeon

But if there was not all that fascism at the Ranch, or if it was there but did not disturb the climate of celebration and general trust, then the paranoids of that time and the unbalanced ones of today should be others.
