Frank, I guess he had to chuck in some smut to spice the story up. Subhuti was one of the least sexy guys in Poona One. He wasn’t even gay.

Did Subhuti really say that stuff about Osho “sexually stimulating women who had blacked out” for energy purposes?

I know it was ‘The Sun’ and what their rap is, but they did put it in quotation marks.

Maybe Samarpan can tell us, as presumably he has read it, seeing as how he is raving about it?

You´re misinformed, Lokesh (re/at 8:56 am today) and more of that, you seem to be stubborn and in favour of inventing stuff, just to perform in your way a ´Lion´s Roar´.

Well, no way at the moment, I´d say, to investigate YOUR bricks ´in the wall´…you also, like the rest of us, have to do it yourself….

I was discussing Subhuti with a friend the other day. We both remembered him as a pretty uninteresting character in Poona One. Back then he was still riding on having been a journalist in London. He is still touting that over 40 years down the line. So much for letting go of the past.

Samarpan describes ‘Wild Wild Guru’ as An Insider’s Account of His Life with Bhagwan. What kind of insider? Subhuti was not living in Osho’s house or anything like that. He was just another fish in the tank.

Going by the book’s title it is just another attempt to cash in on the popularity of the Netflix series. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with that, but I doubt Subhuti’s insider account will shed light on any subjects relating to Sannyas and Osho that has not already been done before.

As Samarpan says, perhaps others who missed Poona 1 might also enjoy it. Yes, perhaps they might. Good luck with that and good luck to Subhuti with his latest project. My opinion is that the title is such an obvious attempt at cashing in that it will put potential punters off.

Hi Madhu, watched a couple of episodes from the series. Not really my cup of tea. Now about those magic love potions you’ve been selling to shoppers on Maximilianstrasse….

Hi Samarpan,
Seems to me that Subhuti Anand (in that Interview of the SUN, London) is kind of back to his former career as a sensational political reporter (about the British etc.) and is taking a new, ´updated´ round in this way – now re Sannyas communal Affairs.

That´s the reason I wouldn´t recommend his book – especially his professional way of launching it as very valuable material re information about the movement as such.

So – maybe better if you benefit by taking the read as one of the manifold, very subjective descriptions re the writer Subhuti himself and his particular way of story writing, to make himself known and ‘refresh some old contacts’, his media-contacts (past and present).

However, the very points you find yourself ´hooked’ into (as I like to say) in the stories you read now are, I’d suggest, points in your own unique life (-stories), to invite for further investigation.

Take care as a reader, Samarpan; take care of yourself.

Best wishes,

Madhu

Innocence is your nature.
Even when it is cloudy, one knows that the sun is still there. Same is with innocence.

It seems no one has chased so many masters as people once initiated by Osho or on his behalf.

It is a kind of success story of transformation, longing and thirst!

Maybe you would like to listen to Margret Atwood´s Interviews*, Lokesh, that she has been giving on the topic of religion and talking about her book: ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’.

Your few lines at 9:10 pm reminded me of that talk, some help how to ‘cope’ with outrageous projections like those you liked to offer, adressing me this evening.

*You´ll find it on the Net.
