This original composition, sung in Urdu, ‘Mere Hamdam’, was sung by Ma Amrit Priya and Ma Amrit Sadhana and recorded live after Osho’s last but one discourse, ‘The Zen Manifesto: Freedom from Oneself #10′ on 09-04-1989, pm, at Gautam the Buddha Auditorium, Pune:

“Mere Hamdam, Mere Dost, Mere Sathi, Mere Meet,
Mere Hamsafar, Mere Geet, OSHO…!” (my heart, my friend, my companion, my friend,
my fellow traveller, my song OSHO…!).

Can be listened to here, with Osho’s last words of the talk included:

Almost every week in 1989, mostly on Saturday (not always) evening, Indian musicians used to play and sing before and after Osho discourses as Osho was entering and leaving.

Sw Yashwant Dev was the team leader of Indian musicians. The team included Ma Amrit Priya, Ma Amrit Sadhana, Swami Rajendra Bharti, Swami Jagdish Bharti, Swami Manish Vyas and many other friends who accompanied.

According to this scientist, the particular species in question doesn’t want to fully reveal their presence here yet, because it doesn’t think are ready.

And of course, the US government wouldn’t want to either, certainly as they would have to admit that they had signed agreements to allow these beings to experiment on their own citizens without their consent, as well as hiding the whole thing for years, as well as decieving the public with their own space programme.

Whether this particular Professors claims are true or not , their have been various other whistleblowers who have worked in various government agencies , a couple who have worked in Area 51 and claimed to have witnessed different types of crafts in hangars there with anti-grav technology.

I know that governments always have certain technologies , not necessarily extraterrestrial in origin of course , that they are keen to keep secret.
As soon as I heard that Trump had caught Covid 19 and gone into hospital last year, I knew that the worlds most powerful government would manage to bring him out of it ok, even though he was in the ‘at risk’ category. And he was released very quickly , within just a few days.

There have been claims that President Eisenhower met with several extraterrestrial races, some of whom were concerned about the use of atomic weapons. And many other stories and theorists.

And last year the US military officially released some footage of what they claimed was ‘authentic’ ufo saucer activity.

Perhaps they’re trying to slowly prepare the public.

UFO sightings are nothing new, of course. Whilst certain Wikipedia writers (probably ones working on behalf of the US government) have been keen to point out in the narrative that some of the close encounter and abduction claims to seem to likely be the product of fantasy, suggestibility , or inspired by science fiction movies, and claim as the in reality their have been sightings of UFO’s and spacecraft , plus claims of close encounters with otherworldly beings , since antiquity.
5,000 year old Aboriginal cave paintings of the ‘Wandjina spirits’ appear to depict alien visitors, which were believed to have come down and visited the earth from the Milky Way and created humans during ‘dream-time’ . The cave paintings ,of which there are many , do look very similar to some of the more recent common depictions of et’s that have emerged in the last century, the large heads, big black eyes , slim bodies etc.

Whilst thousand year old Vedic literature describe flying crafts which were used in warfare and which were said to be able to fly into the earths atmosphere, as well as outer space and other planets.
There are also other myths from other ancient cultures of ‘sky gods’ who visited the earth who were also time travellers.

In the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, archaeologists have found hieroglyphs that resemble the UFOs that are described in sightings up to the present day. Centuries later, we have the pre-Columbian gold artefacts found in Central America, which appear to be perfect models of flying crafts. Later, in the medieval period, there was an abundance of art produced which appear to depict UFOs in the sky.

And lots of sightings of space ships were recorded by historians in the classical period of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.

And in there were reports of celestial phenomenons in the sky in 1561 over Nuremberg and again in 1566 there were reports from citizens of Basel in Switzerland.
In 1668 in the Levoča Chronicles, the Levoča Hungarian Kingdom (Present-day Slovakia) , the chronicler describes a silver flying object in the sky.

Meanwhile in the 1800’s, there were reports UFO’s in Japan, Mexico and the United States, with numerous reports sightings of ‘mystery airships’ and attempted abductions that took place in a 2 year period around 1896-1897.

In 1909, strange moving lights and some solid bodies in the sky were seen around Otago and elsewhere in New Zealand, and were reported to local newspapers.

In the 1940’s , small metallic spheres and colourful balls of light were repeatedly spotted and occasionally photographed worldwide by bomber crews during World War II. These became known as ‘Foo Fighters’.

18 files released in 2010, by the MoD and the National Archives, via the Freedom of Information Act, include a wartime account claiming prime minister Winston Churchill ordered a UFO sighting be kept secret to prevent “mass panic”.

The files also include an account of a wartime meeting attended by Winston Churchill in which, it is claimed, the prime minister was so concerned about a reported encounter between a UFO and RAF bombers, that he ordered it be kept secret for at least 50 years to prevent “mass panic”.
According to Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFO sightings for the MoD, apparently most of the wartime files of UFO sightings have been destroyed.
“But what happened is that a scientist whose grandfather was one of his [Churchill's] bodyguards, said look, Churchill and Eisenhower got together to cover up this phenomenal UFO sighting, that was witnessed by an RAF crew on their way back from a bombing raid.
“The reason apparently was because Churchill believed it would cause mass panic and it would shatter people’s religious views.”

And if you look into it, you will find a much more.

Whatever the case may be, none of any of this is going to help us to relax into our lives right here and now, help us with our meditation or enlightenment, or get us wherever we want to be.

Unless you want to devote all your spare time to trying to interact or channel types of advanced extra-terrestrials or researching conspiracy theories.

Ah, hang on a minute…I almost forgot that this is sannyas news, not ‘alien news’.
Well, there is quite a bit going on in Sannyas around the world, lots of interesting love Osho podcasts chats, online meditation events, new zoom chats and interviews with various long-time sannyasins, some on YouTube, and the other day I discovered this video from July 1998 Masters Day Guru Purnima live Kirtan performance in the Osho commune International in Pune.

Not new sannyasnews, but featuring bhajans sung by Swami Yashwant Dev, Ma Amrit Sadhana, and Osho’s brother Shailendra’s pretty young wife, Ma Amrit Priya:

Quite a scene, then. I’m sure George Harrison would’ve enjoyed it.

“In 2012 I heard Swami Yoga Chinmaya say to me, “Bodhicitta, you are past the point where you can no longer make the mistakes that Somendra and people like him have made. In the fourth body many psychic powers become available and they can enchant and divert you for lives.”

I recall Osho saying Somendra was his Judas. If you review the 97 references to Somendra in the Osho library, a clear picture of the man, his desire for enlightenment, and his betrayal of the master will emerge.

His obit. should educate us disciples, not hypnotise us in the old mistakes of confusing an interesting energy experience with a true growth of awareness.

Like the Lord High Executioner says in the Mikado:

“My object all sublime, I will achieve in time,
to make the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime.
And make each penitent, unwittingly represent,
A source of innocent merriment, of innocent merriment.”

Better luck next time, Somendra.
Anand Bodhicitta.”

The punishment must fit the crime? The Lord High Executioner from Gilbert and Sullivan as back-up? Is this guy serious?

I am not a supporter of Barnett in any shape or form, but the language of punishment and apostasy is weird. Sounds like a member of some Sannyas Taliban!

Trying to use concepts like the `4th body` etc. to back up your opinion, (in this case simply put would be “Barnett was on a spiritual ego trip”) by bringing in a metaphysical system as back-up is always a red flag for me.

I wonder what Arun will do in the Bardo when he encounters, as he inevitably will, the wrathful baboons from the Inner Circle waving their empty gin bottles at him?

I bet you he loses consciousness and ends up being reborn as a right-wing Hindu nationalist.

As with so many matters, it all depends….

An example that springs to mind was your heroic battle a while back against Brian and various brian-damaged members of his mini-cult.

You held your own admirably, certainly passing some quite severe judgments (correctly imv) on most of them along the way.

Did you really do it as a result of your “false self” or because you “found comfort in sentencing them for their “defects” in order to convince yourself of “your own perfection”?

Seems a bit of a harsh judgment in the context, as it came over more like a sane response to me. If anything, probably not `judgmental` enough!

How could remaining `non-judgmental` help in such a situation?
