I know Arnhem quite well…that is the Dutch city which manufactures the most tough guys per head of population in Holland. A Dutch Glasgow, so to speak.

Given the misunderstanding you are definitely now a candidate for choosing your own name, if as it seems you dont like Martin! Maybe there is a Sanskrit translation for a “Vegan who eats cheese”! I even once thought you were a fruitarian when I knew you back in the eighties, but do correct me if [...]

Parmartha commented on the blog post Osho Foundation skips dates with Charity Commissioner 12 years, 5 months ago
This all seems to be political chess by some Indian Sannyasins. They basically want to take over the Resort (Ashram) and spread rumours and stories convenient to their cause. Okay, so maybe Osho International has changed it’s mind, they should be pleased as it was this “sale” that they seemed so implacably opposed to. Let [...]

Chetna: Osho did leave some instructions as to how to progress his work. Unfortunately they never reached the public domain. However one of the instructions may have been that they should not reach the public domain! In his life he was always changing things, and old sannyasins are uniform about the fact that many things [...]

This might interest readers, Osho predicting the sort of computers that Steve Jobs produced.

Parmartha commented on the blog post Violence in the UK: Osho’s View 12 years, 5 months ago
It may be a surprise to commentators here, but Osho was briefly a supporter of Gandhi and the Indian independence movement. Part of what he says here sounds like something from 1946/7 when biographers say he was most closely aligned to that. I dont buy the stuff about karma for the Brits just cos they [...]

Sarovara writes how sannyas name giving procedures were suddenly changed by Osho International…. sometime in the past decade…. you were to choose your own name…. He says: ” Then came the time when it was decided that people could choose their own sannyas names. I was invited along to a meeting with Amrito for Osho Centers and [...]

Alok and others go on about better sites, one is also UK based called:
Yep, lots of middle brow articles of mediocre standard, but not a single concession to interactivity.
So what do those folk like Pennie, etc who often criticise SN say when they confront another news site who is too scared to even have a free…[Read more] -

Sannyasnews is run by two guys in London with what ever time we have to do that. it is has no comercial interest, we do so, so sannyasins past or present, of what ever flavour can express their views and talk to one another. If some times you have to wait for a comment to appear its because we have other areas of our lives that need attending to.

More Mysteries from Osho International ! After making a controversial application to the charity commissioner in Mumbai, to “gift” valuable property valued at more than Rs8 crore to an obscure trust in Delhi, representatives of Osho International Foundation (OIF) have failed to show up at two hearings conducted by the charity commissioner’s…[Read more]

Osho says, ‘And all that old nonsense of being cultured and civilized is already disappearing; the barbarous reality is showing its face. This is going to happen almost everywhere, for different reasons.’ Unfortunately I think he is absolutely right.

sannyasnews wrote a new blog post: Violence in the UK: Osho’s View 12 years, 5 months ago
Sannyasnews is largely a UK based site. So we thought to give an airing, given recent social uprest, to Osho’s answer in 1985 to UK problems, has anything changed? Or is his view too simplistic here? Beloved Master, For centuries the British Bobby, with no gun, only a small truncheon, has been a symbol of the respect for law [...]

I find the time lag with comment posting on the recent articles to be a hinderence to free flow. I understand that some peoples’ comments need to somehow be moderated if they come in Sufi avalance, catharsis style, but for the most part it is a nuisance and stops the vibe on a thread being kept alive as opposed to going extinct too quickly.

bouncing up and down on your ass in a padded cell and pretending you`re “yogic flying” is more of a crowd puller than dressing up as a fancy dress holy man and livin it large and doing what thou wilt (with awareness)…
it`s a funny old world.
