It was dark when Osho was cremated, so that photo cannot be of Osho’s cremation. I was there that night.

Agreed, Satyadeva. The 1970s in my recollection was a very strange and unpleasant time; the optimism of the 1960s suddently crashed. Nityaprem is too young to appreciate how unpleasant the atmosphere was. Growing […]

Yes, I read Punya’s article carefully and I agree. A particularly egregious illustration is the way Punya writes about Rosalind, one of the survivors.
A man pursued Rosalind for sex although Rosalind […]

Yes, it is powerful and shocking, isn’t it? I watched it twice. I thought it was very professional and well made. Re Osho’s responsibility, I always thought he gave the adults what they wanted.

In reply to: alokjohn posted an update in the group Caravanserai I suspect Parmartha was passing personal information about sannyasin friends and acquaintances to the British security service, MI5. I suspect he was doing this […] ViewThere is more than you realise. MI5 collects info about anti-establishment movements just in case they start doing things that are illegal. They like to collect databases of names, info about the people etcetera, in order that they have something to work with if the movement goes ”rogue” so to speak.

In reply to: alokjohn posted an update Who went to private school? Last summer at Parmartha’s wake, I had this feeling that almost everyone there had been to private school. They had that in common and somehow recognised […] ViewFrancesco, in the UK? I am really speaking about the UK which has an entrenched class system.

Who went to private school?
Last summer at Parmartha’s wake, I had this feeling that almost everyone there had been to private school. They had that in common and somehow recognised each other. Maybe 90 per cent of the people there. This is more than the UK’s judiciary or the BBC. No wonder poor old Osho got murdered. The arrogance of…[Read more]
