In my reading, most of the well-known gurus have had their own shtick, their own particular way of saying things. There are some that I connect with, some that do nothing for me, but Nisargadatta makes me sit up […]

It was my decision; they told me they were going to take sannyas and asked me if I wanted to as well. Of course I didn’t really know what it meant, for me it was a question of belonging with the family. I was […]

One for Lokesh, perhaps? This long audiobook of Nisargadatta sayings was mentioned in the comments to be “the most important video on YouTube” and it certainly has some impact…

“Why search for other gurus?” is a good question. Some sannyasins do and others do not; I don’t think that continuing to search makes you better. It is something of the heart, whether you want a living master or […]

Thanks, Satchit.
Success and failure is difficult to determine, I think. Is a candle-making sannyasin or a musician less successful than a therapist? We play the game of status, but it’s ultimately an illusion, […]

I hadn’t heard of Jayesh’s death, I hope they gave him a grand send-off. While not everyone agreed with the decisions he made, he nonetheless kept the ship of the Resort sailing.
In a way, the Resort in Pune is […]

Ah yes, no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

So yes, definitely Christian mysticism.

Hmm, he mentions an inner reflection practice called The Ten Stations of the Cross, the Jesus prayer and a couple of books, ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’ and ‘The Way of the Pilgrim’, if that is of any help. It all […]

Yes, that’s right. This morning I was reading the story of a casual friend who is my age, so about 50, but he was brought up as a Catholic. He has a spiritual side so in his twenties he visited a Benedictine […]

Nice song, wamishanti. It carries the vibe of Osho very well.
In a way, what I wanted to say in the article is that Osho doesn’t stand on his own. In a way, he is a turning point, someone who reinterpreted all […]

Thanks for the kind words, Simond. Nityaprem means ‘eternal love’ and I’ve often wondered whether Osho saw that in me or whether he meant it as a pointer.
My life is humble, yet comfy. I won’t go into too much […]

So how do we see psychedelics in the context of spirituality? Osho was negative about it, but for many people in South America the Ayahuasca tea is central to their religion, and there have been scholars who have […]

Nityaprem commented on the post, The Quality of Sannyas News (Or: Was the Past Better?) by Satchit, on the site sannyasnews 6 months, 2 weeks ago
I would say that the level of comments has everything to do with the general readership. Intelligent people like Klaus, SimonD and Dominic don’t stick around for long because there isn’t a crowd of people […]

Lokesh said, “To love one does not need marriage, but to love and meditate you need a certificate of Name Change.
Spiritual Scam of 20th Century.”So do you think controversy will draw viewers and commentators to […]

So we need to become extraordinarily ordinary? Or something even less sensical.
I saw that South Africa won the Rugby World Cup; there is heroism in sport, but where is your chance to catch the eye as being just […]

Well, he was talking about Pythagoras, and the ancient Greeks had some funny ideas about heroism.
Personally I always saw myself as vaguely heroic, I used to play Dungeons and Dragons when younger and that was […]

Lokesh said: “It is easy to say that when you have money and are not dying.”
I came across this…
“You can become very famous – it is very easy. You can have political power – it does not need much intelligence. […]

It seems to me that psychedelics often change what people consider important: look at the ‘flower power’ movement when lots of people took LSD and ended up going to India or taking a huge road trip or indulging in […]

It’s best to do what comes up in you and not to worry too much what others think.
