You’re right to say that many of the greats had no guru, but a lot of people from the 1970s did end up with gurus like Osho. So perhaps there is another path, for those who are not so great but who recognise the […]

Dominic said, “I’ll just take ‘friend’, ‘Life’ and ‘everything is my guru’, that’s enough for me.”
An admirable aim. But when you say “everything is my guru” you take on board a lot of crap, the world at large is […]

I was just reading some posts on another forum about Osho’s meditations, and there it was said that the active meditations worked on the body-mind complex, that it was basically impossible to separate body and […]

Exactly — “nice when they align”.
Because then you have a friend you could talk to about spiritual matters. And thats one of the things that made the commune special, that everyone you met (more or less) was a […]

I was doing the Nataraj meditation this morning, I noticed while doing the dancing how stiff and tense I was. It’s a good meditation for regaining fluency.
Do you still do Osho’s meditations from time to time?

For me, the idea of a spiritual friend is someone who is not just a friend, but also someone on the spiritual path. Someone with whom you can share the extraordinary things that sometimes happen in meditation. […]

Perhaps it is a bit of a stretch to call Osho a “friend and a family member” but his discourses were aimed at all of us, the people sitting in front of him in the Buddha Hall. You could say we know him through his […]

People’s experiences of the inner world vary widely, Dominic. What’s true for me may not be true for you, and vice versa.

Satchit doesn’t really make points, he just watches the sunset in text form.

So, do you relate to him through books, Satchit? Do you read Osho’s words, or listen to his discourses, and which series?
Or do you feel his presence “working on you”? The people who feel they are sensitive […]

No, but we might have to pay more to keep the site alive, because of all the bandwidth these visitors consume….

That’s me out then, I have quite a large brain and a 146 IQ. Although these days the mind is remarkably empty.
Tell me, are Sannyasinauri feathered dinosaurs?

Very funny, “sannyasinauri from the cretinaceous period”. I like it, can I be a Sannyasinaurus Rex?
But it’s true that Osho talked a lot about sannyas and what it meant, the ‘friend’ episode was only the most […]

Dominic said, “Going to another country, and provoking and insulting your hosts and their traditions, is a pretty dumb move, I would say. You reap what you sow.”
Quite correct, Dominic.

You’re not entirely wrong, Lokesh, the idea of the ‘World Tour’ was a bit of a euphemism for a very unsettled time where Osho was forced to move from country to country.
But Osho wasn’t entirely wrong about the […]

Here Osho is saying to Vivek, it’s fine, you can still see me as the master. I can see that he would say that, to her and to the other close disciples who were present. But at the same time it’s a bit of a double […]

I find it hard to entirely agree with Osho on this, my instinct says that each person should be allowed to find their own way. Yes, he is right, it is unnatural and perversion, but at the same time if people are […]

“Seriousness is a disease of the mind. When the mind is no longer there, seriousness has no ground to stand upon. But Indians have respected seriousness very much; it is a long tradition.”

No, Veet, no idea why a post-sannyasin would care at all that other people are still busy with sannyas. If you truly had dropped it altogether, it shouldn’t matter to you one way or the other…
