Caravanserai: 14 years agoA friend just sent me this link and I in turn pass it on. I reckon if you are not moved by this woman’s wonderfully inspirational words you must have a heart of stone.

Caravanserai: 14 years agoAs an afterthought I googled and came up with the following. For a man like Osho to give an accolade like this, ‘Tibet’s greatest contribution to the world.’ is no small thing. Read on. Osho has endorsed that the Tibetan writing, The Bardo Thodol, aka The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which describes in detail [...]

Caravanserai: 14 years agoThe thing about preconceived notions about the death process and putdowns about sacred texts like the Tibetan Book of the Dead etc is that it is all very well saying these things when you are hale and hearty, and in possession of a big fat ego….but usually when you are dying you are very unhealthy [...]

Caravanserai: 14 years agoGood post, Frank, one is left wondering where we would be without the intervention and the antics of the court jester. JC, your comments on the Tibetan Book of the Dead if anything show what a superficial take you have on life in general. Your words are not brave or rebellious but simply steeped in [...]

Caravanserai: 14 years agogosh,there`s not much action around here these days…. enlightenment and its discontents are very quiet… they must be meditating or having a full english with black pudding with the delboy lama.. reminds me of the rubaiyat of omar khayyam: “think,in this battered caravanserai whose portals alternate night and day how sannyasin after sultan in his [...]

Caravanserai: 14 years agoJ C…thanks for the update. I’m a relative newcomer, and therefore did not know about Swami Rajneeshs outing in SN. One thing is for sure, he checks in regular to this site just in case something is said about him, which signals to me that he is a bit of a wally, who is extremely [...]

Caravanserai: 14 years agoAlokjohn, a bar with video screens! I’m shocked. Must say I liked her ‘telephone’ vid with Beyonce and all the dykes in the ladies prison. Has anyone hear seen Breaking Bad?

Caravanserai: 14 years agoActually I have a slight liking for lady gaga. I would not spend money on her music. But I used to go to a bar with video screens and whenever she was on I always watched. There was a funny video where she has a terrible accident and becomes disabled. She is carried out of [...]

The Humaniversity: 14 years ago
Parmartha, you show good judgement in never visiting Leela. I always had a funny feeling about the place when I went.
Jay, I don’t think many sannyasins have advanced degrees, ie masters or doctorates. Quite a few have batchelor degrees, but as you say they do not seemed to have gained much from their education.

Parmartha posted an update in the group
I have never been to the Humaniversity, and never been to Osho Leela (UK), and dont think this is an accident! I have had many opportunities, but something always did not feel right.
I met Veeresh a few times informally in Pune one, and once in a cellar off the Tufnell Park Road when he was trying to turn people on to a new south American…[Read more] -

See the photo in Veeresh article on noticeboard. Very authoritarian
Is V sincere or a crook? Discuss.
For example in the interview ”All businesses are based on profit. We’re not. We’re based on love, friendship, communication, good things. The money comes as a result of that, it’s not our priority.”
But if you decide a group is not for you…[Read more]

Caravanserai: 14 years agoAha! Swami Rajneesh took the bait and half an hour after I published the above comment there he was on Facebook bombarding be with exclammation marks. Which just goes to show our comments are being read and digested by all sorts of fans. Right Swami Rajneesh? How about a few words from you to brighten [...]

Caravanserai: 14 years agoSad, but true. I’ve been following the online adventures of the new clown on the spiritual scene, None other than Osho Disciple Swami Rajneesh….The man has surrounded himself with a bunch of lost souls looking for a master and he fits the bill. He is swaning around having his photo taken with everyone from sexy [...]
