Shanti says:
“You can doubt me, think I am imagining or deluded, but ultimately you can only discover these things yourself through your own meditation practice.”

Yawn. You are getting to sound more and more […]

“It`s tantra and Shaktipat.”
“We shouldn`t read too much into it.”

Which is it?
Shanti, you are confused.
And now trying to bring in Swami Brian as back-up?
Omg.
I hear there are some vacant beds at the […]

Anand Yogi writes:
I am reminded of the day when I came across my master Swami Bhorat in the back of his Rolls Royce, late at night cavorting with a couple of Tamil actresses. They were on their knees in front of […]

SD, Yes, it`s standard behaviour repeated with monotonous predictability by gurus of all stripes.
It is no surprise that the defensive ploy of “we unenlightened are not worthy to judge the master” is wheeled out […]

NP,
I think you are right. It certainly qualifies as `Sannyas news`!

Up till now these discussions and revelations have been taking place on mostly private Facebook accounts.

By putting out a podcast and placing […]

This recent online article is addressed “To the Osho community” so I forward it to here for any who might be interested.

I wonder what the punters here make of it and how they might react to […]

Not everybody joined up for the sex but I think Osho did.
It`s part of the whole guru/disciple trip, usually on the quiet.
Of the 20th century, Krishnamurti, Muktananda, Maharishi, Yogi Bhajan, Sai Baba, Trungpa, […]

“I choose to be unenlightened.”
Careful, Satchit, you are sliding into the funniness habit!

I didn`t know she was a parenting adviser, I just came across the poem.
Have you followed her?

I have seen something similar in the streets in Delhi (not on Youtube) where a sadhu got people to ask simple […]

@Scratchit
Thanks for the tip.
I will check into rehab if things get too comical.

Meanwhile, to complete Madhu`s weather forecasts, here is ‘The Laughter Forecast’ by Sue Cowley

Today will be humorous
With some […]

Sounds like Satchit has been giving E to his parrot again:

“Squawk! ‘Eezer Goode ‘Eezer Goode He’s Ebeneezer Goode. Squawk!”

Klaus.
Ouch!

Also available on Amazon: ‘Hammer in my Rocks’, a banging autobiography by Swami Mahabanananda, legendary tantric disciple of Swami Bhorat. He is currently doing a 10-year retreat on VP Wing.

@Klaus
It`s an odd translation.
I imagine ‘Hammer on the Rock’ as being a riff on Freddie Neitzsche`s ‘Philosophising with a Hammer’ ie breaking up preconceptions/fixed ideas etc.

Maybe the German translators […]

@Satchit.
Sounds like you and your parrot have been getting mullered!

@Klaus

Is it really possible or desirable to stop the flow of the unconscious mind?
That is putting the `conscious` mind in a very preferential position.
What or who is this `conscious` mind that is so divorced […]

@Madhu
Thanks for the weather report.
Don`t think it`s Monday tho`.
Take care.

@Satchit

Let`s try to get to the bottom of this.

So, you are slumped on the sofa with a half-empty bottle of Asperger Pils watching an old VHS of Gerd Muller`s greatest goals.

You become aware of the […]

The “no problem for the witness” spiel is such disembodied nonsense.

I bet in reality, old Scratchy was going apeshit and doing his nut and had to quickly break out another bottle of Alzheimer Pils when Bayern […]

@Satchit

For sure, the Wagner piece from ‘Apocalypse Now’ is appropriate!

Colonel Sheela Kurtz, model officer gone bad deep in the twisted jungles of the mind, presiding over her brutal, despotic kingdom in […]

Body and mind, too.

Use it or Lose it
(by A. Buddha)

Meditators try to refuse it,
Spiritual types tend to accuse it,
Intellectuals they overuse it,
Common people try to amuse it,
Charlatans try to confuse […]
