RE: Shantam’ 5 Euros
Anand Yogi told me that evil British colonizers picked the name ‘Osho’ and our master, being a choiceless-choice-go-with-the-flow kind of guy accepted the name ‘Osho’, explaining that His new […]

“I talked with him many times, sat close to him many times to the point of being very familiar with the scent of the perfumed balm he wore. I often wonder how people became involved with Osho minus such […]

Thank you, Shantam. I looked up “organic” in the OED (3rd edition, September 2004) and found a lot of different definitions. Definition 6a is the one that seems to fit for “organic spirituality”…Definition 6a […]

Whatever happens to the property I think Osho is set to become the next great religious figure in history, like Buddha and Jesus. This is inevitable because Osho programmed a kind of serial deployment of his […]

Putting this site on life support is not dignified. When Parmartha died I suggested letting SannyasNews die. Parmartha had dignity. He did not beg.

Great title for Joan’s latest book: ‘Death: The End of Self-Improvement’.

samarpan commented on the post, This Thing Called Enlightenment, on the site sannyasnews 3 years, 9 months ago
Why not live the present moment fully and simply enjoy life? Each breath is a gift. Why talk about “enlightenment”? Maybe because the ego makes you think enlightenment is somehow special?

Recent research indicates spiritual bypassing may be useful:
“The authors collected a sample (783 participants) from the general population and tested a parallel mediation model in which 2 factors of spiritual […]

Thank you, Madhu, for your beautiful nature-inspired messages! Sun is not shining here but drizzly overcast days have their own intimate beauty.
