“What Shanti misses is that the Sannyas movement was an experiment and experimentation involves making mistakes and things going wrong, as they often did.”
This key fact seems so often to be forgotten or ignored […]

“If some younger women have complained about their ex-lovers on a private Facebook group, some men felt genuinely bad about it and apologised, or just apologised because their ex felt upset…”
And/or perhaps […]

Haha, yes, wonderful from ‘the Big Yin’!

Yes indeed, Shanti, but so what, are you really so naive? All that is grist for the mill for a predator.
I was at the Ranch only for the summer festival in ’83, but I’ve heard things from one or two people who […]

The issue isn’t about women, it concerns teenagers, Shanti.
And my point about the tantric texts is however respectful towards women and positive towards sex they are, they can readily be used to manipulate the […]

Yes, Shanti, of course it depends on individual circumstances, not all such liaisons are going to be exploitative. Yet quoting ages of consent isn’t good enough, it’s still a flawed way to attempt to lessen cases […]

But whatever might be the truth of Osho’s sex life, it was all a device though, surely?

That would be quite a change then from the perspective he’d held for many years, summed up by his response to a question on where he stood re Osho: “I am neither for him nor against him.”

Apparently, the vast majority of ‘enlightenment’ happens at death. So the living ones who are truly ‘enlightened’ must be relatively few and far between, though many who have various ‘realisations’ along the way […]

The scholars, followers and critics might carry on debating the originality and authenticity of Osho’s words for eternity, while missing the presence, the consciousness, the vastness, the courage, the love, the […]

Yes, maybe there’s no such thing as ‘enlightenment’ but from what I’ve heard there are plenty of ‘realisations’, including there’s no death (and a load of others that I’m unable to recall at this moment, lol).

From what I’ve heard, the ‘newly enlightened’ require an often fairly lengthy period of integrating the implications of their realisation in their day-to-day lives. It seems a key factor might be that “there are […]

I’m surprised it’s taken so long for you to realise this, NP, especially as you grew up around Osho at the Pune ashram.
Although it sounds as if you really do know this now, 100%.

Simond, it’s another instance of Veet F’s fertile imagination.
Yes, good to see you here again.

Veet, playing the disingenuous card really doesn’t suit you, lol.

You’ve just provided a pretty good precis of what’s driving you here, Veet F. There’s just no truth in these claims, you’re creating such drama from so little, essentially fighting imaginary enemies.

Well, frankly I wouldn’t expect any other response from you, Veet. Perhaps you’d have preferred if I’d said absolutely nothing as then you could have really indulged your apparently insatiable appetite for […]

It’s not an email, I put it up at the Caravanserai, 2 days ago:
“Veet, this post will be put up after others have made a few comments. Lokesh’s effort doesn’t deserve to be greeted with such mean-spirited negativity.”

As I understand it, Satchit, Lokesh improved threads by transferring relevant posts from other discussions.

Read Lokesh’s words more carefully, Satchit. It doesn’t necessarily follow that he’s created anything misleading or dishonest. If he had, then I doubt he’d have announced what he’d done so openly, thus setting […]
