The mystery of this spiritual life is that things change, appearances deceive, what seems true one day is irrelevant and useles the next. It’s a personal, subjective experience, an unfolding, and it can make no […]

Parmartha, in your experience, as you describe it, Paul Lowe was avaricious etc. and preyed on the rich. I seem to remember that Osho was rather a good one for preying on the rich as well; I guess Paul Lowe must […]

I wonder what this fascination with the history of Osho, the Ranch, Sheela and her motivation is all about? Why are some so interested or concerned with the rights and wrongs of the past?
History may be fun, […]

Oh, Lokesh, this is fun, a scrap! A great example of how 2 masters can never quite agree as to how and what to teach. Thanks for confirming my argument!

Further reading the book ‘I Am That’ leads me to these judgements:
1. The chap is enlightened.
2. Poor man had to suffer a lot of intellectual questions from spiritual seekers, for whom he had no clear answers.
3. […] -

A lovely article, Lokesh. I don’t know the book at all, but have glanced at it in the past hour or so. I’ll have a more detailed look later.
My experience is that that teachers find it difficult to agree, or […]

Well, Lokesh, no wonder you are so unenlightened! Surely you should know that if you do your regular vipassana or kundalini, our beloved Master (never born, never died) would look down on you and provide his […]

Why is it self-evident that “she (Sheela) was actually under the control and influence of Puja?”
Have I missed something? -

Thanks, Parmartha. Generous as ever. It has been very helpful for me to see how stuck many spiritual types are (me too!) with ideas that they have borrowed or got stuck with.
The question about “Awarenes” in […]

Parmartha,
With your gentle ditty you imply that Richie will need another life, without bat and ball.
May I suggest you are presumptuous? What makes his love of bat and ball any less than your love of Osho?
My […]

I attended one of her meetings once. She was sweet, but it was reminiscent of an Andrew Cohen talk, with little or nothing to do with living and a great deal with over-introspective navel-gazing. Such is the way […]

Lokesh,
I assure you I ain’t into flattery and I don’t want anything, but you have a depth and understanding and you explore and explain intelligently. Where praise is felt, I give it and I suspect you will make […] -

Lokesh is on song again. I can’t add anything to his most intelligent of posts.

Nice one, Lokesh. How do you get an exit card from this world?

simond commented on the post, From Zorba the Greek to Zorba the Buddha, on the site sannyasnews 9 years, 2 months ago
Yes, it’s a beautiful sentiment, this marriage of Zorba and Buddha. The idea that by living life in ‘a total way’ on the outside, we also discover the meaningless and emptiness of the outer world, and go in.
I […]

Agree with Frank. Let Mr Arun clean the place up and forget all about doing dynamic or Om’s.

Samarpan,
Of course there are social events, festivals and meditation camps under the banner of Sannyas all over the world.The movement may indeed be growing in numbers, or not, with new initiates, as you […]

Rather than see that there is a division between western or Indian sannyasins, I’d suggest that there is no such thing as a sannyasin today. It’s an outdated notion, with its roots primarily in India, and […]

As usual, Lokesh, your post is a good one.
But I wonder if you are right about the inconsistencies and contradictions in Osho’s writing and life are that big a deal.
Whilst Ramana Marhashi may have been […]

Dear Satyadeva,
Methinks you worry too much.
Osho still attracts many people, even if it is a passing phase on their journey.
With so many books and videos available, newbies can pick and choose from a vast […]
