‘Totally wild and absolutely free’ is a track from Miten and Premal:
NP, if you think that sannyasins are going to start adopting Buddhist principles and rules, well, forget it. […]

Osho did also encourage periods of celibacy in certain individuals if he considered it helpful for them.
From Patipada’s account of the period at the castle with Osho in New Jersey:
“Two days later, I was […]

I have also found conservation of sex energy useful for meditation, Nityaprem, and healthy.
As far as Gautama the Buddha was concerned, he appears to have taken the traditional vows of celibacy when he became a […]

A book I enjoyed was ‘In the Eye of the Hurricane – the Inside Story of a Disciple’s Journey’, by Devakant, Osho’s bodyguard.
Another guard, Buddha, is said to be currently writing a book, according to his loveosho podcast.

I don’t know which books you’ve read on SSB, SD, but the couple of spiritual books I’ve read, which feature stories of Satya Sai Baba, actually have accounts from only Westerners.
The only Indian accounts I’ve […]

Christianity, and its offshoot Islam, and Buddhism (at least non-tantric forms of Buddhism) preached abstinence from sex. At least the later forms of these religions.
Nevertheless, the founder of Islam himself […]

Nityaprem,
Osho’s reputation in India as the ‘sex guru’ was absolutely nothing to do with any rumours of Osho having sex with his disciples as Hugh Milne implied.
Actually, the yellow press coined the phrase […]

It was Paritosh who told me about this site. That was back in 2000, and the site was really very different indeed.

I don’t bear any grudges towards Hugh Milne. I felt sorry for him that he got the doubts he did, but I have no resentment towards him at all. At least he had his catharsis and got his anger out, whereas other […]

I have already read it, NP, many years ago. And I also know that he worked as an agent for the US authorities and Tom Casey, the chief of the INS, in charge of the mission to get Osho deported and Rajneeshpuram […]

I don’t doubt that Osho was having sex with some of his female disciples, for me that has not been an issue. As we discussed before, he was very open about that, even telling the world press in Oregon. There were […]

Back to the thread topic.
The greatest principle of Sufism is: ‘Ishq Allah Ma’bud Allah’. (God is love, lover, and beloved).

No, they were not all from India , SD.
Actually there were similar reports from around the world of manifestations of vibhuti on photos , and other stories of bilocation and healings, spiritual guidance, etc. -

There were actually multiple accounts of Sai Baba bilocating, performing various ‘miracles’, and reports of healing. Many of his devotees reported vibhuti miraculously appearing on their photos of SB in their […]

NP, I have not taken Erin’s story seriously at all.
I mentioned it because it seems like a big deal to you, and how you perceive Osho.‘Erin gate’ has finished. Perhaps someone nwill point out errors in how […]

Apparently, Stephen Turoff was inspired by meeting Sai Baba and after becoming a healer had several ‘visitations’ from Sai Baba in his clinic.
This is the same psychic healer that Satyadeva went to see.
Turoff […]

NP, your ‘tombstone exercise’ sounds interesting.
Tantrics have traditionally meditated on and fully accepted both death and sex.
Acceptance and awareness of death can be helpful to recognise the transitionary […] -

Dominic,
There were lots of stories of Sai Baba oiling people’s balls.
According to some of the accounts, Sai Baba demonstrated that he was able to morph his genitalia, from a phallus into a vagina. Apparently, […] - Load More
