What would the stance of the official Osho organisations be on the use of the term ‘Osho’ if, let’s say, Osho’s brother (oshodhara.com) opened a centre in the UK?

So the model went from Teacher (Acharya), to Master (Guru), to Fellow Traveler (Friend).
In fact the model was always ‘Lover’, with all the dynamics, that type of relationship will arouse and invoke. What ‘we […]

It is based on the Sumerian myth of Atrahasis. Damon Lindelof (from Lost) was pondering…What could we possibly find, out-there, to make us stop believing in God? The Engineers was his answer. Nothing new really […]

To me, ‘the commune’ was not ‘a blueprint’ but what happened when a lot of people wanted to be near Him. And then traffic lights had to be put in place, etc.
To call Rajneeshpuram His Magnus Opus is a disservice. […]

While the founder is alive, it’s a cult and after the founder dies, it becomes a religion. Anything can happen while the leader is still around, he might kill all the followers or worse. After the leader dies we […]

Thank God that reference wasn’t seen at the time. We could have ended up with a preserved Osho in our hands.
When bodies are disposed-of too quickly it always leaves a sour taste. Do you feel He had much longer […]

I think I know what you are saying but you make it sound oh, so complicated. Resistance is, resistance to love. Crowley’s suggestion was “LOVE UNDER WILL”. Force (if necessary) yourself to love, and watch the […]

I very much feel that there will be a split between the Western Osho and the Eastern Osho, as it was in His life. I have even heard of recent (Indian) biographies which exclude the USA period.

Everybody wants a piece of Him. And who is to say that our piece is better than their piece? I had to accept that He was very much and Indian (he always appeared to have kept a few Indians around Him … Sheila?) […]
