Hi

I was wondering from very long time in life who is this guy, OSHO, who have answers to all of our Psychological problems. And he answer every question to its peak and depth to reality. But be careful while reading his books, because he is so rebellious you might gain many enemies around you, if you dont take his words just for your unique being.

I read two of his books before I was BK and also I read his speeches on internet time to time. In my opinion he was God sent to treat any ignorant being.

Tragedy about his death, said by his followers is ,American Govt., while Ronald Regan was president, given him poision fearing mass Christians in US are joining his movement. Also all religious fundemantalist from Hindus, Muslims fear about him as danger to their religion. Thats why he was even banned from his own country,India, to live. Auatralian Govt., have not even allowed him to step in their country and sent him back from the airport itself.

For his wonderful answers, which touching your inner being, to few of your day to day problems, look into this link.

thanks

Dear Wahl

I too not sure about his stories. But his answers on human pshycology and its solutions are fantastic. They just get you out to core reality.
Anyways the particular story that you read is some thing that I have even seen in BBC program. There is grave of very ancient, in kashmir, which says that it belongs to Jesus. And it is still there.

However Osho tells many other stories that usually don't have any proofs. Thats why I dont understand who could be this man. But his books are very interesting and marvellous, especially his Spiritual meanings, though he has his own beliefs.

thanks

Dear Satish,

I actually met one of his followers in college (in the eighties) she was trying to woo our professor who taught ethnic studies via the Native American point of view (spirituality). I remember the gal was in full uniform (orange) and she was dead set on capturing him as he had a following of sorts (students).

When we asked about her after seeing her waiting outside the class room for many days, I recall him saying something like: “Learn to think for yourself, question everything and don’t follow blindly.” Then he said something cheeky as to his motivation for him continuing to entertain her. If you recall OSHO’s early years you can figure that one out. Once they (several other joined her) figured out that he was a leader and not a follower they left.

Also, keep in mind that any association with such a group will lead to an entry in the FBI’s watch list given that they use the group as a case study for teaching purposes for obvious reasons. Please see the link below.

I hope this helps and take care.

Regards,

Tete

Dear Tete

You have got nice link of him. I know him just from his books and some links on internet. The link you have given says some thing different on him. However his followers, whom I met once, have other words to say. But anyways his books are very nice to read.

The important point is his knowledge is vast and is definitely refreshing.

Anyways I think we can't believe any one in this world who are extra ordinary. I never shown interest in him much because I never seen single follower of him who claimed that he/she has enlightened like him. Smile

thanks

I heard a simialr story about Jesus but that he escaped and went to England!
Hence the song 'Jerusalem'. The story also goes that he married Mary Magdelin who was the original 'Holy Grail' (a person and not a goblet).
Never heard the India story.

However, teh Christians claim taht after he rose from the dead he ascended into heaven to be with his father. Of course the Muslims claim that Mohammed also rose into heaven. I take 'heaven' to mean the sky. Just what exactly a spiritual being woudl do up there is anybodies guess since there is just empty space and other planets etc.!
