Russian news station 1TV.RU reports on March 3, 2013 on the Pope’s resignation, quotes and shows Arjuna in video.
Nivedano … (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano … (Drumbeat) Be silent … Close your eyes … No movement of the body. Let your whole consciousness gather inwards. Deeper and deeper … You are entering into your buddhahood. Without any fear go in, it is your own home. Except knowing this, all knowledge is useless. Except experiencing this
An article by Swami Chaitanya Keerti published on February 1, 2013.
The question is from Gayatri. It is not only you, Gayatri, who is continuously daydreaming; everybody is doing that. Human mind as such is a daydreaming faculty. Unless you go beyond the mind, you will continue to daydream. Because the mind cannot exist in the present. It can either exist in the past or in
Fascinated by the concept of Osho communes that were established over the last three decades, Antar Marc was astonished to find that the public knows very little about their success.
Beloved Osho,
You have mentioned in the past that the witches burned by the Christians knew, among other skills, how to hypnotize. It seems that in ancient Egypt too, hypnosis was practiced. It has even been suggested that Jesus was a skilled hypnotist. Was hypnosis once a respected form of healing? How did it evolve, and how did it fall into disrepute?
It is with a heavy heart that I read about another brutal gang rape by 6 or 7 men of a 29 year-old woman, this time in Punjab. Not much is yet known about the circumstances other than she is believed to have been travelling on a bus back to her village on Friday night.
There was a little polar bear who asked his mother, ” Was my daddy also a polar bear?” “Of course your daddy was a polar bear.” “But,” goes on the little one after a while, “Mommy, just tell me, was my grandfather also a polar bear?” “Yes, he was also a polar bear.” Time goes
“Rape is one of the problems which is not so easy to decide and judge; there are so many complexities,” says Osho.
Only a few weeks ago I penned an article about rapes in rural India, only to read about another gruesome rape that just happened in New Delhi. Delhiites are outraged, understandably so. Women are more frightened than ever to go to work or to even venture out shopping on their own, let alone use public
In this video, ol’ blue-eyes Frank Sinatra’s song ‘I Believe in You’ was mixed with footage of Osho and Rajneeshpuram. It would all fit perfectly had the words ‘I believe in you’ been changed into ‘I am in love with you’! Belief is not what Osho or sannyasins are about. Believing can be likened to crutches, love is flying high and independent!
Nivedano… (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano… (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes… and feel your body to be completely frozen. This is the right moment to enter into your inner world. Gather all your energy, your total consciousness, and rush towards the center of your being. It is exactly two inches below your navel, inside. A great
Q: I got so excited today when you dropped Mahavira, Buddha and Jesus in the wastepaper basket. It was like a breath of mountain air. You gave us a glimpse of yourself that was so intimate and so mischievous. Would you like to play Puck in our next production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream?’
A woman never tells the truth about her age. I have told you that even on the point of a loaded gun you may perhaps become enlightened, but a woman will not reveal her age.
The very aptly named Empty Mind Films company produces most unusual films showing a variety of methods from India, Tibet, China and Japan – from ayurveda to acupuncture, from martial arts to meditation, Tibetan Buddhism, yoga and Zen. Here an excerpt from a film on Zen:
Der Spiegel, the rather notorious German news magazine, continues to misquote and write in a most contorted manner about Osho.
A subject that appears to be firmly embedded in our collective unconscious is the story about a vast island empire that disappeared.
An image of Osho from a Bombay discourse and a quote that went around the sannyas community a couple of years ago, had another recorded strong impact, resulting in taking sannyas. Shahido writes from Australia:
Well-known actor Arif Zakaria writes about his experiences after a recent visit at the Osho Resort in Pune, published on November 13, 2012.
I am not here to fulfill your expectations. If I fulfill your expectations I will never be able to transform you. I am here to destroy all your expectations; I am here to shock you. And in those shocking experiences your mind will stop. You will not be able to figure it out: and that
It is rare to see a photo or a book cover of Osho in any of the Indonesian newspapers or magazines. Last Sunday, there was a pleasant surprise that maybe heralds a new era.
“The buddha is nothing but a door into eternity,
into godliness, into the divine existence,” says Osho.
Q: If I could ask you a question about your past: you spent a year – when you were a student in India – mad; in which you couldn’t formulate a sentence, and you lost your perspective. Is that the time that you were looking for that door?
Prem Fatima, who launched her debut novel ‘In Haleema’s Words’, speaks to Sonia Kurup at Sakal Times about her book and her life experiences that inspired it.
