Page:: 11:: 11 Press Conferences Talks given from 20/08/85 to 1/1/86, English Discourse series, 11 Chapters, Year published: Unpublished Content: The Psychology of the Esoteric Talks given from 1972, English Discourse series, 12 Chapters, Year published: 1978 Content: Osho begins from where Western psychology leaves off.
Through this stunning series of discourses he takes the reader beyond Freud and Jung, beyond the Human Potential Movement, to the psychology of enlightenment, of buddhahood. In these talks Osho reveals his vision of a New Man a man who embraces all aspects of his being and the creation of a climate in which that new man can realize his ultimate potential. Osho covers a multitude of subjects in response to questions from seekers: the nature of meditation; sex, love and prayer as the three essential steps to the divine; destiny; why Western youth is attracted to Eastern religion and philosophy; the significance of kundalini yoga; dream psychology and the seven energy bodies. The Razor's Edge Talks given from 25/02/87 pm to 12/03/87 am, English Discourse series, 30 Chapters, Year published: 1988 Content: This book tells a true story. A story of great love and immense trust between disciples and their master as they move together along a golden path which is both dangerous and ecstatic. This path is the razor's edge. 'Osho's position as an important mystic and philosopher is supported by an international following and a host of publications.
His work is that of all great religious leaders, bringing God to man. His lively appeal is jokes, limericks, verse and tales, combined with traditional religious themes.'
Library Journal, USA. The Rebel Talks given from 01/06/87 am to 25/02/87 am, English Discourse series, 35 Chapters Content: A handbook for the man of the future, The Rebel is a comprehensive guide to Osho as a planetary visionary. In his responses to seekers'questions he dissects virtually every institution and traditional belief of society, and proposes a truly radical approach to overthrowing the past in order to make way for the future. A fiery exploration of the essential characteristics found in the authentic seeker葉he rebel. 'Osho is a thoroughly modern man as much at home with Marx and Engels and humanistic psychology as with the mystical traditions of the East. Indeed, he uses Marx and Maslov, Plato and Heidegger, Freud and Beckett and Lenny Bruce, Playboy jokes as well as Zen and Sufi teaching stories, to make telling critiques of political and religious, psychological and sexual orthodoxies.'
Washington Post. USA (James Gordon).
The Rebellious Spirit Talks given from 10/02/87 pm to 25/02/87 am, English Discourse series, 30 Chapters, Year published: 1987 Content: Central to Osho's vision of the new man is what he calls 'the rebellious spirit.' These discourses offer a glimpse into what he means by this way of life, and how he is working with his disciples to bring it about. This book is the very expression of the rebellious spirit vibrant, urgent and courageous. 'His incredible taped discourse lectures and books have inspired me (and millions of others) on the path of self-evolution. He is like a great bell tolling, Awaken, Awaken, Awaken!'
James Coburn, actor Returning to the Source Talks on Zen, Talks given from 11/12/74 am to 20/12/74 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year published: 1976 Content: Zen is an experience, not a dogma, and an experience which transcends the confines of the rational mind, moving into the super-rational arena of our consciousness. Through words, Osho creates a sense of existential silence from which all words manifest. At the same time, he shines the light of understanding on many inner barriers to growth and self-realization. 'Without question the most inspired, the most literate and the most profoundly informed speaker I have ever heard anywhere. Everything he says in his philosophy of life has the unmistakable ring of truth: a new experience.' The Revolution Discourses on Kabir, Talks given from 11/02/78 am to 20/02/78 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year published: 1979 Content: 'Up to man there has been evolution,' Osho says. 'From fish to man there has been evolution.
But from man to a Buddha, from man to a Christ, from man to a Kabir, it is not evolution, it is revolution葉he revolution I call it, the only revolution.' Osho rekindles these ten fiery songs of Kabir, verses which shocked 15th-century seekers. In Osho's hands, Kabir's vision is equally if not more mind-shattering. Rinzai: Master of the Irrational Talks on Zen, Talks given from 23/10/88 pm to 31/10/88 pm, English Discourse series, 8 Chapters Content: Rinzai, who brought Zen from China to Japan, is truly a master of the irrational, a Zen master who sticks his tongue out at one disciple and who created the shout as a device to shock the mind. Osho continually reminds us that it is only a question of time, that everyone is going to become a buddha. He encourages the reader not to believe, but to experience, to have the trust that 'if so many people can become enlightened, there is no reason why I cannot.'
In this small volume he also comments on the timeless paintings in words of the famous haiku writer, Ikkyu. A gem for everyone from the curious to the seasoned seeker. Sat Chit Anand Truth Consciousnes Bliss, Talks given from 22/11/87 am to 06/12/87 pm, English Discourse series, 30 Chapters Content: This mantra is the expression of the ultimate for mystics like Buddha, Socrates and Lao Tzu, for those who are contemplative rather than poetic by nature. Explaining that meditation is the master key, Osho emphasizes the treasures of the inner world, and the urgent need for the quantum leap from mind to being. 'The teachings of Osho, in fact, encompass many religions, but he is not defined by any of them. He is an illuminating speaker on Zen, Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism, Christianity and ancient Greek philosophy.and also a prolific author.'
Satyam Shivam Sundram Truth Godliness Beauty, Talks given from 07/11/87 am to 21/11/87 pm, English Discourse series, 9 Chapters, Year published: 1977 Content: A must for those new to meditation and to Osho's vision, this series of discourses addresses a variety of subjects, in response to questions such as: Why is it so difficult to be in a state of let-go? Are men responsible for women feeling fed up? How can I love better?
What is it to give and what is it to receive? Why do enlightened masters criticize each other? Are there real differences in races? Why am I scared to accept myself as I am? And many more.
'He had provided us a rare insight into our lives and times. He has ridiculed us, pushed us.hurt us, and thereby, made richer human beings out of us. He made us think for ourselves; forced us to reject him, and by that act of rejection, brought us closer to him 預nd in a strange kind of way, closer to ourselves.'
Osho read an enormous amount of books during his life time, all collected into a library in his Ashram in Poona. It′s one of the largest private libraries in the world. A Danish professor, Pierre Evald aka, proficient in library organisation, travelled to Poona several times - in 1989, 1999 and 2001 - in order to study Osho′s library.
On there′s more interesting stuff. More recently Neeten compiled an Osho Source Book,. From the preface: 'OSHO Source Book is a comprehensive study of the formative years of Osho′s life and work with a focus on his reading, book collecting and the dissemination of his message. It covers the years from his early childhood (he was born in 1931) through to his departure from Bombay for Poona in 1974.
Accordingly the biography includes his meetings with various spiritual traditions, his academic years in Jabalpur, his enlightenment and his train rides when he was traveling and lecturing all over India before he in 1970 settled in Bombay. The arrival of the first Westerners who were coming to be near him in the early seventies is also mentioned, and the main emphasis in this bio-bibliography will be on the very early days when his followers were Indians and Hindi the language of his lectures.' Neeten punctures the ′Osho-never-wrote-myth′ in of his. Osho′s manuscripts are now at. Osho painted in the inside covers of books uniquely beautiful artwork, which has been.
The Osho Times of May 1, 1991: Ma Kavisho, Osho′s librarian, has catalogued 900 books in which Osho painted the endpapers and 3500 in which he coloured his signature. Osho′s paintings show an uninhibited playing with vivid colours of transparent ink. His ink pens often leaked through one or more pages of the books, creating an entirely new painting on the subsequent pages: a wonderful collision of colours with words. What a delight to discover in Osho not only the rebel, poet and intellect-par-excellence - but the contemporary artist as well! 'And if a rose need not have a purpose, why should my paintings have a purpose?
They are existential. There is no need for any purpose.' (Osho quoted from I Celebrate Myself) Osho talks about his library and books: Notes:. The well-known writer in May 2008. The copyrights of Osho′s books is claimed by Osho International Foundation (OIF) with offices in New-York.
▲ The Books of Secrets, also called Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, is a Tantric text. Tantra means: tools for transformation. Tantra is composed of two roots: ′tan′ and ′tra′.
′Tan′ is related to the English word ′tangible′ and ′Tra′ is related to the English word ′trowel′. You can see that embedded in the word Tantra is a tangible tool. This is to say, that in the book there are meditation techniques about transformation while in the multi-dimensional reality that includes the physical arena.
Tantra is very practical and with a Tantra practice, you develop a personal toolkit to connect you with the flow of all of life and deepen your relationship with life and with the Divine. The Book of Secrets is a series of talks with commentaries on the 112 meditation techniques given by Shiva to his consort Devi, alternated with question and answer sessions. There is a technique here, Osho says, for every type of man and woman in the world, from the past, present or future. A Few Techniques:. (including the work of the Kashmiri Shaivite Master Swami Lakshmanjoo) Yoga The Alpha and the Omega Another famous series of 10 books is Osho′s Yoga The Alpha and the Omega, based on Patanjali′s sutras. Osho says: We live in a deep illusion - the illusion of hope, of future, of tomorrow. As man is, man cannot exist without self-deceptions.
Nietzsche says somewhere that man cannot live with the true: he needs dreams, he needs illusions, he needs lies to exist. And Nietzsche is true.
As man is he cannot exist with the truth. This has to be understood very deeply because without understanding it, there can be no entry into the inquiry which is called yoga.
The mind has to be understood deeply - the mind, which needs lies, the mind which needs illusions, the mind which cannot exist with the real, the mind which needs dreams. You are not dreaming only in the night.
Even while awake, you are dreaming continuously. Patanjali and Osho are two awakened ones. According to one of the first sutras of Patanjali their words are a source of true knowledge. One of Patanjali′s Sutras reads. The Divine Melody In this series of ten discourses Osho discusses some of the most beautiful songs of Kabir. In one particularly fascinating discourse Osho speaks on the seven chakras, the seven stages through which each individual must pass, and a categorization according to which chakra we function from. Another discourse examines love as 'the only miracle there is,' and relationships.
In addition, Osho answers questions on subjects as diverse as homosexuality, prayer, being oneself, the distinction between ego and individuality, trust, the male and female within each individual, and humanity′s addiction to misery. Philosophia Perennis Osho describes Pythagoras as 'a seeker of truth par excellence,' who lived in Alexandria and was initiated into the mystery schools of Egypt. He then traveled to India, Tibet and China - at that time the whole known world - until he became self-realized. He found the 'Perennial Philosophy' but was persecuted by his own society. The fragments of his teachings were collected after his death and written down by a disciple in The Golden Verses of Pythagoras. In his commentary, Osho expounds on the idea of the East and West as representatives of the brain′s two hemispheres, and on the two Pythagorean laws - of necessity and power. : The Way of the Buddha Osho calls the incomparable Dhammapada sutras of Buddha, 'The Book of Books.'
He explains that these sutras are concerned with every aspect of man′s unawareness, and that Buddha′s whole message is devoted to the raising of our consciousness. To enter into the Dhammapada with Osho is to witness a deep friendship of enlightened masters. These sutras were compiled by Buddha′s disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. Osho′s commentaries on these sutras (in 12 volumes) set the Wheel of Dharma in motion again.
Osho also answers questions from disciples and other seekers in alternate discourses all generously sprinkled with stories, personal anecdotes and, of course, a multitude of jokes. Visually this boxed set is stunning, without doubt a collector′s set, and twelve volumes to dive into for years to come.
Bodhidharma, a disciple of Buddha, was the first patriarch of Zen. The notes collected by his disciples from Bodhidharma′s discourses, contain the essential core of Buddha′s message. Buddha and Bodhidharma are vastly different in their expression of truth. Osho sees Buddha as the silence of a breeze, Bodhidharma he likens to a storm. This discourse series alternates the eminently readable interchanges between Bodhidharma and his disciples, and Osho′s response to questions from his own disciples and other seekers.
In the words of one journalist: 'Just by reading these discourses there is a risk you may be pulverized by their inspiration.' Come Follow Me Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 4 Osho makes a clear distinction between Jesus the rebel and Christianity that followed after him. Through the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John he reintroduces Jesus as man, mystic and uncompromising master filled with love, fire and compassion. As Osho comments on the sayings of Jesus, suddenly what Jesus was trying to impart becomes luminously clear, startlingly relevant.
In Osho′s understanding Jesus has been killed twice - once by the Jews and again by Christians who have smothered his insights with interpretations that have little to do with his teachings. Osho resurrects Jesus, seeing in his words a truth that the reader intuitively feels to be closer to Jesus′ heart than that of any priest. From Sex to Superconsciousness With complete frankness Osho discusses the three stages of sex - physical, psychological and spiritual - and provides guidance on how this raw energy can be transformed into the realization of ultimate consciousness. He explains that when we repress our basic nature, sex takes roots in the unconscious, creating an unnatural obsession. It is this psychic state that has produced much mental sickness and the widespread perversity of society today. ‟Sex is man′s most vibrant energy,″ Osho says, ‟but it should not be an end unto itself: sex should lead man to his soul.″ It′s a translation of the 1968 Hindi book: ′Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Aor′, and added to Osho′s notorious reputation in India. The Book of Wisdom Discourses on Atisha′s Seven Points of Mind Training Atisha is one of the rare masters, rare in the sense that he was taught by three enlightened masters.
It has never happened before, and never since. To be a disciple of three enlightened masters is simply unbelievable - because one enlightened master is enough. But this story, that he was taught by three enlightened masters, has a metaphorical significance also. And it is true, it is historical too. The three masters that Atisha remained with for many years were:. first, Dharmakirti, a great Buddhist mystic. He taught him no-mind, he taught him emptiness, he taught him how to be thoughtless, he taught him how to drop all content from the mind and be contentless.
The second master was Dharmarakshita, another Buddhist mystic. He taught him love, compassion. And the third master was Yogin Maitreya, another Buddhist mystic. He taught him the art of taking the suffering of others and absorbing it into your own heart: love in action. This could happen because all these three masters were great friends. They had started their search together; while they were on the way they had remained together, and when they attained they were still together. Atisha became a disciple of Dharmakirti.
Dharmakirti said to him, 'I will teach you the first principle. And for the second you go to Dharmarakshita, and for the third to Yogin Maitreya. This way you will know all the three faces of the ultimate reality, the three faces of God - the trinity, the Trimurti. And this way you will learn each face from the person who is the most perfect in it.' These are the three ways people reach to the ultimate. (Osho - The Book of Wisdom #1).
Enlightenment: The Only Revolution The original working title of the translation from Hindi was ′The Mahageeta′, but the book was published in 1997 under the title ′Enlightenment: The Only Revolution′ and contains discourses on the great mystic Ashtavakra. Books by Disciples Journey Of The Heart An Autobiography By Ma Yoga Laxmi Laxmi was Osho′s secretary during the years before Osho moved to the United States. She opened the Shree Rajneesh Ashram in Poona on the 21st March 1974.

The Bird Has Flown Ma Yoga Laxmi, Osho′s exuberant secretary who ran the Poona Ashram in the seventies, left her body on January 6, 1995 after a long battle with cancer. Laxmi had been living in Bombay since leaving the commune in the mid-eighties. She told her friend Ma Jyoti that she was tremendously grateful to Osho, particularly for his last message to her. She said, 'I understood that it was time for me to stop putting energy into outer things and to go in.
He knows better than the rest of us what we need. Now the bells have started ringing and the bird has flown his cage anytime and Laxmi is ready for that.' (note: Laxmi often referred to herself in the third person.) Her last day began with listening to an Osho discourse. Shortly afterwards she simply slipped away, her hand on her heart, whispering, 'Osho is here.'
She said that nobody should mourn her, but celebrate her death. Bombay sannyasins celebrated her death with a beautiful kirtan on her birthday, February 12. (From the Osho Times of March 1, 1995) Indigo Adults By Kabir Jafe and Ritama Davidson Kabir is widely known for his pioneering work with energy, the chakras and astrology. He is a psychologist and a transformational seminar leader, and with his partner Ritama leads 'Essence Training' an inner work school, in Frankfurt, Germany.
They live in the Caribbean where they have the Esencia Retreat and Energy Training Center. The New Diamond Sutra By Ma Prem Shunyo Being asked by Osho to write ′The New Diamond Sutra′ Shunyo decides to share her personal journey with the Master, starting in London in the early seventies until Osho leaves his body, and beyond.
Shunyo has a very intimate view. Soon after arriving in Poona, she was asked to join the team of Osho′s personal caretakers and to do his laundry. A beautiful, subjective story, heart-warming, juicy, full of laughter and tears.
At present Shunyo doesn′t only work together with musician and friend Veet Marco, but also offers with her friend Anando Heffly. By Sam Life of Osho reads like a thriller. Widely praised by teachers on the contemporary satsang circuit. Read the book (pdf-format).

What I teach is not how to attain an exalted state, but rather how to uncover something that exists in every being. I have heard enlightenment referred to as being extraordinarily ordinary.

Allah to Zen By Ma Chetan Unmani and Swami Chaitanya Keerti A book of first hand accounts of people who met Osho: Allah to Zen - An Insight into the World of Osho:. The Silent Whisperings of the Heart By Swami Dhyan Giten. Life is like playing hide the key with God. God has hidden the key and now it is up to us to find the key again.
It also takes us a while to realize that the key is hidden in our own heart. The heart is the door to allow life to guide us. The heart is the door to say 'yes' to life.
The heart is the door to surrender to life. Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person, love is a quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, our authentic self, the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. Real love is to realize that we are one with life.
Real love means to understand that we are one with the other person, with nature, with the trees, the stones and with the blue sky. It is to realize that all of life is God. (Giten - The Silent Whisperings of the Heart) Presence - Working From Within By Swami Dhyan Giten.
The most important therapeutic capacity is the ability to be present with an open heart and to be grounded in our inner being, in our essence and authentic self, in the meditative quality within, through which we can meet another person. It is to meet that which is already perfect within a person. (Giten - Presence, Working from Within).

He went in order to help people who did not want to be helped, to give them something they already had.
He irritated them so badly that 99 percent of them wanted him silenced. But the remaining one percent loved him, bowed down to him and thanked him for coming. I am one of those.
This is my story. This is my dance with a madman. I hope you enjoy it.' Tears of the Mystic Rose By Swami Rajneesh A mysterious love story between a master and a disciple. Download the book and other books by Rajneesh.

One U represents the little u. That′s the u that gets up in the morning, brushes its teeth, gets dressed, goes out and struts its stuff! It′s your little local life, you can call it your your self, your I or your me.
Then there′s the other U, which is your big U. That′s the U who exists beyond your body, your mind and the entire world itself. It′s the ultimate U, call it God, Source, Existence, call it what you like!
And that′s my job here in this book, to help your little u get in touch with your big U, so you know who U are in total, and that there′s no separation between the two!' Tantric Pulsation By Deva Aneesha This book celebrates Aneesha′s thirty years of experience, working with neo-Reichian methods of energy release, combined with meditation. It contains both theoretical and descriptive information about her work with people, which she calls Pulsation, and also traces the development of a new branch of her work, Tantric Pulsation.
Aneesha′s book, 'Tantric Pulsation,' is rooted in the insights of two of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century,. Reich was a disciple of Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychology. Reich agreed with Freud that sexual repression lies at the root of psychological neurosis, and went on to state that even ordinary, normal human beings are incapable enjoying their lives because of widespread sexual and emotional repression practiced by all civilized societies. Reich found that the physical body stores these repressed energies as tension in the muscles, which he called 'muscular armoring.' He developed a system which uses breathing and body movement to release this tension, including strong emotional expression. This, in turn, allowes energy to flow freely and naturally throughout the whole body, inducing a physical state of tremendous aliveness, together with feelings of relaxation and well-being.
Osho, an Indian mystic considered by many a modern Tantra master, also works with life energy through his extraordinary and transforming '. His Tantra vision, wholly life affirmative, is rooted in acceptance, let-go, meditation, and celebration of life. This is a vision which embraces all human experience, from sex to superconsciousness. Aneesha′s methods have grown from these two streams of understanding, one western, one eastern. The result is a unique process of self experience and transformation, both delightful and profound. Listen Little Man By Wilhelm Reich This is Wilhelm Reich′s honest, disturbing, pungent book to kick each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man, a conscience. It was written in the summer of 1946 for the Archives of the Orgone Institute.
At the time there was no intention of publishing it. It tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, what the Little Man does to himself; how he suffers, rebels, honours his enemies and murders his friends. This appeal to the little man was a silent response to gossip and slander. When it was written, no one could foresee that a government agency charged with the safeguard of public health (the FDA), in league with politicians and psychoanalytical careerists, would unleash an attack on orgone research. The decision to publish this appeal as a historical document was made in 1947, when the emotional plague conspired to kill orgone research (not to prove it unsound but to kill it by defamation). Little man, you′ve built your house, your life, your culture, your civilisation, your science and technology, your love and your methods of child-rearing, on sand.
You don′t know this, you don′t want to know it, and when a great man tells you, you kill him. (Wilhelm Reich - Listen Little Man). (.pdf file, right-click and ′save link or target as′) Tantra, a Way of Living and Loving By Radha C.
Luglio Radha C. Luglio describes her personal journey of spiritual transformation in which she discovers the basic principles of Tantra′s devotion, receptivity, naturalness, meditation and sensuality through a variety of intense experiences.
Each chapter is a transmission of Tantric understanding to the reader. Each begins with a quote from a different enlightened mystic and ends with a Tantric meditation technique. While telling her story, Radha draws on a variety of sources, such as Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, one of the oldest Hindu scriptures, and the sayings of ancient Buddhist Tantra masters such as Tilopa, Naropa and Saraha. She describes her initiation as a disciple to an Indian mystic, Osho, whom she regards as a modern Tantra master, and the personal guidance she receives from him. She applies this guidance to her life as a seeker, which includes periods of celibacy, discipline and hard work contrasted with times of intense sexual exploration and freedom. Interview with Radha (in Italian and on You Tube):. Love Song for Osho By Ma Anand Devika Past the Point of no Return By Ma Anand Bhagawati The book contains stories of several people who recount openly the circumstances which ultimately led them to become disciples of Osho.
You will intimately come to know each individual as they share their inner and outer journeys that have catapulted them past the point of no return. Blessed and Not Knowing By Swami Deva Rashid aka Rashid Maxwell Blessed: The poems and drawings in this collection have been selected from more than 25 years of work.
They arise from the common round of daily life: gardening, watching the outer sky with a painter′s eye and the inner with a meditator′s awareness. There is a fine wit to many of the poems, giving them a snap, a surprise, a riddle, just like the ending of a haiku. This book expresses one person′s love for a world at once funny, crazy and wonderfully mysterious.
Not Knowing: A second collection of poems and drawings with simple everyday observations and expressions, describe the author′s insights on the quest for spiritual truth: the pain and the joy, the mundane and the elevated. He sees through the web of samsara and at the same time gracefully accepts the bee sting in the field. Osho, the Luminous Rebel By Vasant Joshi PhD The book traces the story of Osho from his birth, talking about his spiritual search for truth and the story of his enlightenment.
It also takes the reader through those years of Osho′s struggle with authority figures, his travels all over India, and to the much-hyped city of Rajneeshpuram in the US. Osho believes that he was poisoned by the US government when he was detained in various jails there; he was later denied visas in almost all countries across the world - events, he reveals, that exposed the true face of 'Democracy.' Excerpt:, a talk given by Osho on 23 December 1967 in Lonavla. It has been translated from Hindi. In this talk Osho plants the seeds of what is to become a worldwide sannyas movement.
Moments of Lucidity by Swami Prem Nirvan aka Arthur D. Saftlas Osho, India and Me By Krishna Prem (Jack Allanach) 'The first time I see him he is reading Zorba the Greek. He sits in an orange armchair in the far corner of the room, legs crossed, the novel resting lightly on one knee.
Apart from the single chair, a shelf of books, and a wide bed that lies close to the floor like a futon, the room is empty. It is early November 1973. Osho lives in a single room in a three-bedroom flat in Woodlands, a luxury-apartment complex in the affluent Malabar Hill section of Bombay.' So starts ′Osho, India and Me′. Thirty years ago Osho asked Krishna Prem to write ′a little book′.
He wrote what was to become a unique account of a master-disciple relationship and life around an Enlightened Master. From early days in Bombay, Dynamic Meditation on Chowpatty Beach at 5 am, a journey to the middle of India for a quasi survivor experiment; a full moon acid party in Goa; meetings with Indira Gandhi and Morarji Desai to meditations on the secret of sex and darshans with the Master - the ′little book′ evolved.
To order the book go to: Take It Really Seriously The Giant Book of Laughter ' A sense of humour you can have about yourself - it is great to laugh about yourself, and those who can do it are slowly filled with love and care for others. In the whole world there′s nothing more inviting than laughing about yourself.' Osho, who worked in the ′Osho-Joke-Search & Create′ department for a long time, has filled almost 700 pages with incredible jokes. No other Master has used the innocence of laughter to shock you out of your ′mind′. When you laugh, no-mind comes about effortlessly. Bhagwan: One Man Against the Whole Ugly Past of Humanity By Juliet Forman aka Maneesha James A detailed protocol of Bhagwan′s world odyssey told by someone who accompanied him.
Beginning with Bhagwan′s enforced departure from the US, the story takes the reader to a dozen countries, as his people attempt to find a new home for their Master. It is a document of great love, the love of Osho for this world, for this life, encouraging each one of us to find our own Self.
And it is likewise the story of the great love of a disciple for her Master. The Essential Osho Meditation Handbook A practical step-by-step guide to many different meditation techniques, and the scientific explanation of what meditation is and what not.
A description of the obstacles and pitfalls along the way, where one finds answers to meditators common questions.

Clare The author writes: This memoir recounts my experiences during the 10+ years I was a disciple of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (now known as Osho). The first half focuses on my participation at his ashram in India as well as the background and early influences that led to my becoming a disciple. The second half describes my involvement at our communal ranch in Central Oregon. My initial purpose in writing had nothing to do with publishing. I wanted to explore its potential for examining what destroyed our community from a viewpoint outside myself, on paper. I needed to understand what led to our collapse, and what part (if any) I may have played. As I progressed, however, I realized that others might welcome seeing how this destructive path came about, and perhaps notice a resemblance, as I did, between the behaviors that led to our downfall and similar behaviors in the larger world that might be recognized if we chose to pay closer attention.

Says Osho in Come, Come, Yet Again Come #14: And it has now to be a known and recognized fact that my buddhafield is not going to be confined to the small place where I will be living with a few thousand sannyasins. All the small communes, ashrams, centers, all over the world will become little buddhafields. We have to fill the whole earth with buddhafields! We have to create a chain of buddhafields. Y e s By Anando aka Anando Heffly There are many books with good advice: ′Just say YES to whatever life brings, just accept yourself and others as they are, and you will have no problems′.
It makes sense and sounds easy, but anyone who has tried it knows just how difficult it is to do in practice. And often the only YES we know is a compromise - we deny our own needs and juice for life in order to please others - and that leaves us feeling miserable and unsatisfied.
This book explains the hidden dynamics in your unconscious which get in the way of change. Understanding that gives you choices, for the first time. The book gives real, practical techniques for everyday situations where problems arise: relationships, family, work, changing circumstances and yourself - your emotions, habits and personality patterns and your attitude towards your body. In essence, it is about changing yourself from the inside, and then seeing the remarkable results that has on your life on the outside. The YES book is available.

The Sound of Running Water Dhanyam writes: Many friends of Osho′s will remember The Sound of Running Water, the beautiful, big photo biography that was produced in Poona One times.
Many gorgeous photos of Osho, his people, and his ashram, plus numerous quotes tell the story of Osho′s life and work between 1974 and 1978. The book was printed in a limited edition and went out of print more than 20 years ago when Avirbhava bought the last (signed) copy for $14,000 in Poona Two. Over the years, many sannyasins would sadly remember the time when they snapped up a copy for $100 in Rajneeshpuram - and gave it away. Sometimes a copy would appear on ebay or Amazon, offered for several thousand dollars. Now Swami Jagdish in Pune has reprinted the book, with the same photos and text, in almost the exact same format, and we have just received a small shipment.

Nirgun concludes her book at age 74, writing, 'Scientists tell us that nothing in existence can ever go out of existence.
Spiritual folk call it ′life eternal′. For me it′s an inner certainty. Death can take the fading body, the static personality, the prickly ego - take them, and welcome. But it can′t touch the infinite intelligence that throbs in every atom of our being.'

By Swami Rammurthi. Osho was not in favour of compilations, parts taken from his different books and put together to form another book. His main focus was on complete unabridged books. There are two exceptions, and it seems Osho had them published because:. He could give precise directions as to how they should be made. It was an opportunity to have at least excerpts of his darshan diaries reach a wider audience Read about these exceptions in Discussion between Sarito and Keerti (Two sannyasins who were in charge of Osho′s books) Sarito wrote to Keerti: 'Osho himself at different times has asked for compilations to be made from his talks, including from the darshan diaries, from World Tour discourses, press interviews, etc. In 'Poona Two,' with Osho′s full support and guidance, a number of compilations were created by sannyasins on specific topics.
After they were published, it was felt that these compilations were interfering with sales of the complete discourse books in the Commune′s bookshop. Osho′s suggestion then was that these types of books should be offered to outside publishers, as a ′bridge′ to new people.' Keerti answered: 'Beloved Sarito, you say that Osho himself at different times has asked for compilation to be made from his talks.
I know that he did allow that for some time, after some of us suggested to him about the compilations, and then we got the messages: ′Enough of the compilations. Do the complete books now. These compilations can be given to outside publishers.′ The truth is that there were any number of compilations published in the eighties. This applied even more to the foreign-language translations published in the 70s and 80s. Many of those were compilations.'
So: Osho made statements on several occasions, that his discourses are 'complete in themselves', that selections are likely to create a wrong impression, and that things said in a complete context may be misleading in isolation. The messages to and fro between Sarito and Keerti show that Osho was not in favour of compilations published by sannyasins themselves.
Compilations issued by mainstream publishers subjected a general public to what Gurdjieff calls 'B-influences'. People who managed to absorb these influences are then ready for 'C-influences', the real stuff. Notes:. With Dhanyam′s comments. Gurdjieff talks about an esoteric center, that is connected with a conscious inner circle of humanity, and three kinds of influences:. A-influences created in life, that is, in life itself - they are the first kind, and often the only kind, of influences people are subjected to; A-influences do not come from an esoteric center.
The issues published in newspapers, for example, mainly consist of A-influences. B-influences created outside life as C-influences, but diminished in consciousness by being thrown into the general vortex of life; the second kind of influences. Myths and fairy tales can be said to be B-influences pointing to a higher level of consciousness. C-influences of a man on another man; the former man actually is connected with an esoteric center, directly or by succession; this is the third kind of influences. This influence is conscious, and under its action on the latter man′s ′magnetic center′, he becomes free from the ′law of accident′ and lives in agreement with the ′law of fate′. Osho′s video lectures and unabridged books can be said to be C-influences. One can read about the ′law of accident′ and the ′law of fate′.
In order not to have to work with mainstream publishers who prefer a watered-down Osho in compilations, some sannyasins publish Osho′s books themselves. There′s the example of Rebel Publishing house; and who founded their own company in France (which though very successful, doesn′t exist anymore.) Ghata and Sant did so, because they found mainstream publishers to be too slow and too choosy, and Osho wanted all of his books published not only those who are a commercial success.
