Open up! Throw your doors and windows open. Let wind and rain and sun come in. let people enter into you and you enter into people's lives. That is the only way to become aware of the tremendous mystery of life, says Osho, the Zen master.
The recent decision given bythe US Trademark Trials and Appeal Board, which established that “Osho” cannot be trademarked, has raised many issues. Osho sannyasins, lovers and meditation centers have been talking and discussing privately and on the internet...
“I want my sannyasins to inherit my freedom, my awareness, my consciousness. And each sannyasin has to be my successor, has to be me. There is no need for anybody to dominate. There is nobody for anybody to dictate to. They are on their own...
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield, so wherever my sannyasins are there is a mini-buddhafield. And now that you are one of my sannyasins, you will function there as a vehicle for me. Allow me to function through you and a mini-buddhafield will be created...
I am not going to give a single instruction about anything. In fact there is no need. These people had to give instructions because they left people blind. They gave only beliefs to them; they never gave them consciousness, awareness. They never gave them the capacity to decide on their own. They never made them responsible for their own life...
Whatever words Osho has spoken on any subject, they intermingle, contradict, provoke, explain and yet there’s always the one persistent message, freedom and truth.
“Each individual is a freedom, an unknown freedom. It is impossible to predict, impossible to expect...
I don’t know how many people are reading this journal on line, but I am happy to contribute to the topics that every month is offered and this month we have a very delicate one about copyrights and trademarks on Osho.
It was summer of 1973. After travelling around in Osho Kirtan group for a year, I wrote a letter to Osho: "From Punjab, I wish to publish a monthly magazine for you with your discourses." I was living in Panipat, a small city 90 km north of New Delhi . I received a prompt response from Ma Yoga Laxmi, Osho's secretary, and the names...
I grew up watching my father doing Yog asanas every morning. I have been treated so many times as a child with herbs when I had a cough or indigestion or a small injury. Haldi or turmeric, is a condiment used in every household in every meal in India and most of us know the very benefits of haldi...
Ken Wilbur reckons there may have been around 1000 Enlightened Beings in the whole of history. Sounds about right. In my own lifetime I have encountered less than ten who have laid claim to Enlightenment, half of whom I have harbored doubts. Nevertheless all of them have devoted their lives to encouraging thousands...
We all are on a journey towards enlightenment. If one of us attains enlightenment, how are we going to respond to such an event? What will we do with him? Do we throw him out of the movement? Are we qualified to judge such an attainment? Osho has given many instances of how an enlightened person is condemned...
“Lao Tzu objected to a single branch being broken from the tree but we have destroyed full jungles! Now we realise it was a terrible mistake. We had cut off the jungles because we thought them to be our foes. Man was afraid of the wild life they harboured and so destroyed them and built townships. He did not realise that all the rains that poured on his land, all the breeze that blew and cooled the land cannot be without the jungles! If we cut down the jungles our towns will be no more.” OSHO The Way of Tao, Vol-1

Sutra (Technique) - Since, in truth, bondage and freedom are relative, these words are only for those terrified with the universe. This universe is a reflection of minds. As you see many suns in water from one sun, so see.
This book chronicles a twelve-day revolution in the life of Osho Rajneesh beginning on December 26, 1988, a period which altered the lives of millions of people – and most of them don’t know it...”
