“To enable Indians and the world to appreciate the eternal India, Osho’s insights contained in his discourses and books should be made widely available around the world and through all media. This will also make the world understand India much better. “I was surprised and very impressed by Osho’s logic and how well he proved his points. When I was imprisoned during the Emergency for 19 months, I had the opportunity of reading Osho’s books on Mahavir, Kabir and the Geeta. I concluded that Osho is perhaps the most original thinker of India.”
L. K. Advani – Minister of Home Affairs, Govt. of India

“I believe that Osho was well ahead of his time in terms of his teachings, his thinking and as a practical man. This is very clear that the message of Osho are universal in nature. This also means that the right to His message is equally universal and should be available to any individual. In fact each one of the 6 Billion of us that inherit the earth today have a right to the words of Osho.”

“Osho, undoubtedly, was the most original thinker and philosopher of the last century. He openly declared the death of ‘the old man’ bound to the chains of self-professed ideologies of the past centuries and the arrival of ‘the new man’ who is unbound and free to explore the joyful and creative nature of his existence. Osho’s new man is both spiritual and scientific, simultaneously; he is not repressive and aggressive as in the past but tender and loving to embrace the joyful future. Let us rejoice and welcome the new man of Osho who is open and transparent, honest and truthful, authentic and self-disclosing. Osho’s new man is not fragmented but integral, wholistic in the image of his creator. And, this new man is not going to fall from some alien space but he is arriving through each one of us as we start dropping the gross sheath of our existence and start reaching the essential nature of ourselves, which is pure existence, pure consciousness and pure bliss.”
Padamshree Dr. Vijay Bhatkar – Eminent scientist, Former Director of C-DAC

“Loosely translated, this line by the 18th century Sufi poet Bulle Shah, would go somewhat like this – I am unfettered, unfettered am I. Neither the sick nor the saviour am I. The line for me is a source of boundless creative energy and celebration. This is the irresistible feeling in the presence of Osho’s aura. I can say no more.”

– Madangopal Singh, University professor and Sufi Scholar

“I have heard Shree Rajneesh and have been inspired by his talks. His works are sublimne and seek to liberate the soul of humans. Indeed his presentation is unique, his goal is great and his success in liberating each person from the mafia surrounding the soul is rewarding reading. The message that he had to deliver must reach everywhere. Ultimately salvation comes when one attains freedom from oneself. That, I believe, is the consummation which exposure to Osho may help.”

Shri. V.R. Krishna Iyer, former supreme court judge

“… I read a lot of Oshos books and I have been reading a lot about (Oshos views on) rebellion, which is my favorite so far. And how creativity is the greatest form of rebellion in life. Its important to stand up for what you believe in and to fight for equality. Equality is one of the most important things in my life – social, political, economic equality – these are all things I fight for in my country as a citizen. So I read Osho because not only do I love his work and what he writes about, but I guess I am kind of an Indian hippie!”

When we wrote and prepared for shooting Vanilla Sky, I constantly checked in with Osho’s insides. It is not so easy to present the unconscious mind with images and a story. Osho is the only one who can perfectly explain it all, the inner and the outer and that helped me and my team immensely”

[Tom Cruise, Actor]
