They celebrate life, they celebrate death. Whatever is, is seen as a gift…they simply love life in all its aspects,” is how Osho introduces us to these mystics of Bengal. And in the first verse of their song, “Only a connoisseur of the flavors of love can comprehend the language of a lover’s heart” is revealed the essence of their religion. Osho explains their view of sex, their concept of the body as a temple and their secret of surrender to God, to the Beloved, to “the essential man” who lives within us all. | Read |

Nearly 400 fascinatingly intelligent pages of questions and answers, lectures, writings, etc. A revolutionary, contemporary, utterly irreverent way to the spirit.” | Read |

Atisha’s fundamental teaching is outlined in “the Seven Points of Mind Training” he devised and which Osho describes as being of inestimable value. He suggests that the seeker “meditate on Atisha, listen to his advice. This is not a philosophy, it is a manual to discipline yourself, it is a manual for inner transformation. It is a book that can help you grow into wisdom.” An extraordinary journey into the world of an incredible early Buddhist mystic. “He is the rarest and most talented religionist to appear this century.” | Read |
