”Among us all who loved him, who were called,
or stumbled, into the infinite generosity of his Commune,
and knew there something bigger than they had ever known,
and more gentle and subtle and complete –
something where the heart is at long last king and queen,
and can burst from the chest in wondering celebration -.”
(Madhuri 2019, p. 435)

Linda Long, the collection’s librarian, writes
“We have a number of collections relating to Rajneesh at the University of Oregon. One collection constitutes the legal records produced at Rajneeshpuram and the City of Rajneesh. This is the most extensive collection and it is not fully processed (but is available for research). Another collection I’ve created is called the Rajneesh Artifacts and Ephemera Collection. It contains ephemera such as bumper stickers, flyers, tarot cards, maps, brochures; and artifacts such as shirts, prayer pillows, and so on. I can send you a copy of the inventory to that collection, as well as the inventory to the Rajneesh Legal Services Corporation Records when the processing of that collection is completed…
We do have several finding aids up on our consortial database, “Archives West.” Here is a result of a search for “Rajneesh:”
archiveswest.orbiscascad.org/search/results.aspx?q=rajneesh&t=k&f_repo=oru
As we continue to process our collections, evidence of these collections will be found in Archives West. We are finishing up with the Roshani Shay papers, and still working on the Rajneesh Legal Services Corporation Records.” (Linda Long. E-mails. 18.10.2002 & 08.12.2015)

Roshani Shay (Ma Amrit Roshani) writes on the chronology compilation
“The ‘Black Books’ of Mirdad (the Ranch Welcome Center) were notebooks which contained every newspaper and magazine article written on the Ranch mounted on black paper protected by clear sleeves. A press clipping service provided the articles. I kept these up and cleaned them up after the Ranch closed. Then they went to Sw. Prem Niren to use in legal cases (It was for his legal work that I originally began the Chronology). From there they went to the Univ. of Oregon Archive on Rajneeshpuram…
I began the Chronology to help the lawyers with lawsuits, but it grew into a sort of historical document of the Ranch.” (Roshani Cary Shay. E-mails. 30 & 22.04.2015)

Roshani Shay writes on the Rajneeshpuram Scholars Group
“I don’t recall an interview with me (Ma Amrit Roshani) ever being published. There may be a tape recording. I did belong to the Rajneeshpuram Scholars Group (RSG), along with Mimi Goldman, Carl Latkin, Norman Sundberg, Dick Littman (all of Univ. of Oregon), Ted Shay (Willamette U.), Ronald Clark (Oregon State U.). I can find no evidence of an interview by the RSG with me.” (Roshani Cary Shay. E-mail. 09.11.2018)

‘I did research at Rajneshpuram and here is what I learned’ / Marion S. Goldman. ‘Religion News Service’. 12.11.2018. www.religionnews.com/2018/04/30/ Originally published in ‘The Conversation’. (Goldman 2018)

According to some users a lot of material is included, but the collection at University of Oregon Libraries is said not to be too well organized and still needs cataloguing.

* Osho Zeenat Foundation. Boulder, USA,
The founders of Osho Heritage Trust have ceased their activities around 2015. A historical document ‘Aims and statement from the founders’ is in: 20. Miscellaneous). Osho Zeenat Foundation located in Boulder, USA, is by now continuing the undertaking of providing a collection of Osho’s works. (Zeenat: Arabic for beauty, gorgeous)

Bhikkhu, New Earth Records, Boulder, writes
“The Osho Heritage Trust was re-named into Osho Zeenat Foundation and Anando is no longer a member since she moved over to Australia. The plans are to make this eventually a home for Waduda’s collection of Osho related materials. These include a pretty complete English book library, a video library and an audio library and other personal objects from Osho. We do not plan to move anymore from here…
OHT has been changed into Osho Zeenat non profit many years ago. It is a registered US non profit and has an active standing. Its dedication is to spread the meditations, work and silence of Osho and to collect the body of his teaching in the form of audio, video, books and related items…
For 2021 we envision to bring the Osho Zeenat website finally to its birth. Waduda is in charge of Osho Zeenat and we will start scanning a lot of Osho materials we have collected here, to share it with more people. These are news articles, sannyas magazines and all sorts of things. This year we already scanned over 10,000 photos from 35mm negatives black and white. We are also talking to Sarjano to acquire the photo rights to his photos of Osho. We still have to archive here private material from Vivek and other sources.” (Bhikkhu. E-mails. 28.12.2016, 31.01.2019 &12.11.2020)

* Mystic Foundation
Sw Anuragi of Delhi has a comprehensive collection of Osho media and memorabilia.

He is still travelling all India and abroad sharing his concerns with friends who are donating their treasures to his collection. Anuragi is archiving and preserving Osho’s legacy with other collectors in his collection building which at present is based in New Delhi but some other location are to be found in the future, maybe in the lower Himalayas. Many parts of his collection, including Osho’s manuscripts from Jabalpur, early letters, periodicals in Hindi and English, books etc, are now being digitized and made available at www.sannyas.wiki”>www.sannyas.wiki. Registering for the foundation has been applied for, but certification not yet taken as of 2022.

* Osho Museum. Jabalpur College, India
Government Mahakoshal College, one of the largest colleges in Central India, is being expanded for the first time in 72 years. This is the same college in which Archarya Rajneesh was teaching for 13 years from 1957 to 1970. A special room attached to Osho is to be built. It will have literature, magazines and books related to Osho. There will also be a collection of photographs related to his teacher’s lifetime, and his special long chair in the room, on which he used to sit for hours. (Professor Arun Shukla and Dr. M. Samuel. www.patrika.com 12.12.2019)

“It is reported that High Education Board Director Dr. Jagdish Chandra Jatiya made a surprise inspection of the Mahakaushal Arts and Commerce Autonomous Lead College in Jabalpur and gave several instructions to the Principal. One of the instructions was to create an Osho Room at the college.
This is the oldest college of the city, established in 1836; it was named Robertson College when Osho was a student. It was the most prestigious college in the province. Rani Durgavati University was established in 1956. Nowadays the college is affiliated to the University.” Quoted from the Hindi newspaper ‘Dainik Bhaskar’. 04.12.2018. (www.oshonews.com/2018/12/20)

“As I understand, this was announced by the Commissioner of Jabalpur. The Commissioner is usually a high positioned person who is appointed by the Government and is a transferable position. This Commissioner has been very forthcoming and positive on Osho and His works. He seems to have read Osho quite a lot. As I have been told, he referred to many quotes and books of Osho during his speech in the festival [11-13.12.2019]. I presume they will be doing something in Mahakoshal University by making a dedicated place. It would be a museum kind of experience where his signed books, register, His chair and some other articles might be put on display. What might be lacking here is security, preservation and aesthetics. And of course, the sensitivity towards these things.
It is good they will do something and will promote tourism to the city, but their purpose and our purpose are different. Moreover, they are completely connected with OIF and one does not know if they will support this idea to larger extent or not. The sannyasins which are involved are one Ma Poornima from Bhopal, who also runs Osho Glimpse Centre and is connected politically. And the second person is Ma Sadhana of Poona.” (Anuragi. E-mail. 16.12.2019)

Dhanyam writes
“Apparently also inspired by Osho’s birthday, Bollywood filmmaker Subhash Ghai urged the government of Madhya Pradest to set up a research center in Jabalpur to study and teach the Master’s meditation techniques. Ghai delivered a talk on meditation during a three-day Osho festival that was organized by the state Spirituality Department, the Jabalpur Tourism Promotion Council, and the district administration. I think the center is an excellent idea – and I love that the government in Madhya Pradesh has a Spirituality Department!” (Viha Connection, 2020:2)

* Osho Chair. Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat (Gujarat), has on January 22, 2017, set up the first Osho Chair in India. Further information at website: Osho Chair. Path For Meditation And Holistic Growth. www.oshochair.com – Including ‘A Talk Given by Swami Satya Vedant at Osho Chair Inauguration Celebration at Surat’. The main objectives of Osho Chair are:
– Designing a well-planned curriculum for the study of Osho’s multidimensional work
– Making available the vast literature of Osho (over 1000 titles) for the purpose of research and publication
– The Chair may be supported in preparing for a Master’s or a doctoral degree
– A systematic program for conducting research seminars and conferences will be the integral part of Osho Chair
– The Chair and its work will be brought to the attention of students and academicians through various publications and the Internet.

* Museum initiatives in Oregon
Subhuti recalls plans for a museum in the US 1988
“Around this time, we heard that citizens in The Dalles, Oregon, were thinking of building a “Rajneesh Museum” in their town, showcasing memorabilia from the days of our saga. It gave me an idea for an unusual press release…
What was it? Well, I quoted Bhagwan as saying that, after his death, he would be happy to donate his stuffed, poisoned body to the museum as a reminder of what the Reagan administration had done to him – with the help and support of the people of Oregon.
The story was published in one of The Dalles’ newspapers. The museum was never build.
‘Historical note: about 25 years after our saga ended, a small museum was opened in Antelope by a retired couple, featuring the whole of the town’s history, from initial pioneering days to modern times, including, of course, the Rajneesh chapter.'” (Subhuti 2019, p. 331)

A museum with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh memorabilia in a renovated historical home is for sale in Antelope November 2021. The house was home for the printing of The Rajneesh Times in the mid.1980s, and has a lot of artifacts from Antelope. It has been kept as a part-time residence and occasional museum by the present owner since 1995. Featured in the Netflix documentary ‘Wild Wild country.’ (www.oshonews.com 15.11.2021)

* Meera Art Museum. Tuscany, Italy.
“Svagito writes: I am happy to announce that we finally managed to complete the works at the museum and unofficially opened it to the public. The big opening celebration will happen next year, on May 1. Because of the corona restrictions we are unable to hold it this year.
Almost all of the 35 chosen paintings are displayed now on three floors and the whole place looks simply amazingly beautiful…
The building is an old Tuscan-style house which has been renovated: the paintings harmonize perfectly with the stone walls, wooden floors and metal railings. Our friend Hendrik Andresen did an amazing job with framing all the paintings using high-quality anti-reflection glass with UV protection. He framed them in Germany and we then arranged for a special transport to Italy… We also bought the best museum-quality spotlight, with the proper light level and temperature, to allow each painting to stand out from the surrounding walls. The whole space is air-conditioned and the temperature and humidity is controlled 24 hours throughout the year to protect the paintings…
And I must tell you: It is not the same when you only see it on the video!” (www.oshonews.com 11.09.2020)

The saga of the osho.com site:
“The Osho Website, before www.osho.org, is about to be renamed to www.osho.com. Meanwhile the Osho Website is a series of sister sites in English, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish, which give new people a very thorough exposure to Osho. The English language site alone has over 100.000 visitors a month.” (Osho Global Connection 1.6.1999)
“The Osho.com website along with its sister sites in eight languages, receives 3 million visits annually. That’s over 10 million page views a year. With the recent upgrade, make-over and face-lift, chances are a whole bunch more people will be clicking on.” (OTI, Autumn 2000:4, p.11).
“A comprehensive multi-language website including OSHO Books, talks (audio and video), a magazine, the OSHO Library text archive in English and Hindi with a searchable facility, and extensive information about OSHO Meditation techniques.
You will also find the program schedule of the OSHO Multiversity and information about the OSHO International Meditation Resort.”
“To refresh you memory, access to the archive means:
* Accessing all the words Osho has spoken publicly in English, as well as everything translated from Hindi: a total of 230 books. Search by word, by two words, or by a phrase. You can print out each section you access, about two and half regular pages of text, at a time.
* Reading the text in the order in which it is spoken – which makes it much easier to understnd the unfolding expression of the vision.
* If, by February 28 [2002] you take out a subscription for a month, you can receive it at a 50% discount at $9.95 instead of $19.95. or take a full year subscription for less the price of 3 months!

The saga of oshoworld.com:
“Keerti and Tathagat told The Indian Express today that they would soon start to place Osho’s discourses on a webside so that admirers alll over the world can listen to him anywhere they like and even download if they like.
The website chosen for this unique mission is the Oshoworld.com – an Indian site that has recently won a battle for its domain name. The mission is scheduled to take off “at the earliest, since we are going with the feelings of genuine osho sannyasins, spread across the globe, who are intensely hurt about Osho being reduced to a mere trademark and copyright,” says Swami Chaitanya Keerti. States Tathagat, “Several high-tech savvy sannyasins are already working on the economic viability and other matters and it will be very soon, that you will hear Osho’s magical and spellbinding voice, at the click of the mouse. Of course, it is not possible to feed everything that he spoke, since it is too vast. For example, if you want to feed in even his Hindi discourses, it would come to roughly 240 GB. Then there are his numerous disourses in English.” (The Indian Express. 10.10.2000)

“Recently [2021], the Osho Dham team in Delhi has refurbished their website, oshoworld.com, with a more convenient interface for mobile, labtop, or iPad users. The site also presents detailed information for upcoming meditation events at the centre and regularly uploads excerpts from Osho’s talks that continue to be significant in current time. All of Osho’s audio discourses in English and Hindi are free to be downloaded for everyone to enjoy – to meditate and celebrate with Osho.
The most notable addition is a newly developed free search engine for Osho’s English publications, which allows for searches on any topic and individual discourses. The browser is quick to locate books by chapter, and the typeface is easy to read. The search engine immediately returns a list of discourses containing a specific term or phrase, which may be selected one by one.
Go to oshoworld.com for English discourse excerpts (the Pearls), Hindi and English e-books, audio discourses, videos, the monthly Hindi magazine, link to Osho Friends International, and much more. You can also go straight to the search engine. Enjoy the ride!” (Prachi. www.oshonews.com”>www.oshonews.com 09.12.2021)

The saga of sannyas.wiki:
Rudra in interview 2011
“Sannyas.org is located in Western Australia and has been going for more than 10 years now. In that time it has grown too big to be manageable by just one person. So the Wiki is the perfect vehicle to hand the whole thing over to the public. What happens from here on is out of my hands. The nice thing about a wiki is that it’s open ended. There are tens (or hundreds?) of thousands of sannyasins worldwide and a wiki can accommodate them quite easily.” (www.rebelliouspirit.com/osho-webzine/116)

Rudra writes in January 2013
“I’ve spent the last 15 years maintaining an online directory of the socalled ‘Friends of Osho’ which was originally hosted at www.sannyas.net and moved to www.sannyas.org in 2002.
Once on sannyas.org, I’ve added the ‘Osho Bibliography.’
The website has now grown so much that it has become impossible for one person to look after it and it now needs the support of everyone who has made use of this website in the past.
A Wiki is the perfect vehicle for that. I’m now in the process of converting the sannyas.org databases into the wiki format. After that, the seed will hopefully grow into an amazing tree. Sannyas Wiki is as much about you as it is about Osho. Go for it! With love, Rudra.” (The Sannyas Wiki. January 2013)

Kaiyum writes in 2018
“A non-profit website and free of advertising, the Sannyas Wiki clearly provides a valuable service, considering the more than 60,000 hits per day (2018), a number that continues to grow…
Wiki is the on-line encyclopedia for a broad range of information: a complete overview of Osho’s life, a growing number of publications of Osho’s discourses (the current catalogue details more than 3,800 titles in 29 languages), an immense collection of magazines, articles and books about Osho /search through 19 languages), including the flourishing offering of sannyasin (auto)biographies…
The Sannyas Wiki is the most complete compilation of resources for sannyasins and lovers of Osho.” (Kaiyum at www.oshonews.com/2018/03/12)

Sw Anand Sugit writes in 2019
“Some 10 years ago, here in Amsterdam, we needed sannyas music for Osho Radio. When we had a nice collection, I looked for a way to publish that.
That is how I met the people from www.sannyas.wiki, a group of dedicated guys from all over the world. What we try to do is document everything about Osho. It started with a bibliography, which continues to grow. We have a timeline, showing when and where of all Osho did in His lifetime: writings, discourses, celebrations. From there, you can reach 8,500 pages for every event that ever happened with Osho. We try to be very precise, checking every fact, all in the hope that somehow the comprehensiveness will show something of His genius.
It’s an enormous job! So much is still unknown. And now is the time to do it, as now we are still around with first-hand experience.
It’s also delicious work, because in the process I get to see so much of Osho that I never knew existed. (Just imagine having this kind of info available for Buddha or Jesus!)
What about the idea that dates and places are irrelevant in the case of Osho? That “His message is timeless and He has no biography?” That “we don’t want to remember all these irrelevant, long discourses from the Ranch?” Some institutions are actively erasing parts of history, where “OSHO” is being presented as some abstract notion. Well, I do not agree at all. I would like to present His history exactly as it happened, including the context, as clearly as possible, so that tomorrow’s seekers get the chance to judge His authenticity for themselves, human frailties included. I believe any other way would just engender suspicion, and rightly so.
Anyway, the feedback that we receive is great; we hear people are using the Wiki as an encyclopedia, playing the music at parties, sending donations etc. What we hope for is that many more people will share their first-hand experiences. Nice example: Search for “Nivedano,” and you’ll see his incredibly juicy page about the music. Please feel invited.” (Sw Anand Sugit. Viha Connection, 2019:1)

The sannyas.com domain has been squatted on by a domain reseller for the last decade but none has bought it so far. At the last enquiry they wanted “some thousands of dollars” for the name. (sannyasworld.com 2005)

Punya on Osho News
“Now on my left is one of the benches where I sometimes sit: to read a book in the sunshine or to sketch the design of a new website. Here I made the plan for the remake of our website advertising Osho’s meditations held in the UK. When Veena had started writing articles about news, people and places the website grew out of all proportions and had to have a major overhaul.
That was within the first year. I work on it over the weekends to keep it up-to-date and interesting. This is now my sitting-down way of contributing to Osho’s work.” (Punya 2015, p. 416)

* Osho Source Book. A bio-bibliography 1931-1990. Vols I-III. 2014 & 2019ff.
www.oshosourcebook.com

The one you are watching right now. Osho Source Book is a large digital repository of sources to Osho’s life and work. For a start we recommend you to read the ‘Prelude’ in Vol. II, and leave the more comprehensive ‘Introduction’ in Vol. I until later. The digital design of Osho Source Book aims to follow the well known linear format of the printed book with its volumes, parts and sections including lots of photos as well as audio and video clippings.

Following years of field work in India and elsewhere, research and writing started in 2008 and the first Vol. I (1931-1974) was uploaded and made available in 2014. A preliminary version of Vols. II and III was further uploaded in March 2019 and since then work has been in progress. Supplements/Updates of all three volumes ending December 2022 are finally scheduled to be uploaded in 2023.
Research and compilation: Associate Professor Pierre Evald, Skagen, Denmark. Royal School of Library and Information Science, Aalborg. Production: Skawdesign.

Sannyas Names. Introduction to the new list of Osho Sannyas Names & terms. Compiled by Swami Samudro. For download: Full List all Names (PDF); First Names only (PDF); Full List all names (Excell). Samudro writes:
“However, I wanted to do it more thoroughly. Initially I began researching all the Darshan Diaries on the Oshobooks CD-ROM, to check which names Osho had given and with which meaning. Soon it became obvious that there were numerous editing errors. Possible because, Maneesha (or rather, Big Prem) was given just one day to transcribe the tape of the darshan. To keep the nature of the darshans as an intimate meeting between master and disciple, Osho had given the instruction that the tapes be erased immediately after the transcription. So there is no way now to double-check on audio tapes.
Also the book editors were overwhelmed with work, and as there was no internet in those days, it would have been difficult to get all Sanskrit names transliterated correctly. It was also not an easy task to decipher Osho’s pronunciation on some words even with the tape recordings of regular discourses. Add to that the flimsy quality of audio cassette tapes in India in 1974-1981!
Urged to find the correct spelling of Sanskrit names I found a couple of Sanskrit dictionaries. The main one I use to check the sannyas names is the Monier-Williams Sanskrit Dictionary from the late 1890’s. Leafing through the 1333 pages of this tome, I came across many other Sanskrit words that could have also made very interesting names. And thus I started to compile a new list of sannyas names and also corrected the gender of the names.
I have also double-checked all the other names given by Osho which are in other languages, like Hindi, Urdu or Arabic, i.e. not of Sanskrit origin and all those names which the Academy staff have added over the years. Thus I have expanded the 1550 names I found from Osho’s published books to approx 24.000 names in what will be the final list. As I only have extra time for it on occasions, it has taken me about 7 years for a compilation in the form of an Excel file. I am also making it available as a downloadable pdf file. It is preferable to search within the file for the meanings, rather than the name spelling.” (Samudro. www.oshonews.com. 20.03.2015)

* Osho Books on CD-ROM
CD-ROM with text from all first editions of Osho’s books in English, published and unpublished, plus approximately thirty books translated from Hindi.

Published in three versions by Osho International Foundation, London: First versions June 1994 & December 1994 with a second version in April 1995. Windows version.

See www.sannyas.wiki for
– Titles included on the CD-ROM
– History of the project starting with ‘The Silver Platter’
– Errata. “Note that this is not intended to cover OCR “typos,” as there are many and this is not our purview here. Also, in the early 90s there WAS an ongoing file being kept in Publications of all editing improvements needed for the next edition, relating to mistakes in the hard copy (plenty of them too, inevitable when you consider the pressures of putting out three new books a month). This errata section is for CD-ROM “administrative” errors.” (www.sannyas.wiki)
– Notable differences from the original recording. “It should be noted that the CD-ROM is NOT an exact transcript of Osho’s words. The CD-ROM is based on the books, mostly the editions that were around in 1989-1990. Often, those are first editions, but with older books they are often some newer edition. All of Osho’s books have been the result of some editing (e.g. amending Osho’s Indian English). It has been said that sometimes there were heavy editing of the original discourses. And in some cases blatant censorship has been applied. To what extent this has been done is unknown, it would take thousands of man hours to compare the audio recordings and the transcripts. Below are some examples that have come to light.” (www.sannyas.wiki)
– Missing on the CD-ROM
– Other desirable source material

“Another feature of the CD-ROM/Database is its treasure trove of unpublished books. These are books whose text has been through a rough edit but never went further than that to actual publication. There are sixteen such Darshan Diaries, six volumes of last Testaments and a few other books, most of which will likely never be published. Thus this is the only form in which this significant portion of Osho’s oeuvre is available anywhere. The CD-ROM also introduced us to the Archive Code. The Archive Code is a 7-digit code to uniquely identify any lecture by its date and time of day it was spoken.” (www.sannyas.wiki)

“The CD-ROM was available as an authorized commercial product briefly in 1994-95, but this was discontinued. Thereafter it was available on the web, especially in some countries such as India and Russia, which are out of reach of copyright claims by OIF, orvia torrents. Notably, there is a site in India (www.oshorajneesh.com/osho-books-database-download.htm) where it can be downloaded directly. As of August 2016 this is a newer version, that also works with Windows 7, 8, and 10.” (www.sannyas.wiki)

“Osho Books is an infobase designed to work with the Folio document retrieval system. The infobase contains all the discourses, interviews and writings of the Indian mystic Osho. Search is named ‘Query’…

Finally…
If you have read through the preceding chapters you should have a pretty good idea on how to make use of the Osho Books CD-ROM. What use you will put it to is up to you. It is the largest ever electronic repository of understanding and knowledge on meditation and its techniques. It is also much more, a complete world view of the New Man and a new way of life. The purpose of this CD-ROM is to provide access to Osho’s words, ideas and vision, and to make them available to as many people as possible.”

Bhagwan has talked on drugs many times, but here he answers directly three people according to their individual needs.” NEWS. Cassettes… “We are delighted to announce that we are now up to date with our cassette recording orders. Orders for cassette tapes of any of Bhagwan Shree’s discourses, in Hindi or English, can now be processed immediately if you have your own blank cassettes. The cause for this blissful state is that the Arica sannyasins clubbed together and bought, and brought, a high-speed copying machine. The machine copies both sides of the cassette, rewinds and pops up – all in 4 1/2 minutes. And the quality is excellent. All we need in that department now is a high-speed spool-to-spool copying machine. And remember, if you bring one into the country the Indian customs will ask you to pay 150% duty. When the arican who brought in the cassette copying machine was asked if he had to pay duty he said, ‘Yes US$600 – but it is worth every dollar just to see the joy and relief on everybody’s face at the sight of it.’ Well, we were a long way behind on our orders before it came. What we are short of in the cassette copying department now, is cassettes. We can’t get enough to fulfill the orders. So if you were wondering what to bring the ashram when you come – cassettes, good quality C-90’s. And remember if the customs find you with a quantity of new cassettes they will charge 150% duty.” In Hindi. “A vast amount of work at the ashram is in Hindi – transcribing, editing, manuscripts for the books, correspondence – and it is all done by hand! We do not have a Hindi typewriter. If you have one you could give or lend, or you would like to buy us one, it would speed up the Hindi side of Bhagwan Shree’s work considerably.” Rolfing. Deep Contentment. By Sw Deva Paritosh. Editors. “If you are in the process of editing or publishing or translating any of Bhagwan Shree’s work, would you please contact the ashram before proceeding any further. Several large publishing houses have approached us regarding publishing Bhagwan Shree’s work, so there is now the question of copyright to consider. Please contact us soon so that we can get a full picture of what is happening everywhere.” La Rivoluzione Interiore… “Bhagan Shree’s book ‘The Inward Revolution’ has now been translated into Italian. Other books are also in the process of translation. The book, which is entitled ‘LA RIVOLUZIONE INTERIORE’, is available from the the publisher: Armenia Editore. V. le Ca’ Granda, 2 – 20162 Milano.

Thames and Hudson are publishing ‘The Book of the Secrets’ in London, and it is being published in the states as well. Other books are also under offer. And sannyasins are asked to write articles for magazines. Depending on the type of magazine it is going to, the articles can take any form – personal experiences, subjective views, or approaches through the channels of science, politics, religion, ecology, women’s liberation – Bhagwan Shree talks on practically everything, so almost any approach is possible. It is usually good to quote something Bhagwan Shree has said on the subject, and get a picture published of him if you possibly can. So if you have written something, or you would like to, or you know of journals who are interested, then please contact the ashram, or one of the two centers in the west who are acting as clearing houses for this project: Ma Yoga Susheela. Paras Rajneesh Center… San Francisco… and Ma Prem Punita.

Although the discourse was in Hindi, the auditorium was so ‘charged’ with Bhagwan’s presence that even the Westerners felt there was something special about what he spoke… The Ma Yoga Laxmi, in her ‘floating’ way, presented Bhagwan-signed copies of the three books that came out on Guru Poornima day to the editors and cover designers. The two English books were ‘No Water/No Moon’ (Rs 65) discourses based on Zen stories and ‘The Mustard Seed’ (Rs 105), discourses based on the sayings of Jesus.

“Dying for Enblightenment. ‘Dying for Enlightenment’ is a book that has been created by Sw Deva Amit Prem along with Sw Krishna Bharti, and has been published by Harper & Row in the USA. It begins with poetic prose, a description of Bhagwan and life at the ashram, and this leads us into more than a huindred pages of black and white pictures that trace an ashram day from Dynamic to darshan. The message of this beautiful picture-book is immediate and overwhelming: it is an open invitation to life, to life lived in its totality. The faces in the pictures tell the story. In ecstasy, agony, bliss, peace, rage, plyfulness and despair, they bear witness to Bhagwan and his celebration of life in all its moods.”

– 1979:14. Rajneesh Foundation News. “The Sound of Silence. For ten days, from June 11th to 20th, Bhagwan did not speak to us in discourse. For the first three days of this period, Bhagwan’s physical presence was not with us in Buddha Hall. Instead, we experienced alternating periods of live music and silence. From the 14th to the 19th, Bhagwan’s physical presence was with us, but he did not speak. The first twenty minutes we sat, eye closed, in silence with Bhagwan. Then live music began; with eyes remaining closed we swayed and hummed to the music for forty minutes. This was again followed by twenty minutes of silence. At the end of this period we opened our eyes and blisslylly gazed at Bhagwan, coming out from within. It was so moving, so very beautiful. On the 20th, the final day of Bhagwan’s silence, there was a celebration to end the ten days’ silence with Bhagwan. As Bhagwan sat in silence on the podium, Anubhava and the music group sang and played, while sannyasins lined the periphery of Buddha Hall and danced. Said Bhagwan in the discourse of the 21st about the ten days of silence:
‘I am immensely glad, because after these ten days of silence I can say to you that many of you are now ready to commune with me in silence…
…And let the news be spread to all nooks and corners of the world: those who want to understand me only through words, they should come soon, because I may leave speaking any day…'”

– 1981:7. “News from Poona. On the evening of March 10th, after darshan, a video was shown in Buddha Hall of a series of programs which were telecast on American TV. The first was a broadcast from Montclair, New Jersey where residents of the Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center were interviewed. Then on to Channel 4, NBC, in a telecast from January 19th – complete with commercials – where Ma Amrita Pritam, the former Shannon Jo Ryan, daughter of Californian congrssman Leo Ryan, who was murdered at Jonestown, Guyana, was interviewed. She spoke about her experience as a sannyasin and her first meeting with Bhagwan. This was followed by ABC, Channel 7 World News, which broadcasts from New York at 6.30 pm to over 40 million viewers. This program, telecast on March 1st, gave news of everything from a firemen strike in Milwaukee to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans to Ronald Reagan – and to an interview with Ma Pritam. Both NBC and ABC, the largest networks in the US, showed footage from our videotapes of Bhagwan, darshan, a celebration, meditations etc. Then, as a finale, New Jersey local news broadcasted Ma Amrita Pritam with Ma Anand Sheela at Chidvilas. They both answered beautifully and spontaneously; the interviewer tried to link Bhagwan with Jonestown and even called in William Goldberg – a mind control specialist who helps keep young people out of ‘cults’!”
“Re: Veet Artho’s film “Ashram in Poona.” We would like everyone to be aware that Veet Artho (Wolfgang Dobrowolny) is no longer a sannyasin. The reason is that when he was a sannyasin, he was given the opportunity to film the activities at Shree Rajneesh Ashram but he missed this opportunity. He showed us one film for our approval but released another one which had not been approved at all. He has broken all contracts that he had made with Rajneesh Foundation. In interviews with newspapers and magazines he has spoken against Bhagwan and against Shree Rajneesh Ashram. He has earned large profits on the film, but has not fulfilled the terms of the contract. The mutual trust between us has been broken, He had only taken sannyas so that he could film the ashram and as soon as the filming was over he dropped sannyas. All centers and sannyasins are requested to be aware not to support him or his film in any way as he is portraying a completely wrong picture of Shree Rajneesh Ashram and its activities.”

– 1981:9.”Special Note to all Rajneesh Meditation Centers. Please note that the word RAJNEESH and the Foundation’s emblem are the registered trademarks of Rajneesh Foundation and may not be used without permission by any other body or person to label or advertise any products, business undertakings, groups or other activities.This does not include the word Rajneesh in the name of your center.” Rajneesh Theater Group: Hollywood Musical Night and Peter Pan. Rajneeshdham at Saswad, 20 km from Poona.

– 1981:10. “The Sound of One Hand Clapping. The following are excerpts from the last darshan diary, the Sound of one hand Clapping. These were Bhagwan’s last words sung in English. Bhagwan has now entered a new phase of his work where the communion with his disciples is happening in silence.”
The editor is asking for material on scientific research and reference sources like bibliographies and journals which carry the latest research likely to be helpful.
“To All Rajneesh Meditation Centers. We suggest that all the Centers start arranging SATSANG, silent heart-to-heart communion, regulary. The format of the Satsang as done here in Poona is explained below so that you can do it exactly in the same way: It is a celebration of music and silence during one hour and everyone is to remain with closed eyes, except during the greeting. If you feel to, you can sway and move, and you can raise your hands, but there is to be no sound – keep the sounds inside. Those who would like to get up and dance, can be at the periphery of the meditation room from the very beginning – the others can sit in the middle of the room. There is to be no noise; be absolutely silent and the atmosphere should be as if nobody is present – be ecstatic and joyful.” Then follows the various phases in singing the greetings of Buddhan Sharanam Gachhami.

– 1981:11. Research mentioned, Sw Krishna Deva’s 1980 questionnaire survey of a random sample of 300 American sannyasins in Poona based on a standard Maslow inspired test called the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). Including chart on Self-Actualization showing a comparison of American Sannyasins in Poona with selected samples in the U.S.A. (Page 5-6). “Rumour has it… Many rumours are going around all over the world and we suggest that you do not pay any attention to them. Sannyas is still given, malas are still being given and all sannyasins are still completely in orange and red! No need to feel worried by all these rumours – just enjoy them for what they are worth.” Sheela before morning Satsang on May 11, announcing that ‘We are going up North!’ The commune would still be in India, the move could begin to happen in eight weeks and nobody would be left behind. Until July 1 we will be carrying on here in Poona as usual. We will only be able to let you know after July 1 where to join us in the north. Chidvilas is now handling all media distribution for the western world.

Heading: The “World Network” Expanding into the “Global Connection.”
“What used to be known as the “World Network” has now become the “Global Connection.” It is a source of information about sannyas activities worldwide, sharing with each other what is happening in the global buddhafield.
Through “Global Connection” centers, sannyas enterprises and individuals will be supported and encouraged in their activities to make Osho’s vision available in the world. Latifa and Lani are the connection people here in Poona.” (Osho Rajneesh Newsletter (Digital). 22.06.1989)

Osho Global Connection
“Global Connection has been created in Poona with the intention of helping to put sannyasins, ex-sannyasins, friends and lovers of Osho in contact with each other and with Osho Commune, Poona…
There is also interest in forming an Academic / Education section of Global Connections…
We would like to produce an impressive document of how Osho’s work is being integrated into educational and academic settings, including libraries. See the Academic Section Newsletter enclosed for some recent news.” Signed: Sw Satya Vedant, Ph.D. Vice-Chancellor. Osho Multiversity. Ma Prem Karuna, Ed.D. U.S.A. Academic Section Coordinator.

Hindi Archive Project 1990
“About a year ago Swami Devendra Bharti started the project of remastering Osho’s Hindi discourses – about 3000 in all.
His job is complicated by the fact that most of the recordings are older than the English discourses – nearly all before 1981. Some of these recordings go back to 1965.
Those done in the very early days were recorded by whoever happened to have a machine available. So recordings are still being found in many places in India.
Some of the recordings are so old that they use obsolete tape speeds and sannyasin technicians have difficulties finding a machine on which to play them back!
Occasionally one is found in English. The earliest English recording is probably from 1968 – an encounter in Kashmir between Osho and the disciples of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, A transcript of which was recently reproduced in this newspaper.
The very early English recordings will be available to purchasers of the English archives. These have not been released before…
Announcements for the entire audio archive are being redone, using Swami Amrito’s voice. This involves about 6,000 announcements.
None of the archive tapes will be dated. It is Osho’s wish that the discourses be timeless.” (Osho Times International, 1991:11. 01.06.1991)

– The Osho Digital Audio Library
“Viha is offering 200 Osho books in audio format (4,800 hours of Osho talking) on hard drive. From the Vidyan Bhairav Tantra lectures and the entire Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega series to his final discourse on April 10, 1989.
The hard drive is compatible with both PC’s and Macs. The files are in audio book format. And more than 1,600 Osho discourses in video format is forthcoming”. (Viha. E-mail. 11.09.2010)
“Viha is offering for sale early discourse series from 1967 onwards in MP3 format, all remastered: The Eternal Quest. The Psychology of the Esoteric. I Am the Gate. That Art Thou.” (Viha Connection. E-mail. 19.11.2014)

– Tao Vision. Multidimensional vision of an enlightened master.
Made by a group of Indian sannyasins this is a listing of their complete Hindi audio collection. There are errors, so data need to be sifted and evaluated, but all in all, it was the most reliable of sources regarding the number of discourses in various series and the relationships in multi-volume aggregations. Time and again, when other sites presented a confusing picture of these relationships, Tao Vision would sort it out.

– Zender Osho Nederland (ZON)
“The ZON (this foundation started in 1989 as well) tried to get from the Dutch government permission to broadcast on the Dutch National Network. Legally this was possible, depending on certain requirements. However, the ‘Committee for the Media’ denied access: Friends of Osho did to their judgement not have basis enough in the society at large and also in appeal at the highest court for this type of disagreement, the ‘Raad van State’, we did not have any success. So this was ‘end of story'”. (Swami Anand Nandan (Nandan Bosma). 3 pages. Personal information. May 2014 & E-mail. 25.02.2017. Amended)

7. Podcasts

* Love Osho Podcast. loveosho.com
Podcasts produced by Swaram and Chetna.
With free guide to meditation. Five techniques and supportive videos. Including Blog.

14.02.2020 Podcast with Swaram: Bridging the Sannyas Community.

His blog with text: “For many years we have asked ourselves this question: “Where are today all the sannyasins who lived with Osho?”
Looking at the videos and pictures of the days when Osho was in the body, you can see thousands of young and ecstatic people. Their eyes, smiles, facial expressions and body language, tell a story of total contentment, high energy, and love for life. Those guys were flying high as if pulled above the ground by a magnetic force, which defies the law of gravity.
So where are they now? The thing is today there is no more a centralised place to find them. They are all scattered around the world and many of them live a private life. Through the Love Osho Podcast we are slowly coming into contact with some of the most beautiful sannyasins we could have ever imagined.
The Love Osho Podcast is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the first generation of sannyasins and capture their stories. It has a historical value, a sort of archive of testimonies from the people who lived with a living Master, arguably the most significant Master in the history of mankind. In addition, it serves as a treasure trove of experience that we want to keep alive and transmit to the next generations. These people have imbibed Osho’s vision and learnt from him. They were encouraged to experiment with new meditation techniques and cutting-edge therapeutic approaches. Osho brought together under one roof people from all over the world exchanging experiences, expressing their talents, and honing their personal and professional skills, under his guidance in a loving, free and creative milieu. The commune created by Osho in Pune, India in 1974 was regarded as the most advanced centre for personal development in the world. And the impact till present days is of gigantic proportions; virtually all aspects of the current spiritual and therapeutic world are influenced, explicitly or implicitly, by Osho and his sannyasins.
We aim to honour the work done by these courageous individuals, preserve it and pass it on. Osho was the magnet and the catalyst of a great experiment in consciousness. And the people who gathered around him were the actors who realized that and created so much beauty in so many different dimensions.
We are blessed to be alive at this time. We do have access to Osho directly in the form of books, videos, audio recordings and images, which are mostly available in their original format. In addition, we can connect with the first generations of disciples. Of course, it’s possible to learn directly from the source. However, since the Master left the body, for many new friends it may not be so straightforward to make sense of the vast teaching left by Osho. So experiencing Osho’s vision via his people can be an easier way to step into Osho’s world.
We are privileged to have come close and become friends with some of the “oldies”. and through the interviews, we can open small windows into their worlds. To us, they are such an inspiration and a wonderful representation of how to mature into loving and meditative human beings. At the same time, we are in contact with new sannyasins and Osho lovers who, like us, are thirsty for Osho and eager to connect with the people who lived physically with him.
And something more. Through the interviews, we plugged into the current of love circulating between Master and disciples; we somehow tapped into an invisible energy transmission, which is invaluable and we want to pass on. Before leaving the body Osho said that once gone, he would dissolve in his people. That’s the unique way of how Osho works, if we, his sannyasins, open up and allow that to happen.
In the words of our friend Rashid: “These stories are critical to the survival of Osho’s teachings that aren’t teachings. They illuminate the man we knew. The master we love. The clearest and intelligent witness of the human condition. Soon Osho will be just a name, a historical figure. The stories you elicit from us oldies keep his energy alive and flowing in the world.””

* Glimpses of OSHO / Veena Schlegel. In the series: ‘Inner Peace’ by Dr. Kevin Reese Ph.D. Episode # 72. 15.11.2020. Podcast available at spotify.com. 1:42 hour.
Veena writes: “A few weeks ago i received an email from a person I didn’t know – someone called Kevin Reese who told me that he loves Osho and was inspired by my book ‘Glimpses of my Master’. He asked if he could interview me about Osho for his podcast website called ‘Inner Peace’. I was rather reluctant because I feel I am not a good speaker – I prefer writing – and I have had so many bad experiences in the past with media interviews…
I am so very glad that I did because the interview turned out to be a deep and meaningful communication. Kevin is very intelligent, perceptive and humble, and asked really in-depth, sincere questions. I was surprised to find that I was talking about Osho in a way I have seldom done before. The one hour turned into two as it seemed there was so much to discuss. The podcast was then published yesterday, on 15th November, on spotify.com” (Veena. www.oshonews.com 16.11.2020)

Roberta Lippi’s podcasts on Siddhartha, the golden boy, staying with Osho
“Episode 11. Siddharta, the Golden Boy.
Not a child of Osho, but THE child of Osho, the protagonist of this double episode of Soli is Siddharta, the Golden boy, Bhagwan’s favorite child with whom he established a unique and special bond. For this reason, Sid had become a friend with all the members of the community, loved by everyone, but also very hated and abused by Sheela: how far can human envy go? What about the resilience of a little child?
Episode 12. The kicked out.
In this second part of the episode dedicated to Siddhartha, we continue to listen to the story of the Golden Boy, his travels in search of himself and his place in the world without ever forgetting the Master, his visits to Rajneeshpuram, which Siddhartha has ever seen as the Promised Land, and the constant abuse and harassment he suffered from Sheela. Who is Siddhartha today? How does he remember that period of his life and all the people who, when he was just a child, did everything but protect him?” (Italian radio and TV screenwriter Roberta Lippi interviewed people who grew up with sannyasin parents or were sannyasins themselves.

3. Osho Music Archive at sannyas.wiki
“With two friends Sugit has created a site, the ‘Osho Music Archive’. “Not only does it list all the recordings the trio gets their hands on, you can actually listen to them! The three started work on this project in 2008 and have now put it online although it is not finished. Currently the site lists 298 albums with a total of 2.822 tracks. Google “Osho Music Archive” and be amazed.” (Viha Connection, 2012:5)

“As Sarlo says, “The site is a multiple orgasm for lovers of Osho’s music.” Organised in People, Albums, Tracks and Categories it is easy to access the wide range of music that has been created through the past 50 years. Many items are available as samples, many as full downloads. Details of nearly one thousand albums of sannyas music are available.” (Kaiyum. oshonews.com/2018/03/12)

4. 100 songs of Osho listed by Sarlo, Vancouver. Words, chords, vintage, artist/author, links at: globalserve.net/~sarlo/Songs/hHme.htm. (Viha Connection, 2007:5)

“Based on a hard-copy project originally compiled in Vancouver in 1999, this site holds the words and chords to over 100 songs written by Osho’s lovers, dedicated to him and his vision. Where known, the vintage and artist/suthor are indicated, with a link to their site. The best all-round site to connect with Osho’s musicians is Otoons Music, a subsite of Devakrishna’s massive project Otoons. He has links to the musicians’ own sites and has created pages to celebrate those who don’t have sites, with links to buy CDs. Very thorough! A few more musicians are listed, with bios and links, at Sannyas Musician, and a more commercial roster, with buy-CD links is at Prabhu Music. And to hear some of the older Pune 1 songs, check out iosho.” (From above mentioned site)

Bhikkhu from former ‘New Earth Records’ writes
“This year was also very busy with New Earth, since we went through the final stages of moving from physical CD distribution into fully digital. This was a good situation to upgrade our digital partners and join forces with stronger partner companies all based out of New York. This process took over the full year and we will finalize this change at the end of December. Most of our processes will be very automatized by then and we envision to have more free time for Osho projects next year.” (Bhikkhu. E-mail. 12.11.2020)

Waduda tells in an interview
“My partner and I are the founders of New Earth Records, an independent digital music provider featuring music designed to accompany meditation, yoga, relaxation, and the healing arts. When we started our business in Munich, Germany in 1990, we had been traveling extensively for years, experiencing diverse cultures and forming deep connections with kindred spirits from many different backgrounds. Music was always a universal language that transcended boundaries between us. Particularly in the East we witnessed music being used for meditation and spiritual enrichment, which was almost unheard of in the West at that time. We felt called to integrate these two important aspects of our lives, music and meditation, and build a family of artists who share our vision for a healthier and more balanced planet.
One of these artists (and one of our closest friends) is Georg Deuter, pioneer of the New Age Music genre in the West for more than 40 years. Deuter’s repertoire of over 50 albums continues to reach tens of millions of listeners across 92 countries every year, accumulating over 1.6 billion lifetime streams on Pandora alone.
New Earth’s albums have won numerous awards & critical acclaim over the years, including a Grammy nomination for the Gyuto Monks of Tibet, a collaborative album with Tina Turner, and an exclusive performance at Paul McCartney’s wedding. We have worked with numerous artists over the years including Parijat, Kamal, Terry Oldfield, Peter Kater, Chinmaya Dunster, Dechen Shak-Dagsay, and many others. The connections we’ve formed on our journey have always been rooted in mutual respect, inspiration, and care, building a strong network that has stood the test of time.
From the start, everything flowed naturally as our path took us from tapes to CDs to our current fully digital streaming setup.
One of the main teachings of the Chinese sage Chuang-tzu is “easy is right and right is easy”. This has always been our guiding light. Every time we meet a challenge, we remember this teaching and shift our direction.”  (www.oshonews.com 22.03.2022)

* Recording the Music for Osho’s Active Meditations. Excerpts.
An interview with Deuter (Chaitanya Hari) by Waduda and Bhikkhu, founders of the music label New Earth Records. Since the Osho Active Meditations were first recorded in Pune over 40 years ago, they have inspired millions of meditators across the globe. Chaitanya Deuter, one of the first sannyasins Osho asked to record the live meditations held in Buddha Hall, recounts his memories of that time:
“I took sannyas in February of ’73. I originally met Osho in Bombay. I had been looking for a master, following a feeling of a certain something and traveling all over Asia to find it. When I met Osho, it was like this instant ‘click’ – I knew that was the guy I had been looking for. So I closed shop in Germany where I had been living and went to India. And from then on, he taught me to make meditation music.
‘Dynamic Meditation’ was done to live music during the meditation camps we had with Osho. There were some Indian guys drumming like crazy – drumming and making noise! But there was no recording of ‘music’.
Then in Pune, in ’74, pretty much one of the very first things we did was to start working on music for the meditations. I remember that Osho had the idea of associating the flute sounds of a snake charmer with ‘Kundalini’. So I went out onto the streets and found this snake-charming guy sitting on a pavement behind the ashram. He did his tricks behind Lao Tzu House, and I recorded him playing while he was charming the snakes out of the basket. But it wasn’t the right thing. It didn’t work out; and so I started to compose the music myself.
Osho had the concept of the meditation. He explained to me what the meditation should do to the meditator and told me his ideas, what he thought might be good for it. And then, on my own, I either composed something new or took a piece from my existing collection. I would play it to him, and he would tell me what was not good, or that he couldn’t use
some part of it. It was very much trial and error.
In the beginning when we first started, he would tell me, “I have this new meditation called ‘Mandala’. These are the stages and this is what it should do in people, and the energy should flow like this.” The goal was to try to make music for that. I would then go to him and play it.
Osho would listen on headphones, and then give me feedback. Then later, he said to just do what feels right to me, and he didn’t listen to it anymore. I guess he had to hear it anyway, once we had the big speakers you couldn’t avoid the music anymore. You had to hear it from six in the morning on – every day!
I was also editing Osho’s music. He loved Indian music and I made tapes for him. He would give me an LP or a tape and tell me he wanted this piece, and this piece behing that piece; so I was constantly working on making those special things for him.
In the beginning you’re nervous, there’s someone who you see as your master, and teacher. Someone who has something more than you have, and he tells you to do something – that creates a certain anxiety or nervousness. But it was really fun to do this also. Once the music was played and people started to hop around to it and jump, that was a fun feeling.
He wanted the whole music done in the ashram. In the beginning I didn’t have a studio in the ashram. I just had this cassette recorder; it was really hard to do anything – you couldn’t cut anything, you couldn’t edit. If you needed ten minutes of music you would have to play these ten minutes and play the next ten minutes right behind it. It was really hard.
Eventually, around 1974, or 1975 I had my own studio and that’s when I made another version of ‘Kundalini’ and ‘Dynamic’ and all the other meditations…
He gave me very clear instructions. Osho said that once the music is done it shouldn’t be changed anymore. I had wanted to change it two years after it was first composed, because by then I had different equipment, different ideas and thought, “Now I can make the music much better.”
I went to Osho and said, “I want to do the ‘Kundalini’ again, this time differently,” and he said, “No, we have to leave it. It stays this way. It’s good. It works and it builds up every day as it connects with more people and energy, and it has to stay that way.”
He told me I could improve a little bit, maybe technically – it I had used pots [instead of music instruments] I could use something else in their place to make the sound better – but I couldn’t change the music at all.
Osho emphasized that it should stay the same music. He said that its effect in the meditation would build up over the years, that it would create its own energy field by itself. Over a thousand years the music would form a field of resonance that would deeply affect each person doing the meditation.
The recording was very primitive because everything electronic in India at that time was very primitive. The Indian government didn’t allow electronic machines in. You weren’t allowed to import tape recorders and things like that.
As I said, I didn’t have a recording studio, just a tape recorder, and the tapes had to be smuggled in. We used to fight over tapes; we needed them for lectures. We also wanted to make music, but lecture tapes were number one. I didn’t have the right tools, the tools I would have loved to have to make this music.
In the beginning I bought ‘thalis’ and pots. I went to the stores, and banged them, and bought the ones that sounded good. That is how I make the ‘Nadabrahma Meditation’.
Later, I went back to Europe, got my studio and brought it back to India. I shipped it over from Germany – it sat in Indian customs for almost a year. I had a four-track machine, a big Sony, and a mixing board and a Revox 2-track for mastering..
One thing that was certainly different was that it was much more difficult to make music, because of all the noise and disturbances – the ashram was so crowded. It was so full of people. The noise of constant construction… The ashram was constantly building one thing after another, there was always something going on. It brought me to tears a lot of the time. Jesus House, where I had my studio, was so full of people and activity.
Somehow it felt right for me to work [with music] in this way, allowing something to come through that was both touching me and others deeply. Within this context, it felt incredible to be doing this in the ashram, in the presence of a living Master, to serve the purpose of allowing it to come through – which was also Osho’ purpose.
It felt great. I loved making music for him. I always felt that music was for me the equivalent of service, the expression of the worshipful heart. In the beginning when I started making music for the meditation under Osho’s guidance, I felt this already. There is surrendering happening, there was something greater than me going on and I surrendered to it. And I felt like I was serving.
It was incredible. It was incredibly gratifying. I have always been playing the type of music which serves the purpose of healing or hypnosis. I love doing it.
Osho used to say that music is the last bridge into meditation. It is the highest form of art which can take you into silence. And I was always fascinated with sounds, music and silence.
It had always been a fascination to listen to where a sound comes from. Suddenly it is there and you become aware of it, and by listening to the sound and its disappearance, its fading out, you also become aware of the silence – the silence the sound was born from and died into. When you listen to just one sound, like the gurgling of a fountain, you suddenly become aware of the silence too.” (www.oshonews.com”>www.oshonews.com 16.05.2020)
One more interview with Chaitanya Deuter by Sw Madhunad in the late eighties in Pune is also at Osho News. Deuter is the composer and recording artist of many of the Osho’s meditations, including Kundalini, Dynamic, Nadabrahma, Nataraj and others. He lives in rural New Mexico where he continues to create meditative music in his home studio.

* Jyoti Ma Audio Collection
“This music was on CDs of Ma Dharm Jyoti. She used them as she was traveling for leading meditation camps. The material is from Ma Dham Jyoti. Sw Satya Anuragi has kindly provided it to the Wiki. Jyoti left the ashram in the year 2000. This music is, according to her, from 1998. (Some is from other times, as mentioned on the Album pages.)
Whenever she was going to lead meditation camps, she would ask the music department for some new music. She also mentions that every Saturday, after White Robe and dinner, it was a Keertan night. There are some CD’s of the Keertan from that period. There is also one CD on which Mata Ji sang a Keertan, which is marked separately. This was after she returned from hospital and just a few days before she left her body.
There are WR with Hindi Keertan and music. And there are two CDs titled ‘East Meets West’. These are live singing in Buddha Hall.” (Here follows 18 album pages with music at www.sannyas.wiki)

“This was the first film about the Shree Rajneesh Ashram in Poona, India, which started in March 1974. It is filmed in December 1975 around Osho’s birthday celebration, he was then 44 years young. This was also the last very intimate and personal celebration, with sannyasins dancing and could go and touch Bhagwan’s feet with total devotion. You see also Osho’s father bowing down and touching His feet as a disciple of his own son.This is the last stage of the project we started in 1995. This film was originally on 16 mm and was shown in movie theaters. We got it transferred onto VHS/PAL video tape in 1980, to be able to show it on TV in our Center in Munic. Anubhuti Center was closed as a public place in 1982, and this video tape was packed away with other things and was in our cellar (basement or Keller) till 1995 when, while cleaning up we found it. Naturally the tape was in a bad condition. We tried first to find the original film, but could not. This film is a rare document, so we decided to save and preserve it. We got it re-mastered and transferred to a digital tape and distributed it exclusively to Osho Centers around the world as a VHS tape. So some of you might have this film as a video tape.We have now produced it as a DVD film video. These DVD disks are produced in a professional Lab from our Master Tape. As DVD it is of better quality in color, sound and brightness than on a VHS tape. This DVD video we are also offering to individual sannyasins, as well as to Osho centers.This film is not available in the market through any of the Osho audio-video distributors and we don’t think it will be. But if any Osho Center or sannyas business wants to distribute and sell it, we are prepared to give it at cost price. As Osho Anubhuti does not have a business of selling books or audio-video tapes, this is not a commercial operation for us to make money with. It is simply our joy in sharing a rare and beautiful document with you.” (Sw Surendra Bharti. Coordinator Anubhuti OMC. Letter 05.05.1997 & e-mail. 15.10.2006)

“Much of the documentary shows the events on Osho’s birthday, Dec 11, 1975. The discourse Osho gave on that day was ‘Come Follow Me’ Vol 3 #6. This film has the only known recording of that event: parts of the discourse are shown, and more of Osho’s words are used as a voice-over.” (www.sannyas.wiki 07.02.2020)

“What was it like to walk with Jesus in Galilee? To dance with Krishna and the Gopis? To meditate in the commune of Gautam Buddha? Many of us have wondered and imagined – but of course there never was, nor ever will be, a photographic record of those world-shaking events. Today, though, things are different.I have just watched a video which captures events that may well in the course of time prove every bit as memorable – a film made by an American director in the Shree Rajneesh Ashram, Poona, in 1975. The film is narrated, without lip-synch, and subtitled in German. For years it was lost in a Munic cellar and, especially at the beginning, has suffered a little damage – yet strangely this only gives a greater sense of history in the making, captured in unique and intimate footage, beginning and ending with the personal reflections of the film-maker.In those early days, the ashram was a distinctively Indian experience. The bicycles and rickshaws of the Poona streets, the children and the buffalo, are evocatively captured – so much so that I almost seemed to smell the myriad smells and feel the midday heat. Many of the scenes within the ashram gates were shot on a celebration day, and here too the proceedings are very much Indian, including puja-offerings of flowers, incense and even a decorated cow to the guru, with his mother and father in attendance. The ashram at this stage, consisted of little more than a single house. Such a record as this can only be a revelation to those who came later. There is the master in the midst of the dancing throng, people pushing to touch his feet, some having to be carried away, out of their senses from that most intimate contact. The ashram musicians provide the soundtrack, together with well-chosen excerpts from a discourse on Jesus. There is also long and fascinating sequences of the Dynamic and Kundalini meditations – it is a rare thing to be able to sit and watch these in progress, to notice the tentativeness of some, the stiffness of others, the beautiful flowing energy, or devotion, or meditativeness of others again. There are even shots of the first experiments in group therapy. And here, too, it is very clear how small and ramshackle-intimate the commune then was, at a time when the first flood of Western sanyasins was only just beginning to gather. This film is an unmissable experience for anyone who has any interest at all in its subject. Nobody could miss the sense of privilege – almost like witnessing a birth – nor fail to be impressed by what has been achieved since. The order, cleanliness and assurance was yet to come – but here is passion, intensity, discovery, ecstasy.” (Sw Prem Sakal. www.sannyasnews.com 2006)

“Film available on Vimeo as “Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Osho – Film Document”. OIF claims to own the copyright of the film and has requested YouTube to take it down. For years it was lost and, especially at the start of the film, has suffered a little damage – yet strangely this only gives a greater sense of history in the making, captured in unique and intimate footage, beginning and ending with the personal reflections of the film-maker… Take the chance and watch it – you will want to see it again and again – and let your heart be awoken anew to the real power and mystery of life with a master.” (www.sannyas.wiki 07.02.2020)

“Sagar in Freiburg told us about the Osho Film Festival, which recently took place in several German cities. The festival was organized by Manik and featured, among others, the hour-long film Bhagwan – Poona 1975. Sagar was intrigued with how it came to be made. Robert Hillman was a young filmmaker in San Francisco, who received a gift of several thousand dollars from a mysterious donor to go and film Osho in Pune. It was his first assignment, and he simply bought the equipment and traveled to the ashram. There he started filming and captured the whole atmosphere of the ashram at that time. At the end of the film he says that he was confused by the whole experience, but that he was aiming to be the filming and not the filmer (i.e. the dancing and not the dancer, to quote Osho).” (Viha Connection, 2004:6)

– Ashram in Poona: Bhagwan’s Experiment.. A documentary filmed 1978.. 1:35 hour. Color. Language: English, German. Released in BRD 1979 (USA 1981). Directed and written by Wolfgang Dobrowolny (Sw Veet Artho) and others. Produced by Helmut and Wolfgang Dobrowolny. Cinematography: Wolfgang Dobrowolny and Peter Clausen. Music by Jacky Carter and Georg Deuter. There are different versions with different year-designations, e.g. OZVA 82. On www.sannyas.wiki are two versions: one without English voice.over (and German interviews) and one with an English voice-over. An absolutely unique historical document from Poona One. A penetrating and intimate portrait of life in the ashram with staged images from encounter groups with top therapists (Somendra and Teertha). Furthermore footage of darshans, sufi dancing and nice footage of Laxmi (00:18:30).. An inside experience like being there yourself.

“Many of the seeming contradictions in the early Pune community were even further highlighted with the release of the film ‘Ashram’ by a former German sannyasin named Wolfgang Dobrowolny in 1978. The film included a fifteen-minute sequence that showed explicit violence during a seven-day nude encounter group held in a padded room. Soon major newspapers in the United States, such as the ‘Los Angeles Times’, reported that the path to enlightenment at the ashram involved not simply Neo-Tantric sexual freedom but also “broken bones, black eyes, bloody noses, and shattered egos.” (Urban 2015, p. 97)

“The film “Ashram,” made by the German filmmaker Wolfgang Dobrowolny in 1978, documents some of the risks they took with cathartic techniques, group groping, and so on, for at the time the Rajneeshee thought of these therapies as advertisements for the ashram. (They went as far as to stage some of them for the film.)” (FitzGerald 1986, #I, p. 83)

Vikrant writes in his ‘From Esalen to Pune’
“It took me two years to find the German film director Wolfgang Dobrowolny, creator of ‘Ashram’, who had retired to Thailand. I got him to make me a copy, the only one in the world apart from his, of the controversial documentary. Dobrowolny had withdrawn the rights worldwide of this film due to the illegal copy made by Catholic groups of his film. It contained the only extant footage made of the confrontational therapy groups led by Paul Lowe and Michael Barnett at Osho’s ‘ashram’ in Pune, India during the 1970s.” (Sentis 2022, p. 21)

“In 1978 a German film maker visited the ashram in Poona and created a unique document about Osho, his Sannyasins and the ashram. He was the first and only film maker whom Osho ever permitted to film inside the legendary encounter groups. These pictures shocked the west. Scenes like this had never been seen before: screaming naked men and women, fighting with each other in a clumsy little room full of mattresses. The prudish imagination of middle class couch potatoes went wild. Significant numbers of celebrities had been visiting this exotic place in India and the tabloids had already labeled Osho as the “Sex-Guru” but nobody had ever seen what was really happening there. This documentary created an outburst of emotion in the late 1970s and went deep into the common unconsciousness of western societies. Even though it was the basis of the fanatic condemnation of Osho in the west, it also lead thousands of interested young people to Poona. This film dominates public discussion to this day about Osho, spiritual search and group therapy. It is an absolutely unique historical document.”  (Description from Osho Film Festival. www.swami.de)

Krishna Prem talking about the visiting Christopher Hitchens who said something about the BBC acquiring film material of this film:
“What he writes doesn’t worry me as much as that bit he dropped about Veet Artho selling the BBC some of his footage, I reply. That mock encounter group Laxmi had set up for Veet Artho and his German crew to film is still, for me, one of her major booboos. The subject’s been unbroachable ever since and so, since she’s in Delhi, I take my concern to one of her secretaries. “I’ll get onto the BBC and tell them Veet Artho’s broken his contract with us – which he has, the schmuck – and let them know he’s got no right to sell them anything, that the film legally belongs to us,” she says. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.” (Allanach 2010, p. 310)

A quote from Krishna Prem’s letter to Christopher Hitchens
“Next, you talk about the film by Wolfgang Dobrowolny – or Veet Artho as we knew him, that was shot in “secret.” More invention on your part. Laxmi, Osho’s secretary and the Foundation’s managing trustee, fell for Veet Artho’s sweet talk and, despite repeated and vociferous warnings from me and others that it would come back to haunt us, gave him permission to shoot footage of an encounter group in which physical expression was allowed – an initiative of encounter group leader Teertha which Osho immediately instructed be dropped as soon as someone got hurt.

Laxmi’s mandate was, as she put it, that “word (of Osho’s availability in Pune) must reach all the corners of the world,” and in her naivety (she’d never been outside India) she thought people would see how liberating it was to free themselves from repressed emotions and traumas and flock to Pune. It came as a shock to her to learn that the majority of people back in the 1970s, when faced with a reflux of suppressed emotion or childhood pain chose, rather than dealing with it, to have another fag and pour another couple of stiff drinks.
By the way, Dobrowolny never owned the rights to the film. They were retained by the Foundation, and the BBC’s use of the footage was illegal.” (www.sannyas.wiki)

“The ashram management used the opportunity of my parents’ visit to test public reaction to a new film called ‘Ashram in Poona’, which had just been completed by a German film-maker called Wolfgang Dobrowolny. He’d been given access to the Encounter Group, albeit a staged form of it – all the participants in the film had done the group before and were brought together for a few hours to recreate the atmospheres.” (Subhuti 2019, p. 97)

“Re: Veet Artho’s film “Ashram in Poona.” We would like everyone to be aware that Veet Artho (Wolfgang Dobrowolny) is no longer a sannyasin. The reason is that when he was a sannyasin, he was given the opportunity to film the activities at Shree Rajneesh Ashram but he missed this opportunity. He showed us one film for our approval but released another one which had not been approved at all. He has broken all contracts that he had made with Rajneesh Foundation. In interviews with newspapers and magazines he has spoken against Bhagwan and against Shree Rajneesh Ashram. He has earned large profits on the film, but has not fulfilled the terms of the contract. The mutual trust between us has been broken, He had only taken sannyas so that he could film the ashram and as soon as the filming was over he dropped sannyas. All centers and sannyasins are requested to be aware not to support him or his film in any way as he is portraying a completely wrong picture of Shree Rajneesh Ashram and its activities.” (Rajneesh Foundation Newsletter, 1981:7)

“First showing of “Ashram in Poona” scheduled in San Francisco at the Lumiere Theatre; film made by former sannyasin (Rajneeshee) Wolfgang Dobrowolny in 1978-79 and reported to depict sex and violence in an encounter group (The Bulletin, Bend 8-31)…
Nov 18: “Ashram in Poona” opens in Portland at the Fifth Avenue Cinema and in Ashland…
Nov 20: RFI withdraws the Multnomah County Circuit Court motion to halt the showing of “Ashram in Poona”, saying that they merely wished the contract for release and profit-sharing to be abided by; the film said to be playing to packed houses in Portland… Dec 4: “Ashram in Poona” begins one week showing in Bend… Dec 10: “Ashram” begins showing in The Dalles.” (Shay 1990)

“The Indian Express of Bombay reported that Vilas Tupe has shown to the press and sent to government officials a copy of an old video called “False Prophets” containing some rather savoury scenes which he claims are happening in the ashram at Rajneesh Mandir. The Maharashtra Herald reported also that Tupe was planning to show the video publicly. “It is an absolute lie,” said Swami Anand Svabhav, President of Rajneeshpuram Neo-Sannyas Commune, “to say that such things are happening here. The video is an outright fake.”
“Eight or nine years ago,” explains Svabhav, “an English therapist named Michael Barnett came to the Ashram and took sannyas. As it later turned out, that was just a ruse. Actually, it seems he was part of a conspiracy to destroy the Ashram. He had secretly brought with him a movie-maker, and, unknown to the Ashram authorities, he staged a mock ‘encounter group’ in which he arranged for people to appear naked and semi naked.”
“He told the actors that this was for a movie about therapy and told them to act as if they were insane, which they did. Both the therapist and the movie-maker left immediately after the film sequence was taken, and the first thing the Ashram authorities knew about it was when they saw the movie a year later.” (Press Release. 18.02.1987. #305. One page. Video About Ashram a Fake, Says Ashram President. Swami Anand Maitreya)

“A book with an orange cover showing a mala appeared in the stores and became a scandalous bestseller. A film called “Ashram in Pune” was shown all over the country. (Anasha. In: Keerti 2000, p. 117)

– News coverage in the US
“News from Poona. On the evening of March 10th, after darshan, a video was shown in Buddha Hall of a series of programs which were telecast on American TV. The first was a broadcast from Montclair, New Jersey where residents of the Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center were interviewed. Then on to Channel 4, NBC, in a telecast from January 19th – complete with commercials – where Ma Amrita Pritam, the former Shannon Jo Ryan, daughter of Californian congressman Leo Ryan, who was murdered at Jonestown, Guyana, was interviewed. She spoke about her experience as a sannyasin and her first meeting with Bhagwan. This was followed by ABC, Channel 7 World News, which broadcasts from New York at 6.30 pm to over 40 million viewers. This program, telecast on March 1st, gave news of everything from a firemen strike in Milwaukee to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans to Ronald Reagan – and to an interview with Ma Pritam. Both NBC and ABC, the largest networks in the US, showed footage from our videotapes of Bhagwan, darshan, a celebration, meditations etc. Then, as a finale, New Jersey local news broadcasted Ma Amrita Pritam with Ma Anand Sheela at Chidvilas. They both answered beautifully and spontaneously; the interviewer tried to link Bhagwan with Jonestown and even called in William Goldberg – a mind control specialist who helps keep young people out of ‘cults’!” (Rajneesh Foundation Newsletter, 1981:7)

– The Rising Moon. The Early Years 1968-1975. 1988. 33:30 min. Color and b&w. VHS video and DVD. Osho Verlag. Produced by Sw Anand Bhikkhu and Ma Deva Waduda. Sound re-recording: Sw Jalal. It should be noted that there are several versions in circulation. The original historic footage has been placed between more recent footage of discourses, some as late as 1988. Depending on the version, the credits are different and the music that has been placed over the original footage, is different as well. Additionally, all of the historical footage of the film was later used in the documentary ‘Osho 1931-1990’ (1996), among many others.

Sw Anand Bhikkhu adds: “In 1998, while I was part of the video team at the Osho commune, I heard about some 16mm footage from the early days of Osho that was stored in the Osho archive in Zürich. I worried about the deterioration of the 16mm film. I volunteered to start a project to rescue this film material and transfer it onto 1-inch video tape. The project got a green light from the higher ups, and I flew out to Zürich. I met the foundation lawyer and we entered the archive. We found three 16mm reels. I flew to Amsterdam and transferred the reels onto 1-inch video  tape, then flew the tape back to India. After reviewing the footage, I suggested that we assemble all of this material into a new short film. I edited the material together and added Osho quotes and a contemporary Osho soundtrack in a Mumbai studio. This took a few trips from Pune to Mumbai by train. Then I sent it to Osho, and he apparently liked it, suggesting the title ‘The Rising Moon’. For a few years, this film circulated around the sannyasin community, and the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country (2018) used some footage in episode 01. Further research shows that originally there were four 16mm reels, but one was lost. One professional cameraman, Jhaveri [Zaveri], filmed Osho leaving Mumbai on his way to Pune on March 21^st, 1974. The other footage of Mount Abu, Nargol, etc. was filmed by other paid professionals.” (E-mails 06.03. & 14.10.2019).

Nikalank says: “Some preserved footage from early meditation camps where Acharya Rajneesh is leading the meditations is included in the video ‘The Rising Moon’ covering the period 1968-1975 (Osho Verlag), and the first film recording of a lecture is from Cross Maidan in Bombay April 1970.”

As mentioned, some early footage in ‘The Rising Moon’ was made by hired professional film makers on 16 mm film reels. This footage was later given by Leheru bhai to Laxmi, and is now with Atul at Osho World, Delhi. Registration with 2210 entries.

– “The Oregonian series is archived  at http://www.oregonlive.com/rajneesh/index.ssf/rajneesh_story:archieve.html. A retrospective series of articles in April 2011 by Les Zaitz, the key Oregonian reporter on the story in the 1980s, features the community’s criminal activities and final collapse (http:www.oregonlive.com/Rajneesh/).” (Abbot 2015, note 68)

– KATU, Portland’s ABC television network, ran a seven-part series about the Rajneeshees in November, 1983 that was so biased and inaccurate that even the Oregonian’s TV reviewer, Peter Farrell said that it had a strong stress on the negative, and that it “added considerable fuel to the hostility many Oregonians feel toward the commune residents.” (Murphy 1986, p. 163)

– Was Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Poisoned by Ronald Reagan’s America?
“Presented by the author [Sue Appleton], this video uses excerpts from Bhagwan’s first discourses after His seven week long illness in Nov. 1987, to bring up many questions about Bhagwan’s arrest and incarceration in America only answerable by the US government. Why6 did it take twelve days to transport Bhagwan from North Carolina to Portland, Oregon, a five hour plane trip? Why did Bhagwan have to register as ‘David Washington’ in the Oklahoma City jail? How was it that for three days Bhagwan’s attorneys and the press had no information as to His whereabouts? Why, in the Portland jail, was Bhagwan placed in a room by Himself in a building that had just been evacuated due to a bomb threat? Like a true detective Sue Appleton traces the events of Bhagwan’s last weeks in America to expose the conspiracy by the US government to silence this single man of truth forever.

“This beautifully produced film uses excerpts from the video “The Manifesto” and recent discourses of Bhagwan to highlight His message given in this book. Our present belief in the priests and politicians, nations, the family, science and technology is leading us to global suicide. Bhagwan shares His vision of creating a better humanity by outlining the steps He sees as critical if there is to be any future and offering us a practical alternative of putting decision making in the hands of the intelligent and creative people, the scientists, artists and writers. Through meditation and the dropping of our past conditionings we can create a more harmonious humanity. Narrated by George Meredith M.D., M.B., MRCP. 12 minutes duration. Rs. 280 in Poona.” (Rajneesh Newsletter (Digital). 26.09.1988)

First in-depth documentary and a quite intelligent project, with lots of relevant quotes from Osho’s discourses, the story of Osho’s history including Oregon, what happened in America, the World Tour. In the film, an Australian family is followed, where the husband, Matthew, has decided to go to Poona. His wife, Carol, is 7 months pregnant and is against his going, as “Bhagwan is very much against the nuclear family” and she needs her husband to be there. Pictures of the building of Osho’s new bedroom, his library and Osho signing a book. Interviewees: Devageet, Samvado, Turiya, Udagama, Anando, Sw Siddhartha, Osho’s mother talking with Sw Chaitanya Keerti (17 min 14 sec), Ma Alma, Sw Prem Niren.

“Vision Quests Films has staged a television coup. The crew was granted exclusive and unprecedented personal access to Rajneesh himself, and to the exotic private and public lifestyles that have earned him headlines around the world. The picture that emerges of Rajneesh and his ashram is a lively, irreverent one. The disciples around him are lighthearted in intimate and revealing portraits – both the members of his inner circle as well as those who come to visit, from a Vogue model and former CIA agent to a German princess and a Soviet film team…
Objectively and provocatively, Rajneesh: Spiritual Terrorist! profiles one of the most enigmatic men of our time, and provides an in-depth account that far surpasses any of the over-simplified reports the world media has offered the public to date.” (Promotion flyer. 1989)

“The documentary also provides intimate portraits of some of the disciples around Rajneesh, including a young American actor, a former CIA agent, a German princess and Rajneesh’s personal dentist. Rajneesh’s own origins are traced as well – from his early years and his rise to prominence in India, to his role in the much-publicised American commune that collapsed when he was deported from the USA… Recommended for mature audiences 15 years and over. Occasional coarse language.” (Excerpt from video cassette)

On October 19, 1989, Australian national television, Channel Two, aired the one-hour documentary. There were 12 reviews of the program printed in Australian newspapers. Shown on Finnish television on 10.07.1991. Shown on Swedish TV Kanal 1 on 03.12.1990, and also sold to Denmark, Holland and Japan.

– Anando on videos published in late 1990
“We have just produced a really amazing new video tape of Osho conducting two meditations in Buddha Hall – gibberish and stop exercises. It was Osho’s own idea. He titled it ‘Osho Morning and Evening Meditations’, and the tape begins with Him leading the White Robe Brotherhood in gibberish, silence and let-go, guiding His people to go intensely and urgently deeper and deeper to their centre. It then shows Him in one of His most dynamic appearances in Buddha Hall, moving around the podium with tremendous force and energy, alternate dancing and making big eyes at AV, then suddenly freezing in mid-air. The tape comes in a special jacket with Osho’s signature and picture, and is a very powerful visual experience…
Coming soon will be another powerful video, and one for which many have been waiting for a long time – ‘Evening Satsang With The Master’. This will have two or three evenings with Osho leading the White Robe Brotherhood in His special 7pm meditation, and it will be followed by a second similar video, so you can have a choice of videos to watch if you show them frequently.” (Osho Words. 10.10.1990.

Thousands of… men and women pour through the gate every day, from Europe, America, Australia and Japan… Diplomats from New Delhi fly here for spa-type weekends.” (The Wall Street Journal). “Visit this remarkable ashram to see for yourself.” (Vogue Magazine).

It follows him in India, the United States, and on the 1986 world tour – a phenomenally fast dash across four continents when more than 20 countries either refused to let him in or deported him at gunpoint. It presents an informative and vivid portrait of this contemporary master, his work and a legacy that will endure.” (See also: OTI, 1990:24).

“Swami Antar Manik has devoted his life to bringing Osho closer to many people all over the globe, through his Osho Film Festivals, which he runs throughout the year. The film archive he has established in Germany is impressive and includes many old and new documentaries, TV productions, ans news footage. These include a rare video called ‘Bhagwan 1975’ (filmed by an American sannyasin in the ashram), sannyasin documentaries such as ‘The Rising Moon’, Rajneeshpuram videos from the World Tour, Pune Two, German, English, and American TV productions. I am always delighted to see footage from those magical years when we sat at the feet of the Master… Should you wish to contribute to Manik’s collection, please let him know. manik@swami.de”
“Sagar in Freiburg told us about the Osho Film Festival, which recently took place in several German cities. The festival was organized by Manik and featured, among others, the hour-long film Bhagwan – Poona 1975. Sagar was intrigued with how it came to be made. Robert Hillman was a young filmmaker in San Francisco, who received a gift of several thousand dollars from a mysterious donor to go and film Osho in Pune. It was his first assignment, and he simply bought the equipment and traveled to the ashram. There he started filming and captured the whole atmosphere of the ashram at that time. At the end of the film he says that he was confused by the whole experience, but that he was aiming to be the filming and not the filmer (i.e. the dancing and not the dancer, to quote Osho). (Viha Connection, 2004:6)

“Lastly, a TV documentary entitled Kinder der Erleuchtung (Children of Enlightenment) was aired a few months ago in Germany and Switzerland. It was produced by Katharina, daughter of Ma Varda, who is Ma Deva Nandan’s sister. It is a film about what children went through during the time they were living in the ashram with their sannyasin parents in the ’70s… mothers trying to come to terms with the problems and hurts their children experienced as a result of growing up in a world they didn’t choose for themselves. But they also disclose the joyful parts of the experience.
Many delightful still photos of the ashram are shown in the film: footage of Pune landmarks (even the Blue Diamond swimming pool!), ashram scenes, Energy Darshan, and Music Group. Then there is some ancient footage of Osho in discourse (in 1975), saying, ‘the dancer and the dance etc..’ (Come Follow to You, vol.1, Ch.3). And of course, there is the now-famous footage of the Encounter and Tantra groups that created such outrage back then…” (Viha Connection, 2005:1)

– Bhagwan: Die Deutschen und der Guru. (Bhagwan: The Germans and the Guru) Documentary by Jobst Knigge. 2021. 90 minutes. Interview with Sw Ramateertha.   Produced by WDR (German public TV).

“We thought that although not everybody understands German, the footage is too beautiful not to be shown worldwide…. It portrays 13 men and women by just letting them tell their stories. No questions are being asked, no comments or further explanations are given. They just sit in front of the camera and talk, their memories illustrated by matching videos and photos.” (www.oshonews.com 27.02.2021)

– The Rebellious Flower. Subtitle: The Flight of the Heart beyond  Time and Space. 2016. 1 hour 49 min. Color. Released 15.01.2016. Inspired by the life and vision of Osho Rajneesh. In loving memory of Sw Anand Satya. Subtitles in Hindi, English and Dutch available.
Indian-made biographical movie in Hindi of Rajneesh’s early life, based upon his own recollections and those who knew him. Written and produced by Jagdish Bharti and directed by Krishan Hooda, with Prince Shah and Shashank Singh playing the title role. Musician Allauddin Khan was conferred with the Alex North Award for Best Original Score at the Tenerife International Film Music Festival 2017 for his work on the film.  The film is backed by Osho Foundation and will hit the screens in India in January 2016. Winning the Special Mention Jury Award at Salento International Festival held in Tricase, Italy. February 2016.

“The only successful Hindi film on Osho has been ‘Rebellious Flower’ released in 2016. Directed by Krishan Hooda in his directorial debut, it was written and produced by Osho disciple Jagdish Bharti and had the approval of Pune’s Osho Resort. It presents Osho’s early years until he became enlightened and was well-received by his disciples and admirers. A low-budget film since it was mostly shot in villages and rural outdoors where Osho lived during his early years, the film won Special Mention Jury Award at the 12th Salento International Film Festival, Italy.
After this success, Jagdish Bharti has written the screenplay for a sequel covering Osho’s life from Jabalpur to Mumbai, on to Pune, to the USA and back, until he left his body. This would be a big budget film due to its localities and the number of actors needed.” (www.oshonews,com 11.03.2021)

“I have mentioned several times in this column Jagdish Bharti’s movie about Osho’s early years, ‘The Rebellious Flower’. I tried for years to import the DVD to make it available to our  customers, but finally had to give up. Now I see that the movie is available on www.YouTube.com, both the Hindi version, which has been viewed 107.932 times when I last checked, and the one with English subtitles (175,699 viewings).” (Dhanyam. Viha Connection, 2019:4)

Zenin Production is announcing a sequel to Rebellious Flower, a feature film on Osho’s childhood that was released on 15 January 2018, and has in the meantime earned numerous international awards.
“A sequel will be a challenge: to present the ‘deeper spirituality’ in visual form. Our task will face many hurdles and challenges for sure, but we are determined to translate our dream project to rare visual and sound treats in the coming one and a half years… As it is impossible for an actor to portray an Enlightened One, A Buddha, Osho’s presence will be depicted only by showing his body from various angles and artfully excluding his face, but including recordings of Osho’s intoxicating voice.” says Jagdish Bharti. (oshonews.com/2018/10/22)

– A web series based on Osho’s life also with music by Allauddin Khan is forthcoming (2017).

– “The Pune Mirror reports that Vinod Khanna, famous Indian actor and sannyasin, is the creative advisor for a movie highlighting two important phases in Osho’s life: when He left India for the US in 1981, and when He departed the US in 1985. The movie will be co-produced by Vinod’s nephew, Akhil Kapur.” (Viha Connection, 2017:2)

– “How the innocent and intrinsic questions of a child ripen into the inner rebellion of a youth, through which ultimately a rebellious flower blooms, who shares the fragrance unconditionally.

– Secret of Love. Hindi movie directed by Ritesh S. Kumar. The film is made by Osho disciple Velji Bhai Galam ( aka Aamir Khan). Story by Vishal Chhadwa. Cinematography: Badal Mani. Edited by Anand A. Singh. Production company: Premal Kranti films. Released in May 2021. Color. In Hindi. The film is based on events during the life of Osho.
Ravi Kishan is seen on screen in the role of Osho Rajneesh, with Vivek Anand Mishra and Jayesh Kapoor as supporting actors.. Due to copyright Osho’s name is not mentioned in the title of the film. The film has been shot in cities like Kashi, Gujarat, Goa, Jabalpur, and Mumbai. Delayed 7-8 months due to Covid lock down.
“Recently our Google Alert has sent numerous articles in Indian newspapers about ‘Secrets of Love’, in which mega-star Ravi Kishan portrays Osho. In interviews the actor mentioned that he was cast in the role because the filmmakers saw “that the depth in my eyes has a uncanny similarity with Osho’s,” and that one Osho “follower” who was present during the filming “broke down and kissed my hand, and mentioned that my energy and aura reminded them of Osho. Really? The movie is due for release in early summer. At this time, I don’t know whether it will be released in the West.” (Dhanyam. Viha Connection, 2021:3)
“Playing Osho a life-changing experience: Ravi Kishan.
Actor-politician Ravi Kishan is playing Acharya Rajneesh, or Osho, in the upcoming film ‘Secrets Of Love’, based on the spiritual guru’s life. He says he was always curious to know more about Osho, who attracted so many people worldwide to follow his path.
‘My initial fascination towards Osho was different and it intrigued me due to the spiritual journey of another actor – Vinod Khanna. Vinod Khanna was on the top of his game, a superstar, when he left everything and set on a journey to America following Osho. We all know that he and Amitabh Bachchan had a rivalry and there is always a conversation on how Amitabh Bachchan became a megastar after Vinod Khanna left acting and superstardom. The point is how could a man leave everything for a spiritual guru? Doing the film was an opportunity for me to explore these thoughts,’ Ravi told IANS.
While the actor went through a detailed script and workshop to find the right body language, and read several books on Osho, he explained how the film was a journey for him.
*Initially I even asked the makers why they were casting me, and I was told that the depth in my eyes has a uncanny similarity with Osho’s. After a look test and a certain transformation I realized it. My father was a priest and there is a certain spiritual practice we are exposed to from childhood. Perhaps that is why I embodied the character better. It was a life-changing experience,’ shared the actor…
‘Secrets Of Love’ is directed by Ritesh S. Kumar and the story is based on a series of real-life incidents that happened in Osho’s lifetime. There were several real-life Osho followers features in the film as character actors, Ravi recalled…. The actor informed the film’s post-production work would start soon.” (National Herald. India. 11.03.2021)

“In 2013, nearly 30 years after the end of Rajneeshpuram, two film making brothers, Maclain and Chapman Way, were in Oregon to make a documentary about an independent baseball team called the Portland Mavericks. While on location, several local people, whom they were interviewing made remarks to them like, “Hey, if you guys enjoy making documentaries, you should have been here 30 years ago!”
That’s how the Way brothers heard about “the Rajneesh invasion” and the conflict that ensued between the sect and the state. Still, they didn’t think much about it until they stumbled on a treasure trove: 300 hours of archive footage about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers.
The fact that this footage existed at all was a fluke, since in those days videotapes used by local television news affiliates were routinely recycled, over and over again, each time erasing the story that had been told the night before. But enough Oregon news channels realized the importance of the Rajneesh saga to preserve their tapes, which ultimately ended up in the hands of the Way brothers. The more footage they watched, the more intrigued they became and soon conceived the idea of a six-and-a-half-hour documentary series. Thus, the hit documentary ‘Wild Wild Country’ was born.
Interviewed after Netflix launched the series, both brothers said they would have enjoyed living and working at the Ranch, while making it clear they wouldn’t have been involved in criminal activities. Similar sentiments were echoed by Mark Duplass, one of the executive producers who helped the brothers make the series and sell it to Netflix.
“These were some of the greatest minds of their generation,” reflected Duplass, in an interview about the Rajneesh community, “They were Harvard graduates in city planning and engineering who came together, brought all their resources and built a city out of scratch.”
He was particularly impressed by the green technology used in farming and protecting the environment, and by the promotion of women as leaders in the commune key management positions, which he regarded as way ahead of its time.” (Waight (Subhuti) 2019, p. 250)
”Shantam Lani, Osho’s World Ambassador and former Rajneeshpuram resident, speaks to Tracy Alexander on Israel’s ’24NEWS’ in the wake of the Netflix Wild Wild Country. Published on May 28, 2018.”
“The recent decision by Osho Foundation, the official managers of Osho’s legacy, to sue Netflix for infringing copyright, when using old video footage of the mystic and his Oregon experiment in ‘Wild Wild Country’, shouldn’t create problems for Priyanka Chopra [planning biopic on Ma Anand Sheela].
If successful in its lawsuit, Osho Foundation will certainly be able to limit how the 300 hours of archive material, stored in Oregon and accessed by the Wy brothers, is used in future. But it won’t affect the impersonation of historical characters by actors in regular movies, which is what Chopra is proposing.” (Subhuti. www.oshonews.com 03.02.2019)
“Meanwhile OIF’s legal battle against WWC is continuing and even expanding. Defendant Netflix replied to OIF’s complaint by denying pretty much every point in it and asserted that Osho’s work is in the public domain so that OIF doesn’t own it. Netflix also demanded a (costly) jury trial. Here at Viha we received a subpoena from OIF to produce materials like sales records and had to hire a lawyer to help us. And just days ago news arrived that OIF is now suing a large number of news outlets for their use of Osho photos in connection with the Netflix series.” (Dhanyam. Viha Connection, 2020:1)
“After much time, energy and what must be enormous amount of dollars in attorney fees, OIF dropped their lawsuit against Netflix and numerous news outlets. I wonder what has been accomplished by this suit. It seems that all involved parties are staying silent about what happened behind the scenes.” (Dhanyam. Viha Connection, 2020:3)

-“Over the past years I have mentioned several plans for movies about Osho but almost all of these plans fizzled out, including one that was going to star Priyanka Chopra in the role of Sheela. It appears that Sheela didn’t give permission for this movie, so it didn’t happen.” (Dhanyam. Viha Connection, 2021:3)

– “Swami Alok John is working on a feature film about Osho’s life and work, with the title ‘The Orange Buddha: The Life of Indian Mystic Osho.’ The movie is not to be a documentary; actors would play Osho and other roles. There will be a bub-plot around the transformation of three young sannyasins.” (Viha Connection, 2007:3)

– “A couple of major Bollywood directors announced movies on Osho recently, but these projects fizzled out.” (Kul Bhushan. E-mail. 20.09.2018)

– Karan Johar is to produce a film on Osho. Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is all set to jump on the biopic bandwagon with a film on the controversial figure Acharya Rajneesh, who ruled minds and hearts in the 1970s. The godman also had a huge impact on Bollywood denizens like Mahesh Bhatt, Parveen Babi and Vinod Khanna. The biopic will apparently go into all the controversial areas of Rajneesh’s life. Director Shakun Batra, who has made Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu and Kapoor And Sons for Karan Johar, will helm the film. Ranveer Singh may have the lead role of playing Osho. (The Asian Age. 22.02.2018)
“Media reports that Bollywood film on Osho by director and producer Karan Johar has petered out late 2018.

– “Alia Bhatt and Aamir Khan were in talks for the Osho biopic by Shakun Batra… Now sources say that the show may not go ahead after Priyanka Chopra has agreed to play Ma Anand Sheela in a Hollywood film directed by Oscar-winner Barry Levinson.” (Deccan Chronicle. 28.02.2019)
“Shakun Batra will be directing a film on Bhagwan Rajneesh, better known as Osho, with Aamir Khan playing the lead, and Alia Bhatt playing the role of Osho’s personal secretary, Ma Anand Sheela. Priyanka Chopra has also announced that she will be producing a film on Ma Sheela, with herself in the lead. But Ma Sheela has stated that she does not want Priyanka Chopra making a film on her, and has even sent legal notices to the team, but hasn’t heard back from them…
On the other hand, Sheela has given her blessings to Alia portraying her on screen. She believes Alia has the spunk in her which she did when she was her age. “Spunk is very necessary and it is very natural, it is not artificial, not cosmetic, it is genuine,” she said.” (Srushti Jayadev. Filmbeat. 22.12.2019)
“In our last issue we reported that that OIF has hit Netflix with a copyright infringement lawsuit over its series Wild Wild country. As a result, a web series starring Bolluwood stars Aamir Khan, who was supposed to portray Osho, and Alia Bhatt, who was going to be Sheela, seems to have been shelved. The Barry Levinson movie with Priyanka Chopra as Sheela… is apparently still happening.” (Viha Connection. 2019:3)

– Sommer in Orange. Released 18.08.2011. 1 hour 42 min. Color. In German. Director: Marcus H. Rosemüller. Written by Ursula Gruber. Odeon Pictures/Roxy Films/Bayerischer Rundfunk. This German Culture-Clash-Comedy is about a group of Berlin sannyasins who moved to Bavaria in the early 1980s. The author Ursula Gruber and her brother, the producer Georg Gruber, grew up in a sannyas commune in Hohenschäftlarn south of Munic. It was the first screenplay for the documentary filmmaker and studied ethnologist. In 2008 she handed it to Marcus H. Rosenmüller, who immediately expressed his interest in the material. In the early 2000s Rosenmüller had shot a film in Pune and also visited the ashram at the time. In the first months after being released in German cinemas, it climbed to place two of the Arthouse Cinerma charts, and with three months it reached over 500.000 viewers.

He grew up in Purvodaya (remember the film ‘Sommer in Orange’?” (www.oshonews.com 14.03.2019)

Akshaye Khanna speaks on his father Vinod Khanna
“Unwittingly, Akshaye has had a close association with the cult, thanks to Vinod Khanna becoming an avowed follower to the guru. Speaking about the time Vinod Khanna decided to leave his family and the worldly life to become a sannyasi (monk), Akshaye said he was only four or five when his father left them, adding that it was only when he turned 15 or 16 that he realized what had happened… “To not only leave his family, but to take ‘sannyas’ (renunciation). Sannyas means giving up your life in totality – family is [only] a part of it. It’s a life-changing decision, which he felt that he needed to take at the time. As a five-year-old, it was impossible [for me] to understand it. I can understand it now.”..
What is perhaps not known or spoken about is why Vinod Khanna decided to come back. Explaining that, Akshaye mentioned it wasn’t a sudden change of heart that made his father return. He said, “A very basic fault-line/earthquake has to occur within oneself to make that decision. But also stick by it. One can make the decision and say this doesn’t suit me – let’s go back. But that didn’t happen. and circumstances in America with Osho and the colony, friction with the US government – that was the reason he came back.”
On the question that many believed his father got disillusioned with Osho, Akshaye said that was never the case. “From whatever memories I have about my father talking about that time in his life, I don’t think that was a reason at all. It was just the fact that the commune was disbanded, destroyed, and everybody had to find their own way. That’s when he came back. Otherwise I don’t think he would’ve ever come back.”” (Hindustan Times, 03.01.2020)

– You must be aware that we have almost all video and audio discourses of Osho on Telegram, freely accessible. (Dilip Sodha. E-mail. 29.01.2021)

New Osho Television Channel launched 2020 on YouTube
“It was not until 1984 in the United States, when he emerged from a 3-and-a-half-year period of silence, that Osho’s talks and interviews with the press could be easily videotaped in full.
By the time YouTube came into being in 2006, only a small number of people had been able to see these video recordings, usually either at the OSHO International Meditation Resort in Pune, India, or in a handful of Osho meditation centers around the world. A dwindling number of people remain who have also experienced Osho’s physical presence. So, while the Osho books and audio recordings have long been widely available, the ability to see him “in person” has been limited to a relative small number of people…
When YouTube was first launched, only short duration videos could be shared on the platform. At that time, OSHO International created a YouTube channel and offered a selection of excerpts from Osho’s recorded talks. The challenge was to introduce the main topics he spoke about, while also preserving the integrity of his message. And, while a sense of humor and playfulness is certainly a key part of that message, his work is not in the same category as “entertainment,” which he has been quite clear about – nor are his talks meant to be “lectures” for students to take notes on and remember…
Now on the OSHO International YouTube Channel you can subscribe to a new section EXCLUSIVE FOR MEMBERS (with a monthly fee comparable to the price of a Starbucks coffee) giving you access to full series of talks. Starting with a series of talks titled “Beyond Psychology,” spoken in Uruguay shortly after Osho was expelled from the United States. Regular updates include new series of talks and selected videos on subjects that matter to us: love, relating, body-mind, sex, power and more. Osho’s talks remain absolutely contemporary, strikingly relevant to the times of crisis we are living through today.

OSHO International continues the high-quality digitization process of the entire video archive and as part of this offer you will be able to see the first series in High Definition (HD) an upconverted video quality.

Interview with Sw Prem Sadhak, lead developer of the free app, Ask Bhagwan, to be used for the OneWorld Meditation program, and supported by Satya Vedant, Chaitanya Keerti and many others.
“The app categorizes massive Osho-related information in both Hindi and English… I started working on this project thinking in terms of only Question & Answers. Hence the name…More and more ideas keep coming up and we are still expanding the app. My plan is to make this app a globally-connected community of Osho lovers…
You can download the app from Google Play, App Store, Amazon Appstore, or as a WebApp. Ask Bhagwan is alos available as a WebApp. This means you can install it on your computer as well.

* Osho Search (Hindi & English). Web app. The long-awaited search engine for all available Hindi and English books by Osho is now available as a cloud software.

Antar Rahi, the creator of the Search Osho web app, writes about his project:
“The seed of the search Osho web app was sown in 2004 (around 18 yrs back). I was at the Osho Ashram in Gujarat when an ex-Chief Minister of the State, who was an Osho lover, came to visit the place… This incident had a great impact on me and so I decided to make a search engine where anyone can find from Osho’s invaluable insights what they are looking for. From then on I started collecting all available Osho literature in any available form. The process has been long, but it has been worth it…
Once the database was ready, in 2021, with the support of Neelam, I started building a prototype of the app and began with the actual web work in 2014. It took 5-6 years to complete it. Currently, it is available as Beta version (a version to be tested by a few users). It is in full working mode and available to all. Being a Beta version, it will surely need improvement, while the development process continues.
The search engine holds many amazing future updates which will be published as version 1 and version 2 in coming years. To complete these phases requires support from Osho lovers, sannyasins, and their friends, in the form of contributions via subscriptions for the app.
In version 1, all available audios will be linked to the chapters. In the current freely-available audio and text scenarios, there is much confusion because of frequent title changes, and shifting of chapters from one book to another. Even if the audios are available, it is often difficult to find the audio file for a particular book. So, this issue will be resolved and the user will get the right audio for all chapters and book titles.
In version 2, audio files will be linked to the search. This means that the user will be able to extract the exact audio of the searched paragraph(s). Isn’t that amazing? But again, this needs time, at least 1-2 years – and enough funding. This function will be very useful for all seekers, and particularly for facilitators because they often need Osho quotes and discourses to play in their workshops.
The main features of the app are:
Reading
Search (basic and advanced search for exact terms and answers)
Research (each reading material’s specifics are available)
Audio & Video (subject to availability)
The app has and will have all available texts from Osho’s books, and is being updated regularly, Earlier and currently, some friends have been providing a similar kind of solution, but there have been some issues which have now been solved with this web application.

Murti on Facebook groups
“A couple of years ago, with some trepidation, I began to read the unravelling discussions occurring within two Facebook groups – Poona One and Rajneeshpuram Residents. Neither group is open to the general public – you need to have spent time as a Rajneesh sannyasin, either in the first incarnation of the Rajneesh ashram in Poona (1974-1981) or in the Oregon commune, known colloquially as ‘The Ranch’ (1981-1985). The former group has over two thousand members and the latter around nine hundred. Potentially, this suggests an extensive readership and a variety of contributions.
Scrolling down the entries and attempting to follow the various conventional ‘threads’, my trepidation was augmented by a sense of appreciation, both for the raw honesty of highly personal disclosures and for the determined attempts to grapple with some of the issues that arise when one casts one’s lot with a guru or spiritual teacher. At last, I found myself mumbling. At last, a semi-organic and collective effort to shine a light on the events of the past and invoke a discourse that carries the possibility of understanding, clarity, and in some cases – the healing of lingering wounds.
Nonetheless, most discussions within the various arms of social media are quickly polarized. In rare moments a discourse can rise to great hights but for the most part combatants stagger around the cyber-ring like a couple of punch-drunk fighters, jabbing ineffectively at one another or ducking blows, imaginary and real…
Gradually I weaned myself off the sannyas network, as did my partner – now my wife. This was not a deliberate rejection of our immediate past but rather an attempt to find our feet and function within the wider community…
I have read and watched numerous offerings – books, articles and documentaries – from those with past and present sannyasin affiliations, to commentators who have looked in from outside the tent and arrived at their own conclusions. Unsurprisingly, these portrayals range from rose-coloured hagiographies to savage critiques.” (Menzies 2019, pp. 255-57)

Rudra comments on Facebook and Sannyas.wiki
“Facebook is so popular because humans need friends to survive. It’s built into our genes. Even if they are just virtual friends. Of the “friends” I have in the surfacebook, most are people I haven’t seen face to face in a long time. And facebook was the first to cater to the computer illiterates, that made it an instant hit with the “other 99%”.
If you look through the Sannyasins pages in the wiki, I DO include facebook links that I find because for many reasons, people share on facebook, what they would never share in the wiki – the wiki is open to the public and facebook offers you the illusion of privacy
– many sannyasins have been badly intimidated by the gutter press and have become very cautious about being seen as a sannyasin
– facebook is a chatty, very “in the heat of the moment” platform and far less “final” than the wiki.
But note that I would never quote anything anyone says on facebook in the wiki. That would be a breach of (this perceived) privacy.
I don’t include any other social media because I would have to partake in it to gain access and it’s bad enough to waste time in one of them.” (Rudra. E-mail. 12.02.2020)

Bhagawati on Facebook and Sannyas.wiki
“Secondly, about social media. I signed up to Facebook more or less at its beginnings and by the time I had reached 600 ‘friends’, I realized that this was ridiculous and I wasn’t even interested in what people had to say, much of it gossip and assumptions about what Osho did in RP and what he didn’t do, who said what when and many other remarks. So, I deleted myself from FB and have not regretted it.
I have heard about some sannyasins groups that have been established and sometimes a friend send me some text but I have seen nothing that makes my day brighter than it is.
As so much on FB is hearsay I think it would be difficult to have something solid enough from that source to publish it in Sannyas.WIKI.” (Bhagawati. E-mail. 12.02.2020)

Sugit on Facebook
“Personally I agree with all that Bhagawati and Rudra say about Facebook. I could add I also feel that it’s a huge privacy-drain, and an exponent of American surveillance capitalism. And that anything can be removed by cease and desist orders without fair recourse. And, practically, that is does not allow us, the user, to determine who gets to see what, that is up to the BF algorithms.
But. At this point in history these ideas are the ideas of a tiny minority… Many people, including people that are seriously interested in transcendental matters, are active users of FB, and not of our websites. This can also be seen from the fact that there are very active “Poona” groups on FB.
So I think it would be a good thing to have a kind of “bridge”. My idea has been to try to find a group of correspondents. They could work in two directions:
1) posting what we do on OSB/ON/Wiki on FB. And
2) keeping us informed what good information comes up on FB, and then catching hold of the video/audio/author to ascertain sources and reliability.
So far I found some sympathetic FB users, but not with the right “attitude” :-) I suggest putting some energy in that direction.” (Sugit. E-mail. 13.02.2020)

* The Gayatri Sangha Online Community App.
By Deva Premal and Miten and team. Web and mobile app.

Punya writes
“Messages and photos can be posted, forwarded, liked and replied to as we know from platforms. Intuitively we move through their various ‘rooms’. Each one of the musicians, including Manose, have their own place to connect with friends of the sangha. Also Osho has a room with links to his meditations. Deva and Premal’s podcasts with Love Osho and a discourse by Osho on sannyas…
Of course one of the main aims of this online community is that members of the sangha can share their stories, and then contact each other in private messages. The communities can ‘speak’ to each other in different language groups: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Scandinavian languages and Dutch.
Apart from the aesthetic presentation (which one would have anyway expected from Deva and Miten), with its white or black background, rust-red header and footer, and its easy functionality, I was impressed by the amount of resources. In the section The Library we find the lyrics, sometimes even the cords, of the songs and mantras in their albums. There is also the beautifully illustrated Gayatri Festival Songbook, a second Songbook (of which I must have a copy on my bookshelf). Also, in the Library, under Music, we find a selection of mantras which will run in the background also when you move to another part of the app or start connection with your friends.
And most importantly, in the Meditation Room we find the links to the ‘Spirit of Mantra’ sessions that are running now daily. Also 3 of the weekly meditations are now in the Gayatri Sangha Online Community App (under Upcoming Livestreams), but Deva and Miten are still offering a monthly one on Facebook, Instagram (@devapremalmiten) and YouTube…

* Save Osho’s Legacy – Updated. Sunday 21 February 2021.
A show presented and moderated by Raghav Malhotra at New India News Live – discussing Osho’s intellectual property rights, the role of OIF, and the importance of Osho’s Samadhi in Pune. In the panel: Sw Prem Anadi, writer Kamlesh Pandey and Sw Satya Vedant.
Sw Satya Vedant spoke in English: “Osho is not just an author, we have never seen him just as a guru figure… he s much more than that for us, for the people of India. He is actually a force, he is like an energy, like a light; he is not a person, not a figurehead… We are eternal grateful to Osho… such a phenomenon… for showing us a way how to be and how to not be…
A group of people known as OIF based in Pune have emerged in repressing, revising, re-expressing… they are assuming they already have the authority to tinker with Osho’s work.”
He called upon Osho’s people to mobilize, to become one force – not as crusaders but to make use of avilable facts and data to show what has happened and why. “Collectively we can make this happen… a joint effort is needed..”
As a pre-runner, a Zoom discussion entitled ‘Conspiracy behind Osho’s death, Samadhi in Pune and his intellectual property rights’, was streamed live on February 14, 2021.
Raghav Malhotra from MIN LIVE also moderated this discussion with participants Chaitanya Keerti, Anand Sheela, Anand Arun, Abhay Vaidya and Yogesh Thakker (Prem Geet). Hindi was the main language used; Sheela spoke in English while Keerti and Abhay Vaidya interspersed their talk in English with some Hindi.

– You must be aware that we have almost all video and audio discourses of Osho on Telegram, freely accessible. (Dilip Sodha. E-mail. 29.01.2021)

New Osho Television Channel launched 2020 on YouTube
“It was not until 1984 in the United States, when he emerged from a 3-and-a-half-year period of silence, that Osho’s talks and interviews with the press could be easily videotaped in full.
By the time YouTube came into being in 2006, only a small number of people had been able to see these video recordings, usually either at the OSHO International Meditation Resort in Pune, India, or in a handful of Osho meditation centers around the world. A dwindling number of people remain who have also experienced Osho’s physical presence. So, while the Osho books and audio recordings have long been widely available, the ability to see him “in person” has been limited to a relative small number of people…
When YouTube was first launched, only short duration videos could be shared on the platform. At that time, OSHO International created a YouTube channel and offered a selection of excerpts from Osho’s recorded talks. The challenge was to introduce the main topics he spoke about, while also preserving the integrity of his message. And, while a sense of humor and playfulness is certainly a key part of that message, his work is not in the same category as “entertainment,” which he has been quite clear about – nor are his talks meant to be “lectures” for students to take notes on and remember…
Now on the OSHO International YouTube Channel you can subscribe to a new section EXCLUSIVE FOR MEMBERS (with a monthly fee comparable to the price of a Starbucks coffee) giving you access to full series of talks. Starting with a series of talks titled “Beyond Psychology,” spoken in Uruguay shortly after Osho was expelled from the United States. Regular updates include new series of talks and selected videos on subjects that matter to us: love, relating, body-mind, sex, power and more. Osho’s talks remain absolutely contemporary, strikingly relevant to the times of crisis we are living through today.

OSHO International continues the high-quality digitization process of the entire video archive and as part of this offer you will be able to see the first series in High Definition (HD) an upconverted video quality.

Upgrade your channel subscription to a paid membership to enjoy these transformative talks.

*Ask Bhagwan app.
Interview with Sw Prem Sadhak, lead developer of the free app, Ask Bhagwan, to be used for the OneWorld Meditation program, and supported by Satya Vedant, Chaitanya Keerti and many others.
“The app categorizes massive Osho-related information in both Hindi and English… I started working on this project thinking in terms of only Question & Answers. Hence the name…More and more ideas keep coming up and we are still expanding the app. My plan is to make this app a globally-connected community of Osho lovers…
You can download the app from Google Play, App Store, Amazon Appstore, or as a WebApp. Ask Bhagwan is alos available as a WebApp. This means you can install it on your computer as well. You can use the same credentials for desktop as well. It’s like Facebook, even on your computer you’ll see the same format, just the videos will be on the big screen…
The free Ask Bhagwan app currently features huge amounts of content in many categories. App users will find Osho’s Hindi and English discourses in audio and video, thoughtfully categorized with questions and answers, grouped under titles like Love, Family, Friendship; all meditations with explanations, meditation music, jokes, interviews, blogs, information and events worldwide, and much more.” (www.oshonews.com)

* Osho Search (Hindi & English). Web app. The long-awaited search engine for all available Hindi and English books by Osho is now available as a cloud software.

Antar Rahi, the creator of the Search Osho web app, writes about his project:
“The seed of the search Osho web app was sown in 2004 (around 18 yrs back). I was at the Osho Ashram in Gujarat when an ex-Chief Minister of the State, who was an Osho lover, came to visit the place… This incident had a great impact on me and so I decided to make a search engine where anyone can find from Osho’s invaluable insights what they are looking for. From then on I started collecting all available Osho literature in any available form. The process has been long, but it has been worth it…
Once the database was ready, in 2021, with the support of Neelam, I started building a prototype of the app and began with the actual web work in 2014. It took 5-6 years to complete it. Currently, it is available as Beta version (a version to be tested by a few users). It is in full working mode and available to all. Being a Beta version, it will surely need improvement, while the development process continues.
The search engine holds many amazing future updates which will be published as version 1 and version 2 in coming years. To complete these phases requires support from Osho lovers, sannyasins, and their friends, in the form of contributions via subscriptions for the app.
In version 1, all available audios will be linked to the chapters. In the current freely-available audio and text scenarios, there is much confusion because of frequent title changes, and shifting of chapters from one book to another. Even if the audios are available, it is often difficult to find the audio file for a particular book. So, this issue will be resolved and the user will get the right audio for all chapters and book titles.
In version 2, audio files will be linked to the search. This means that the user will be able to extract the exact audio of the searched paragraph(s). Isn’t that amazing? But again, this needs time, at least 1-2 years – and enough funding. This function will be very useful for all seekers, and particularly for facilitators because they often need Osho quotes and discourses to play in their workshops.
The main features of the app are:
Reading
Search (basic and advanced search for exact terms and answers)
Research (each reading material’s specifics are available)
Audio & Video (subject to availability)
The app has and will have all available texts from Osho’s books, and is being updated regularly, Earlier and currently, some friends have been providing a similar kind of solution, but there have been some issues which have now been solved with this web application. Also, in future, there will be many incomparable features available.
Subscription: For more details about this web application and subscription please visit: www.oshoforall.com. You can request a 3-day free trial before subscribing.
Disclaimer: Please note that we do not accept any money in the foem of a charge, fee, price, payment, contribution, or subscription for any of Osho’s works, including books, text, audios, and video. The contribution/subscription mentioned in the above link is only for the search engine’s basic and advanced search feature, as well as other services supplied through the web application. This ensures that you will not be charges in any form for any of Osho’s material.” (www.oshonews.com/2022/05/24)

*Shree Rajneesh: A Man of Many Climates, Seasons and Rainbows. Through the Eye of the Camera. Design: Sw Deva Anugito. Photography: Sw Divyananda et.al. Production: Sw Prem Visarjan et al.

Emilio Costantino: An Introduction. Photographs of an Uncontainable Vision
“For the first time in my professional career I was trying to capture an enlightened master on film. I found myself with my finger hanging in the air unable to shoot the picture. My eyes glued to the lens, frozen in awe… Shree Rajneesh, sitting on a pillow surrounded by musical instruments: gongs, bowls, cymbals and bells.
How can this possibility be expressed in words?
Words are just conventions, full of limitations. Silence is a reality. How can I speak of him, who was not inside this silence but was this silence?
As a photographer of nature, the only possible way for me to express this silence is with nature itself.
Shree Rajneesh and nature…
Shree Rajneesh is nature.
Hundreds of times I found myself as if paralyzed, facing the uncontainable vision of a magnificient sunset, the light changing from moment to moment. His movements, his words, his expressions come from a space of neither decision nor indecision, like the water in a mountain stream, or the leaves dancing in the wind. In front of me there were neither masks nor poses, but a simple human being who was being himself.
Unable to take pictures, waiting, trying to find the “right” moment, conscious that every single moment was “right” in itself and that there was no way to chose which moment was the ‘perfect’ one. Many times my mind said, “You’ve got it” and yet my heart knew I’d missed the flux, the deeper beauty connected with the change… the “Ah” which comes up when one is face to face with the unexpected.
Looking into his eyes I saw an emptiness that nearly swallowed me. It was, how to say… as if he would disappear from in front of the lens. His body was there, as if held with difficulty by the force of gravity, but he wasn’t there. This disappearing of the ego, which he calls the root of enlightenment, was present to my photographic eye as an incredible contemporality of presence/absence.
In the meantime, the camera has clicked many times. But who has been taking pictures?”  Emilio Costantino is an Author and Photographer of Costiera Amalfitana. La Costa Del Sole E Della Luna.

“Just the other day we met to talk about putting together a new BOOK CATALOGUE within the next few months. Amiyo’s idea to create a really beautiful and detailed reference catalogue was a popular one, and we plan to collect all the information we have about each of the books, so that we can write really detailed and informative descriptions. Each of Osho’s books really does have its unique flavor and message, and we’re very excited about being able to finally make this information available to everybody. A formidable task, with so many books.” (Osho Words (Digital echo newsletter). 1990:7. 07.09.1990)

“Amiyo is going through all of Osho’s books to compile a really comprehensive new book catalogue (which will have a full-page description of each book – kind of like a book in itself). In the process she is pulling all the different meditation techniques Osho has given, which will form the basis of a new meditation book.” (Osho Words (Digital echo newsletter). 04.10.1990)

– The Osho News Booklists on www.oshonews.com/books
“Osho News has published four book lists of the many books that have been written about Osho, about sannyas, about Rajneeshpuram. A few of them are negative, but they collected them all in order to present an unbiased picture…
The four lists are:
– Books about Osho by Sannyasins: includes books by sannyasins about their lives as disciples, and not exclusively “about Osho.”
– Books about Osho by Researchers: books written by observers and critics.
– Books by Sannyasin Authors: Fiction. In this list you will find novels, poetry, travel journeys, and more.
– Books by Sannyasin Authors: Non-Fiction. On this page you will find essays by sannyasins on various subjets like healing, therapies, Tantra, sex, and more.” (Viha Connection. 2013:2)

 
13. Forthcoming books etc.

Some titles may still be unfinished manuscripts. Others are shipwrecked books of manuscripts which never passed the editors’ desks in the publishing world. Indication of year is mentioned whenever possible. Some manuscripts may be retrieved by contacting the authors mentioned. Had it ever existed, it would really have been a feast to browse the shelves of the ‘Library of Refused Books’ with its ample representation of manuscripts by sannyasin writers which had been turned down by editors of the global publishing houses. Books are listed in numerus currens, that is at random order.
Some information was collected at Osho Research Library, Poona, in September 1989.

See also: Orphaned books at www.sannyas.wiki The page shows a comprehensive listing of various orphaned book titles, i.e.
* Unpublished ‘working titles’ that were later published under a different name,
* Foreign translations with no known English or Hindi original,
* Very dubious titles that we have seen somewhere but have removed because of lack of references anywhere.

Books by Osho

Series of three books forthcoming
“To facilitate this work, we are in the process of setting up a research department in Poona where there will be access and references to all Bhagwan’s words on particular subjects. The first result of this will be a series of three books, each about two-hundred and fifty pages: One with fifteen or so pages on each of Bhagwan’s most controversial topics, a second with His words on particular people, like van Gogh, Nijinsky, William Reich, Nietzsche and so on; and third, on the “isms” – communism, fascism, catholicism, hinduism, and so forth. Obviously these three books will be available for translation and the research material and references made available if particular subjects are needed for particular cultures.
In addition, a new book detailing a good many of Bhagwan’s meditations, other than those in The Orange Book, should be compiled in a month or so. That could be translated even before it is published in English. (The Rajneesh Times (India), 1987:6. 25.02.1987)

Heading: News in America
“Another idea that has come up recently is to publish a book on THE COMPLETE WORKS OF BHAGWAN SHREE RAJNEESH. It came from the idea of a catalogue of His books. Each book published would have one page telling what the book is about. We could include all the books and update it yearly, indicating those that are out-of-print, not yet published, or whatever. By listing all the different languages – what a great tool – not only for lovers wanting to know what This Man has written, but for all the distribution centers as well.” (The Rajneesh Times (India), 1987:16)

– The Complete Works of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Each book on one page. (RTI 25.07.1987)

Forthcoming at the Frankfurt Fair
“Another compilation being offered at the Frankfurt Fair is an unpublished 1,500 page book entitled The World of Mysticism: Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the Greatest Mysticism of all Time, Speaks on 300 Mystics. This volume covers Bhagwan’s talks on hundreds of mystics, from all the mystical traditions that have ever existed, from the mystics of Ancient Egypt, Greece, India and Tibet to the mystics of the paths of Christianity, Sufim, Hassidism, Tao, Tantra, Zen, Yoga and Buddhism. It also includes chapters on woman mystics and contemporary mystics, such as Raman Maharshi, Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff, as well as on frauds such as Sri Aurobindo Ghose and Shri Satya Sai Baba. Contemporary poets, like Gibran, Nietzsche, Walt Whitman and Gertrude Stein, are also included.” (Rajneesh Times International (India), 1988:18)

Compilation by Amiyo
“Amiyo is going through all of Osho’s books to compile a really comprehensive new book catalogue (which will have a full-page description of each book – kind of like a book in itself). In the process she is pulling all the different meditation techniques Osho has given, which will form the basis of a new meditation book.” (Osho Words (Digital echo newsletter). 04.10.1990)

Anando in interview
“Q: Are there any unpublished Osho books still to come?
A: Yes, lots more. There is a wealth of material from darshans which has never been published which will be coming out over the next few years under these titles given by Osho: At the Feet of the Master; Dialogues with the Master; Sannyas: A New Definition of Life; Fragments of an Unknown Teaching; and Osho the Modern Buddha Talks to His Disciples.
And there are Osho’s Hindi discourses, which are being translated one by one. There are hundreds of them, many discussing esoteric secrets and ancient texts He never speaks about in English.” (Ma Deva Anando. In: Osho Loves Books. Remarkable Books from Remarkable Publishers. The Rebel Publishing House, 1992. Leaflet. 10 pages)

Keerti writes on his work in Press Office
“I worked in the Ashram’s Press Office for more than a decade, and the Press Office always had people from various countries. It was really fun working with them, as I was always there, while others came and went, floating!
And there were also difficulties and challenges of working with people from other cultures, but they are not greater than the challenges of working with people of the same culture. In the Press Office, we had people from English-speaking countries – America, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand etc. – because we needed proper English for the press releases. I am bad with grammar and word choice in English, as I did not have an education in English. Another Indian, Swami Satya Vedant, was proficient in English and a significant contributor to the Press Office. But we preferred to have Australian Krishna Prem, British Subhuti, and American Veeten write the press releases in British and American English, although we were mostly working in India or from India. And our press releases were often praised and published verbatim, without any editing, in the Indian media. Germans were not good with the English language, but Abhijat and Manasvi, both Germans, always saw to it that the press releases were presented in a neat way, so that they looked good! And the Press Office needed passion, dedication, and devotion, and I think I had those in abundance. (Am I boasting, like Indians do?) I made sure Osho made a splash in the media – this way or that way. Everybody contributed in his or her own particular way, and the end result was really amazing!” (Swami Chaitanya Keerti. At: www.sannyasnews.com 23.11.2005)

Heading: Press Releases
“… One of Osho’s last requests was to “make sure the press releases keep going out.” (Press Release. Press Office – Osho Publications. August 1991)

 
15. Manuscripts

Osho’s manuscripts are available in full text at www.sannyas.wiki Category: Manuscripts.
Categories: Early manuscripts – Discourse notes – Manuscript letters – Notes – Miscellaneous. More than 1.100 scans of handwritten manuscripts mostly in Hindi for lectures, notes and letters.

Also at www.sannyas.wiki : Notebook Timeline Extraction.
Arvind Kumar Jain’s notebooks from Jabalpur, Vols I-V. 1961-1963. A collection of notebooks with a wealth of information about Osho’s activities, like travels, speeches, meetings with people and other events at that time.

Other sources documenting Osho’s activities in Jabalpur, are Programs Timeline Extraction and Reports Timeline Extraction with further accounts of his travels, speeches, and lectures.

Also at www.sannyas.wiki : Books gifted to Gadarwara Public Library.
Ageh Bharti in his book ‘Beloved Osho’ (2012) presents a list of 91 books donated by Osho to the library of his childhood, mostly with his signature and date. Some are presented with their photos on the page Books signed by Osho.

Considering Osho’s manuscripts we have heard that Osho never wrote, as the whole bulk of published discourses delivered by him throughout the years in Bombay, Poona and Oregon are in fact transcriptions of his talks from the recorded audio tapes. So these discourse books were in fact never written, but spoken verbatim without any use of manuscript, and only sutras and jokes were written on the notepad he held in his lap.

The ‘He-never-wrote’ myth has throughout the years been put forward wholeheartedly by sannyasins and researchers alike, whose perspective has been limited to the Poona One phase and maybe to Bombay, but definitely not to Osho’s years in Jabalpur where he stayed for twenty years and where the foundation stones – also in handwriting – to his whole vision were carefully laid out.

We will thoroughly have to punctuate this myth as plenty of letters, manuscripts and drafts for lectures and articles are preserved from his hand. Even from Poona One some handwritten notes have been presented to disciples, e.g. to Somendra for his editing of Osho’s books.

But Jabalpur was the place where he was writing articles for magazines as well as manuscripts for his first prepared lectures. Letters he had already been writing in numbers for years, later to be published in many Hindi books and in ‘A Cup of Tea’ (1980). In 1960 Rajneesh had been experimenting with writing his notes and drafts for his lectures on his new Olympia typewriter with its Hindi keyboard, until this procedure was carried out by his secretary Arvind Kumar Jain for the rest of the 1960s with his typing from Osho’s handwritten notes, for lectures as well as for the publishing of his booklets.. One precious sheet of manuscript is preserved where Osho has both typewritten as well as added his editing by hand.

From around 1968 onwards audio recordings were introduced and he had now evolved to another intellectual level where he mastered delivering extemporaneous talks and no longer was in need of prepared manuscripts for his lecturing – and subsequent publishing – as was the case in his first years as a speaker in Jabalpur. Accordingly no manuscripts for articles or public lectures are to be found after 1968 as articles were from now on prepared by Ageh Bharti and lectures recorded on audiotapes. Keeping quite a few of his followers busy from then on transcribing his talks and preparing them for editing and publishing.

A few words on the provenance of the manuscripts now presented at www.sannyas.wiki:

“During field work in India I visited many old sannyasins who could tell many tales from the early days of Osho’s life. They were interviewed and their collection of booklets and paraphernalia documented and photographed. Among those visited was also Osho’s secretary in Jabalpur, Arvind Kumar Jain, member of the family as Osho was his first cousin and his maternal uncle’s eldest son.

During the interview he showed me the manuscripts donated to him by Acharya Rajneesh when he left for Bombay in 1970. Then followed a snail mail correspondence for five years until a common understanding of the terms of the exchange was agreed upon in 2005 and I then revisited Arvind Kumar Jain in Jabalpur.

The total exchange also consisted of numerous other items from their years in Jabalpur, early pamphlets and booklets, photos, diaries, his typewriter with Hindi keyboard and even Osho’s name plate from the gate to his residence in Jabalpur. All manuscripts and other items are now returned to India to become part of a collection building taking place in Osho’s motherland.

And, as we might expect in India, things are not always what they look like. After discussing the situation with some friends, Arvind Kumar suddenly had second thoughts about the whole thing, and he was no longer capable of fulfilling our agreement. Right there I felt blessed with experiences from years in India and how to adapt to almost anything.

So after a bit of patience, wrestling and some more patience we ended up signing an officially stamped document at the office of the local notary public finalizing the whole matter. I thought. But more was to come, and this document turned out later to be most useful. Anyway, those who might want to know Osho’s feeling about his secretary just have to listen to his discourses or have a look into the Osho Source Book, Part Two Jabalpur, where more context can be found.

The origin of the paper is from Orient Paper Mill, Amlai, India. It is ‘Foolscap’ size paper, in the dimensions 13 by 8 inches (330 x 203 mm), a traditional, now non-standard British paper size also called English folio. This quality of paper is for manuscripts only and not for typing. For typing ordinary paper was used.

Osho was writing with his Parker pen in various colours of ink (also Parker): Royal blue, blue, black and green and most rarely in red ink (No.14). His preference was Royal blue and black ink. He wrote with his left hand and with his special parallel finger holding of the pen. What seems to be the case is that he was ambidextrous and capable of writing effortless with any hand he might choose, with a predominance later on of writing with his right hand. The Parker pen had, among other utensils, like his Olympia typewriter, been presented to him by his friend Parikh in 1960.

The manuscripts preserved in Acharya Rajneesh’s handwriting are covering the whole field of his lecturing in the 1960s. They are numbering a total of 477 sheets, of which 42 sheets are written also on the reverse page. According to Yog Chinmaya’s estimate only 30-40% of the preserved manuscripts were already published, exemplified by ‘Earthen Lamps’ (2012), first published in Hindi entitled ‘Mitte ke Diye’ (1966).

English words are occasionally added in brackets on his manuscripts. And the markings are having R for recto, front page, and V for verso, reverse page.” (Pierre Evald aka Sw Anand Neeten. July 2017)

Regarding the authenticity of Osho’s manuscripts, letters and booklets, Shailendra, Osho’s brother, writes in 2018 to the editors of www.sannyas.wiki:

“I can guarantee the authenticity of these documents. When I took admission in medical college, Jabalpur in the early 70s there was a waiting period to get a room in the hostel, therefore I had to stay at Arvind’s home for about 6 weeks.
He used to publish the YUKRAND magazine. At that time the printing press was within part of his house extension. I used to spend 1-2 hours daily helping in the press office. It was a great opportunity to enjoy proof reading, matching the print matter with the original. Thus I have gone through all these files of manuscripts.
I knew that in the names of Kranti, Arvind, Aklank, Ramaa and others everything was written by Osho himself. The preface is written by Osho, credit given to someone else. Once Niklank told me this incident…
During his school days Osho made a booklet named PRAYAS. Niklank had the habit of preserving everything written by Osho, even the papers thrown in dustbin. Niklank decided to preserve only those pages from this booklet which contained articles by Osho, and discard the remaining articles written by other students. Later on he came to know from Osho’s friends that all articles were written by Osho only.
It is published in the book NAYE SANKET: A compilation of notes taken by many friends during discourses and discussions.” Even that is not true. All 223 notes are written by Osho.
There was a clear instruction for editors, not to change a single word. Keep it exactly 100% as it is. As far as I know, nothing has been changed till now.
These books – ‘Kuchh Jyotirmaya Ksan’, ‘Naye Sanket’, ‘Kranti Beej’, ‘Mitti Ke Diye’, ‘Path Ke Pradeep’, ‘Kranti Sutra’, ‘Sadhana Path’, few chapters of ‘Main Kahata Aankhan Dekhi’, ‘Sinhnaad’, ‘Path Ki Khoi,’ ‘Naye Manushya Ke Janm Ki Disha’, ‘Dharm Aur Vigyan’, & many books having compilations of letters, are hand written.
Osho’s original letters published in ‘Path Ke Pradeep’ and ‘Kranti Beej’ are still available with the family members of Ma Sohan and Sw Manik Bafana (both of them passed away) at Poona. You may verify with them. Sw Niklank, Sw Ageh Bharti and Ma Shashi (Aklank’s wife) are still alive and can verify the same (Note – Osho lived for about 7 years in the home of Shashi’s father).
Ma Sohan and Sw Manik must have shown photocopies of these letters to thousands of sannyasins who visited them. Ma Dham Jyoti, Sw Chaitanya Keerti, Sw Satya Vedant, Ma Neelam, Sw Tathagat and almost all Indian sannyasins living in Poona at that time plus many foreigners too, must have seen these letters. Sohan had a habit of inviting people for lunch or dinner almost 2-3 times a week.” (Shailendra, March 2018)

16. Letters

Osho’s scanned manuscript and letters are shown in full text at www.sannyas.wiki.
Here you’ll find about 500 personal letters and notes handwritten by Osho in Hindi with their English translation between 1956 and 1971. Also you’ll find the publishing history of the various editions with Osho’s letters.

The listing of Osho’s scanned letters is showing:
Date – Recipient – Manuscript – Published in… and Notes.

A lot of Osho’s letters were written to Ma Anandmayee and Ma Yoga Sohan (Bafna)

The letters written to Sohan are together with letters to other friends published in ‘Prem Ke Phool’ (1970), translated into English as ‘Flowers of Love’ (1974) and are also contained in ‘A Cup of Tea’ (1980), translated from earlier Hindi.

‘Path Ke Pradeep’ (1965) are with 100 passages written by Osho to Ma Yoga Sohan. Translated into English as ‘Life is a Soap Bubble’ (2012). These letters from 1964-65 were not written and posted in the usual way. Osho used to keep writing her, and from time to time he would post a bunch of letters to her telling her to preserve them for future publication.

‘Krantibeej’ (1965) comprises extracts from 120 letters with anecdotes all written to Madan Kunwar Parakh, later known as Ma Anandmayee. Osho wrote to her during his travels around India out of Jabalpur 1960-64. These insightful anecdotes were later translated into English as ‘Seeds of Revolutionary Thoughts’ (192).

One more compilation of Osho’s letters is ‘The Goose Is Out: Osho Letters’ (2001). It has fourteen letters written by Osho to Ma Yoga Kranti around 1971. They are eproduced in their original handwritten Hindi (with Osho’s Woodlands letterhead) and translated into both English and Gujarati. See also in Appendix 11 to Vol. I a personal and intimate letter to Kranti, translated for the first time in 2009.

Also in Appendix 11 & 12 to Vol I are excerpts from the first pages of the diary and notebooks written by Arvind Kumar Jain in Jabalpur, and a first translation of chapter 9 from his ‘Ankahe Pal’ (2007) on Osho’s studies and book reading.

Regarding the authenticity of Osho’s manuscripts, letters and booklets, Shailendra, Osho’s brother, writes in 2018 to the editors of www.sannyas.wiki.
“Osho’s original letters published in ‘Path Ke Pradeep’ and ‘Kranti Beej’ are still available with the family members of Ma Sohan and Sw Manik Bafana (both of them passed away) at Poona. You may verify with them. Sw Niklank, Sw Ageh Bharti and Ma Shashi (Aklank’s wife) are still alive and can verify the same (Note – Osho lived for about 7 years in the home of Shashi’s father).
Ma Sohan and Sw Manik must have shown photocopies of these letters to thousands of sannyasins who visited them. Ma Dham Jyoti, Sw Chaitanya Keerti, Sw Satya Vedant, Ma Neelam, Sw Tathagat and almost all Indian sannyasins living in Poona at that time plus many foreigners too, must have seen these letters. Sohan had a habit of inviting people for lunch or dinner almost 2-3 times a week.” (Shailendra, March 2018)

In his introduction to the first English edition of ‘Flowers of Love’ (1974) Somendra writes:
“A word about the background of these letters. The first one hundred and fifty were written originally in Hindi to people… The letters were originally published in Hindi under the title ‘Prem Ke Phool’; later an English translation appeared under the same title in English: ‘Flowers of Love’. Through a happy collaboration of Swami Anand Maitreya, and the editor, a completely new, freer, more accurate and much more flowing translation has happened and now appears in this book. The final two hundred letters, all except a few written to early sannyasins, mostly Westerners, first appeared in print in the early seventies in six small booklets. Some re-editing of these letters has taken place and the names of all respondents, save a few, have been omitted, as have named references in the letters themselves, on the grounds that Bhagwan is addressing us all, all of the time. Each letter is to you and me, not to him and her – as you will discover.” ’A Cup of Tea’ (2^nd edition 1983)

In ‘A Cup of Tea’ (1980) the first 150 letters are from the early period 1962 until 1970, while the remaining 200 letters all are from the year 1971, reflecting the change in Rajneesh’s residence to Bombay where now more time could be devoted to correspondence compared with the years when he was traveling and lecturing constantly out of Jabalpur, and only had the opportunity of handling his correspondence when he was at home for a few days at his base in Jabalpur. Only in some early letters from 1963 is he mentioning locations and his travelling schedules, whereas this kind of information is not to be found in his later letters, but this information appears in the notebooks made by his secretary Arvind Kumar Jain. Occasionally also upcoming meditation camps are included in his letters, encouraging the receiver of the letter to join the camp. Furthermore, the later letters are more generous on jokes and anecdotes compared to the earlier ones, reflecting a change in his style and usage during the 1960s.

Talking about mystics and ‘A Cup of Tea’, Osho mentions
“… They are averse to writing. They sing, they speak, they dance, they indicate, but they don’t write. To write something is to make it very limited. A word is a limitation; only then can it be a word. If it is unlimited it will be the sky, containing all the stars. That’s what a saint’s experience is.
Even I myself have not written anything… just a few letters to those who were very intimate to me, thinking, or perhaps believing, that they will understand. I don’t know whether they understood or not. So my book A CUP OF TEA is the only book that can be said to have been written by me. It is a compilation of my letters. Otherwise I have not written anything.” ‘Books I Have Loved’ (1985)

For more context information on Osho’s letters and manuscripts, see also Part Two, Jabalpur, Section 2.9.

 
17. Numerology

Although Osho is quoted for telling that he’s not too good at remembering indications of time like days, dates and years as you’ll see below, it may for some readers be hard to maintain that the many odd numeral patterns shown may all be entirely due to some coincidental interference.

In ‘The Sound of Running Water’ (SORW. Asha 1980) the introduction is presenting a number of charts and diagrams with time sequences, meticulously designed by Sw Anand Yatri (Malcolm Godwin), showing development of meditations, therapy work and discourse series held 1974-78 in Chuang Tzu Auditorium and in Buddha Hall. These page-scans XVIII-XXV are shown at www.sannyas.wiki.

The SORW volume is organized according to four phases or movements 1931-1978:

1. The Biography: 1931 – 1974
Birth. Childhood. The Outsider
The Search. Enlightenment
A Time of Settling
The Revolutionary Years
The Years of Invitation

2. The Gathering: 1974 – 76
Excerpts from memorable lectures and darshans
A new Phase of the Work
Experiments in Meditation
The Growth of Groups

3. The Coming Together: 1976-77
Devices – the Work Situation
Body work – East meets West
Training programs
The Community at Work

4. The Vision: 1978
The Growth of the Buddhafield
The Commune
The Master’s World

“This book falls quite naturally into the four separate and symmetrical sections, or movements, as shown in a diagram:

– The First Movement (11.12.1931 – 10.6.1974) follows the early years from birth to the Master’s enlightenment in 1953. This then continues up to the move from Bombay to Poona. A ‘Prelude’ to the formation of the ashram covers the Master’s illness and the subsequent change of energy which gave us the beautiful discourses [‘The Way of the White Clouds’. 1976] which can be considered the blueprint of what was to come in the following four years.

– The Second Movement (11.6.1974 – 12.3.1976) follows the slow gathering of the disciples around the Master. It shows the intense period of experimental meditations which finish abruptly as the groups begin. This section ends precisely in the middle of the four-year period with the death of a young ashram sannyasin, Vipassana.

– The Third Movement (21.3.1976 – 29.9.1977) heralds the sudden expansion of the ashram and the arrival of many new residents. Throughout this movement there is a slow build-up of work within the community in which meditations is to be found in the work situation itself. This section ends with Bhagwan’s announcement in September of 1977 that the preparatory stage of his work is over.

– The Fourth Movement (October 1977 – 21.3.1978) gives the major themes of the Master’s work as he shares his vision of the community as an experiment to provoke God.” (Asha 1980, p. XVIII)

Early Years Chronology
“The Infinite Journey.
1931 – 1938 THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS
1939 – 1946 THE SECOND SEVEN YEARS
1947 – 1953 THE THIRD SEVEN YEARS.”
(Sannyas. 1980:5, pp. 8 &19)

Journey Into Silence: The Seven Year Cycles Of Bhagwan’s Work
“The Challenge
Ever since his enlightenment on March 21st 1953, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh’s total effort has been directed to the task of helping others to experience the same state.
During this period of 28 years, which spans four seven-year cycles, he has used words and ideas as stepping-stones. Now the final step is into silence.
1931-1960: Preparation…
1960-1967: Invitation…
1967-1974: Initiation…
1974-1981: Education…
1981: Satsang.”
(Press Release. Journey into Silence: The Seven-Year Cycles of Bhagwan’s Work. Press Office. No date, number or subject. [April 1981])

Chronology. Four Phases of Osho’s Work:
Phase I    1931-1974.  Genesis of an Explosion.
Phase II    1974-1981.  Creation of the Buddhafield.
Phase III   1981-1985.  Rancho Rajneesh. Experiment in Consciousness.
Phase IV   1985-1990.  The Beginning of the Mystery School.
(The Rajneesh Times)

Osho moved from Bombay to Poona on March 21, 1974, on the very same date which coincided with the 21st anniversary of his Enlightenment.

Vikrant on phases in the ashram in ‘From Esalen to Pune’
““In August 1975, Osho suggested to Divya to start a ‘Primal Therapy’ group at the ashram as a way to complement his meditative work…This was the first therapeutic growth group with psychotherapeutic characteristics implemented in the ashram in India and perhaps in the East…
The new therapeutic and personal growth processes that were created in 1978 were more focused on meditative and consciousness work that catharsis and unblocking…
In February 1979 the last phase of Osho’s work in India began, which would last until mid-1981. The encounters between Osho and his disciples took place mainly around the socalled ‘Energy Darshans’…
In mid-December 1980, Osho announced that a new phase in his work was beginning. From now on he would say his own truth. This occurred during the series of talks known as ‘Philosophia Ultima’.” (Sentis 2022, pp.118,173,183,186)

From 01.05 to 31.05.1981 a total of 31 daily satsangs with Bhagwan were held in Buddha Hall, the first satsang after five weeks of seclusion.

Satya Vedant mentions that Bhagwan’s very last satsang took place on the morning of June 1, 1981. Then he bid goodbye to his disciples that very afternoon and left Poona, where he had arrived seven years earlier, and traveled to America aboard a Pan Am jet. (Joshi 1982, p. 162)

Between 1981 and 1984 in Oregon Osho observed his second period of public silence lasting 1.315 days, exactly the number of days in his first period of silence following his enlightenment in 1953.

Osho has indicated that although Magga Baba did encourage him to teach, at the same time he warned Osho not to declare his enlightenment in public as this would create antagonism among his listeners. Osho did not publicly acknowledge his enlightenment until he told Kranti about the event in November 1972. This was more than a year after he had changed his name to Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and had ended his arduous and sometimes life threatening travels in India. Osho is also in his talks speaking on discontinuity before and after his period of silence.

“Guru Purnima has for millennia been the day Indian disciples pay their respect to the master and traditionally it is celebrated on the first full moon night in July. The full moon had fallen the previous year – for the First Annual World Celebration of 1982 – on the 6th of July, and this date was kept for all celebrations to come, regardless whether the moon was full or not. Why this was so, I have no idea.” (Punya 2015, p. 255)

“I’m sad that He’s gone, but He always said He wanted to end up in the Himalayas. I understand He started His movement on November 15, 15 years ago; and He will arrive in the Himalayas on the 15th – 15 years later to the day. And I’m happy for that.” (Dhyan John. The Rajneesh Times, 1985:14. 22.11.1985)

So it was fifteen years since Osho initiated his first sannyasins at a meditation camp in Manali that he arrived to the date on November 15 in Kulu Manali 1985 following his home coming to India from his years in Oregon, USA.

The Neo-Sannyas movement had started in Kulu Manali on September 26, 1970, and it ended in Oregon on the very same day after fifteen years, 26.09.1985. Osho talks on dropping mala and red clothing in ‘The Last Testament’. Vol. VI, Chapter 12. In: ‘Jesus Crucified Again. This Time in Ronald Reagan’s America’ (1988).

Osho tells:
“But it is a good coincidence that on the same date, I had started the sannyas movement, and on the same date I have made it absolutely purified of all unnecessary, nonessential things. But it is purely a coincidence, because I am not good about dates, days, years. Forgive me for that. I live in a timeless space. I don’t know what day it is, I don’t know what date it is.” From Bondage to Freedom (1991). Chapter 17, p. 207. 01.10.1985.

On 03.01.1986 Osho leaves Kulu Manali for New Delhi and further on to Kathmandu.
On 03.01.1987 Osho leaves Bombay late in the evening by car, and he arrives 04.01 at 4 am in Poona, 2043 days after he left Lao Tzu House in 1981.

Devakant writes from 1988 on Nirvano and Neelam
“I was amazed to find out that she and Nirvano had not only the same birth date, in the same year, but even the same MOMENT, one of them born in England and one of them in India at the same time. It was a strange coincidence, or rather synchronicity, that these two women who were the closest people to him, had in fact arrived on this planet on different continents at the same moment.” (Devakant 2019, p. 256)

Nana, Osho’s maternal grandfather, made the long journey to Varanasi to find the state astrologer, and when Nani, Osho’s maternal grandmother, had shown him the notes with date and time of the birth of Rajneesh, he then said to her in the wording of Gyan Bhed: “I am sorry, I can only make this birth chart after seven years. If the child survives then I will make his chart without any charge, but I don’t think he will survive. If he does it will be a miracle, because then there is a possibility for him to become a buddha.” (Urmila 2007, p. 24)

After the death of the state astrologer his son continued to work on Rajneesh’s birth chart, and he finally declared that he would face death every seventh years and almost certainly die at the age of twenty-one [the year of his enlightenment].”

“Those who are familiar with the Master’s biography know that there were life-changing events in His life approximately every seven years. In Osho’s chart Saturn is located in the 8th house (of sex, death, and transformation), and so the theme of death arises almost every time Saturn cycles around the chart.
At the age of 7, we find Osho living through a significant loss when His beloved grandfather dies. The loss of this man, who He was very much attached to, was His first experience of death and the transitory nature of human existence. This event colored His whole view of life and prompted the beginning of His spiritual quest.
When Osho turned 14, He attempted to face His own death by lying down on a temple floor and waiting to leave His body. While there, He was confronted with a poisonous snake crawling over His body, but the snake did not strike, so He realized that His death was not meant to be at that time.
On March 21, 1953, at age 21, He died to the ego and became enlightened. This profound event set the tone for the rest of His life on planet earth.
During Osho’s first Saturn Return, at age 28, He let go of His childhood yearnings and entered into His worldly work when He accepted the professorship offered to Him by the University of Jabalpur. The years that followed were called His “Acharya” years, during which He traveled extensively throughout India, teaching and lecturing to the masses. This ministry would blossom further in 7 year’s time, when He began teaching meditation and setting up His first ashram in Mumbai.
When Osho turned 35, He moved His ashram to Pune. There He attracted thousands upon thousands of disciples from all over the world in order to create His vision of the new man. Many of us heard the call and flocked to His magnetism.
At age 42, He moved that ashram to the New World. The place was called the Big Muddy Ranch near Antelope, Oregon, and it was to be an experiment to create a city of new men and women. Later renamed Rajneeshpuram, that city would last no more than five years, at which point Osho was forced to leave.
Wandering the world for a year or so, He returned to Pune at near-about 49 years of age to begin what would finally be seen as a winding down of the ministry begun when He was 29.” (Agnes & Nirvan. Viha Connection, 2019:1)

Shyam Lal Soni, childhood friend of Osho, recalls
“It was the full moon night of Kartik in 1948. Must have been around 11 pm. We were sitting on the riverbank in Gadarwara. All around was quiet and silent when all of a sudden Rajneesh spoke.
He expressed that he is needed in the field of religion, not in other fields; that religion is his vocation.
This sentiment did not appeal to me and seemed inconsistent at the time because his inclination was more towards communism. But the very next day this feeling started to find expression in his life. Politics and literature, all became unimportant in comparison to religion. Philosophy and religion remained his only interest.
Moving around and playing at secluded places and in solitude during the night continued, because of fearlessness, love for nature and the tendency of following his quest. He would also encourage friends if they felt afraid. His love for nature was so evident then as it is clear today. He has always been sensitive about nature. He made beauty of nature his eyes and its music his heart. He opened himself to the universe, he invited the guest in his heart. He found his soul soaring high on mountains, and descending into the depths of the valleys. The infinite expanse of the sky, the utter silence of stars and boundless beauty of flowers penetrated his inner being. Within, ‘self’ disappeared and godliness came into being.
His affinity and love for nature, fearlessness and unquenchable quest were not without reason or basis, but they were the foundation of some unknown search and experiment.” (Translated from Hindi. www.oshonews.com 30.10.2020)
(Note: Comments from Osho News: The full moon on 16th November 1948 was the Supermoon of the 20th century. The next Supermoon of the same magnitude will be on 6th December 2052. It will be the absolute closest full moon to Earth in this century at a distance of merely 221,472 miles.)

On Taaran Darshan, in Smarika 1974
“This publication documents 35 years of birth celebrations of Sant Taaran Taran (1448-1515), a Jain reformer who worked mainly in central India. Osho spoke at these celebrations for many years, starting when he was 22. Thus, though not officially a book about Osho, the book documents many of the occasions on which Osho spoke there including a few pictures and his words. The “author”-publisher and sponsor of these events, Sarv Dharm Sammelan – literally “all-religions conference” – was also a sponsor/organizer of interfaith gatherings…
The celebrations, when the date is mentioned, are all between Nov 26 and Dec 25, with Osho’s birthday exactly in the middle fwiw.” (www.sannyas.wiki ‘On Taaran Darshan’. In: Smarika 1974)

Osho talks on the symbolism of the Rajneesh Foundation logo
“It is a very simple symbol. Just in the middle there is one point; that means one – the ultimate source and the ultimate goal. The journey is from one to one. One becomes three – the triangle around it: the trinity of christians of the three faces of hindu gods, trimurti, or if you understand the language of physics, then electron, neuron, positron… but one becomes three. Then three becomes nine, because each one again becomes three, and so on, so forth.
That nine is the symbol of the world – the world of ten thousand things – because nine is the last digit. From one to nine everything is finished; then there is only repetition. Ten, eleven, twelve; they are all repetitions. That is the symbol: from one to three, three to nine, and then again there is a circle, a big circle surrounding it. So the first point is the source and the last circle is the goal. It is a very simple symbol.” (Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There. Darshan Diary, 1980. Using lower case throughout)

Over the years Osho has spoken, something like 55 million words worth of books have been produced in English alone – 275 books. That’s not including the 400 or so books printed in Hindi nor the 347 in other foreign languages, the dozen or so compilations, the 48 darshan diaries, the 187 books of responses to questions, nor the biographies and photo biographies. (Statistics 1988)

Mistlberger on the Inner Circle
“The problem of the politics of succession has not spared his surviving movement. There was no individual successor (there rarely is for larger-than-life-gurus) but he did appoint a body of twenty-one close disciples – called the ‘inner circle’ – to carry on his work, mostly in an administrative context. The number he chose is of interest if only in passing; he claimed his enlightenment occurred at age twenty-one, and in 1984 he declared twenty-one of his disciples to be enlightened (although later revoking the claim and declaring it had all been an elaborate joke/device)…
The number is also the product of Gurdjieff’s key Laws of 3 and 7. But whatever his reasons for choosing the number twenty-one (and doubtless he would have claimed it unimportant), the original group itself did not remain intact for very long. By 1994, four of them amicably departed (and were replaced), and by the late 1990s an effort was initiated to begin de-emphasizing the personality cult element.” (Mistlberger 2010, p. 438)

Nirvano left her body on 09.12.1989
“And exactly 40 days later (how biblical), Osho left his body too.” (Abhiyana 2017, p. 489)

Anando writes on Osho knowing his death was approaching
“Osho knew the date he would leave his body, nine months beforehand. On April 10^th, 1989, after giving his discourse, he said that he felt his whole body moving away from him. He then surprised me by saying he would not be speaking again, even though he had just started a new discourse series. He left his body on January 19, 1990. Years earlier, he has explained in a discourse that approximately nine months before a person dies, depending on the length of their conception, something happens in the body, something disconnects in the hara center. He said that an awakened person would feel this, and know that death was approaching.” (Note: On this point see also text in Part 7.6 and Fig. 8 with the ‘Om’ sign drawn by Osho on Anando’s notepad in August 1989).

In his landscape sized compilation with Osho letters, ‘The Goose is out’ (Kabeer 2001), Sw Krishna Kabeer (Chirantan Brahmachari) has over four coloured pages designed a graphic presentation of his conceptual understanding of Osho’s life and death based on numerology.
Heading: Oshoteric Message:
1. Celebrate 30th-31th December as CLIMAX.
2. LIFE & DEATH – Hidden in each other!
3. DEATH FACTOR – Helps!
4. Unfold mystery – enter MY WORLD!
Then follows two pages with 12 b&w photos of Osho from Jabalpur under the heading:
FEAST YOUR EYES UPON OSHO.
Following page with the heading ‘Climax Celebration’ has a graphic presentation:
OSHO in a triangle with the text ’Life & Death Hidden in each other’ connecting:
30th Dec – 19 Days Prior – LIFE 11-12-1931 (Death Factor)
31th Dec – 19 Days Later – DEATH 19-01-1990 (Death Factor).
How?
Date of Birth: 1+1+1+2+1+9+3+1 Total = 19 Date of NIRVANA.
Date of Nirvana: 1+9+0+1+1+9+9+0 Total = 30–19 = 11 (Death Factor) Date of Birth.

 
18. Astrology

*The following is an excerpt from:
Osho Source Book: Vol. I. Section 1.0. Birth and Childhood in Kuchwada 1931-1939.
Presented in same section is: Fig.1. Birth Chart of Bhagwan Shree Rajnesh.

“Death was not only witnessed first hand by Rajneesh, but also mentioned as a theme of destiny by a famous state astrologer who predicted, that the boy would not survive beyond his seventh year. Nana, his maternal grandfather, had earlier made the long journey to Varanasi to find the great astrologer, and when Nani, his maternal grandmother, had shown him the notes with date and time of the birth of Rajneesh, he then said to her in the wording of Gyan Bhed:
“I am sorry. I can only make this birth chart after seven years. If the child survives then I will make his chart without any charge, but I don’t think he will survive. If he does it will be a miracle, because then there is a possibility for him to become a buddha.” (Urmila 2007, p. 24)
The chart made by the state astrologer in Varanasi and received by Osho’s grandfather Nana (Raja Saheb) is leading to the following considerations: “He [Raja Saheb] requested the state astrologer to prepare a horoscope telling him the date and time of Rajas’s birth. Having calculated something for few minutes the astrologer said, “The year 1931, 11th of December and that also in the morning time, it’s a marvelous time for a child’s birth. Venus, Saturn, Mars and Mercury all the four stars [planets] are in the seventh house of the centre of high status. Sun and Moon are in the sixth and the eighth house and Jupiter in the second house.” He paused for a while and then said, “Lalaji! The boy is very brilliant and dignified. I’ll prepare his horoscope and bring it to you myself. Please give me your detailed address…I have never seen such strong and dignified stars of anybody in my whole life, but I have a doubt whether the child would survive for seven years. I’ll know this on reading the almanac after seven years. I’ll prepare the horoscope and will come personally to your village to see the child even if your village is far away from here. And now please, for God’s sake, don’t ask any questions. Please go and pray God for the child’s long life.”” (Bhed 2006, p. 22)
After the death of the state astrologer his son continued to work on Rajneesh’s birth chart, and he finally declared that he would face death every seventh years and almost certainly die at the age of twenty-one [the year of Osho’s enlightenment].” End of OSB quote.

*Documents attesting to the adoption of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Madyapa 1984, pp. 534-36), procured in Oregon in February 1984. Adoption of Osho as a child:

“Swami Swarupananda, Ma Sheela’s father, surprises the whole commune when he reveals that he had adopted Bhagwan at the age of four [on Jan 12, 1936]. “Bapuji”, as Swarupananda is affectionately called, relates the story to the Rajneesh Times.
Shortly after Bhagwan was born, His parents consulted astrologers to have the child’s destiny read. But the astrologers refused to do the chart, saying that the boy would die before the age of seven. A strategy was suggested that might avert this destiny, and that was for the parents to disown Him. If He lived, the astrologers said, He would be the leader of mankind.
The parents did not want to believe this dire prediction. They tried to ignore it as if nothing had happened – maybe the predictions were wrong. At the age of one-and-a-half, Bhagwan almost died of smallpox. The sores covered His body and His eyes were swollen shut. They thought surely He would die, but He lived. His parents began to take the predictions seriously.
Within a year, He was sick again – this time it was typhoid fever. He almost died, but by some miracle He survived, only to have the typhoid recur after a period of time. He was deadly sick, but again He pulled through.
About this time Swami Swarupananda met Bhagwan’s father, Swami Devateerth Bharti, affectionately called “Dadaji”. Swarupananda could see that his friend was burdened with some anxiety, and he asked what was wrong. “Dadaji” told the whole story. Swarupananda pointed out to him that things were happening according to the astrologer’s prediction. He then offered to adopt Bhagwan as his son. There was a strong feeling between the men – “Dadaji” felt that he was right. He took a picture of Swarupananda to show to Bhagwan’s mother, Ma Amrit Saraswati Jain, and to ask her agreement. On the next trip to Bombay, “Dadaji” and Saraswati brought the young Bhagwan to his new father.
Swarupananda remembers the child Bhagwan as being “in a class by Himself… There was something about Him, a king of quietness.. And the eyes… those eyes… there was such a luster in them it would always draw attention to Him… there was understanding and peace in those eyes… this child… I felt He was coming from a different place than the rest of the world.”
Because of his agreement with “Dadaji”, Swarupananda keeps this story a well-guarded secret until the evening of February 9, 1984. The time has ome for the news to be revealed.
A surprise meeting of the commune is held to make the announcement. Naturally, a huge celebration follows with “Bapuji” joining in the dancing.
One week later, Bhagwan, on His own merits, is recognized by the Immigration and Naturalization Service as a religious teacher.” (Madyapa 1984, pp. 534-35)
(Note: Madyapa 1984 also shows a document and photo on same pages, with Osho’s mother somewhat bewildered being presented with the said document. Some would argue that the presented document on the adoption of Osho when he was a child is a forgery. Even if this is true, it fulfilled its purpose and made the INS recognize Osho as a religious leader. The argument has also been put forward that this adoption document is in the same category as Osho’s will which mysteriously appeared from some archive in 2013. The rumor goes that Swami Niren, Osho’s lawyer for many years, has his role in the construction of this early will document which was later to be withdrawn).

* Osho’s Saturn Returns:
“Back in the summer of 1989, some of us astrologers took a look at Osho’s chart and noticed that His second Saturn Return was imminent. Because Saturn in Osho’s chart was in a very prominent place and part of a powerful stellium of four other planets, we all suspected that something significant would be coming down in Pune that winter. We definitely wanted to be there for it.
Looking back now, we all know what a momentous time it turned out to be, as Osho left His body one month prior to completing His second Saturn Return. In the Master’s life Saturn cycles had an uncannily close relationship with the most significant events in His life, including His enlightenment at age 21.
It is fascinating to follow the life-changing chapters of His earthly journey as they all coincide closely with significant Saturn transits. Since Saturn signifies responsibility, challenge, hard work, and structure, it is best known for being the demanding taskmaster in the world of astrology. And, in fact, the theme of the taskmaster best reveals Osho’s intense connection with Saturn.
But before we take a look at Osho’s Saturn transits, here is a short review of how Saturn cycles around our charts: Approximately every seven years, Saturn makes a geometrical hard aspect to itself. All of us are born with Saturn located in our charts at a particular degree of a zodiacal sign and in a particular astrological house. When we are around the age of 7, Saturn has moved about 90 degrees from its original position making a 90-degree angle to itself or what we term a square to itself. When we are around 14, Saturn is 180 degrees away from that beginning position and is said to be in opposition to itself. At 21 Saturn is now 270 degrees around the circle from itself, and is once again in a square aspect to itself since in another 90 degrees it will reach the same degree it was in at our birth. When Saturn returns to this same degree, this is known as our Saturn Return, which astrologically signifies a conjunction of the planet to itself.
Saturn Returns happen approximately every 29 years and represent a period of time that can be both challenging and freeing. Saturn squared, opposite, and/or conjunct itself all represent transformational periods of time in any person’s life. Some of us ride through these aspects with small disruptions, and some, as in Osho’s case, ride with a full gale of changes happening.

Those who are familiar with the Master’s biography know that there were life-changing events in His life approximately every seven years. In Osho’s chart Saturn is located in the 8th house (of sex, death, and transformation), and so the theme of death arises almost every time Saturn cycles around the chart.
At the age of 7, we find Osho living through a significant loss when His beloved grandfather dies. The loss of this man, who He was very much attached to, was His first experience of death and the transitory nature of human existence. This event colored His whole view of life and prompted the beginning of His spiritual quest.
When Osho turned 14, He attempted to face His own death by lying down on a temple floor and waiting to leave His body. While there, He was confronted with a poisonous snake crawling over His body, but the snake did not strike, so He realized that His death was not meant to be at that time.
On March 21, 1953, at age 21, He died to the ego and became enlightened. This profound event set the tone for the rest of His life on planet earth.
During Osho’s first Saturn Return, at age 28, He let go of His childhood yearnings and entered into His worldly work when He accepted the professorship offered to Him by the University of Jabalpur. The years that followed were called His “Acharya” years, during which He traveled extensively throughout India, teaching and lecturing to the masses. This ministry would blossom further in 7 year’s time, when He began teaching meditation and setting up His first ashram in Mumbai.
When Osho turned 35, He moved His ashram to Pune. There He attracted thousands upon thousands of disciples from all over the world in order to create His vision of the new man. Many of us heard the call and flocked to His magnetism.
At age 42, He moved that ashram to the New World. The place was called the Big Muddy Ranch near Antelope, Oregon, and it was to be an experiment to create a city of new men and women. Later renamed Rajneeshpuram, that city would last no more than five years, at which point Osho was forced to leave.
Wandering the world for a year or so, He returned to Pune at near-about 49 years of age to begin what would finally be seen as a winding down of the ministry begun when He was 29.
In astrology the second Saturn Return is considered to be the letting go of one’s world service to enter into old age culminating in one’s death. This was a very swift transition for our Master as He left His body just prior to the end of His second Saturn Return at around the age of 58. His death came when He was still young, but having had Him complete His journey and task of turning us all on to a more mystical, celebrational, and meditative way of life.

Whenever Saturn reached a hard aspect to itself in Osho’s chart He had to eiher face death, die, or let go of some sort of life structure. Saturn turned out to be the prophetic herald of a period of transition and change in His life – as it is in all our lives. The beauty with which He let go within Himself, allowing the old to leave in order that the new could be born is, in and of itself, a teaching for us all.
In the very early days of His teaching period, Osho is quoted as saying something like this: “In my first commune you will learn about sex, in my second commune I will teach you about power. In the third phase: death and transformation.” How amazing that Saturn, His most important planetary companion, was actually located in the Scorpionic 8th house of His chart, the house whose themes are sex, death, and deep transformation!
It has been another 29 years – or Saturn Return – since Osho’s death, and it is interesting to note that the appearance of Wild Wild Country on the entertainment scene has recently called Him into the mass mind yet again in a controversial way. Perhaps there is more to come as the Saturn cycle completes next year?
If He were to still be embodied, Osho would now be in His third Saturn Return. Who knows whether or not there is an ongoing reverberation of His evolutionary cycles even beyond the body? This is an interesting possibility for us all to ponder.
On our personal journeys, whenever it touches our charts, the Saturnian taskmaster energy invites us to let go, allow, and in fact, humbly and gratefully receive whatever it is Saturn wants us to bring into the world. Seeing how important a prompt it was in the Master’s chart, this stands as a reminder for us to celebrate change and welcome the new turns on the road of this adventure we call life.” (Agnes & Nirvan in: Viha Connection, 2019:1)

Devakant writes on Neelam and Nirvano
“I was amazed to find out that she and Nirvano had not only the same birth date, in the same year, but even the same MOMENT, one of them born in England and one of them in India, at the same time. It was a strange coincidence, or rather synchronicity, that these two women who were the closest people to him, had in fact arrived on this planet on different continents at the same moment.” (Devakant 2019, p. 256)

The Nature of our Essence. Excerpt:
“The 20th-century Russian mystic, G.I. Gurdieff, suggested to one of his disciples, Fritz Peters, (author of ‘Remembering Gurdieff’) that Astrology is map of who we are not. He suggested that Astrology is that with which we have to struggle in order to wake up. Osho speaks similarly. In two talks recorded in the book ‘Astrology: Superstition, Blind Faith, or a Door to the Essential?’ (compilation by Osho Media International) he speaks of three levels of Astrology. As I understand it, the first level is the external, which involves the world of events. This is where most popular Astrology is stuck. It is superficial. The next level is the world of psychology. It is here that we can alter how we respond to events – to go with, or go against. Here is where psychological astrology goes – and ends. The next, the inner or essential level, is to recognize that we are at heart a silent witness to all events – and of all our reactions to those events. In essence we are untainted, unaffected, and free. Here one is pure emptiness, open to the flow of existence – creative, spontaneous, and fully alive. Here, one is the mirror, not the dust. Here the stars meet meditation.” (Sw Anand Sudhir. Viha Connection, 2020:5)
(Note: Sw Anand Sudhir is the author of: ‘Astrology: For Those Who Won’t Admit They’re Interested: A Meditation on the Ancient Art’. Available as ebook and hardcopy).

ASTROLOGY: The Alchemy of Love and Awareness. By Sudhir
“Osho and Astrology: An Interpretation…
I am deeply influenced by Osho’s take on the subject. Aside from mocking astrology on most occasions lest we become too serious. He gave two discourses in Hindi that have been translated and published as ‘Astrology: Superstition, Blind Faith, or a Door to the Essential?’ This book is a goldmine of unique insights.
In it Osho suggests that there are three kinds of astrology. The first is predictive astrology, the astrology of fortune-tellers. This version is non-essential. Osho describes a time when astrology genuinely mapped the ebbs and flows of nature and the influence of cosmic events on mundane affairs. In those ancient times astrology could be accurately used to predict events and also gave people a humbling sense of the awesome scale of existence. In contrast, Osho describes contemporary astrology as a ‘temple in ruins’. It no longer accurately describes the flows of nature or the workings of cosmic patters. The stars are simply not where they were when the constellations were first imagined. Astrology as fortune-telling, in the light of this, falls into superstition and is to be taken with a grain of salt.
Fortunately the story doesn’t stop there. There’s a second kind of astrology, through which we can discover what we can change and what we can’t, what’s essential and what’s not. This is best described as the place where psychology meets the inescapable. This is where the symbols and tales of astrology come into their own. The symbols of astrology carry universal archetypal patters and narratives within them that elegantly describe the various storylines and themes that we struggle and dance with, within ourselves and in our lives. In this realm there are things we can change and things that are inscapable, and both are for us to simply be with. Here is where it’s worth exploring what it means to be an Aries or a Pisces, or to explore the symbolic meaning of the planet Pluto. In exploring the archetypal narratives of these ancient symbols we can place ourselves, in our everyday existence, in a way that is in accord with nature – or not.
Then, of course, there is a third kind of astrology. Osho describes this as the astrology of essence. This is that place where there is no movement, no time, a complete absence of narrative. It is the world of no-mind, the witness. Patanjali describes this as the hub of the cosmic wheel and names it the Pole Star. To get here we must leave all our stories behind and come to a state of being that just is. For me, to be an astrologer influenced by Osho means that the direction in which we are ultimately aiming brings us to this third place.” (Sw Anand Sudhir.Viha Connection, 2020:6)

2. To Collect and Protect. Rashid Maxwell addresses the issue how to protect Osho memorabilia when disciples who have been gifted with a present leave their body.

“Now we come to the crux of this article. Last summer, Swami Anuragi of Delhi, a high-up in a big steel conglomerate and former driver to Ma Laxmi, tracked down the cane [a walking stick presented to Osho in Oregon 1981]. It was donated to his collection of Osho memorabilia, albeit with dry-rot and without the silver knob or black lacquer. He has since lovingly restored and preserved it.
Anuragi’s archive stems from love. A couple of years ago he began to feel the need to conserve, for future generations, Osho’s un-doctored first edition books. He was travelling all over India sharing his concerns with friends and, in his words, “things started coming to me. Amazing unpublished photographs, letters written by Osho, early pamphlets, and so on.”
He has a meditation room in his house that now contains the full set of first editions of every Osho publication during his lifetime (before Osho’s words were reduced to cold buffet snacks in pre-digested compilations) and also robes, cups,, and other items gifted by Osho to disciples.
Anuragi wants it to be known that anyone who has an item that passed through Osho’s hands and needs to be looked after with love and respect, he and his Archive would welcome it.
For me this brings into consideration what to do with items in our possession such as malas, wooden boxes and other gifts from Osho at the time of our respective deaths or inability to care for them. These objects radiate an elevated energy. I may not be able to catch the pull of a 13th century Christian saint in a museum [referring to a visit to Victoria and Albert Museum in London] – but I have certainly experienced the extraordinary effect of meditating in Anuragi’s sanctuary. It is like entering into Lao Tzu House in the old days. The air is thick with presence; walking in it is like wading underwater in a crystalline lake.
There is another archivist in the United States of America, Swami Champak, who has established an Osho Research and Archive Centre in Oregon. He too is an Osho lover, also a historian, educator, archivist, curator and collector. His wish is to keep alive the heart and teachings of Osho, including Osho’s work with his people. All Champak’s collecting, sharing, digitizing, exhibiting, outreach and support is voluntary and free of cost.
This too is the wish of both Swami Neeten of OSHO Source BOOK and the friends at Sannyas Wiki – they are trying, in their different ways, to get everything related to Osho up into virtual safety for all time – that includes all his words and photocopies of everything he ever wrote, schedules of his lecture tours, original artwork, film, video and photographs of him and his communes, personal stories of his people – in fact everything pertaining to Osho that later generations need to know.
And it’s also important that those who make films, documentary or feature films, or write accounts in books or essays, they too are doing the necessary work of conserving and propagating Osho’s vision. This includes Love Osho, the website of Ma Chetna and Swami Swaram, another couple who, by creating podcasts, conserve stories of those whose lives were changed by Osho.” (To collect and protect.

Some comprehensive private collections of Osho’s books and many other items are for the time being with Osho’s brother Nikalank (Pune, India), his former secretary Anando (Byron Bay, Australia), Waduda Paradiso (Boulder, USA), Anand Neeten (Skagen, Denmark), and Anand Sugit (Amsterdam, Holland). Satya Anuragi (New Delhi, India) is collecting Osho memorabilia and he is the founder of the ‘Mystic Foundation’ to set up a comprehensive collection of Osho material, maybe in the lower Himalayas.

 

3. Osho’s Design of Mystic Rose Meditative Therapy Process. Written for Leela.1988.

Leena writes on receiving instructions from Osho
“In early May of 1988, a call came from Osho’s secretary Anando, asking me to meet her at the gates of his house in the Ashram. When I arrived, she handed me a page of instructions. I began to read:

‘Laughter for seven days, three hours a day.
Begin with ‘Yahoo!’ then laugh for three hours, then end with ‘Yahoo!’
Tears for seven days, begin with ‘Yahoo!’ Then cry for three hours, then end with ‘Yahoo!’ at the beginning and the end. (Laughing and crying for no reason at all).
This is a new meditation which also functions as physiological change, medical transformation, and brings out your child with its freshness and wonder.
It will be a deep cleansing of many wounds and scars of centuries. Society has repressed your laughter and your crying because they disturb the status quo. This has been going on for millennia. We have repressed much and whatsoever is repressed in this way becomes a wound.
These wounds and scars have been developing for many years. They are not part of the body, they are surrounding the consciousness and have to be released.
It is an absolutely new meditation which has never existed before in the history of mankind. Even scientists are now becoming aware of the benefits of laughter, what it can do for the body and its health, flexibility and playfulness. A good laugh or cry will also rejuvenate you.
We are going into laughter first because it will be easier; crying has been repressed more deeply than laughing. There should be no talking in the group, just laughing. If someone in the group is not laughing, the other members of the group should gently tickle them. If someone is not crying, then the other members should just softly touch them and be crying themselves. Nobody should be left dead.
Let your tears and your laughter be released and you will feel like a new person.
Three hours have been chosen because it is like a dam when it breaks and one hour is not enough. The question is just to break the dam. You will dind it very refreshing, everything is allowed, just don’t hurt anyone.
There should be no talking during the three hours of the group.
No crying during the laughter.
No laughter during the crying.
This is important.
Person to run it: Leela.’

“What is this?” I asked.
“That’s it,” she replied. “He wants you to run it.”
(Itzler 2022, pp. 11-12)

Leela continues
“Then came a new development. We began to receive feedback from some participants that they were feeling quite vulnerable after completing the week of crying. I thought that maybe two or three days of meditation would help to help settle their energy, so I sent a question to Osho asking for advice.
He responded with the instruction to add a week of meditation for three hours per day at the end of the process – the same period of time as the first two weeks. The final week then became known as “The Watcher on the Hills.”…
Within a couple of months of starting to run the Mystic Rose, Osho introduced two further processes. The first was ‘Born Again Meditation’ and the second was ‘No-Mind Meditation’…
Around the time of the Mystic Rose, Osho asked for the Chuang Tzu Auditorium which was attached to his house and used for earlier gatherings, to be enclosed and converted into his bedroom suite. It was completely redone and lavishly appointed, with a white marble floor, a magnificent chandelier and floor-to-ceiling tinted glass panels that looked out over the gardens.
I strongly suspect that Osho never intended to make a permanent shift to this beautiful but enormous “bedroom,” because sleeping there for a short while, he announced that he preferred his old bedroom and moved back. Soon afterwards, Osho requested that this space be used for the Mystic Rose Meditation, as well as for silent sittings.
For the final week of meditation, we transferred to a long enclosed walkway with air conditioning and glass walls, which ran through Osho’s garden. Rather like the “bedroom,” it had been built for Osho’s personal use, but then transferred by him to his disciples for silent sitting. By now, the Mystic Rose had become the most popular process in the ashram. It was running constantly and was always fully booked.” (Itzler 2022, pp. 24-26)

 

4. Osho Book Projects in the Netherlands / Swami Anand Nandan (Nandan Bosma). 3 pages. (Personal information. May 2014 & E-mail. 25.02.2017. Amended)

“The ‘Osho Book’ Project
All Osho books are available in The Hague, in Hollands National Library (called: The Koninklijke Bibliotheek – The Royal Library), short: the KB. If you type ‘Osho’ in the search-window in their catalogue it gives you now (25.02.2017) 683 hits.
In the beginning friends donated books for the KB-collection, while later on the Foundation Friends of Osho paid – and still pays – for the book donations. But the last few years not many books are published, only the Hindi translations I order from Abhivandan (Osho Publikaties). Because the many English compilation books that appeared and still appear we did not buy, although sometimes we made an exception (like The Sound of Running Water and The Lotus Paradise). The idea within the Friends of Osho was from the beginning to collect and to pay only for the books with original Osho-discourses.
I have always been the contact-person with the KB (at the moment Mr. Peter van Beest is my contact). There has never been a written agreement, in my first contact and visit to the Head of the Collection Department, as I remember, they liked the idea and since then books were brought by me.

1. Osho Books (English)
The collection in the KB of these books is I think practically complete, maybe a few very early talks are missing. The philosophy behind this was that we (= The World Academy of Creative… etc. that existed in 1988 for the occasion of launching The Golden Future, The Greatest Challenge) thought it would be a good thing to have all Osho’s books available in the Netherlands. Devaraj, Osho’s doctor, later known as Amrito, asked me to organize the Academy in Holland, and launch the Dutch translation. The title we gave to the booklet was Manifest voor een Gouden Toekomst.
The Academy did not have a long life, from Poona came the request to stop further activities under its name. We decided to continue started activities under the flag of the Foundation Friends of Osho (formalized by notary act in 1989).

The Quest
The Quest was the main project, made by a group of enthusiastic sannyasins: reducing all 8000 questions asked to Osho into one sentence, and giving the place in which book the answer was to be found. (Of course not the text itself, impossible because of copyrights). It was inspired and overviewed by me. The program is still in use, everybody is free to take it to his own computer from our ‘Friends of Osho’ website www.vrienden-van-osho.nl
On the main screen it reads: The Quest, click: Vragen aan Osho.
For all what I did for Osho Ma Prem Hasya presented me in Poona in October 1989 with one of Osho’s house-robes, which of course I value as a treasure!

The Word
I also organized little groups of people who would make short contents of each of Osho’s lectures, a kind of library work, called The Word, to make Osho’s talks more easily accessible, but on ‘order’ of Poona this work had to stop.
Besides The Quest and The Word a few people started making a bibliography of Osho’s books. Last week I have send to Samadhan a copy of the work that has been done, it has been done very detailed. Now at www.sannyaswiki

2. Books About Osho (English)
There are copies of them in the KB, but there is no special list containing titles. You try a title and it is possible it comes up in the KB-Catalogue. Mostly books written during Poona I time, and about Rajneeshpuram. By sannyasins and non-sannyasins. As an exception occasionally The Foundation also pays for a book about Osho.
I have sent to Bhagawati a few years ago a title-list (with scan of the front side) of the Dutch and English books about Osho that are in the KB. See www.oshonews.com/books/

3. Osho Books and Books about Osho (Dutch)
Abhivandan (Osho Publikaties) did always send a copy of the Dutch Osho books he publishes to the KB. That is according to an appointment all Dutch Publishers have with the KB about the books they publish: they send one copy to the KB for free.

4. The IISG-Project
In The International Institute of Social History (IISG) in Amsterdam, is stored all the documentation about Osho since ca 1980 (the year I started collection) in Holland (paper, TV), but also The (American) Rajneesh Times etc. It is stored in (now) 167 boxes, total length some 18 meters.
As you may know, the IISG is world-known, as it has kilometers of archives on international social items, like e.g. on students- and women movements, but also the archives of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. See www.iisg.nl
Take: Catalogue. Type: Osho. Take: Search. Then take: Archief Neo-Sannyas Beweging Nederland. Then take: Content List, and you’ll see described the contents of 159 boxes.

5. Hoe Osho in Mijn Leven Kwam (How Osho came into my life)
I was inspired by Bhagawati when I read her book Past the Point of No Return, and decided to take the same idea for stories of Dutch sannyasins. Some 68 are now to find on the VVO-website, 42 have been published in a booklet. But a second printing shows now these 68 stories (Nandan 2012)

6. Osho Book Seminar
A seminar on Osho’s books was held in Hilversum on December 12th, 2015. Presented were papers and research on Osho’s books and the video ‘Journey of a Book’ (20 minutes) was also shown. Proceedings: ‘My Books are Immensely Important.’ (2016). 25 pages.

7. Zender Osho Nederland (ZON)
The ZON (this foundation started in 1989 as well) tried to get from the Dutch government permission to broadcast on the Dutch National Network. Legally this was possible, depending on certain requirements. However, the ‘Committee for the Media’ denied access: Friends of Osho did to their judgment not have basis enough in the society at large and also in appeal at the highest court for this type of disagreement, the ‘Raad van State’, we did not have any success. So this was ‘end of story'”.

Nandan writes on The Quest database
“The basis of this bibliography is mine, made in the mid-eighties, but I did not do anything with these basic data, except storing it into my computer.
What I remember is that somebody of the group we were working with on The Quest took on him providing all the extra information, like mentioning the chapter-titles and even the weight of a book!” (Nandan. E-mail. 26.02.2017)

See also article in ‘Viha Connection’ (2013:4). An English translation of the Foreword to ‘Hoe Osho in Mijn Leven Kwam’ (How Osho Came into My Life) (Nandan 2010). 4 pages.

Samadhan writes
“‘The Quest’ project from Nandan was created about 25 years ago and not updated since. It is not available anymore. It contained information about Osho books and an abbreviation of all questions asked to Osho in these books.
The information about his books is now (much expanded and updated) available in the sannyas wiki (www.sannyas.wiki).
The approximately 11.000 abbreviated questions (and much more information) are contained in the ‘Osho Archive Catalog’ (www.samadhan.nl). (Samadhan. E-mail. 28.12.2017)

 

5. Sannyas Names

Sannyas Names. Introduction to the new list of Osho Sannyas Names & terms. Compiled by Swami Samudro. For download: Full List all Names (PDF); First Names only (PDF); Full List all names (Excell). Samudro writes:
“However, I wanted to do it more thoroughly. Initially I began researching all the Darshan Diaries on the Osho Books CD-ROM, to check which names Osho had given and with which meaning. Soon it became obvious that there were numerous editing errors. Possibly because Maneesha (or rather, Big Prem) was given just one day to transcribe the tape of the darshan. To keep the nature of the darshans as an intimate meeting between master and disciple, Osho had given the instruction that the tapes be erased immediately after the transcription. So there is no way now to double-check on audio tapes.
Also the book editors were overwhelmed with work, and as there was no internet in those days, it would have been difficult to get all Sanskrit names transliterated correctly. It was also not an easy task to decipher Osho’s pronunciation on some words even with the tape recordings of regular discourses. Add to that the flimsy quality of audio cassette tapes in India in 1974-1981!
Urged to find the correct spelling of Sanskrit names I found a couple of Sanskrit dictionaries. The main one I use to check the sannyas names is the Monier-Williams Sanskrit Dictionary from the late 1890’s. Leafing through the 1333 pages of this tome, I came across many other Sanskrit words that could have also made very interesting names. And thus I started to compile a new list of sannyas names and also corrected the gender of the names.
I have also double-checked all the other names given by Osho which are in other languages, like Hindi, Urdu or Arabic, i.e. not of Sanskrit origin and all those names which the Academy staff has added over the years. Thus I have expanded the 1550 names I found from Osho’s published books to approx 24.000 names in what will be the final list. As I only have extra time for it on occasions, it has taken me about 7 years for a compilation in the form of an Excel file. I am also making it available as a downloadable pdf file. It is preferable to search within the file for the meanings, rather than the name spelling.” (Samudro. www.oshonews.com. 20.03.2015)

7. Talk Given by Satya Vedant at Osho Chair Inauguration Celebration at Surat (2017)

“Visionary Osho
The sages and the mystics have relentlessly explored the inner dimension of human existence, the subjective dimension. They have looked within with the same objective view as a scientist looks a phenomenon outside. Such mystics, such awakened ones have renewed people’s spirits, they have recharged our energies, they have sharpened our intelligence by sharing their vision and their wisdom.
As an exceptional visionary, Osho’s vision and his multi-dimensional work can be briefly seen through the following:
1. A Reminder: He reminds us that we have an enormous potential to grow and transform our life towards attaining the state of joy, peace, and creativity. He reminds us to live in the moment and remain available to welcome the unknown, the future with awareness and a sense of commitment.
2. An Educator: Osho has functioned as an educator – not as a teacher but as a Guide and as a Facilitator giving us insights and skills to become a mature person. He shows us and helps us how to live life joyfully and responsibly. His teachings are not for us just to memorize but to apply practically and existentially for enhancing our inner growth.
3. A Communicator: Osho is a supreme communicator and not just verbally but more than that, he touches us through a heart to heart communion. Through his hundreds of books, thousands of audio and video discourses and through his thousands of meditation processes he creates a bridge, a direct contact with us.
4. A Healer: We, the humans, our lives are hurt, wounded, leaving us in a state of pain and despair. Osho treats our hurts and our wounds with great compassion and heals us through his love and shows us ways to overcome our miseries.
5. A Unifier: Osho brings us out of our internal and external divisions and our dichotomies by showing how to bring about a union between body and soul, the physical and the material – Zorba and Buddha, and between love and meditation. Osho gives us an all-inclusive, non-divisional, a reverence for all vision.
For Osho, Education is the only way and means to bring about such transformation which can make humanity live a peaceful, a meaningful, joyful life. For Osho, no other revolution can ever succeed except a revolution through Education. His vision of Education is for self-transformation and not for ego-satisfaction. He sees Education not just as a means for accumulating knowledge and information but rather as means for a meaningful change and attaining wisdom – individually as well as collectively. Meditation is a crucial and an integral part of such an Educational process for Osho.
Osho finds Education, of his vision, as a way to give birth to what he calls – “A New Man/A New Woman/A New World”. The newly established Osho chair at the VNSG University at Surat (Gujarat) is a concrete step in this direction. Osho Chair aims at bringing about an educational environment where there is an open opportunity for one’s holistic, a multi-dimensional growth.” Swami Satya Vedant (Dr. Vasant Joshi).

8. The Enlightened Mystic Osho. Excerpt from ’Spectrum of Mindfulness. Osho’s Insights into Inner Ecology / Satya Vedant (2017):

“A rebel, an iconoclast, an enlightened mystic and an intellectual giant, Osho (also known as Acharya Rajneesh and Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) is all this and more. He brought about a spiritual revolution in the lives of those who cared to grow as an aware, creative and loving human being. Osho has spoken fearlessly against orthodox religions, priests and politicians, outdated traditions and anything he finds is a hindrance to the path of self-realization. This has made him the most talked about and controversial spiritual mystic of the twentieth century. Understanding the phenomenon called “Osho” has proven strangely elusive. Perhaps that is inevitable because, at the root, Osho represents the greatest potential paradigm shift in the history of humanity.
Osho is essentially a rebel because he challenges the conventional ways and means of mankind by doing what is forbidden by the society, the religion, or the establishment – in his own way, in his own time, and at the place of his choosing. A rebel does not fear whether what he does is forbidden; because he does it in the interest of the future of mankind. In fact, a rebel shows, as Osho has shown through the power of his vision, that he is the future of mankind.

The Enlightened Visionary Osho and His Relevance for Today

What is the relevance of Osho today, one may ask. Well, the more you listen to what he is actually saying, the more you discover that he has carefully anticipated a time when his vision and words would basically become meaningful and applicable for the entire humanity. He, in a way, puts the humanity on the couch unraveling its every madness. He surgically describes all that is insane with the world around us and how those lunacies are simply expressions of our own inner schizophrenia. And vice versa, he takes all our inner distortions and shows how these create the outer barbarity that passes for ‘civilization’. And at every turn, he explains and demonstrates with his presence, the fundamental medicine for the disease, meditation.
Osho is not just a social or a political revolutionary. Rather, he is aiming at something which goes much beyond than that. While his vision and work have sown the seeds of social revolution, that is not his primary purpose. He is, in fact, aiming at changing, transforming the very nature of life and living as it exists today. He has indeed created a revolution in consciousness.
Osho has worked to create a New Man/New Woman for creating a New Society – not simply a changed society. He is not interested in a refurbished, extended, redesigned version of our present-indicesday society – but a totally new society. This premise has to go deep into our understanding else there is a strong possibility we may destroy humanity in coping with the challenges of tomorrow.

Osho Vision for Pathways to Personal Transformation

It is apparent that as a species we have, in our evolutionary process, made our genes work for us. We have shown that regardless of the environment or the social milieu, individuals such as Buddha have overcome the odds and gone beyond the biological and psychological barriers. Studies have also shown how aggressive and antisocial individual behaviour is related to family and socio-cultural influences.
The critical factor is how well we are successful in channelling the energy, in transforming the energy of aggression and violence into love and compassion. Osho has shown the way toward materializing this change.
We urgently need to recognize that Osho has done pioneering work in designing a spiritual index that can show at which rate mankind is making or destroying lives. The spiritual index is that of Awareness – at all levels of human existence: the body, the thought, and the emotion. Such awareness then can be geared to measuring the social, political, and cultural manifestation of human energy. We in fact need indices of spirituality free from dogma, authority, control, and idolatry. Osho’s guidance on these issues is invaluable. By listening to him we can begin to give a new direction for creating what he calls ‘The New Man’. For this New Man, Osho has shown basic pathways: yoga, love, and meditation as seen in the practice of Yoga, Tantra and Zen to bring about a personal transformation.” (www.oshonews.com 26.05.2017)

 

9. Sw Satya Vedant (Dr Vasant Joshi). Obituary.

05.05.1941 – 18.03.2022, at 3am, on the full moon of Holi.
Academic life
After completing his PhD from the M.S. University of Baroda in 1966, Satya Vedant left for the USA having been admitted for the graduate program in English Literature at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While a student there, he received an invitation to teach a course on The Cultural and Literary Traditions of India at the University of California, Berkeley, where he taught for three more years (1967 – 1971). He then went through a change in interest and in 1971 enrolled for the doctoral program in Education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he in 1973 attained his PhD in Education.
Satya Vedant has served not only at the University of California and the University of Michigan, but he has also worked as Director of Institutional Research at City Colleges of Chicago. He was Academic Dean, Professor and Chairman of Comparative Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, and also served as Visiting Professor (India Scholar teaching Eastern Religion and Hinduism at Cleveland State University, Ohio.
His range of teaching and research experience included: education, Indian culture and history, religious studies, and meditation and self-improvement. Satya Vedant has been in the academic field for over thirty years – in India and in the United States. He has travelled worldwide: giving lectures, presenting papers, participating in seminars and conferences and conducting workshops.
Life with Osho
While in the US, Vedant hears of Osho and in 1975 he arrived in Pune to participate in a ten-day meditation camp. It was on the first day of this meditation camp that he was initiated into sannyas by Osho. Since then he has dedicated himself to promote Osho’s work worldwide.
After 24 March 1981, when Osho went into his silent phase, Osho asked Satya Vedant to start giving sannyas initiation and energy darshans to Indian seekers (while Teertha took on Western friends). In 1984 Osho declared him enlightened (he was on the list!) and he was later appointed by Osho as Chancellor of the Osho International Multiversity and to be part of the original Inner Circle, which Osho had set up on 6 April 1989.
He was instrumental in the creation of an Osho Chair at the Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSG) in Surat, inaugurated on 22 January 2017. The workshops, seminars and lectures are first focusing on one of the sevenfold Osho chair Basic Framework: Life Empowerment. This was part of a project he had initiated before 2011, so that researchers can learn about Osho’s vision.
Books and Articles
Satya Vedant’s publications include books and a wide range of articles published in journals, magazines, and newspapers in India, the US, and Australia. He has also translated Osho’s books from Hindi to English, e.g. ‘The Fabric of Life: On the Songs of the Mystic Kabir.’ His biography of Osho (2010) has been translated into German, Chinese and Japanese. Some of His books are:

– The Awakened One: The Life and Work of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (1982)
– The Luminous Rebel. Life Story of a Maverick Mystic (2010)
– New Vision for the New Millennium (2000)
– Self Development Through Six Steps to Awareness (2006)
– If it Could Happen to Buddha, Why Not You? (2010)
– Osho Dhyan Aur Utsay Ke Ojaswi Rishi (2012)
– Revolution in Education
– Bharat: Samasayaen Va Samadhan
– Chatana Ke Pankhuri (2008)

10. Rudra writes on the saga of www.sannyas.wiki Bibliography

“About myself, I grew up in Germany, I’ve been sannyasin since 1977 and am a computer programmer by trade. I run oz.sannyas.net purely as a hobby and out of love for Osho. I’m not connected in any way to other sannyas- or non-sannyas organisations, in particular Osho International Foundation.
Sw. Amrito, myself and some others built the first OIF website, osho.org, but I have distanced myself from OIF, because it became too rigid and commercial in my opinion.
I started www.sannyas.net together with Sw. Mitra six years ago and three years ago I started a separate website, oz.sannyas.net, mainly for technical reasons.
At the same time I decided to set up an Osho bibliography. Many years ago I ran a public Osho library here in Perth and had a good English language library database, which helped to jumpstart the online bibliography. Furthermore, during Poona 2 I worked in the Osho Reference Library and on the CD-ROM text database (Silverplatter). I think that is where the seeds were really planted.
It’s not easy to find info about old or non-English editions, esp. since OIF has no interest in “historical” projects like this. They made it known to me on several occasions that they do not want Osho be seen as a historical figure and thus don’t want to make historical data available to the public. Although I agree that Osho was very much “eternal” and not restricted by his place in history, I still think that looking at his life over the years, and what he said at the time, helps greatly when reading his discourses. His style of speech and choice of topics changed over time and one can see quite distinct phases, which clearly relate to the events surrounding him at the respective times…
One of the main reasons why I started the bibliography is the fact that OIF is publishing fewer and fewer titles from Osho’s huge collection, someone new to Osho who walks into a bookshop these days must think that Osho only has about two dozen books to his credit. It seems to me that OIF is going for more turnover and profits and less completeness. There also seems to be a trend to only publish the nice and easy discourses, nothing controversial or political. So by listing all of his books, a new reader can then find out more about them and take steps to get hold of print copies in libraries or used book shops.” (Rudra. E-mails. 28.6.2001 & Feb 2014)

 

11. Osho International Foundation (OIF), Switzerland

Osho International Foundation was registered in Zürich, Switzerland on Nov 4, 1984 under the name of Rajneesh Foundation Europe (RF Europe). RFE was set up as a non-profit corporation by Rajneesh Foundation International (RFI, USA), the foundation that owned the Rajneeshpuram property. It was renamed to Neo-Sannyas International Foundation (NSIF, Europe). The exact date is unknown. This was a short lived name that was used from 1988 to 1990. On April 25, 1990, NSIF changed its name to Osho International Foundation. A year later in 1991 a new trust under the same name, Osho International Foundation, was incorporated in India.
After the closure of Rajneeshpuram in 1985, Osho transferred the publishing license back to the Rajneesh Foundation (RF India). He refused to transfer the license to Rajneesh Foundation, Europe. In turn, people in charge gave both foundations the same name for the first time – Neo-Sannyas International (Foundation) and finally Osho International Foundation. This allowed OIF later on to claim that Osho transferred his copyright to OIF, Switzerland, despite Osho’s intentions to keep the publishing license in India. On another note, Osho requested the reinstatement of Neo-Sannyas International already on Oct 1, 1985, but that wasn’t done until 1988 when it was advantageous.
Although not legally registered, Neo-Sannyas International was set up as a worldwide movement by Osho in the early seventies. To add to the confusion, Neo-Sannyas International was also a corporation already set up in New York in the early seventies.
And further, Osho International, Ireland (OI) has been registered in Dublin 05.04.2012.
OIF Zürich currently has five active members:
– Michael Byrne (Sw Anand Jayesh). President
– John Andrews (Sw Prem Amrito). Vicepresident
– Rudolf Kocher
– D’Arcy O’Byrne (Sw Anand Yogendra)
– Klaus Steeg (Sw Anand Pramod)

12. The OIF logo

The swan logo came into use in late 1989 but was not used much in an official way, retiring possibly as early as 1990. It is not known to have been used on any books, and even the high-profile White Swan Brotherhood’s existence was short-lived, becoming the White Robe Brotherhood on October 1, 1989, exactly the date of RTI’s last issue, (with cover story of the White Swan Brotherhood but logo still the last grasp of the Ranch-era two birds). Osho did wear this Swan image on the shoulders of his robes, but only a few times. An original painting by Ma Prem Prartho, upon which the swan logo was based, appeared as an endpaper in No Mind, published in September 1989. No more image-based logos were created after the swan, though Rebel’s flames continued to be used for another twenty years or so.
‘Font-based logo’ refers to the highly stylized form of Osho’s name (OSHO) adopted for ‘branding’ him. The all-caps format is used just about everywhere his name is used, except sometimes in paragraph text, and with ‘trademark’ and ‘copyright’ usually not far away. And much of the time, there is a specific font family being used, variations of Futura font. (Amended from www.sannyas.wiki)

 

13. Osho Heritage Trust (OHT)

Osho Heritage Trust has by now ceased to exist, but its aim and statements are reproduced here as an inspiration to others. To our knowing, Ma Deva Anando was the leading legal hand behind these statements.

“AIMS:
To collect, preserve, and make available the body of work of the mystic Osho in its pure undiluted form for future generations, so that he can continue to do his work.
This means:
The Trust is not an Osho organization or any kind of religious or spiritual entity, it is simply a caretaker of original Osho material;
The collection of the Trust, including any part of it, will never be sold or divided;
The Trust does not, and will never, claim to be any Osho authority;
The Trust will never point the work of Osho in any direction, or interpret it in any way;
The Trust will never use the work of Osho as a teaching, or to give guidance of any sort, or to proselytize in any way;
The Trust will never edit or censor the work of Osho in any way;
The Trust and its Trustees do not claim to have any special knowledge or understanding of Osho and his truth;
The Trust and its Trustees do not, and will never, state or even claim to understand what is Osho’s message or vision – that is left to Osho himself.

STATEMENT FROM THE FOUNDERS:
We, the founding trustees, are aware of the inevitability that different people or groups have arisen, and will arise in the future, presenting their own interpretation of Osho’s vision.
We want to be clear that we are giving no interpretation of his vision, and making no evaluation of his body of work, or differentiation between different periods of his work.
We also want to make clear that we are not forming any religious or spiritual entity. Our sole aim is to preserve and make Osho’s work available.
To that end, we are neither for nor against any Osho group.
In our understanding, Osho spoke in a contradictory way specifically to avoid any of his words becoming the basis of a fixed truth or belief. For that reason we will never use our own minds to select any specific quotation from Osho to support or deny any viewpoint.
It is up to every individual to find his or her own truth through their own direct experience arising from their own connection to Osho and his vision.
In addition to preserving the body of work which enshrines Osho’s vision, we are also honoured to preserve material things connected to his physical presence, as a reminder of the grace and elegance of his unique embodiment of enlightenment which can serve as an inspiration to us all.
We are not, however, creating a museum or any holy shrine. We are well aware that Osho wanted neither.
We are also not declaring a full stop to Osho’s work. Osho is timeless and his work continues as an ongoing movement of energy, touching and provoking people in many different ways. It is not limited to his physical body.
Osho’s work is a continuous change and renewal – and such change has always been an intrinsic part of the movement / physical entities he created around him. We acknowledge that ongoing evolvement, and want to provide a space for it to continue.” (End of quoted document)

The founders of Osho Heritage Trust have now ceased their activities around 2015 and Osho Zeenat Foundation located in Boulder, USA, is continuing their undertaking of providing a collection of Osho’s work. (Zeenat: Beauty, gorgeous)

*Bhikkhu, New Earth Records, Boulder, writes

“The Osho Heritage Trust was re-named into Osho Zeenat Foundation and Anando is no longer a member since she moved over to Australia. The plans are to make this eventually a home for Waduda’s collection of Osho related materials. These include a pretty complete English book library, a video library and an audio library and other personal objects from Osho. We do not plan to move anymore from here…
OHT has been changed into Osho Zeenat non profit many years ago. It is a registered US non profit and has an active standing. Its dedication is to spread the meditations, work and silence of Osho and to collect the body of his teaching in the form of audio, video, books and related items…
For 2021 we envision to bring the Osho Zeenat website finally to its birth. Waduda is in charge of Osho Zeenat and we will start scanning a lot of Osho materials we have collected here, to share it with more people. These are news articles, sannyas magazines and all sorts of things. This year we already scanned over 10,000 photos from 35mm negatives black and white. We are also talking to Sarjano to acquire the photo rights to his photos of Osho. We still have to archive here private material from Vivek and other sources.” (Bhikkhu. E-mails. 28.12.2016, 31.01.2019, 12.11.2020)
Their website is still under construction. Limited access only.

* Ma Yoga Neelam, Osho’s Hindi secretary for many years, writes in 1999 & 2000:
Letter to sannyasin friends. 11.03.1999. Excerpts:
“Beloved friends, Today I woke up in the morning with a feeling to share with you all what has been happening with me for the last few weeks. As you already know I decided to resign as a member of the inner circle, from my work in the front office and decided to move out from the space in Lao-Tzu house. I am nearly fifty years old and going through a major hormonal change in my body. I decided to have a total change from the life-style I have been living for the last 17 years in the commune…
A few days ago I felt I have to do something to clarify the situation. I signed a statement for the media. I had a meeting with the members of the inner circle which ended in teas, hugs and harmony…”

Open letter to Jayesh, Amrito and Anando – around 11^th July 2000. Excerpts:
“… In one of the press interviews I have called you ‘three dictators’ and I mean it. I am referring to the arrogance, disrespect and dishonesty displayed by you three over these years.
Osho himself chose 21 members of the inner circle who could contribute in the administrative work and who had different areas of expertise. This was the ‘decision making committee’. The members of the inner circle were for life, only to be replaced after death.
Osho left his body in Jan 90. I remember that sometimes the inner circle meetings would take a long time to come to a decision because we were all so different. And I also remember how your behaviour changed. In the name of Osho’s guidance you three started dictating your decisions asking other members opinion simply how to implement them. When some of the members started raising their voice against it you started undermining their work, highlighting their weak points to humiliate them. As a result after one year members of the inner circle started leaving. The reasons given: “There is a certain hierarchy within the inner circle. We have suffered humiliation, disrespect and the subtle annihilation of our work. Jayesh and Amrito do not have our trust. We are often mistrustful of the interpretation of what Osho reportedly said in private and the policies created out of that”.
Now 15 members out of 21 have been replaced. It’s no longer Osho’s inner circle nor it’s functioning as a “policy making body”. Osho had chosen the members in such a way that multidimensional growth of his work and the commune could happen. You have undermined His insight by undermining the members He chose. The result is one dimensional growth of His work. His commune which was a place for transformation, a seeker’s paradise, is turned into merely a short term visitor’s paradise. Osho’s vision is not beautiful buildings and modern structures only. His vision is his people also on whom he has been working for so many years. It’s sad to see that his people are sidelined, ignored and not listened to. The policies and rules are such that long time sannyasins do not feel welcomed anymore. The quality and the depth in the energy field is missing. If you would have loved and trusted the other members whom Osho chose and would have respected and supported their contribution in the work, the commune would have flourished in a multidimensional way, “Our beloved Osho’s way.”

 

15. Osho’s Alleged Will

“Osho’s Signature On Allerged ’Will’ is a Forgery
The sudden appearance of a ‘will’ by Osho executed on 15 October (3 months prior to his leaving the body), has been widely published in the media several months ago.
A few friends have been investigating the claim made by Niren in the EU Trademark case, where he presented this ‘will’ allegedly signed by Osho and witnessed by Jayesh, Amrito and Niren.
The investigation showed that the ‘Osho signature’ was actually copied from a letter handwritten by Osho in 1976 that he had previously published on at least three websites in different contexts.
Three independent experts – one from Bologna, Italy, and two from India, Aurangabad and New Delhi – have all concluded that the signature on the ‘will’ is the same signature as the one on the letter, and that it is impossible for two signatures to be the same. As a result, the experts say with 100% certainty that the alleged ‘will’ is a forgery.
Criminal charges have been filed in India on 18 November 2013 by Yogesh Thakkar aka Prem Geet on behalf of Osho Friends Foundation, Pune. All members of Osho International Foundation Zürich – Michael Byrne (aka Michael O’Byrne, aka Jayesh), John Andrews (aka Amrito), D’Arcy O’Byrne (aka Yogendra, aka Raj), Klaus Steeg (aka Pramod) and Mukesh Kantilal Sarda (aka Mukesh Bharti) – along with Philip Toelkes (aka Niren)[not in OIF] are accused in producing a forged ‘will’ by Osho.
The Office of Harmonization in the EU has been informed of the evidence of forgery.” (www.oshonews.com 13.12.2013)

The text of the will dated 16 June, 1989, running into five paragraphs states as follows:
“RECITAL: “In 1975, 1978 and 1981, I executed assignments concerning my work. Also, in 1981, I executed a broad power of attorney will the stated intention to divest myself of all worldly property, and also an amendment in 1982, with the result that all such property is now owned by Neo Sannyas International Foundation, a Swiss charitable entity. To be completely certain that all such property interests are so divested, I make this Last Will and Testament.
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT: Being of sound mind, and acting of my free will, I make this Last Will and Testament.
I, Osho, birth name Chandra Mohan Jain, formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, hereby devise and bequest any and all right, title or interest of any nature in any and all property of any nature and in any form, owned by me, now or in the future, including but not limited to, all ownership, publishing or related rights, to all my work, published to date or in the future, in any form, to Neo Sannyas International Foundation.
If for any reason that entity cannot or does not accept this bequest then the alternative beneficiary shall be a non-profit, charitable entity dedicated to the dissemination of my work, such entity to be designated by my executor.
EXECUTOR: I name as my executor Sw. Anand Jayesh, aka Michael O’Byrne.
Executed this 15^th day of October, 1989, at Poona, India. Osho.”

17. ‘In the Eye of the Hurricane’ Devakant writes on events at the ashram in Pune

“By this time, about one year after Osho’s departure from his body, signs were arising of changes in the ashram. Positions of power were starting to solidify, messages of ‘Osho’s guidance’ were being handed down from ‘above’, apparently from The Inner Circle. This governing body of 21 people whom Osho had specifically chosen to act as the administration of the ashram and his work after his demise was now having growing rumors of friction amongst the members. They were a very diverse group of strong individuals, and word spread about power blocks and divisions forming. Jayesh was now the chairman of the Inner Circle. There apparently was a struggle going on within the Inner Circle, although it was never openly talked about; and those who were against the directions and wishes of Jayesh were not-so-subtly pressured to leave. Among those were Kaveesha, Prasad, and Hasya, who had been Osho’s secretary in the tumultuous post-Sheela Ranch days. Although the membership of the Inner Circle had been intended by the Master to be for life, some members left, some died, others took their places; notably one of which was Jayesh’s brother – notable because it seemed the reason he was there in that position of power was because he was Jayesh’s brother, not because of any inherent merit or understanding of Osho’s vision on his part. “Sounds like a corporate decision made in Sicily”, I thought. A smaller subdivision of a governing body was formed, called the ‘Presidium’, which was 3 or 5 people, we never were told how many. They would make a lot of decisions, and then bring them to the larger group for approval. It’s easy to envision what was starting to happen; namely, rubber-stamping, a dis-equilibrium of power was forming, heavily weighed on the side of Jayesh, and those who agreed with him, with tacit agreement from the other members.
As time would go by, as managerial power over the physical ashram became consolidated in fewer and fewer hands, the ashram would reflect more and more the particular predilections of the few who now held power; i.e. less and less emphasis on devotion, no Osho pictures in the ashram itself, no wearing of malas, the marble podium where Osho sat and gave discourse for 14 years destroyed [a new marble podium in a pagoda-shaped structure had in fact been made in early 1987] and dismantled one night, no songs of devotion to the Master allowed to be sung, etc. These are ‘personal’ choices, that is reflecting those personalities, and is not particularly the Master’s directive; Osho’s guidance gave freedom and leeway for each person to relate to the Master in his own unique way. That was the beauty of it all while the Master was here, a garden of wildflowers, each growing in the sunlight, not a monoculture of roses or tulips. Some connect to the Master’s energy through devotion, the heart, a flower-strewn path through a lush garden, like Sufi poets. Some prefer the simple, pristine clarity of Zen, and some prefer the dry austerity of a rocky path straight to the mountaintop under the burning sun, like Jaina monks. Each human on the inward journey has his or her own predilections, and the right to express their Union with the Divine in their own unique way. Osho gave space and freedom to that, he did not force anyone into a certain mindset.”
(Devakant 2019, pp. 372-74)

20. Finally it will be appropriate with a general reference to www.sannyas.wiki and the mountain of information and source documents presented on this sister-website to Osho Source Book. Just a few are mentioned here in edited format, only to indicate the range of sources available and encourage you to explore the site yourself.

– 9000 Osho Event pages. Yearly Timelines of Osho’s Work: (1931) 1964 – 1990.

Listed events: written texts, letters, discourses, interviews, darshans, meditation, camps, silent meetings.
These pages show more than 3,000 Hindi discourses, about 3,156 English discourses, and more than 2,000 Satsangs and Darshans, recorded between 1964 and 1990. They happened in more than 100 locations in India and around the world. Most Hindi recordings have yet to be translated. Besides every topic under the sun, Osho talks about more than 600 people.
The individual event-pages show all that is known about the event: availability of audio and video, links to publications, and a synopsis. They can be accessed from the timelines, but also from the tables of contents on the book-pages:
Hindi Events – English Events – Events with Audio – Events with Video – Silent Events. See also: Osho’s Bibliography – Meditation Camps – Recording Osho’s discourses on audio and video – Hindi titles with incomplete info – English titles with incomplete info.

– Tables of contents for English books

There are now proper tables of contents for all the www.sannyas.wiki/index.php?title=Category:First_Edition_Series English first editions and also the www.sannyas.wiki/index.php?title=Category:Translated_First_Editions translations from Hindi to English. The Table of Contents shows the names of the chapters, and also exactly when and where Osho was speaking, the duration and available media for each book.
– Hindi books and audio sorted
The Wiki-team has been working for years to sort out the often confusing relationships between Osho’s Hindi words in different books and different versions of audio. Many of the titles turned out to be confused, misplaced, collected in different series etcetera. We believe we have been able to clear up a lot of the mist… and are still working on it.
– Osho’s letters and manuscripts
This is the list of all personal letters and notes, handwritten by Osho, between 1956 and 1971 as known by this Wiki. There are almost 500. These are mostly in Hindi, and a few in English.
– The table below gives a systematic overview and links to more info:
– For a description and an image of the manuscript, please follow the links under “manuscript”
Quite a lot of these letters have been written:
– to Ma Anandmayee, summarized on Letters to Anandmayee , and
– to Ma Yoga Sohan, summarized on Letters to Sohan and Manik

– Testimonial letters
The page is the central (‘master’) page for an amazing collection of letters from people all over the world attesting to Osho’s superlative qualities as a religious teacher. Over 2700 letters were sent or forwarded to the INS from all over the world. An impressive number of them were from non-sannyasins, writing in their professional capacities as academics or even officials of nominally ‘competing’ religions, from Catholic theologians to Zen teachers. The letters were used to help with Osho’s attempt to get permanent resident status in the US at the time of the ranch in Oregon.
