Beloved Giten,

May be my question is stupid, but I don't really understand what does it mean:
"Global Connections in Pune have removed the Osho Institute in Stockholm.."

Did GC destroy Institute physically or they just removed it from their LIST? Maybe GC paied people there before and now they stop payments?

Critisism was never tolerated even in Pune one. And no critical writings appeared in Osho publications.
No allowing critic in tghe Ashram is just asmall step more.
I ambound to remark that an organisation that can't stand a few crtics is on the way out.

Beloved Friends

This is an invitation to join in a project of gathering information which will be circulated to the other sannyasins on interesting & spicy things in Osho commune and around Osho world . You are invited to share your stories with us. Whatever is felt as authentic and honest will be welcomed .The intent is to gather stories from trustworthy individuals that bring light on otherwise 'dark' or ' not heard of' stories. Every sannyasins who desire to know what really happened after Osho left His body should have a chance to hear it from the people who know more 'details' about it.
and add also as 'story n. 1' :
I have seen on 'I leave you my dream' video , dr. Amrito reading , with tears in his eyes , what is supposed to be the last story or chapter of OSHO while in the body. Amrito said to Osho ,'we would like to keep your bedroom as it is'. I didn't hear Amrito saying that Osho has authorized him to use his bedroom which he did (just ask any cleaner in Lao Tzu even of years before , many knows it). OSHO was supporting us to doubt and think clearly, not to blindly believe in what we read in the newspaper. A question which always come to my mind in these years is ' Osho wanted to have marble all around the ashram, since it will help keep his enlightened vibrations for 2000 years grounded in the commune, than why at the last moment he is supposed to have asked for his bedroom to be remarbled ? ' . This event is SUSPICIOUSLY similar to the removal of the pagoda and vertical elements of the podium in the Buddha Hall. Did some of you thought about that ? Wait for what come next, we have many more hot stories from intelligent sannyasins out there.

Love to all

Hallo Dear ones,
Amazing thing is that people who are criticising the ashram authorities, don,t put the arrow of criticism against their own thinking. For a seeker it should be both ways.
People who run the ashram are far from perfect like everybody else. They have never claimed to be better than others but it doesn;t mean that for every single step they should take into consideration every body,s opinion, majority of working body,s opinion is many times good enough.
Few people are criticising from the day Mystic rose and No mind started being happening at Osho;s Samadhi.
Their sense of poetry is getting offended by this shouting and screeming. Their loving heart wants to sing good night songs for the dear, departed one.
On the contrary, to do these meditations there, is a sense of gratitude towards the master, He is working on us,this kind of feeling one gets their, Master Surgen;s Samadhi is avaialable and is being used for the very right purpose.
The Anti managemnetlobby wants to have Gautam Buddha,s Vipassana there but not those meditations exclusively given by their own master!
I feel inspite of everything Ashram authorities should always remain open for anykind of criticism and suggestions,inspirations of fellow Sannaysins,but it doesnot mean everybody should start shouting on them every where, any time.
Love to all the Sannyasins, Catholics or protestents or simply His ones.
shantam

I am not a Sannyasin if fact I don't consider myself an 'anything'. I didn't find Osho - Osho found me in a second hand book store. One would have to very unintelligent not to realise that Osho's teachings are absolute truth - no padding - no syrup - your own spirit identfies with it immediately - transformation becomes possible.
What I find curious and a little incongruous with his teachings is the way those who also fully subscribe to his teachings appear to be overcome with worship of the man rather than what he came to say. Just like every one of his followers, I too have a deep love for Osho that brings tears to my eyes because of how he lived and every wonderful thing he said. BUT, in his words, this is an individual rebellion. How communes are run is a triviality in comparison. What do you expect to gain from a mere externalisation of what is actually dwelling within you? How many times does Osho have to say 'just do it - be'? Forget trying to feel comfortable by identifying with a set group and being a 'something'. Osho is the best master an individual can have - he's left enough inspired material to serve several lifetimes and I am certain he is also there to guide in spirit. Meet yourself 'alone' - be accountable for yourself and forget about what others are doing. By all means enjoy the fellowship of being with likeminded people - but don't follow and don't expect anything except from yourself. Let the master Osho assist you in revealing your own mastery.

Remember Osho merely verbalised the knowledge that lies within everyone (and what an incredible job he did!)Enlightenment is a solo mission - unlike the traditional religions, we don't need rituals and places of worship. Learn his techniques then live it. To my mind, that's the best an individual can do.

Love to you all.
