DESCRIPTION:
A prolific author of some respectable and even insightful books, he refused to pen an autobiography for his myriad disciples. Like the best Zen master, Osho forces us to reconsider our conventions. By the age of 7, he was uncontrollable, and at 21, he had a prolonged enlightenment experience. Osho, better known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, became infamous for his posh lifestyle and outrageous teachings. in philosophy brought him to the role of professor, but he outgrew it with his talks on meditation that gradually became more radical, until he was known in India as the sex guru. Controversy erupted, and the man who called himself Zorba the Buddha became persona non grata the world over. Ousted from India, he sought to create the perfect and most free community, choosing a remote corner of the U.S. To read about this unorthodox teacher in his own words is certainly entertainin
Who was this man, known as the Sex Guru, the "self-appointed bhagwan" (Rajneesh), the Rolls-Royce Guru, the Rich Man's Guru, and simply the Master? Drawn from nearly five thousand hours of Osho's recorded talks, this is the story of his youth and education, his life as a professor of philosophy and years of travel teaching the importance of meditation, and the true legacy he sought to leave behind: a religionless religion centered on individual awareness and responsibility and the teaching of "Zorba the Buddha," a celebration of the whole human being.. An indispensable work for understanding the life and teachings of one of the most unusual mystics and philosophers of our time. Ten years have past since, in the words of his attending physician, Osho prepared for his departure from the body that had served him for fifty-nine years "as calmly as though he were packing for a weekend in the country." This volume is recognition that the time has come to provide a historical and biographical context for understanding Osho and hi
A glimpse into the life of a great teacher Stan Gibilisco I have read several of Osho's works. As a mathematician, I find his logic entertaining if not always rigorous. His outlook on the world, and on life, is uplifting.I discovered Osho when I was "escaping" to Kona, Hawaii, fearing a utility grid collapse on the mainland over the Y2K transition. (Was it Mark Twain who said that life consists of a series of catastrophes, 95 percent of which never happen?) There was a wonderful little book store in Kona called "Middle Earth." I bought their Osho stock out!Reading Osho's. Bernd Phoenix said Osho's words are a meditation in itself!. Already in the preface one can find these amazing words: "Ordinary history takes care about the facts - what actually happens in the world of matter, the incidents. It does not take care about the truth because truth does not happen in the world of matter, it happens in the world of consciousness." His words are just straight to the point of truth, they ring with it and leave a meditative silence behind. I loved the section about his childhood in that beautifull Indian Village and the quietness it created in him. . "A Unique Autobiography of a Unique Master of the Millenium!" according to Kris Bhattarai. Of Indian mystics, after Paramhansa Yoganand's Autobiography ofa Yogi, Osho's autobiography stands apart from the convention. Theuniquness of this book is that it is not written by Osho. It is TALKEDby Osho to his intimate pupils and is recorded by them thereafter. And therefore, it provides a freshness in the story. The book reveals many secrets of the life of Osho which I have not found in any of his books. It also details the biblical situation of Osho's birth, his association with other enlightrened masters wh
