Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind, it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops, meditation happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond the mind Osho on meditation

A week dedicated to this secular mystic poet Kabir will pay homage to His devotion and wisdom with the release of a set of audiotapes of Osho discourses on Kabir entitled The Divine Melody and an Osho book, The Revolution.

Participants in the Osho Commune International wear maroon most of the time, because that is what Osho wanted. For evening meditation they wear white, because Osho wanted it that way.

India holds a special place in the heart of Osho. He says, "India is not just geography or history. It is not only a nation, a country, a mere piece of land. It is something more: it is a metaphor, poetry, something invisible but very tangible. It is vibrating with...

Mulla Nasrudin, the laughing Sufi mystic popularized by Osho in his discourses celebrated Osho World's second birthday - no, Mirthday! - in a rip-roarious manner on April Fools Day renamed as Mulla Nasrudin Day.

"Osho left his body on 19 Janaury, 1990. His disciples celebrate this day as Osho Mahotsav all over the world. Often people ask Osho disciples: "Why do you celebrate death?"

Should birthdays be celebrated? Should death anniversaries be observed? While the answer may seem obvious to most people, the "management team" at the Osho Commune International has begged to differ: It has decided against celebrating anniversaries associated with their master's life.

The other day a young girl got initiated into sannyas. It is surprising that so many young people are interested in spirituality these days. But what was really unique about this girl is that she decided to choose her new name herself: Prem Sakshi. It was her conscious decision to...

Music comes closest to meditation. Music is a way towards meditation and the most beautiful way. Meditation is the art of hearing the soundless sound, the art of hearing the music of silence - what the Zen people call the sound of one hand clapping. When you are utterly silent,...

The waiving of restrictive copyright on the works of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore will set them free for the entire world to appreciate the heritage of this mystic poet who is India's only Nobel Laureate in literature. In the same vein, like the message of all Buddhas. Osho's works need to...

The beginning of a new year, seriously, is a laughing matter. It is indeed a laughing matter because in the realms of time there's no beginning and no end. Life exists in the timeless dimension of the eternal now. This is something to be meditated upon, laughed about, which is...

Born in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, India on December 11, 1931, Osho says of his parents, "I had chosen this couple for their love, their intimacy, their almost one-ness."

A disciple asked Osho, ‘‘What is the best government?’’ Osho or Bhagwan Rajneesh replied, ‘‘No government. The very idea of somebody governing somebody else is inhuman.

It's a spiritual supermarket and the west is buying in heavily. Molshree vaid takes a walk on the esoteric side of town. KOREGAON park reeks of spirituality. There’s even a California Healing Arts centre advertised here.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is very significant for all of us, as it can function as a reminder that we need to bring light into our life. Though there are historical reasons to celebrate Diwali- to remember Lord Rama's victory and celebrate with lighting the lamps and enjoying the...

“They’re selling my guru.” Ma Yog Neelam on the conspiracy to commercialise Osho -Dharminder Kumar

Don't search for any light outside. The last words of Buddha were 'Be a light unto yourself. Be a lamp unto yourself.' Don't search for light anywhere else; the light is already there, the fire is already there. Just probe a little deeper into your being, enquire. Maybe much ash...

"The grace and feminism in his looks yet the fieryness in his words impressed me instantly. Osho was a revolutionary," said Ma Yog Neelam recapitulating the moment when she met him for the first time in 1969 at Ludhiana.

"Can something that Osho has said be copyrighted at all? Can an individual, a firm, an institution and a foundation have right on these great messages both in the form as well as the content?'' asked Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar.

The wonderful message of Osho is that, we want a Buddha who is also an Einstein, said one of India's leading scientists, Dr. Vijay Bhatkar, at Osho World on 10 October.

A sannyasin from USA has sent me a lovely joke, which is a significant comment on the present situation in the US. This joke is a news item that no newspaper has published.

I met Osho in the early 1969 when I was just 20 years old. I was not interested in philosophy, religion or enlightenment. In fact I had never heard the word ‘meditation’. In those years, Osho used to travel around the country, giving discourses. He came to my hometown Ludhiana....

Osho's fascination with pyramids and all the esoteric concepts associated with them; his dream that a massive one be constructed right here in Pune, is now turning into a distinct reality.
