Dear egodust-ji !

Among all the posts , your post caught my attention.


Not only because of its Unique contents but also because only a man
of expanded consciousness can recognize the contributions of Sage
like Shri Ramana Maharishi and also pay tribute to a controversial (
persona non grata)Shri Rajneesh Bhagwan ( or OSHO)in the same breath.

Yes- Osho was a man of vision but unfortunately the 'total' freedom
that he advocated became his own undoing. and the recent arrest of
Kanchi Acharya clearly demonstrates that even Holy men
become 'victims' of UNHOLY politics. and Osho was 'unholy' ( by hindu
standards) in his 'holiness' ! Osho was totally 'baul-like' in his
attitude and respected individuality and did not care for 'norms'
or 'rules' of society!Almost, a modern day 'Dattareya' , FREE from
the bondages of 'ego' - for him, " Love should set one free and not
bind' - and by love, he did not mean the small love between a man and
a woman , but LOVE as reprsenting 'oneness' of soul to soul! This is
AFFIRMATION OF LIFE NOT NEGATION.


it is strange you should mention the 'book of secrets' by Osho- THE
vigyana Bhairva tantra - NEXT TO RUDRA YAMALA TANTRA , it is
considered the most sacred literature among the tantriks.

on a more humorous note, this' book of secrets ' was presented to
President Clinton during his white house years to instruct him on how
to transcend from the 'mundane' to the sublime through meditational
techniques! smiles!

love and regrads
