About Osho

Osho was born on December 11, 1931 in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, India, as eldest of eleven children.
From his earliest childhood he was a rebellious and independent spirit, insisting on experiencing the truth for himself rather then acquiring knowledge and beliefs given by others.

After his enlightenment at the age of twenty-one, Osho completed his academic studies and spent several years teaching philosophy at the University of Jabalpur. He read extensively, everything he could find to broaden his understanding of the belief systems and psychology of contemporary man.

By the late 1960s Osho begun to develop his unique Dynamic Meditation techniques. Modern man, he says, is so burdened with the outmoded traditions of the past and the anxieties of modern-day living that he must go through a deep cleansing process before he can hope to discover the thought-less, relaxed state of meditation.

He belongs to no tradition - "I am the beginning of a totally new religious consciousness," he says. "Please don't connect me with the past - it is not even worth remembering."

His talks to disciples and seekers from all over the world have been published in more than six hundred volumes, and translated into over thirty languages. And he says, "My message is not a doctrine, not a philosophy. My message is a certain alchemy, a science of transformation, so only those who are willing to die as they are and be born again into something so new that they cannot even imagine it right now... only those few courageous people will be ready to listen, because listening is going to be risky.

"Listening, you have taken the first step toward being reborn. So it is not a philosophy that you can make an overcoat of and go bragging about. It is not a doctrine where you can find consolation for harassing questions. No, my message is not some verbal communication. It is far more risky. It is nothing less then death and rebirth."

Osho left his body on January 19, 1990. His huge commune in India continues to be the largest spiritual growth center in the world attracting thousands of international visitors who come to participate in its meditation, therapy, bodywork and creative programs, or just to experience being in a buddhafield.

I Leave You My Dream

 

So remember when I am gone you are not going to loose anything. Perhaps you may gain something of which you are absolutely unaware. When I am gone where can I go? I will be here, in the winds, in the ocean; and if you have loved me, if you have trusted me, you will feel me in a thousand and one ways, in your silent moments, suddenly u will feel my presence.
Once I am unembodied my consciousness is universal. Then you need not seek and search for me. Wherever you are, your thirst, your love.. and you will find me in your very heart, in your very heartbeats. (Beyond Enlightenment)

Don't be afraid, worried that if I am gone that what will happen to my words. I will not be gone before I have sown the seeds in you of those words. The day I go your responsibility becomes greater to live, to live me, to become me. My leaving the body will be a challenge for you, that now that I have left one body I can be in all of your bodies. And I am absolutely certain, utterly happy that I have got the right people who are going to be my books, my temples, my synagogues. It all depends on you... because who is going to spread me all over the world.
