IF YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND OSHO AND HIS TEACHINGS, YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND ANYONE EVER
WHAT THE HELL IS WRITTEN ABOUT OSHO SHOWS NOTHING BUT YOUR THIRD RATE YELLOW JOURNALISM
YOU WILL HAVE TO STUDY AND DO A LOT OF HOMEWORK BEFORE COMMENTING ABOUT OSHO
I KNOW, YOU ARE CARRIED AWAY BY WILD WILD COUNTRY
YOU ARE AMONG CROWDS
USE YOUR OWN BRAIN
RESEARCH YOURSELF, STUDY YOURSELF
DON’T REPEAT LIKE DUMB WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
While makers of the Netflix show Wild Wild Country focus on the controversies around Osho, ardent follower Sangita Kathiwada speaks about what they missed
Imagine making a six-hour documentary on an experiment based on Einstein’s approach to the outer cosmology with barely a mention of the context: his theory of relativity. That is what the Netflix docuseries Wild Wild Country did: it made a six-hour program about an experiment based on Osho’s approach to the inner and outer cosmology with barely a mention of the context: Osho’s vision of a new world populated by the new man.
There’s a lot that Osho did for the larger good of humanity that the series seems to have completely ignored. His philosophy extended to the betterment of mankind both in terms of the outer environment and the inner being. The biggest benefit of the Osho communes, which spread to all walks of life, is meditation. His followers in Pune and Oregon begin and end their day with meditation, and spend many a quiet hour in between connecting with a higher plane of consciousness. However, it is not all quiet contemplation. Dynamic meditation, as preached by Osho, can find you screaming, shouting, jumping, etc., to release pent up emotion, thereby acting as a tool for anger management. The devotees express themselves in a safe, soundproof auditorium first thing in the morning to begin the day by releasing troubling emotions, creating a more positive outlook for the rest of their day.
It’s not just emotional betterment that one looks at but also cerebral improvement. Himself an artist whose abstract paintings and sketches have found their way to galleries, Osho ensured that his disciples too learned a creative art. A wide range of workshops take place on a daily basis at the ashram even now – from art and pottery classes to tai chi and dance. Among those who benefited from this philosophy are the likes of Vishal Bharadwaj and AR Rahman.
Osho believed in improving the aesthetic of one’s environment. It was following this principle that a dirty, fetid nala (gutter) and its surroundings in Pune were transformed into an Osho garden. In Oregon too, acres of barren land were converted into the ashram.
Decades before sustainable living became a trend, members of the Osho ashram were living an organic lifestyle within the commune. Osho did not go around doing charity, but his teachings aimed at responsible citizens, who would respect their fellow human beings and environment.
Wild Wild Country focuses on the controversial free love aspect of Osho’s teachings and the people of the nearby town of Antelope, and the scandal surrounding his right-hand woman Ma Anand Sheela. It was a series of five talks (out of a total of more than 5,000) in Mumbai almost 50 years ago for which Osho was rewarded with the demeaning epithet ‘sex-guru’. Perhaps, one should look at the other side of the story.
The Indian guru system since 100 years is more sinful and worst . They compelled and wash brains of innocent to follow their illicit and immoral life.
Alike Ram Rahim Asharam , One Abhoycharan of Iskcon who established one manupulate religion infront of the deity.
They are mastermind of illegel activities and R quashed ules of Govt and our moral wisdom which Raja Ram mohan Roy , Rabindranath tagore , Iswarchandra vidyasagar tirelessly established.
If any person or so called Guru commits suicide that means he is not even can be considered as a teacher. A real Guru is a self realized person who can change any no of persons wants to do suicide to solve their temporary life problems.
The writer has done some good research. You should also look at companies like Pure Cure Ayurveda @purecureandco who are taking an interesting approach to Ayurveda.
Bhayyuji Maharaj was not a Spiritual Guru or Sanyasi. He called himself as a Grahasthi.
Phony people make phony gurus. Such gurus are not followed by disciples, they (gurus) truly follow their disciples.
How can you judge the status of the guru by his followers?
He remarried after the death of his first wife for his own pleasures and just to protect his phony image he declared that he was doing so just for serving his ailing mother and helping his young daughter and that too at the behest of his elder sister who treated him like a mother. Did he ask for the permission of his mother and sister before leaving his body forcibly?
He who had gone to Marthwada to prevent the suicides of poor farmers, how come he himself committed suicide despite being so rich?
A guru of politicians is bound to die a politician’s death.
People should think thrice before they follow and spoil somebody.
What a juvenile article. Ouch. Rehashed from other news stories with a smidgen of analysis. Understand and research what the problem is before bashing out an article like this. Utterly superficial
If a Guru cannot handle its own stress ow a common man can think of leaning something from such Guru, and why trying finding a point of Guru’s stress. Was he really a “real Guru”?
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve often wondered about how little focus is on the care-giver in stressful situations. They are relegated and ignored, not consciously, but just given the situation, in spite of being equally vulnerable.
This author didn’t google “yoga stress” it seems!

Yes, absolutely true!
Besides that what they have written about osho also shows their 3rd rate journalism
Precisely the point. Gurus are human too.
If a Guru cannot handle its own stress ow a common man can think of leaning something from such Guru, and why trying finding a point of Guru’s stress. Was he really a “real Guru”?
