It was a misery that the greatest blessing that existence showered on me came very late in life – the love and dedication to a real Master of Masters: Osho. And by the time I matured enough to fully comprehend his divinity, his benevolence, his Godliness, the Beloved left this body and this planet, leaving me utterly helpless, anguished, with lacerated heart, totally helpless and stunned. Osho needs no minstrel to sing his praises, but in what way can may gratitude for what he gives can be shared? Through these essays it is attempted to share my joy, my wonder, my happiness with all those who are open to Osho. It is indeed the act of worship of one who is physically handicapped, but deeply immersed in the love of the great Master, who shares the happiness and bliss experienced in the company of Osho.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Osho .
Osho was born in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, on 11 December 1931. Rebellious and independent from childhood, he insisted on experiencing the truth for himself rather than acquiring knowledge and beliefs given by others. He attained 'enlightenment' at 21 and went on to complete his academic studies. He spent several years teaching philosophy at the University of Jabalpur. Meanwhile, he travelled throughout India delivering talks and meeting people from all walks of life. By the 1960s, Osho had begun to develop his unique dynamic meditation techniques. He felt that modern man is so burdened with the archaic traditions of the past as well as 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. In the early 1970s, the West first began to hear of Osho. By 1974, a commune had been established around him in Pune, and the trickle of visitors from the West soon became a flood. Osho spoke of every aspect of life and on the development of human consciousness. Based on his own existential experience rather than on intellectual understanding, he distilled the essence of what is significant to the spiritual quest of contemporary man. Osho left his body on 19 January 1990. His commune in India continues to attract thousands of international visitors who come to participate in its meditation, therapy and creative programmes or to simply experience being in a 'Buddhafield'. Osho's talks have been published in more than 600 volumes and translated into over thirty languages.
