This was the job of people who want to kill Osho and destroy commune. If Osho was involved in the bioterror attack, why he was not sentenced by court for this crime ? 3 million people died from starvation and malnutrition during a famine in the Indian province of Bengal in 1943. It was a man made holocaust by Britishers. Hitler Killed people in less cruel way.

@Lai This was the claim made by the @Fidelio about Indians. I asked him to provide source of information. Now do you want to me to proof of my Indian residence , instead of proof of @Fidelio's derogatory claim about India ? Burden of proof lies on @Fidelio

Whatsoever your life is, death reveals only that. If you have been miserable in life, death reveals misery. Death is a great revealer. If you have been happy in your life, death reveals happiness.

We need masters and teachers but a master has not to be imitated but understood. If you copy a Jesus, memorize his teachings, pray like him - you will not become a Jesus, by imitating you can become a Christian but not a Christ.

There are people who are ready to become mentor. Finding a real master is very difficult. A false master is a consolation, he gives you peace as you are, he never bothers to change you -- he is a tranquilizer. You come to him and he consoles. Even if a real master consoles you, that consolation is just like a fishing net. You will be caught in the consolation and then, by and by, he will create the chaos. You have to pass through the chaos, because as you are you are absolutely wrong.

@Afonso If you want road-maps you will have to go to the churches and to the priests - they have. Buddha's last message to his disciples was "App Deepo Bhava", meaning "be a light unto yourself". Do not follow others, do not imitate, because imitation, following, creates stupidity. You are born with a tremendous possibility of intelligence. You are born with a light within you. Listen to the still, small voice within, and that will guide you. Nobody else can guide you, nobody else can become a model for your life, because you are unique. Nobody has there been ever who was exactly like you, and nobody is ever going to be there again who will be exactly like you. The real master creates masters, not followers. The real master throws you back to yourself. His whole effort is to make you independent of him, because you have been dependent for centuries, and it has not led you anywhere. You still continue to stumble in the dark night of the soul. A Buddha has not to be followed but understood. A Buddha has not to be imitated but listened to -- listened to in tremendous silence, love, trust. And the more you understand a Buddha, the more you will feel he is speaking not from the outside but from within, from the very core of your being. He is a mirror who reflects your original face -- but he is only a mirror. All great masters are mirrors, they reflect your original face. But don't cling to the mirror. The mirror is not your face!

For thousands of years man has been living the way he has wanted to, and he has simply forced the next generation to live in his way. We have to take a quantum leap and teach the new generation not to live the way we have lived. Only then can the future be changed.

He was delusioned, he need help. Nobody was taking him seriously.

He was recruiting only 12 persons (apostles), as he claimed that he was incarnation Jesus. He promised them they will become billionaires, because old temptation of 'Kingdom of heaven' will not work now. He should not be taken seriously.

There are two types of religions in the world: prayer-oriented religions and meditation-oriented religions. Christianity is a prayer-oriented religion. Prayer and meditation are absolute contraries: prayer moves outwards. Prayer is addressed to a God. Meditation moves inwards. Christianity is an extrovert religion. The emphasis is on serving people - love, compassion. The emphasis is not on meditation. The extrovert religion prays to God; the introvert religion meditates. Prayer is extrovert; it is addressed to God. Meditation is reaching to one’s own being. Love is an effort to reach to the other’s being. There are religions which say that if you meditate, you cannot love. There are religions which say that if you love, how can you meditate? If you meditate, that looks selfish. When the world is in such a misery, people are hungry, ill, dying, and you are meditating – the whole thing looks to be too cruel. Somebody is dying on the road, a beggar, and you are sitting in your temple and meditating. It looks selfish. ’Throw this meditation away,’ says the extrovert religion. ’Go and help people – that is the only way to reach God. A healthy person is one who when he wants to move in, he moves. There is no hindrance. He has no compulsion to be an extrovert. And vice versa. If you are compulsively an introvert – whenever you start moving without, there are inner hindrances. You have to fight, you cannot flow, you have to force. Then you are ill. A healthy person, a healthy being, a healthy energy, is always ready to move anywhere. There is no compulsion to be somewhere in particular. When you can pray like Jesus and meditate like Buddha , then you are complete , whole and healthy.

When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify.

There are people in India who learn Yoga for longevity , not for enlightenment. People practice Hatha Yoga for a healthy and longer life.

You do the job of correcting all inaccurate information provided by me. Serve the humanity !

@Fidelio I live in India but I never heard that there are some people believe that raping a virgin is a cure for AIDs. India is a democratic country, Indian press is independent. Such news can bring turmoil in India, please provide me some link, source of your information.

@Annetta The first step is relaxing is the body. Remember as many times as possible to look in the body, whether you are carrying some tension in the body somewhere – at the neck, in the head, in the legs. Relax it consciously. Just go to that part of the body, and persuade that part, say to it lovingly "Relax!" "And you will be surprised that if you approach any part of your body, it listens, it follows you – it is your body! With closed eyes, go inside the body from the toe to the head searching for any place where there is a tension. And then talk to that part as you talk to a friend; let there be a dialogue between you and your body. Tell it to relax, and tell it, "There is nothing to fear. Don't be afraid. I am here to take care – you can relax." Slowly slowly, you will learn the knack of it. Then the body becomes relaxed. Start from the body, and then go, slowly slowly, deeper. And don't start with anything else unless you have first solved the primary. If your body is tense, don't start with the mind. Wait. Work on the body. And just small things are of immense help. "You walk at a certain pace; that has become habitual, automatic. Now try to walk slowly. Buddha used to say to his disciples, "Walk very slowly, and take each step very consciously." If you take each step very consciously, you are bound to walk slowly. If you are running, hurrying, you will forget to remember. Hence Buddha walks very slowly. "Just try walking very slowly, and you will be surprised – a new quality of awareness starts happening in the body. Eat slowly, and you will be surprised – there is great relaxation. Do everything slowly... just to change the old pattern, just to come out of old habits. "First the body has to become utterly relaxed, like a small child, then only start with the mind.

Suffering exists because of your being, the way you are , not due to circumstances. Never think that somebody else or your childhood or your past is responsible for your present suffering. You suffer because you have not yet reached state of meditation. You can't sit silently twenty four hours, whatsoever you do, do it with awareness; this is meditation. Walking, walk attentively, as if walking is everything; eating, eat with awareness, as if eating is everything; rising, rise with awareness; sitting, sit with awareness; all your actions become conscious, your mind does not travel beyond this moment, it remains in the moment, settles in the moment – this is meditation. Start with small things like bathing, eating, cleaning dishes etc. It can be very difficult in the beginning. Never expect quick results, only those who have infinite patience get quick results, those who are in hurry miss it.

@Abi Loneliness becomes the mirror. Society is the deception. That;s why you are always afraid of being alone – because you will have to know yourself, and you will have to know yourself in your nudity, in your nakedness. You are afraid. To be alone is difficult. Whenever you are alone, you immediately start doing something so you are not alone. You may start reading the newspaper, or you may put on the T.V., or you may go to some club to meet some friends, or you may go to visit some family – but you must do something. Why? Because the moment you are alone your identity melts, and all that you know about yourself becomes false and all that is real starts bubbling up. A man must move into solitariness to know himself. One need not be there forever, that is futile, but one has to be in solitude for a time, for a period. And the length of the period will depend on each individual. Mohammed was in solitude for a few months; Jesus for only a few days; Mahavir for twelve years and Buddha for six years. It depends. But unless you come to the point where you can say, ”Now I have know the essential,” it is a must to be alone.

Lao Tzu lived in silence. He always avoided talking about the truth that he had attained and he always rejected the idea that he should write it down for the generations to come. At the age of ninety he took leave of his disciples. He said goodbye to them, and he said, ”Now I am moving towards the hills, towards the Himalayas. I am going there to get ready to die. It is good to live with people, it is good to be in the world while you are living, but when one is getting nearer to death it is good to move into total aloneness, so that you move towards the original source in your absolute purity and loneliness, uncontaminated by the world.” The disciples felt very, very sad, but what could they do? They followed him for a few hundred miles, but by and by Lao Tzu persuaded them to go back. Then alone he was crossing the border, and the guard on the border imprisoned him. The guard was also a disciple. And the guard said: ”Unless you write a book, I am not going to allow you to move beyond the border. This much you must do for humanity. Write a book. That is the debt you have to pay, otherwise I won’t allow you to cross.” So for three days Lao Tzu was imprisoned by his own disciple. It is beautiful. It is very loving. He was forced – and that’s how this small book, the book of Lao Tzu, TAO TE CHING, was born. He had to write it, because the disciple wouldn’t allow him to cross.

You can learn a technique for meditation, but technique is not meditation. Meditation happens, you can not do it. It is a growth: a growth of your total living, out of your total living. Meditation is not something that can be added to you as you are. It can come to you only through a basic transformation, a mutation. It is a flowering, a growth. Growth is always out of the total; it is not an addition. You must grow toward meditation. This total flowering of the personality must be understood correctly. Otherwise one can play games with oneself, one can occupy oneself with mental tricks. Language must be dropped. I don’t mean that you have to suppress it or eliminate it. I only mean that it does not have to be a twenty-four-hour-a-day habit for you. When you walk, you need to move your legs. But if they go on moving when you are sitting, then you are mad. You must be able to turn them off. In the same way, when you are not talking with anyone, language must not be there. It is a technique to communicate. When you are not communicating with anybody it should not be there. If you are able to do this, you can grow into meditation. Meditation is a growing process, not a technique. A technique is always dead, so it can be added to you, but a process is always alive. It grows, it expands. Whenever someone begins meditation, he will become aware of many things of which he was not previously aware, and because of that awareness he will suffer. This is how things are, and one has to pass through them. So if you start meditation and you do not suffer, it means it is not meditation, but just a hypnosis. That means you are just drugging yourself. You are becoming more unconscious. With a real, authentic meditation you will suffer more, because you will become more aware. You will see the ugliness of your anger, you will feel the cruelty of your jealousy, you will now know the evidence of your behaviour. Now, in every gesture, you will begin to feel where a hidden animal in you, and you will suffer. But this is how one grows. Growth is a painful birth. If you do not escape, if you remain there with your suffering, one day suffering will disappear and you will have grown into more awareness. Suffering disappears in two ways. You become unconscious; then suffering disappears for you. But, really, suffering remains there. It cannot disappear. It remains there! Really, your consciousness has disappeared, so you cannot feel it, you cannot be aware of it. If you become more conscious, in the meantime you will have to suffer more. But accept suffering as a part of growth, as a part of training, as just a discipline, and then one day, when your consciousness has gone beyond your suffering, suffering will disappear not just for you – it will disappear objectively. Use suffering as a stepping-stone; do not escape from it. If you escape from it, you are escaping from your destiny, from the possibility of going beyond knowledge by using suffering as a device.

You are a lovely person, but it would be better if you provide some relevant links so I can learn more about India !

Don't spread rumors , it has nothing to do with India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_cleansing_myth How can any other country assess Indian nuclear weapons ? They are well protected.

You must be trying hard to remain miserable, it is not natural. Once you know the knack of meditation, life will become a celebration. Many Indian Yogis leave their body due to spiritual reasons, but longevity is possible through Yoga. Once you taste the meditation, I will tell you the secret of longevity.

Still the mission was successful. India’s space agency launched a record 104 satellites from a single rocket this year. You are misinformed. What is the source of your information ?

@Fidelio Everybody is not illiterate in India. India was the first nation to successfully reach the Mars on its first attempt. India has launched 180 satellites for 23 different countries. India is a nuclear weapons state. Rulers of India are well educated persons and they used to visit Devraha Baba, he was very famous and reputed person. As I already mentioned that the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than seventy years ago, said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child – that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century – and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time. An Allahabad (India) High Court Barrister had stated that seven generations of his family had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba.

Ageing is a phenomenon where cell destruction predominates over the reconstruction/growth process. Yoga does not go against this natural process, but the speed of the degeneration can be slowed down by regular practice of a balance set of asanas, pranayama, relaxation, meditation, chantings, cleansing exercises etc. With the stages of ageing, some associated physiological changes are loss of muscle mass, bone density, flexibility, joint disorders, lowering of circulatory system and sleep disorder. Some few Indian Yogis who maintained excellent health till their old age were Trailanga swami who lived over 280 years of age, shanker Mai Jiew who died at 120 years of age and Devraha Baba who was believed to have lived to over 250 years. The first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than seventy years ago, said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child – that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century – and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time. 250 Year Old Devraha Baba of Vrindavan (India) Translation Reporter say: This is Devraha Baba, who lives on this wooden platform. He is not a robber or a psycho but a person highly honored and respected not only in India but also far from its borders. He was visited on many occasions by famous and rich Kashigy , Sultan of Brunei , artists and actors - Liz Taylor, Roger Moore; rulers of India that visited him were Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, and ministers of the government. So it is our turn now to see him! Let see what is happening these are high power people from Delhi that brought their children suffering from diarrhea. Conventional drugs would not help them so these people are using alternative methods to deal with their problems. Baba cures people using only words and by touching them using his foot. Up to 3,000 people come to see him daily, some for advise, some to get healed and others just to see him. As we can see, people are sitting by the fence and waiting for when Baba would give them a sign to approach. It happens that people being sent away by means of his young helper. Rumors about this wise man spread from eastern India, state of Bihar in the mid-1950s, when a village was attacked by a pack of wild bears eating people. That is when Baba appeared from one of the huts and stopped the bears by raising his hand. Since then Baba was seen in other parts of India. He could understand the language of animals, heal people by his look or word, give advice and tell the future. In the past he would do predictions of political future for whole countries. For that he was once arrested and only personal involvement of Indira Gandhi helped to get him out of the jail. Some say that Baba was her personal advisor during her last days. This holy man could not protect her but predicted the day she would die (she wrote about it). Question and Answer begins by the reporter: Question by reporter: What do you eat? Answer by Devraha Baba: Nothing by your standards. Question by reporter: How old are you and do you remember your parents? Answer by Devraha Baba: I do not have any age. I was born from the river Yamuna when it was blessed by Krishna. (At this point somebody from the crowd commented that he is 200 years old or just under that.) Question by reporter: People talk about the end of the world that is expected at the end of this century (this interview is dated to mid 1980s), can you comment on that? Answer by Devraha Baba: This is a secret and the time has not come yet to reveal that. I can only say that what ever would happen will be good for the humanity, as I am praying for that. Reporter says: After such an answer we had little hope for our next question: What can you say about the future of the Soviet Union? And here a miracle happened as we got a long answer from this Person who does not even know how a radio or a newspaper looks like: Answer by Devraha Baba: Litva has distorted the Baltics and the 3 Republics would separate, other Republics would follow up. You are going thru a difficult period of suffering but at the end everything will be ok as you will be purged. Your President Gorbachev will visit India this or next year. Let him come over and I would give a good advice to him and bless. Question by reporter: Can we pass on your message to him? Answer by Devraha Baba: No, let him come in person. Question by reporter: Can we get a blessing from you? Reporter says: Here there was a delay for about 15 minutes during which he would glance at us with one eye, greenish and bottomless. Meanwhile it was commented from the crowd that his last blessing happened about 1 year ago and that he does not bless when people ask for it. So we were about to leave when Baba decided to bless me. I am going to comment on my feelings while it is happening. They say that usually insulation is used between the foot and a head to be on a safe side. Reporter says: Later When saying goodbye Baba told us not to leave Delhi quickly after we would return there. We forgot all about it and went off to another assignment. Just recently we found that a train near Bombay was derailed. We were planning to take this train. Well, it could be just a coincidence, or maybe not?
