 One of the most important life events is falling in love, yet we never learn about it in school. Societies and religions force us into models and thought-forms that are often in opposition to an organic model of love, which is instead institutionalized by marriage, religious affiliations, and nationalism. This results in love that is, for most people, a painful challenge in one form or another throughout life. In these modern days, where the focus shifts more and more to realizing one's individual potential, Osho helps us to direct our search for love by widening our view - showing us that love has many manifestations and is not limited to the 'other'. One manifestation of love is meditation, a life-changing experience that allows the flowering of real love within oneself and toward others.

"Oh yes Osho! Photo from hollywoodreporter.com I read a lot of Osho's books and I believe Rebellion was my favorite so far. I have been reading a lot about rebellion and how creativity is the greatest form of rebellion in life. It's important to stand up for what you believe in and to fight for equality. ... So I read Osho because not only do I love his work and what he writes about, but I guess I am kind of an Indian hippie!" “I feel so blessed. I never would have imagined years ago that I would be able to come to India and perform and to meet my new amazing fans that are here,” she said in her opening remarks. “The sights in India are beautiful but the most beautiful sights are the people.” Lady Gaga's Indian fashion statement was further enhanced with her colorful flowing dress which she said was designed by a New York-based designer of Indian origin Naeem Khan. The award-winning pop diva's Indian connection was seen earlier this year in one of her messa...

<…> A man who has no desire is spiritual. A man who does not hanker for any ego-trip is spiritual. A man who is not worried about   kundalini   and chakras   and   sahasrar , the one-thousand-petalled lotus opening, that man is spiritual, that man has the quality of being a spiritual man. In his ordinariness he is extraordinary. In his mundane life, he has holiness. Even the division between the spiritual and material is a materialist’s division. A spiritual person knows no divisions; a spiritual person simply accepts whatsoever is, and this “isness” is one. There is nothing like the spiritual and the material – that again is the division of the ego; all divisions are of the ego. When the ego disappears there is no division, there is one, undivided reality. Call it spiritual, call it material – it does not matter; when there is only one, any name will do.  <…>   Osho.  Tao: The Pathless Path <…> A spiritual man is a great availa...

I  real ly e njoyed it!   Happiness is not a result, happiness is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. Happiness is an attitude, not a desire. You can be happy here if you know how to be, and you will never be happy if you don’t know how to be and you go on desiring it. Happiness is an art. It is a way of life. If you can be silent and aware of the life that is around you and within you this very moment, you will be happy. The birds are singing, the wind is blowing… The trees are happy, the sky is happy; everything in existence is happy except you.   Osho.The New Alchemy: To Turn You On    Happiness is part of unhappiness. That’s why happiness should not be the goal of your life, because if you want happiness you will have to remain unhappy. The unhappier you are, then only a few moments, few and far between, will be those of happiness. The goal is not happiness; the goal is bliss. Don’t ask me, “What is happiness?” because that sh...

'Danger: Truth at Work' goes to the heart of our most fundamental human issues. Why can't we just live happily and be content? While we seem to have all the knowledge we need to solve our problems, we haven't. In this timely book, Osho explains that religious conditioning has held us back. Each chapter covers a different aspect of this conditioning, and, in gentle but persuasive language, shows readers how to transcend it. Individual chapters cover such subjects as The Nuclear Family: The Imminent Meltdown; Pseudo-Religion: The Stick-on Soul; They Say Believe, I Say Explore; and Ecstasy Is Now: Why Wait? and others. The enclosed DVD gives a firsthand experience of the process, which Osho calls a "dry cleaning of the mind." 'The Magic of Self-Respect' -So much of the experience of everyday life, says Osho in this insightful guide, is shaped by religious and social conditioning — and we are not even aware of the fact. We are constantly ...

<...> Tantra means technique. So this treatise is a scientific one. Science is not concerned with why, science is concerned with how. That is   the basic difference between philosophy and science. Philosophy asks, “Why this existence?” Science asks, “How this existence?” The moment you ask the question, how?, method and technique become important. Theories become meaningless; experience becomes the center. Tantra is science, Tantra is not philosophy. To understand philosophy is easy because only your intellect is required. If you can understand language, if you can understand concepts, you can understand philosophy. You need not change; you require no transformation. As you are, you can understand philosophy—but not Tantra. You will need a change … rather, a mutation. Unless you are different, Tantra cannot be understood because Tantra is not an intellectual proposition, it is an experience. Unless you are receptive, ready, vulnerable to the experience, it is not going t...

This timely book explores the wisdom of the Gnostic Jesus, who challenges our preconceptions about the world and ourselves. Based on the Gospel of Thomas, the book recounts the missing years in Jesus’ life and his time in Egypt and India, learning from Egyptian secret societies, then Buddhist schools, then Hindu Vedanta. Each of Jesus' original sayings is the "seed" for a chapter of the book; each examines one aspect of life — birth, death, love, fear, anger, and more — counterpointed by Osho’s penetrating comments and responses to questions from his audience. Osho. The Mustard Seed      

A Practical Guide to Osho Meditations Meditation: The First and Last Freedom shows that meditation is not a spiritual discipline separate from everyday life in the real world. In essence, it is simply the art of being aware of what is going on inside and around us. As we acquire the knack, meditation can be our companion wherever we are-at work, at play, at rest. The meditation contains practical, step-by-step guides to a wide variety of meditation techniques selected by and/or created by Osho, including the unique OSHO Active Meditations which deal with the special tensions of contemporary life. Recognizing that it's almost impossible for most people these days just to stop and sit silently, these meditations - including the Osho Dynamic Meditation and Osho Kundalini Meditation - begin with one or more stages of vigorous physical activity. This brings our physical and mental energies to a peak so that the following silence is easy -- leaving us alert, refreshed, and new...

"Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring book, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore the man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. In  The God Conspiracy , Osho offers a-solution beyond-Nietzsche - meditation, a direct connection with existence itself.  Here he shows how Zen and meditation allow us to find meaning and significance, creativity, receptivity, and a path to freedom. Zen has no God, but it has a tremendous power to transform our consciousness, to bring so much awareness that committing evil becomes inconceivable. This book argues persuasively that transformation cannot be imposed, but must come from one-s innermost being and understanding.
