TURBOCHARGED ENERGY ENHANCEMENT WORLD SYNTHESIS
"When I was talking to the famous Ecumenical Benedictine Monk, Father Bede Griffiths, Head of the Ashram of Shantivanam on the Banks of the River Cauvery in Tamil Nadu, Southern India, he said that each Saint who has come to Earth to create a Religion has brought a Revelation, A Special Meditation Teaching, a Precious Jewel unto the Earth for the benefit of Humanity. Such is the competition between Religions is that some of these precious jewels have been destroyed or lost.

".... When I was getting the better of the energy blockage I felt the spaces in which I meditated expand. I got an explosion of energy down the right hand side of my body. The energy was bumping around in my base chakra; in fact my whole body was pulsating with the energies. It felt as though there was static electricity all along my arms making the hairs stand up on end. As the energies grew stronger I felt lighter, happier and freer. My heart opened out to send blasts of energy out which returned back to me." Vanessa Graham (UK) Meditation Teacher/Writer

INDIA 2009 OCTOBER - GOA WITH A STUDENT DOING TWO LEVELS OF ENERGY ENHANCEMENT
"Satchidanand seems to be talking of a reality once written about by many Sages of the past but now forgotten in the West!"
Now we are in Goa in a beautiful Apartment with swimming pool for a few months - waiting for more students - get in Touch!! and also waiting for the start of our All India Tour with One Level of Energy Enhancement Free!! and concentrating on the Energy Enhancement Course with our Student from Haridwar and Rishikesh - Removing, Healing, Purifying, Bringing back to their purified and blockageless state - Nirodha, all the Vrittis - Energy Blockages and samskaras on the Path of Yoga Integration, Enlightenment.
Speed up Your Process with Energy Enhancement..
Get Experienced - as do all Energy Enhancement Students and this indeed is the only answer to the intellectual Mind which knows not and can never know Anything!! Only Direct Spiritual Experience is the answer.
And here we are with our Student from Rishikesh. He came to see us in 2002 for an Energiser and again in 2007 in Palamos in Spain where he and his wife were given Initiations in Level 1 and level 2.
His wife at that time who is a complete natural at meditation and has been dragged on Zen retreats with Zen Masters by her husband and also other Meditation Courses and comes from Siberia where shamanism and BMs are a part of Normal life, had a Grandfather who was a great healer and spiritual force in that area. She said that, "Devi Dhyani and Satchidanand are two of the most Spiritual People I have ever met"
To become Enlightened all she needs is a little more of, "After All That" which is from the first Sutra of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The bit where is says that you have to have, "Done That, Been There and Got the T Shirt" You must have seen through the Hollywood dreams which say you will be happy with Children, Fulfilling Job, Wife and Husband, Money, Power, Big Houses, Rolls Royces and a Hareem. Of course this can never be true. She needs to know that only Enlightenment will suffice in Eternity. That Only Enlightenment can assuage her need for Complete and Utter Fulfillment in this moment, Now!! When she can "Dwell in the House of the Lord for Ever"
And here is our student again with us in Goa, India for more Ego Blockage Busting!!
All those people who know of us in England, America, Australia - everywhere in the World - They are the Outpatients. And our Student here with us now - He is the Inpatient. For the Operation of the Egodectomy!!
And this is what he wants having had experience of our power previously.
And Energy Enhancement gives the Meditative Tools, the Seven Step Process, The Kundalini Kriyas, The Supra- Galactic Orbit - Ancient Techniques from 5000 years of Effective Spiritual technology to allow this to happen.
So, we set him clearing out his Antahkarana and Sutrama. Clearing out all the blockages in the chakras of the body and the Chakras below the Body and the Chakras above the body.
The Chakras above the Crown contain many control implants from the Dark Side cutting him off from the Light of the Soul, creating Despair and Cynicism which are truly great weapons of the Dark Side. And when he finds them and Grounds these controls he always finds that they are connected with blockages inside his body which he must Ground also.
The Chakras below the base are usually Blocked with Implant Blockages in our students having been De-Feeted in previous spiritual encounters in lifetimes long ago. These blockages below the base create the slave mentality of having wonderful thoughts and ideas, "You're living in a Dream World, Neo" but having no Base Chakra Power to implement Any of them.
But these blockages are simple and the work includes using the simple exercises to find the deeper Blockages called Sub- Personalities so, "Ask and ye shall receive" Our student found one. He found the Big Fish, the Selfish!! A part of the selfish competitive ego.
According to our student he saw his sub-personality, more accurately described as an Alter-Ego. We have many of these Alter-Egos and they are sometimes created by bad events like your mother dying when you were three. You can imagine the pain of the unprotected child at this time, and when this happens, shit happens, sometimes an inner child alter-ego is formed with the pain of the event as its power. the alter-ego is sometimes called an, "Inner Child" and its function is always to, 'Get Attention"
It is only the Soul Infused personality which can notice these Alter Egos because they are usually limited in their selfish little aims and they do not act in a logical manner. Only the Soul Infused Personality can heal these Inner Children by Grounding all of their Trauma Formed Negative Karmic Mass and then by integrating the purified parts of the sub-personality into the Soul Chakra. A Process called Resurrection by Alice Bailey in the "Rays and the Initiations"
As The "Complete Instructions on Enlightenment", The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, say in Book Four, Sutra 6.. TATRA DHYANAJAM ANASAYAM - Only the Alter Ego minds, grounded and resurrected, born of meditation, are free from Karmic Impressions.
He Saw this Sub-Personality he called the "Resistor", the Intellectual, the guy who decides what to do, the guy who manages and directs everything. The guy who, subtly violatorish, rejects everything and insists on his own path. The guy who rejected the life his parents wanted for him, a Doctor like his father or a lawyer. The one who wanted to know the truth, the one who rejected many paths because he wanted to know it for himself. The one who went for the philosophy course at University and eventually became a Doctor of Philosophy.
This Alter-Ego had many ideas of what might work but always came to the Soul Infused Personality for decisions and the Soul Infused Personality always knew, Yes or No!!
And the Soul Infused Personality found it very easy to allow this Alter-Ego to manage his life because he was doing, in General, a good job but now he saw in the Energy Enhancement meditations that the Alter-Ego was based in pain and thus resists too much, is afraid and in General is now too much of a drag!!
The Resistor Alter-Ego is seen needing to be purified and Integrated into the Soul Infused Personality - The One, "There can only be One" And Energy Enhancement gives the Meditative Tools, the Seven Step Process, to allow this to happen.
Many people, Psychologists like Eric Berne who wrote million seller and now standard work, "The games People Play" have seen these Alter Ego Inner Children but have no way of resolving them except by talking about them. Using the Intellect to dwell on their Illogicalities.
The Alter-Ego Inner Children and Strategies spit on these methods. They have no effect on them because these Inner Children have been built and Programmed by YOU to only GET ATTENTION!! They are only doing their job. And they do not care what happens to you.
The Poor Me Alcoholic can die in the process of getting attention. I think it was the Star Footballer George Best who said, "I spend nearly all of my money on Booze and Beautiful Women, the rest I wasted!" He died from drinking alcohol after his Liver transplant.
I think it was one psychologist who admitted to his colleague, "You know and I know that working with Alcoholics is like chipping ice from the Antarctic!" Only Energy Enhancement has the tools to provide real inner change in All Humanity!
So our student Grounded and Resurrected the "Resistor" Sub-Personality and when he absorbed it into his Soul he noticed that he felt more Solid. His Antahkarana instead of being thin with no Base expanded and became a, "Fat Pipe" able to channel more energy from the Soul to all his projects on this planet.
Because he noticed that the "Resistor" Alter was based on anger to fuel its resistance we decided to focus on the "Violator" Strategy and to Ground all the Anger Trauma-Formed Negative Karmic Mass which was powering it.
After a lot of hard work he finally grounded all the Violator, and in the process of resurrecting all of its parts he noticed that it split into many bits, some bigger than others.
The small bits went into the Soul Chakra, but the big bits went higher into the Monad or the Logos or the Sirius Chakras. He presumed the bigger bits were more evolved Function Angel Colonies which could help crystallise the functions of those higher chakras.
We need bigger and more complex chakras to help channel the increased energies of the Higher Chakras we will need to channel, in order to do our spiritual work in future. We can use the spare parts of the Angel Colonies from the blockages we heal to add to our Spiritual Bodies.
In a way it is another use of the, "Black Gold" "Texas tea" I talk about in my Youtube Video on VITRIOL on how to Ground all negative energies for purification in Kundalini Chakra in the Center of the Earth
You can see the Video here..
Or Here http://www.youtube.com/user/swamisatchidanand#grid/user/931DC970B246AC2D
After the Violator and its Anger I said, "Just check" and when he checked he found another Alter Ego which was just filled with Anger. More Anger. Free Anger. And he tried to Ground it. Tried to Contain it. It was almost too much!!
As he meditated on it over the next day I thought I would give him a hand without saying anything about it, because he looked a little overwhelmed. And when your whelm is overed!!
So I connected him to my hundreds of helpers in the Avatar of Synthesis whose job is to help with the process of World Integration and to an Ascended Master much higher than that and I started to use the techniques of the seven step process on the Anger Blockage.
He complained to me bitterly before the course that I would not use as he called them, "Visual Techniques" on his Energy Enhancement course because all he could do was "Feel" what was happening.
Of course, since then my student had spent a day or two clearing out his Antahkarana which is the first thing we always do in Level 2 of Energy Enhancement. This opens the channels to the higher chakras and enables vast amounts of energy to power the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and psychic bodies.
Energy Enhancement connects you up with higher energies. It removes your blockages to the flow of energies. The psychic machinery exists perfect, within everyone. The problem is it is connected to the little Five Volt Battery of the Chakras where what it really needs is to be connected in to the, as Gurdjieff called it, "The Big Generator!" or the energy of the Soul and Kundalini Chakras.
When given more energy from Advanced Energy Enhancement Initiations, all Energy Enhancement students gain the ability to, "See" what is going on as their Psychic Powers reach fruition. Of Course the Psychic Machinery is not just, "Psychic Vision. It also includes, "Intuition" and "Wisdom" where without any intellectual functioning, we just, "Know".
My student of course, made sensitive by the Energy Enhancement processes was now able to garner much experience and information from this occurrence.
He, "Saw" the blockage react to the energy I sent to it and how it resisted the Seven Step process and just how strong it was, what it was and what was its function. He said he had never seen so much energy. he did not know that it was possible to channel so much energy. He did not know that it was possible for Blockages to be so strong.
He, "Saw" that this blockage was a strong Implant Blockage input into his system many lifetimes ago to Vampirise his energy system. These strong types of Implants have the ability to control your intellectual thoughts and lower types of Alters like the "Resistor" we had already grounded.
The Resistor Alter was a Front for the Implant Blockage to distract attention from its presence. The major weapon of these implants is invisibility, because as soon as we know of their existence in Energy Enhancement, they are on the way out!!
Seeing its strength. Seeing how it had resisted my initial blast of energy towards it, my student became afraid that he would remain implanted for all of his life and future lifetimes. Usually, the purpose of such a strong blockage is to act as a Vampire to channel the Psychic Energies of the Client to the Implanters. To keep its client distracted so that it can never regain its psychic powers. And especially, never to allow the client to become Enlightened.
Over many years these sophisticated yet programmed Implant Blockages become a part of the emotional and intellectual mind of the client. They actually gain the ability to affect the emotions of the client and even to "talk" to the client and the words appear in the mind of the client as their own thoughts!!
So, having been discovered this Powerful Implant Blockage went into overdrive to increase its major power, Despair. They are all the same these Big Blockages. They say, "You Can't get rid of me. I am more powerful than you" and time after time we say nothing and we do the Energy Enhancement Seven Step Process and they fall; they go; and their spare parts coat our Higher Being Bodies - at least they are that much use.
They do the same in the World, "Look upon my works Ye People and Despair!" Yet this world is performing its function, perfectly, as a factory for the production of Enlightened Beings as it provides different races and different evolutions of people in order for us to make our mistakes on the path of learning, "That we only have the Free Will to do the Right Thing" The wrong thing always brings Its Own Karma, "I was down when I began to crawl. If I didn't have Bad luck, I would't have No luck at All!"
The Buddha was Right, "Right Mind, Right Job, Right Meditation" as he says in the Dhammapada.
The end result of Doing the Right thing is to be in Perfect Alignment with the Purpose of God on this Planet, Enlightenment.
Overnight the blockage talked to our client and in the morning he was in despair. I said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself", and he thought that we could not remove the blockage because it was so strong. "I saw your energy hit the Blockage", he said, "And I saw how strongly it reacted to protect itself"
I said that I had only blasted it a little while and that, "No protection can ever hold" It can only give us a little time to react and remove the attacker. "We will remove the Blockage. No Blockage can stand against us because we are connected to the higher frequencies of the Light, to a source of infinite power, whereas the energies of the dark side are necessarily connected to the source of their prey at very much lower frequencies, you!! What chance do they have?"
So we sat together and Devi Dhyani and I helped and at the end of the meditation the Blockage was gone and its spare parts were coating the Higher Being Bodies of our Student, "Pain Gone! Blockage Gone!!"
On the path of Illumination, Enlightenment with Energy Enhancement where Enlightenment is Not Enough! because we Facilitate the Higher Cosmic Initiations above Enlightenment. We provide the Techniques to Speed Up the Path of Enlightenment for Every Path extant on this World as All the religions and Spiritual Paths on this planet come together through the use of the Most Advanced and Effective Energy Enhancement Techniques to Create Evolution, Enlightenment and World Peace.
INDIA 2009 OCTOBER - HARIDWAR RISHIKESH SIVANANDA WITH A STUDENT DOING TWO LEVELS OF ENERGY ENHANCEMENT
"Satchidanand seems to be talking of a reality once written about by many Sages of the past but now forgotten in the West!"
Well, we just finished the Mystic part of the Course in Haridwar and Rishikesh where my lineage started on the banks of the River Ganges at Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh.
Swami Sivananda
An Ashram is the group of people, the Sangha which gather around a living master. When the master dies the life, the spiritual energy, the buddhafield of the master also goes - unless his spiritual body decides to remain to help all those who follow. As an enlightened master who has transcended the body becomes an ascended master and is more free and more powerful to help all who come on the spiritual level.
As Dogen said, "Drop Body, Drop Mind!!" and an enlightened Master is one of those who has learned to cast off the body as we would a suit of old clothes.
The Zen are very strange and one day a Zen Master decided it was his day to die and he wanted to make a statement that he was dying of his own free will in the way that he wanted to. So he decided to die standing on his head in the middle of the meditation room so when people came in they could see his dead body on his head, dead in the middle of the room!! That way it could not be missed that he had died intentionally!!
But his mother came in and said, "That boy was always showing off!!"
Mothers are like that and like all students can be a heavy burden to carry.
The word Guru means, "Remover of Darkness" the meaning of the word, "Guru" is that of a person who can remove the deepest karma, the most dense Energy Blockages of your EGO!!
That is why Ramana Maharshi said that he had made his mother enlightened when she died. I mean, if you can make your mother enlightened!! by removing all her energy blockages!!
And when asked when he was dying of cancer why he was dying.., "He said that he had been able to ground, dissolve all the karma from his students.. But the karma of his mother when he had made her enlightened.. That was too much.
Ramana also made his favourite cow enlightened when it died in his arms. He could even enlighten a cow. And if he could enlighten a cow.. Then he can enlighten even you!!
"Dont Leave us Ramana"... "Where can I go?" Reply to Student on the eve of his death in effect saying that when he died he was going nowhere, he was dying to become an Ascended master where he could be even more helpful to his students.
The was the experience of our student, Susan, when she met Ramana Maharshi in her meditation in his cave at the sacred Mountain of Arunachala where saints have lived and become enlightened for thousands of years and where we will be visiting on our All India Tour!!
And that is the function of a Master - To take away your karma and make you enlightened.
We certainly had evidence of Sivanada out of his body on our visit to Sivananda Ashram October 2009..
Our student, like most students is an old time meditator. That is, he has experience of meditation in the Zen School but wanted to speed up his process. That is, he knows the jewel that is Energy Enhancement.
One day a Sufi master said to his student go to the market with this ring and ask how much they will give for it.
The maximum the market jewellers would give was 100 pounds.
Then he said.. Go to the real jeweller in the center of town.
The real jeweller offered 50,000 pounds for the very same ring!!
We need experience to know the real from the unreal and that is why our students have usually some experience of meditation in order to know the real.
Energy Enhancement is that jewel.. That Pearl of great price which Jesus said to the student to give all his wealth to possess.
So we go to the Ashram and I have been there 20 years ago and met the President, Chidananda, and the second in command Krishnananda and the secretary Vimalanada and Vimalananda was a friend and he invited us to stay at the ashram and we talked with him.
DEVI DHYANI AT THE ASHRAM OF ANANDA MAYI MA HARIDWAR OCTOBER 2009
FROM THE ASHRAM OF ANANDA MAYI MA IN HARIDWAR THIS BENGALI SAINTESS SANG "HEY BHAGWAN" AND MADE YOU CRY WITH HER PRESENCE.
CHIDANANDA STAYED AT HER ASHRAM EVERY TIME HE WAS IN THE AREA
And now 20 years later Chidananda is dead age 93 in 2008 and Krishnananda is dead 2002 when my Master Swami Satchidananda - also a student of Sivananda - died age 89.
And now Vimalananda is President of the Ashram of Sivananda - The Divine Life Society - a good man.
Well, the last time we worked on our student in 2002 - He was on a week long energiser with 4 Energy Enhancement Initiations but we went way beyond that with him, because he could!!
We removed an enormous blockage from his base chakra so that when he went back to his Zen Master he could sit much better and much longer in meditation and his meditation increased in power and over the years he got better quickly.. But not enough and here he is again in search of Enlightenment, this time for 5 weeks - the first week free because I wanted him to have the Rishikesh experience.
There is such a thing as lineage in this world of spirituality and as the world is at the moment, there is an externalisation of the Inner Spiritual Ashrams onto the physical plane, and each ashram and its Master emmanates a spiritual vibration for the benefit of humanity.
Sivananda was for Synthesis of Religion "I Love all Gurus, All Cults, All Religions!!"
My Master, Satchidananda, was high in the field of Ecumenism having been given the United Nations U Thant Peace Award etc See this THE SYNTHESIS OF RELIGION - IF ALL THE RELIGIONS CANNOT COME TOGETHER, WHAT CHANCE HAVE THE POLITICIANS? THE-SYNTHESIS-OF-ALL-RELIGIOUS-MEDITATION-PATH-TO-ILLUMINATION-IS-ENERGY-ENHANCEMENT
Satchidananda said that when Sivananda died in Rishikesh in the Himalayas in 1963, he was in Celon and he felt the energy of his master enter into him. He got some of that fire. And I too in 2002 when Satchidananda died felt the energy of my Master - for 3 nights filled with the white light of his soul entering into me.
So, it was an unexpected experience we both had at the Ashram of Sivananda October 2009. Just entering into the Samadhi Hall of Sivananda where they have nightly Satsang.
I was saying that I wanted to test out the spiritual sensitivity of my student and indeed he passed the test at Har Ki Pauri - The Footsteps of the Gods - on the bank of the Ganges in Haridwar where there is a nightly Arati attended, as are all spiritual gatherings of sufficient size, by enlightened masters of the Himalayas who channel energy to all the participants.
Just as Yogananda met his master, the 2000 year old Babaji at Allallahbad at the Kumba Mela there all those years ago.
YOGANANDA, MASTER OF KRIYA YOGA, THE CIRCULATION OF THE ENERGIES, AND THE KUNDALINI KRIYAS
"With these techniques, your evolution will increase with every energy revolution to create a revolution in your evolution" - Paramahamsa Yogananda
Babaji is the Master who gave Kriya Yoga to the world through the lineage of Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar and his student, Yogananda and this is a genuine step forward on the path of enlightenment which lineage I received from Swami Satyananda back in 1980.
But Energy Enhancement comes from a Higher Source, the Avatar of Synthesis, who has been retained as a consultant in the process of World Integration both Spiritual and Political. There are various Ashrams working on both sides of this field. Energy Enhancement is a resource and consultation department usable by all other Ashrams who want to increase their Spiritual Power through the use of Advanced Energy Enhancement Meditation Techniques, "The Pearl Of Great Price" Which are to be given freely to all genuine Sannyasins in these Externalised Ashrams.
So, we enter into the Samadhi Hall of Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh and our student remarks that he can feel a great energy even outside the hall, "Awe Inspiring" and in the hall I am taking videos and an old monk is chanting delightfully and there are only a couple of people there and our student sits and as he sits the tears are rolling down his face and he feels he wants to prostrate at the samadhi shrine but feels a little embarrased but he goes over and prostrates as he has been taught in the Zen Tradition and does the eight bows including the prostrations and not really wanting to he bursts into tears as, as he explains later, "I really felt like I was submitting to the Master!!" And there I am taking the videos.
It reminds me of the tale of what happened to Swami Satchidananda when he visited Durham Cathedral, near my birthplace at Bishop Auckland the seat and Palace of the Prince Bishops of Durham for a 1000 years, when he visited the 1000 year old Cathedral and University Founded by the Venerable Bede at the same time as Oxford and Cambridge.
There is an energy perceivable there to the people of the path, us meditators, which seems to have arrived there from Saint Cuthbert whose bones were removed to Durham Cathedral from Holy Island where he died a thousand years ago. Anyway, pilgrimage and spiritual sites have much of this energy and it is the reason they are pilgrimage sites. They are chock a block filled with amazing spiritual energy. Spiritual experiences abound. Healing occurs.
So when Satchidananda arrived he gets down on the floor in the center of Durham Cathedral, Face down, Arms akimbo, and says, "There was a great saint here!" They used to take him to all the spiritual sites and temples of India to recharge the spiritual energy there.
Well, I finish taking my videos on my new HD Camera and I too go to sit and as I sit I close my eyes and I see the brilliant white light of Swami Sivananda hovering and the light enters into me and the tears roll down my face and there I am "Kundalinied!" nice experience and a confirmation of the externalisation of the Hierarchy which needs continuity over many lifetimes which is only possible with Ascended masters overseeing a lineage of Spiritual Masters.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
TO BE ENTERTAINED?
OR DO YOU WANT REAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE?

ENLIGHTENMENT..
Many people get along very well with the Energy Enhancement Streaming Videos and DVDs but how many people get enlightened from reading the Bible or the Koran?
How many people become
enlightened by reading Buddha's Dhammapada? Whereas 10,000 monks became
enlightened by listening to the words in the Presence of the Buddha, Live, in the Purple Grove!!
The best way to learn Energy Enhancement is by meeting us - entering into the
Presence of the Buddhafield and studying at the feet of those who know. It has
always been thus for those who urgently need the liberation of Enlightenment...

ENERGY ENHANCEMENT IS THE NEWEST AND HIGHEST SPIRITUAL IMPULSE ON THIS PLANET
Ramana Maharshi on the Energy Enhancement Meditation Tour of India
Ramana Maharshi Biography Ramana Maharshi died in 1949. For more information about this enlightened master whose energy still pervades the ashram we visit please read "Ramana Maharshi and the path of Self Knowledge" by Arthur Osborne. He promoted the use of Vichara or Self Enquiry Meditation to Achieve Enlightenment which you will practise in Initiation 4 of Energy Enhancement.
In the summer of 1896, Ramana went into an altered state of consciousness which had a profound effect on him. He experienced what he understood to be his own death, and later returned to life. Satchidanand had the same experience when he was 14 and it was after this he started to practise yoga as a preparation for Meditation, meeting his spiritual masters and Enlightenment
Tiruvannamalai is a centre of power similar to Machu Pichu in Peru. Ramana Maharshi said they were on opposite poles of the planet and the Sacred Mountain of Arunachala - which we can walk up - near Tiruvannamalai is the Focus. We will visit the Great Temple of Tiruvannamalai, one of the largest temples in Southern India with Gopurams which are high gateway towers whose serried rows of white statues are tiered up to the sky and see a part of India seemingly unchanged for many years.
Satchidanand at Tiruvannamalai Temple - the largest fire Shiva Temple in South India at the foot of Mount Arunachala
Climb, walk up, Arunachala, the Energy Power Centre
at the opposite pole of Machu Pichu. We will visit the caves around the Sacred Mountain
where sages of old entered into Samadhi. Tiruvannamalai can give us a quantum leap in
energy which can be used for your own development. We will stay on the Ashram and visit
places of interest. Food is served in the Ashram sitting on the floor and upon a leaf
plate eaten by the cows afterwards so that there is less work and nothing is wasted. The
food is pure south Indian and to our taste, very delicious!
We will visit Aurobindo Ashram and the Matri Mandir
in Auroville near Pondicherry. The Samadhi shrine of Aurobindo and the Mother resides on
the grounds of their ashram. Satchidanand at the photo.-

ENERGY ENHANCEMENT INDIA TOUR STARTS 25TH JANUARY 2010
- WITH SATCHIDANAND AND DEVI DHYANI
I was in Haridwar for the Kumb in 1998. Every twelve years is
a Kumba Mela and the next is in Haridwar in early 2010.
I got there for one of the auspicious days when the Nagas take a dip in
the River Ganges - just where it comes into the plains at Haridwar descending
from glaciers in the high Himalayas, sorry
forget the date, perhaps Mid March, as I got to Badrinath for the temple opening
on May 1.
Haridwar is a very good location for viewing events as there is a hill above Har
Ki Pari ghat, where the TV cameras set up and you can view the crowds in safety,
otherwise the streets were thronged day and night
Haridwar will be very crowded at the time of Kumbh, over the period more than 25
million people will go. The last Maha Kumb Mela (every 144 years) had 60
Millions - the largest gathering of people ever on this earth.
But that's what makes it a good time to visit. It's only when you see Kumbh with your own eyes, you can believe 'Faith can move mountains'. How the sea of humanity is managed is a miracle.......
April will have two main snans (baths) first on 14th April on Baisakhi i.e.
Summer Solstice and second on 28th April. 14th April will attract a huge
crowd.......
It'll be difficult to get accommodation at that time unless you book in advance.
So book pretty well in advance.
And many bath are at early hours when Naked Sadhus (Nagas - the warrior caste)
take the holy dip.....so if you want to see Kumbha, stay at Haridwar...

PIERRE MORENCY
I'm in the process of fully testing the techniques and approaches I've learned but can already feel - and prove!- tremendous changes in my life.
For instance, since I've been working on "cleaning my base chakra" (The Grounding of Negative Energies, Stage Three of Energy Enhancement, -Satchidanand) everything around me seems to be going through a massive cleansing process - Only 2 days after I returned to Canada from India, a chain reaction of events led my to change my 5 employees, change some of my major accounts and delay a move to the United States. 10 weeks after the program, things are stabilizing.
Looking back, I think the
cleansing process probably saved my business and my marriage.
Thank you Satchi and Devi!!!

Life
Family Background
Sri Ramana was born in a village called Tiruchuzhi near Madurai in Tamil Nadu,
South India on Arudra Darshanam day, into an orthodox Hindu Tamil (Iyer) family,
the second of four children of Sundaram Iyer (1845?-1892) and Azhagammal
(?-1922), and named Venkataraman at birth. His siblings were Nagaswamy
(1877-1900), Nagasundaram (1886-1953) and sister Alamelu (1891/92-1953).
Venkataraman's father was a respected pleader.[6]
Childhood
Venkataraman seemed a normal child with no apparent signs of future greatness.
He was popular, good at sports, very intelligent but lazy at school, indulged in
an average amount of mischief, and showed little religious interest. He did have
a few unusual traits. When he slept, he went into such a deep state of
unconsciousness that his friends could physically assault his body without
waking him up. He also had an extraordinary amount of luck. In team games,
whichever side he played for always won. This earned him the nickname 'Tangakai',
which means 'golden hand'[7]. When Venkataraman was about 11, his father sent
him to live with his paternal uncle Subbaiyar in Dindigul because he wanted his
sons to be educated in English so they would be eligible to enter government
service and only Tamil was taught at the village school in Tiruchuzhi. In 1891,
when his uncle was transferred to Madurai, Venkataraman and his older brother
Nagaswami moved with him. In Madurai, Venkataraman attended Scott's Middle
School[8]
The Awakening
In 1892, Venkataraman's father Sundaram Iyer suddenly fell seriously ill and
unexpectedly died several days later at the age of 42.[8] For some hours after
his father's death he contemplated the matter of death, and how his father's
body was still there, but the 'I' was gone from it.
After leaving Scott's Middle School, Venkataraman went to the American Mission
High School. One November morning in 1895, he was on his way to school when he
saw an elderly relative and enquired where the relative had come from. The
answer was "From Arunachala."[9] Krishna Bikshu describes Venkataraman's
response: "The word 'Arunachala' was familiar to Venkataraman from his younger
days, but he did not know where it was, what it looked like or what it meant.
Yet that day that word meant to him something great, an inaccessible,
authoritative, absolutely blissful entity. Could one visit such a place? His
heart was full of joy. Arunachala meant some sacred land, every particle of
which gave moksha. It was omnipotent and peaceful. Could one behold it? 'What?
Arunachala? Where is it?' asked the lad. The relative was astonished, 'Don't you
know even this?' and continued, 'Haven't you heard of Tiruvannamalai? That is
Arunachala.' It was as if a balloon was pricked, the boy's heart sank."
A month later he came across a copy of Sekkizhar's Periyapuranam, a book that
describes the lives of 63 Saivite saints, and was deeply moved and inspired by
it.[10] Filled with awe, and a desire for emulation, he began devotional visits
to the nearby Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, and associated with this bhakti,
later reported fever like sensations[11]. Soon after, on July 17, 1896,[10] at
age 16, Venkataraman had a life changing experience. He spontaneously initiated
a process of self-enquiry that culminated, within a few minutes, in his own
permanent awakening. In one of his rare written comments on this process he
wrote: 'Enquiring within Who is the seer? I saw the seer disappear leaving That
alone which stands forever. No thought arose to say I saw. How then could the
thought arise to say I did not see.'.[7] As Sri Ramana reportedly described it
later:
"It was in 1896, about 6 weeks before I left Madurai for good (to go to
Tiruvannamalai - Arunachala) that this great change in my life took place. I was
sitting alone in a room on the first floor of my uncle's house. I seldom had any
sickness and on that day there was nothing wrong with my health, but a sudden
violent fear of death overtook me. There was nothing in my state of health to
account for it nor was there any urge in me to find out whether there was any
account for the fear. I just felt I was going to die and began thinking what to
do about it. It did not occur to me to consult a doctor or any elders or
friends. I felt I had to solve the problem myself then and there. The shock of
the fear of death drove my mind inwards and I said to myself mentally, without
actually framing the words: 'Now death has come; what does it mean? What is it
that is dying? This body dies.' And at once I dramatised the occurrence of
death. I lay with my limbs stretched out still as though rigor mortis has set
in, and imitated a corpse so as to give greater reality to the enquiry. I held
my breath and kept my lips tightly closed so that no sound could escape, and
that neither the word 'I' nor any word could be uttered. 'Well then,' I said to
myself, 'this body is dead. It will be carried stiff to the burning ground and
there burn and reduced to ashes. But with the death of the body, am I dead? Is
the body I? It is silent and inert, but I feel the full force of my personality
and even the voice of I within me, apart from it. So I am the Spirit
transcending the body. The body dies but the spirit transcending it cannot be
touched by death. That means I am the deathless Spirit.' All this was not dull
thought; it flashed through me vividly as living truths which I perceived
directly almost without thought process. I was something real, the only real
thing about my present state, and all the conscious activity connected with the
body was centered on that I. From that moment onwards, the I or Self focused
attention on itself by a powerful fascination. Fear of death vanished once and
for all. The ego was lost in the flood of Self-awareness. Absorption in the Self
continued unbroken from that time. Other thought might come and go like the
various notes of music, but the I continued like the fundamental sruti [that
which is heard] note which underlies and blends with all other notes."[12].
After this event, he lost interest in school-studies, friends, and relations.
Avoiding company, he preferred to sit alone, absorbed in concentration on the
Self, and went daily to the Meenakshi Temple, ecstatically devoted to the images
of the Gods, tears flowing profusely from his eyes.[13]
Venkataraman’s elder brother, Nagaswamy, was aware of a great change in him and
on several occasions rebuked him for his detachment from all that was going on
around him. About six weeks after Venkataraman’s absorption into the Self, on
August 29, 1896, he was attempting to complete a homework assignment which had
been given to him by his English teacher for indifference in his studies.
Suddenly Venkataraman tossed aside the book and turned inward in meditation. His
elder brother rebuked him again, asking, "What use is all this to one who is
like this?" Venkataraman did not answer, but recognized the truth in his
brother’s words[14].
The Journey to Arunachala
He decided to leave his home and go to Arunachala. Knowing his family would not
permit this, he slipped away, telling his brother he needed to attend a special
class at school. Fortuitously, his brother asked him to take five rupees and pay
his college fees on his way to school. Venkataraman took out an atlas,
calculated the cost of his journey, took three rupees and left the remaining two
with a note which read: "I have set out in quest of my Father in accordance with
his command. This (meaning his person) has only embarked on a virtuous
enterprise. Therefore, no one need grieve over this act. And no money need be
spent in search of this. Your college fee has not been paid. Herewith rupees
two."[15]
At about noon, Venkataraman left his uncle's house and walked to the railway
station. At about three o'clock the next morning, he arrived at Viluppuram and
walked into the town at daybreak. Tired and hungry, he asked for food at a hotel
and had to wait until noon for the food to be ready. He then went back to the
station and spent his remaining money on a ticket to Mambalappattu, a stop on
the way to Tiruvannamalai. From there, he set out, intending to walk the
remaining distance of about 30 miles (48 km).[10]
After walking about 11 miles (18 km), he reached the temple of Arayaninallur,
outside of which he sat down to rest. When the priest opened the temple for puja,
Venkataraman entered and sat in the pillared hall where he had a vision of
brilliant light enveloping the entire place. He sat in deep meditation after the
light disappeared until the temple priests who needed to lock up the temple
roused him. He asked them for food and was refused, though they suggested he
might get food at the temple in Kilur where they were headed for service.
Venkataraman followed, and late in the evening when the puja ended at this
temple, he asked for food and was refused again. When he asked for water, he was
directed to a Sastri’s house. He set out but fainted and fell down, spilling the
rice he had been given in the temple. When he regained consciousness, he began
picking up the scattered rice, not wanting to waste even a single grain.[16]
Muthukrishna Bhagavatar was amongst the crowd that gathered around Venkataraman
when he collapsed. He was so struck by Venkataraman’s extraordinary beauty and
felt such compassion for him that he led the boy to his house, providing him
with a bed and food. It was August 31, the Gokulastami day, the day of Sri
Krishna’s birth. Venkataraman asked Bhagavatar for a loan of four rupees on the
pledge of his ear-rings so that he could complete his pilgrimage. Bhagavatar
agreed and gave Venkataraman a receipt he could use to redeem his ear-rings.
Venkataraman continued on his journey, tearing up the receipt immediately
because he knew he would never have any need for the ear-rings.
On the morning of September 1, 1896, Venkataraman boarded the train and traveled
the remaining distance. In Tiruvannamalai he went straight to the temple of
Arunachaleswara. There, Venkataraman found not only the temple gates standing
open, but the doors to the inner shrine as well, and not a single person, even a
priest, was in the temple. He entered the sanctum sanctorum and addressed
Arunachaleswara, saying: "I have come to Thee at Thy behest. Thy will be done."
He embraced the linga in ecstasy. The burning sensation that had started back at
Madurai (which he later described as "an inexpressible anguish which I
suppressed at the time") merged in Arunachaleswara. Venkataraman was safely
home.[14]
Early Life at Arunachala
The first few weeks he spent in the thousand-pillared hall, but shifted to other
spots in the temple and eventually to the Patala-lingam vault so that he might
remain undisturbed. There, he would spend days absorbed in such deep samādhi
that he was unaware of the bites of vermin and pests. Seshadri Swamigal, a local
saint, discovered him in the underground vault and tried to protect him.[17]
After about six weeks in the Patala-lingam, he was carried out and cleaned up.
For the next two months he stayed in the Subramanya Shrine, so unaware of his
body and surroundings that food had to be placed in his mouth or he would have
starved.
From there, he was invited to stay in a mango orchard next to Gurumurtam, a
temple about a mile out of Tiruvannamalai, and shortly after his arrival a sadhu
named Palaniswami went to see him. Palaniswami's first darshan left him filled
with peace and bliss, and from that time on his sole concern was serving Sri
Ramana, joining him as his permanent attendant. From Gurumurtam to Virupaksha
Cave (1899-1916) to Skandasramam Cave (1916-22), he was the instrument of divine
protection for Sri Ramana, who would be without consciousness of the body and
lost in inner bliss most of the time. Besides physical protection, Palaniswami
would also beg for alms, cook and prepare meals for himself and Sri Ramana, and
care for him as needed[18].
Gradually, despite Sri Ramana's silence, austerities, and desire for privacy, he
attracted attention from visitors, and some became his disciples. Eventually,
his family discovered his whereabouts. First his uncle Nelliappa Iyer came and
pled with him to return home, promising that the family would not disturb his
ascetic life. Sri Ramana sat motionless and eventually his uncle gave up.[19] It
was at the temple at Pavalakkunru, one of the eastern spurs of Arunachala, that
his mother and brother Nagaswami found him in December 1898. Day after day his
mother begged him to return, but no amount of weeping and pleading had any
visible effect on him. She appealed to the devotees who had gathered around,
trying to get them to intervene on her behalf until one requested that Sri
Ramana write out his response to his mother.[20] He then wrote on a piece of
paper, "In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is
to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever
effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however
much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore
is to stay quiet." At this point his mother returned to Madurai saddened.[14]
Soon after this, in February 1899, Sri Ramana moved further up Arunachala where
he stayed briefly in Satguru Cave and Guhu Namasivaya Cave before taking up
residence at Virupaksha Cave for the next 17 years, using Mango Tree cave during
the summers (except for a six month period at Pachaiamman Koil during the plague
epidemic).[21]
In 1902, a government official named Sivaprakasam Pillai, with writing slate in
hand, visited the young Swami in the hope of obtaining answers to questions
about "How to know one's true identity". The fourteen questions put to the young
Swami and his answers were Sri Ramana's first teachings on Self-enquiry, the
method for which he became widely known, and were eventually published as 'Nan
Yar?', or in English, ‘Who am I?’.[22]
Several visitors came to him and many became his disciples. Kavyakantha Sri
Ganapati Sastri, a Vedic scholar of repute in his age, came to visit Sri Ramana
in 1907. After receiving instructions from him, he proclaimed him as Bhagavan
Sri Ramana Maharshi. Sri Ramana was known by this name from then on.[23]
Discovery by Westerners
It was in 1911 that the first westerner, Frank Humphreys, then a policeman
stationed in India, discovered Sri Ramana and wrote articles about him which
were first published in The International Psychic Gazette in 1913.[24] However,
Sri Ramana only became relatively well known in and out of India after 1934 when
Paul Brunton, having first visited Sri Ramana in January 1931, published the
book A Search in Secret India, which became very popular. Resulting visitors
included Paramahansa Yogananda, Somerset Maugham (whose 1944 novel The Razor's
Edge models its spiritual guru after Sri Ramana),[25] Mercedes de Acosta, Julian
P. Johnson, and Arthur Osborne. Sri Ramana's relative fame spread throughout the
1940s. However, even as his fame spread, Sri Ramana was noted for his belief in
the power of silence and his relatively sparse use of speech, as well as his
lack of concern for fame or criticism[26]. His lifestyle remained that of a
renunciate.
Mother's Arrival
In 1912, while in the company of disciples, he was observed to undergo about a
15 minute period where he showed the outward symptoms of death, which reportedly
resulted thereafter in an enhanced ability to engage in practical affairs while
remaining in Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi. In 1916 his mother Alagammal and younger
brother Nagasundaram joined Sri Ramana at Tiruvannamalai and followed him when
he moved to the larger Skandashram Cave, where Bhagavan lived until the end of
1922. His mother took up the life of a sannyasin, and Sri Ramana began to give
her intense, personal instruction, while she took charge of the Ashram kitchen.
Ramana's younger brother, Nagasundaram, then became a sannyasin, assuming the
name Niranjanananda, becoming known as Chinnaswami (the younger Swami).
During this period, Sri Ramana composed The Five Hymns to Arunachala, his magnum
opus in devotional lyric poetry. Of them the first is Akshara Mana Malai (the
Marital Garland of Letters). It was composed in Tamil in response to the request
of a devotee for a song to be sung while wandering in the town for alms. The
Marital Garland tells in glowing symbolism of the love and union between the
human soul and God, expressing the attitude of the soul that still aspires.[27]
Mother's Death
Beginning in 1920, his mother's health deteriorated. On the day of her death,
May 19, 1922, at about 8 a.m., Sri Ramana sat beside her. It is reported that
throughout the day, he had his right hand on her heart, on the right side of the
chest, and his left hand on her head, until her death around 8:00 p.m., when Sri
Ramana pronounced her liberated, literally, ‘Adangi Vittadu, Addakam’
(‘absorbed’). Later Sri Ramana said of this: "You see, birth experiences are
mental. Thinking is also like that, depending on sanskaras (tendencies). Mother
was made to undergo all her future births in a comparatively short time.".[28]
Her body was enshrined in a samadhi, on top of which a Siva lingam was installed
and given the name Mathrubutheswara [Siva manifesting as mother].[29] To
commemorate the anniversary of Ramana Maharshi's mother's death, a puja, known
as her Aradhana or Mahapooja, is performed every year at the Mathrubutheswara.
After this, Sri Ramana often walked from Skandashram to her tomb. Then in
December 1922, he came down from Skandashram permanently and settled at the base
of the Hill, where Sri Ramanasramam is still located today. At first, there was
only one hut at the samadhi, but in 1924 two huts, one opposite the samadhi and
the other to the north were erected.
The Later Years
The Sri Ramanasramam grew to include a library, hospital, post-office and many
other facilities. Sri Ramana displayed a natural talent for planning building
projects. Annamalai Swami gave detailed accounts of this in his
reminiscences.[30] Until 1938, Annamalai Swami was entrusted with the task of
supervising the projects and received his instructions from Ramana directly.
The 1940s saw many of Sri Ramana's most ardent devotees pass away. These
included Echamma (1945), attendant Madhavaswami (1946), Ramanatha Brahmachari
(1946), Mudaliar Granny and Lakshmi (1948).[31] Sri Ramana was noted for his
unusual love of animals and his assertion that liberation was possible for
animals too. On the morning of June 18, 1948, he realized his favorite cow
Lakshmi was near death. Just as he had with his own Mother, Sri Ramana placed
his hand on her head and over her heart. The cow died peacefully at 11:30 a.m.
and Sri Ramana later declared that the cow was liberated[32].
Sri Ramana was noted for his belief in the power of silence and relatively
sparse use of speech. He led a modest and renunciate life, and depended on
visitors and devotees for the barest necessities. However, a popular image of
him as a person who spent most of his time doing nothing except silently sitting
in samadhi is highly inaccurate, according to David Godman, who has written
extensively about Sri Ramana. According to Godman, from the period when an
Ashram began to rise around him after his mother arrived into his later years,
Sri Ramana was actually quite active in Ashram activities until his health
failed[33].
Final Years
In November 1948, a tiny cancerous lump was found on the Maharshi's arm and was
removed in February 1949 by the ashram doctor. Soon, another growth appeared,
and another operation was done by an eminent surgeon in March, 1949, with Radium
applied. The doctor told Sri Ramana that a complete amputation of the arm to the
shoulder was required to save his life, but he refused. A third and fourth
operation were performed in August and December 1949, but only weakened him.
Other systems of medicine were then tried; all proved fruitless and were stopped
by the end of March when devotees gave up all hope. During all this, Sri Ramana
reportedly remained peaceful and unconcerned. As his condition worsened, Sri
Ramana remained available for the thousands of visitors who came to see him,
even when his attendants urged him to rest. Reportedly, his attitude towards
death was serene. To devotees who begged him to cure himself for the sake of his
devotees, Sri Ramana is said to have replied "Why are you so attached to this
body? Let it go.", and "Where can I go? I am here."[13]
By April 1950, Sri Ramana was too weak to go to the hall, and visiting hours
were limited. Visitors would file past the small room where he spent his final
days to get one final glimpse. Swami Satyananda, the attendant at the time,
reports, "On the evening of 14 April 1950, we were massaging Sri Ramana's body.
At about 5 o'clock, he asked us to help him to sit up. Precisely at that moment
devotees started chanting 'Arunachala Siva, Arunachala Siva'. When Sri Ramana
heard this his face lit up with radiant joy. Tears began to flow from his eyes
and continued to flow for a long time. I was wiping them from time to time. I
was also giving him spoonfuls of water boiled with ginger. The doctor wanted to
administer artificial respiration but Sri Ramana waved it away. Sri Sri Ramana’s
breathing became gradually slower and slower and at 8:47 p.m. it subsided
quietly." Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French photographer, who had been staying
at the ashram for a fortnight prior to Sri Ramana’s passing, recounted the
event:
"It is a most astonishing experience. I was in the open space in front of my
house, when my friends drew my attention to the sky, where I saw a
vividly-luminous shooting star with a luminous tail, unlike any shooting star I
had before seen, coming from the South, moving slowly across the sky and,
reaching the top of Arunachala, disappeared behind it. Because of its
singularity we all guessed its import and immediately looked at our watches – it
was 8:47 – and then raced to the Ashram only to find that our premonition had
been only too sadly true: the Master had passed into parinirvana at that very
minute."[34]
Cartier-Bresson took some of the last photographs of Sri Ramana on April 4, and
went on to take pictures of the burial preparations. Reportedly, millions in
India mourned his passing. A long article about his death in the New York Times
concluded: "Here in India, where thousands of so-called holy men claim close
tune with the infinite, it is said that the most remarkable thing about Ramana
Maharshi was that he never claimed anything remarkable for himself, yet became
one of the most loved and respected of all."[35].

Sri Ramana's teachings about self-enquiry, the practice he is most widely
associated with, have been classified as the Path of Knowledge (Jnana marga)
among the Indian schools of thought. Though his teaching is consistent with and
generally associated with Hinduism, the Upanishads and Advaita Vedanta, there
are some differences with the traditional Advaitic school, and Sri Ramana gave
his approval to a variety of paths and practices from various religions.[5]
His earliest teachings are documented in the book Nan Yar?(Who am I?), first
written in Tamil. The original book was published by Sri Pillai,[36] although
the essay version of the book (Sri Ramana Nutrirattu) prepared by Sri Ramana is
considered definitive as unlike the original it had the benefit of his revision
and review. A careful translation with notes is available in English as 'The
Path of Sri Ramana, Part One' by Sri Sadhu Om, one of the direct disciples of
Sri Ramana. Selections from this definitive version follow[37]:
As all living beings desire to be happy always, without misery, as in the case
of everyone there is observed supreme love for one's self, and as happiness
alone is the cause for love, in order to gain that happiness which is one's
nature and which is experienced in the state of deep sleep where there is no
mind, one should know one's self. For that, the path of knowledge, the inquiry
of the form "Who am I?", is the principal means.
Knowledge itself is 'I'. The nature of (this) knowledge is
existence-consciousness-bliss.
What is called mind is a wondrous power existing in the Self. It projects all
thoughts. If we set aside all thoughts and see, there will be no such thing as
mind remaining separate; therefore, thought itself is the form of the mind.
Other than thoughts, there is no such thing as the world.
Of all the thoughts that rise in the mind, the thought 'I' is the first thought.
That which rises in this body as 'I' is the mind. If one enquires 'In which
place in the body does the thought 'I' rise first?', it will be known to be in
the heart [spiritual heart is 'two digits to the right from the centre of the
chest']. Even if one incessantly thinks 'I', 'I', it will lead to that place
(Self)'
The mind will subside only by means of the enquiry 'Who am I?'. The thought 'Who
am I?', destroying all other thoughts, will itself finally be destroyed like the
stick used for stirring the funeral pyre.
If other thoughts rise, one should, without attempting to complete them,
enquire, 'To whom did they arise?', it will be known 'To me'. If one then
enquires 'Who am I?', the mind (power of attention) will turn back to its
source. By repeatedly practising thus, the power of the mind to abide in its
source increases.
The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is
Self.
Self itself is the world; Self itself is 'I'; Self itself is God; all is the
Supreme Self (siva swarupam)
Sri Ramana warned against considering self-enquiry as an intellectual exercise.
Properly done, it involves fixing the attention firmly and intensely on the
feeling of 'I', without thinking. It is perhaps more helpful to see it as
'Self-attention' or 'Self-abiding' (cf. Sri Sadhu Om - The Path of Sri Ramana
Part I). The clue to this is in Sri Ramana's own death experience when he was
16. After raising the question 'Who am I?' he "turned his attention very keenly
towards himself" (cf. description above). Attention must be fixed on the 'I'
until the feeling of duality disappears.
Although he advocated self-enquiry as the fastest means to realization, he was
also known to have advised the practice of bhakti and self-surrender (to one's
Deity or Guru) either concurrently or as an adequate alternative, which would
ultimately converge with the path of self-enquiry.[38]
Sri Ramana's teachings and Advaita
Sri Ramana's teachings and the traditional Advaitic school of thought pioneered
by Sri Sankaracharya have many things in common. Sri Ramana often mentioned and
is known to have encouraged study of the following classical works: Ashtavakra
Gita, Ribhu Gita and Essence of Ribhu Gita, Yoga Vasista Sara,[39] Tripura
Rahasya[[40]], Kaivalya Navaneetam,[41] Advaita Bodha Deepika,[42] and Ellam
Ondre.[43] However, there are some practical differences with the traditional
Advaitic school, which recommends a negationist neti, neti (Sanskrit, "not
this", "not this") path, or mental affirmations that the Self was the only
reality, such as "I am Brahman" or "I am He", while Sri Ramana advocates the
enquiry "Nan Yar" (Tamil, "Who am I"). Furthermore, unlike the traditional
Advaitic school, Sri Ramana strongly discouraged most who came to him from
adopting a renunciate lifestyle.
To elaborate:
The traditional Advaitic (non-dualistic) school advocates "elimination of all
that is non-self (the five sheaths) until only the Self remains".[44] The five
kosas, or sheaths, that hide the true Self are: Material, Vital, Mental,
Knowledge, and Blissful.
Sri Ramana says "enquiry in the form 'Who am I' alone is the principal means. To
make the mind subside, there is no adequate means other than self-enquiry. If
controlled by other means, mind will remain as if subsided, but will rise
again"[45]
Teachers in his tradition
He considered his own guru to be the Self, in the form of the sacred mountain
Arunachala. Sri Ramana did not publicize himself as a guru, never claimed to
have disciples, and never appointed any successors. While a few who came to see
him are said to have become enlightened through association, and there are
accounts of private acknowledgements, he did not publicly acknowledge any living
person as liberated other than his mother at death. Sri Ramana declared himself
an atiasrama[46](beyond all caste and religious restrictions, not attached to
anything in life), and did not belong to or promote any lineage. Despite his
non-affiliations,[47] there are numerous contemporary teachers who publicly
associate themselves with Sri Ramana, and some who assert being in his lineage.
His method of teaching was characterized by the following:
He urged people who came to him to practice self-enquiry;
He directed people to look inward rather than seeking outside themselves for
Realization. ("The true Bhagavan resides in your Heart as your true Self. This
is who I truly am.");
He viewed all who came to him as the Self rather than as lesser beings. ("The
jnani sees no one as an ajnani. All are only jnanis in his sight.");
He charged no money, and was adamant that no one ever ask for money (or anything
else) in his name;
He never promoted or called attention to himself. Instead, Sri Ramana remained
in one place for 54 years, offering spiritual guidance to anyone of any
background who came to him, and asking nothing in return;
He considered humility to be the highest quality;
He said the deep sense of peace one felt around a jnani was the surest indicator
of their spiritual state, that equality towards all was a true sign of
liberation, and that what a true jnani did was always for others, not
themselves.
Notable followers
Over the course of Sri Ramana's lifetime, people from a wide variety of
backgrounds, religions, and countries were drawn to him. Some stayed for the
rest of their lives (or his) and served him with great devotion, and others came
for a single darshan and left, deeply affected by the peace he radiated.
Quite a number of followers wrote books conveying Sri Ramana's teachings. Sri
Muruganar (1893-1973), one of Sri Ramana's foremost devotees who lived as Sri
Ramana's shadow for 26 years,[48] recorded the most comprehensive collection of
Sri Ramana's sayings in a work called Guru Vachaka Kovai (The Garland of Guru's
Sayings).[49] Sri Ramana carefully reviewed this work with Sri Muruganar,
modifying many verses to most accurately reflect his teaching, and adding in
additional verses. Sri Muruganar was also instrumental in Sri Ramana's writing
of Upadesa Saram (The Essence of Instruction)[50] and Ulladu Narpadu (Forty
Verses on Reality).[51] Sri Sadhu Om (1922-1985)[52] spent five years with Sri
Ramana and about 28 years with Sri Muruganar. His deep understanding of Sri
Ramana's teachings on self-enquiry are explained in his book The Path of Sri
Ramana – Part One.[53] Suri Nagamma wrote a series of letters to her brother in
Telugu, describing Sri Ramana's conversations with devotees over a five year
period. Each letter was corrected by Sri Ramana before it was sent. Attendants
of Sri Ramana included Palaniswami (from 1897), Kunju Swami (from 1920), Madhava
Swami, Krishna Bhikshu and Annamalai Swami (from 1928).
Paul Brunton's writings about Sri Ramana brought considerable attention to him
in the West. Other Westerners who wrote about Sri Ramana include Arthur Osborne
(the first editor of the ashram journal, The Mountain Path), Major Chadwick (who
ran the Veda Patasala during Ramana's time), Ethel Merston, and S.S. Cohen. More
recently, David Godman, a former librarian at the ashram, has written about Sri
Ramana's teaching, as well as a series of books (The Power of the Presence)
vividly portraying the lives of a number of lesser-known attendants and devotees
of Sri Ramana. Swami Ramdas visited Ramana Maharshi while on pilgrimage in 1922,
and after darshan, spent the next 21 days meditating in solitude in a cave on
Arunachala. Thereafter, he attained the direct realization that "All was Rama,
nothing but Rama".[54]
Maurice Frydman (a.k.a. Swami Bharatananda) a Polish Jew who later translated
Nisargadatta Majaraj's work from Marathi to English called "I Am That" was also
deeply influenced by Sri Ramana's teachings.
The American yogi, Richard Hittleman, had Ramana Maharshi as his guru and
frequently spoke of him in his Yoga teachings. Hittleman went on to become the
first person to bring Hatha and Raja Yoga to the English-speaking world through
the medium of a television series (in the 1960s and 1970s)[55] Hittleman quoted
from Maharshi with great approbation in the last lecture that he (Hittleman)
gave, at the very end of his life.
Indian National Congress politician and freedom-fighter, O. P. Ramaswamy
Reddiyar, who served as the Premier of Madras from 1947 to 1949 was also a
devoted follower of Ramana Maharishi.

Ramana Maharhshi was a guru of international renown from southern India who
taught Meditation during the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in 1879 near
Madurai, Tamilnadu. His father was a farmer. He was the second of three sons.
The family was religious, giving ritual offerings to the family deity and
visiting temples. One unusual aspect of his family history was a curse that was
put on the family by a wandering monk who was refused food by a family member.
The monk decreed that in every generation, one child in the family would
renounce the world to lead a religious life.
Ramana was largely disinterested in school and absent-minded during work. He had
a marked inclination towards introspection and self-analysis. He used to ask
fundamental questions about identity, such as the question "who am I?". He was
always seeking to find the answer to the mystery of his own identity and
origins.
One peculiar aspect of Ramana's personality was his ability to sleep soundly. He
could be beaten or carried from one place to another while asleep, and would not
wake up. He was sometimes jokingly called "Kumbhakarna" after a figure in the
Ramayana who slept soundly for months.
In the summer of 1896, Ramana went into an altered state of consciousness which
had a profound effect on him. He experienced what he understood to be his own
death, and later returned to life. Satchidanand had the
same experience when he was 14 and it was after this he started to practise yoga
as a preparation for Meditation, meeting his spiritual masters and Enlightenment
He also had spontaneous flashes of insight where he perceived himself as an
essence independent of the body. During these events, he felt himself to be an
eternal entity, existing without reliance on the physical body or material
world.
Along with these intuitions came a fascination with the word "Arunachala" which
carried associations of deep reverence and a sense that his destiny was closely
intertwined with this unique sound. At the age of sixteen, Ramana heard that a
place called Arunachala actually existed (the modern town's name is
Tiruvannamalai) and this brought him great happiness.
Ramana was nearing the end of high school when a careless criticism describing
him as a person not fit to be a student jarred him into making a final decision
to leave school. He had been reading a book on famous Tamil saints and resolved
to leave home and lead the life of a religious seeker. Naturally, he planned to
go to Arunachala, the place which was the focal point of all his religious
ideals.
When he was seventeen years old, Ramama left for Arunachala, arriving after four
days of mostly train travel. He went directly to the central shrine at the
temple and addressed the Shiva symbol (linga) stating he had given up everything
and come to Arunachala in response to the god's call.
Ramana spent ten years living in temples and caves meditating, and pursuing
spiritual purification, keeping the disciplines of silence and non-attachment.
At this point, his reputation as a serious teacher (he was called Brahma Swami)
began to grow and other seekers began to visit him. His disciples, some of whom
were learned individuals, began to bring him sacred books. He became conversant
with the religious traditions of South India written in the different regional
languages.
Early disciples had a difficult time learning about Ramana's background and even
his native language because he was silent and refused to speak. As time passed
he ceased his ascetic phase and began to live a more normal life in an ashram
setting. Many people came to visit him with a variety of problems, from both
India and abroad.
Ramana's disciples constructed an ashram and temple, and space the accommodate
the many visitors. All ate the same food and Ramana sat with the rest of the
people during meals and did not expect special treatment. The ashram was a
sanctuary for animals and Ramana had great fondness for the cows, monkeys,
birds, and squirrels that inhabited the grounds.
Ramana continued to practice the method of inquiry - Vichara Meditation - into the nature of the self
best expressed by the question "who am I?".
Ramana was not a guru in the classic sense of a teacher who gives instruction on
a regular basis or gives mantras during initiation. In fact, if the seeker
wanted to practice repetition of a mantra rather than the "who am I?"
Vichara Meditation method of
self inquiry, he recommended repeating the pronoun "I" or the phrase "I am"
rather than repeating sacred Sanskrit words or the names of gods. This focused
the person's mind on "being itself" or the mystery of their own awareness rather
than an external object or word.
However, Ramana did give informal initiations using a special glance, or touch,
or in dreams. Lex Hixon writes:
... although the Guru , or teacher is within everyone as primal awareness, an
illuminated sage can push us in the direction he described as inward in the
sense of being more primary, or primal. Ramana could give this initiatory push
by touch or by glance. Seated in silence, he would suddenly turn, fix one with
an intense gaze, and the person would become directly aware of the right-hand
Heart (the spiritual center of one's awareness) and its vibrant current of
primal awareness. Those who experienced the power of Ramana's gaze have reported
that the initiation was so clear and vivid that they could never again seriously
doubt that the Guru was none other than their own primal conscious being.
(Coming Home, The Experience of Enlightenment in Sacred Traditions by Lex Hixon,
Jeremy P. Tarcher - Martin's Press, New York, 1989, p. 46)
Ramana also initiated people in dreams by gazing intently into their eyes, and
he would sometimes travel in the subtle body to visit people. There are many
reports and testimonials where he would appear to
a disciple hundreds of miles away as a luminous figure, and the person would
recognize his appearance in that form. He noted that one's waking life and one's
dream life were both a kind of dream each with different qualities of awareness.
He referred to them as "dream 1" and "dream 2". He therefore did not make a big
distinction between appearing to a waking disciple and a dreaming disciple since
he considered both spheres of existence to be dreams.
Ramana recommended renunciation of enjoyment of physical and mental pleasures as
a means of entering into a state where the oneness of the self and cosmos could
be perceived. He also felt that a person who is not attached to the results of
his actions can live in the world like an actor that plays his or her part but
is immune to emotional disturbance, because he realizes he is only play-acting
on the stage of life.
Ramana was able to demonstrate his own non-attachment when thieves broke into
the ashram and he counseled the disciples and visitors to let them have anything
they wanted. He remained calm during the incident even when struck by one of the
thieves. He also displayed no loss of equanimity at the death of his mother, who
had come to live at the ashram after selling the family home.
Ramana developed cancer and when his devotees voiced concern about losing him,
he responded with the statement "I am not going anywhere, where shall I go? I
shall be there where I am always." He died in April, 1950, sitting in lotus
position. The final word that passed from his lips was the sacred syllable OM.
The French photographer Cartier-Bresson was visiting Ramana's ashram as Ramana
neared death. He noted the following astronomical event which appeared in the
night sky over the sacred mountain Arunachala as Ramana died:
I saw a shooting star with a luminous tail unlike any I had ever seen before
moving slowly across the sky and reaching the top of Arunachala, the mountain,
disappearing behind it. We immediately looked at our watches. It was 8:47. We
raced to the ashram only to find that the master had passed in to Mahanirvana at
that exact minute. Nor was this experience only documented by a select few … All
the English and Tamil papers which arrived this morning from Madras referred to
the meteor which had been seen in the sky over the entire state of Madras at
8:47 on the night of April 14 by a large number of people in different places.
These eyewitnesses had been struck by its peculiar look and behavior.
Ramana who often circumambulated the sacred mountain as an act of worship seemed
to be making his final arc around the mountain as a blazing light in the night
sky.

Sri Ramana Gita
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
... just as the limb gives assistance to the body, likewise the member of
the community helps the community and reigns supreme.
It is said that a good brotherly feeling with a sense of equality is the
supreme goal to be reached collectively by all members of the community.
By happy fraternity amongst themselves, the embodied beings get the supreme
peace. Then all this earth shines like one house. When the men, the embodied
beings treat each other with equal respect and have good brotherly feelings
amongst themselves, great peace and harmony abound. Then all this earth
shines like one house. The whole world shines like the one dwelling house of
the entire human family.
[A member of the community] should conduct himself always by word, mind and
body in such a fashion that it results in help to the society. He should
also make his own men understand this.
Having set one's family in consonance with the community, he should make his
family prosperous to ensure the prosperity of the community.
Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the
community. Having established the community with power, one should then
establish supreme peace.
The Science of the Heart
Selected excerpts from Sri Ramana's volitional discourse on Hridaya Vidya
2. That, from where all the activities of the embodied beings emerge, is
mentioned as the heart. The description of its form is conceptual.
3. It is said that the I-activity is the root of all activities. From where
the I-thought emerges, that in short is the heart.
In the definition of the heart is placed as a corollary that the direct
Sadhana for knowing the heart is the tracking down to the origin of the
I-thought.
8. For one stationed in the Self, Sahasrara will be of pure effulgence.
There: if any mental formulation falls within its presence, it will not
live.
9. Even when the sensory objects to be known are in the proximity, when the
difference is not taken in, the mind does not cause a break in Yoga.
10. Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural
state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not
present.
11. The macrocosm is in its entirety in the body. The body is in its
entirety in the heart. Therefore heart is the summarised form of all the
macrocosm.
12. The world is none other than the mind. The mind is none other than the
heart. Therefore the entire story finishes in the heart.
13. It is said that the heart is in the microcosm just as the orb of the sun
in the macrocosm. The mind in Sahasrara is like the disc of the moon.
14. Just as the sun gives light to the moon this heart bestows the
effulgence on the mind.
15. As in the night when the sun is not present, one sees the light in the
moon, the man who is not present in the heart, sees merely the mind.
16. Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the
ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.
17. The Jnanin present in the heart sees the mind merged in the light of the
heart, like moonlight in the presence of the sun during the day.
18. The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning
of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is
none other than the heart.
19. This perception of division between the seer and the object that is
seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer
becomes one with the sight.
20. The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy,
grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.
21. During that time, the embodied person does not know the attainment in
the heart. It is known in the Samadhi. The difference in name is due to the
difference in cause.
Abide as the Self
True silence is really endless speech.
There is no greater mystery than this: being Reality ourselves, we seek to
gain Reality.
I want you to dive consciously into the Self, i.e., into the Heart.
Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The
paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon
the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal--an illusion--since it
rests upon paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.
Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death; remembrance of it is
rebirth
Truly there is no cause for you to be miserable and unhappy. You yourself
impose limitations on your true nature of infinite Being and then weep that
you are but a finite creature. Then you take up this or that sadhana to
transcend the nonexistent limitations. But if your sadhana itself assumes
the existence of the limitations, how can it help you to transcend them?
Hence I say know that you are really the infinite, pure Being, the Self
Absolute. You are always that Self and nothing but that Self. Therefore, you
can never be really ignorant of the Self; your ignorance is merely a formal
ignorance... Know then that true Knowledge does not create a new Being for
you; it only removes your "ignorant ignorance." Bliss is not added to your
nature; it is merely revealed as your true and natural state, eternal and
imperishable. The only way to be rid of your grief is to know and be the
Self.
Even if you try not to do your duty you will be perforce obliged to do it.
Let the body complete the task for which it came into being. Sri Krishna
also says in the Gita, whether Arjuna liked it or not he would be forced to
fight. When there is work to be done by you, you cannot keep away; nor can
you continue to do a thing when you are not required to do it, that is to
say, when the work allotted to you has been done. In short, the work will go
on and you must take your share in it -- the share which is allotted to you.
[Question: How can it be done? Reply:] Like an actor playing his part in a
drama: free from duality.
In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to
ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever
effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen,
however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom
therefore is to stay quiet.
Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like
trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on
stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other
activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance
of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be
always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.
We loosely talk of Self-realization, for lack of a better term. But how can
one realize or make real that which alone is real? All we need to do is to
give up our habit of regarding as real that which is unreal. All religious
practices are meant solely to help us do this. When we stop regarding the
unreal as real, then Reality alone will remain, and we will be That.
It is false to speak of realization. What is there to realize? The real is
as it is always. We are not creating anything new or achieving something
which we did not have before. The illustration given in books is this. We
dig a well and create a huge pit. The space in the pit or well has not been
created by us. We have just removed the earth which was filling the space
there. The space was there then and is also there now. Similarly we have
simply to throw out all the age-long sanskaras which are inside us. When all
of them have been given up, the Self will shine alone.
Relative knowledge pertains to the mind and not to the Self. It is therefore
illusory and not permanent. Take a scientist, for instance. He formulates a
theory that the Earth is round and goes on to prove it on an
incontrovertible basis. When he falls asleep the whole idea vanishes; his
mind is left a blank. What does it matter whether the world remains round or
flat when he is asleep? So you see the futility of all such relative
knowledge. One should go beyond relative knowledge and abide in the Self.
Real knowledge is such experience, and not apprehension by the mind.
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Why should you trouble yourself about the future? You do not even properly
know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care
of itself.
There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles
is the greatest impediment.
Ishta-devata and Guru are aids - very powerful aids on this path. But an aid
to be effective requires your effort also. Your effort is a sine qua non. It
is you who should see the sun. Can spectacles and the sun see for you? You
yourself have to see your true nature. Not much aid is required for doing
it!
Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know
whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who
conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
If one watches whence the notion ‘I’ arises, the mind gets absorbed there;
that is tapas. When a mantra is repeated, if one watches whence that mantra
sound arises, the mind gets absorbed there; that is tapas.
Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence.
Seek the seeker.
Self-Enquiry paraphrased, as spoken by Ram Dass in the film 'Abide as the
Self.'
Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and
intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast
rotating gyroscope.
In reference to an excerpt - "by his non-action, the sage governs all" -
from Lao Tze's Tao Te Ching.
The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man's real
nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man's search for
happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is
imperishable; therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which
does not come to an end.
Know Thyself. All else will be known to thee of its own accord. Discriminate
between the undying, unchanging, all-pervading, infinite Atma and the
ever-changing, phenomenal and perishable universe and body. Enquire, "Who am
I?" Make the mind calm. Free yourself from all thoughts other than the
simple thought of the Self or Atma. Dive deep into the chambers of your
heart. Find out the real, infinite "I". Rest there peacefully for ever and
become identical with the Supreme Self.
The Self is only one. Do you feel hurt if you blame yourself or scorn
yourself for your errors? If you hold the Self there is no second person to
scorn you. When you see the world you have lost hold of the Self. On the
contrary, hold the Self and the world will not appear.
In the Heart's cavity, the sole Brahman as an ever-persisting 'I' shines
direct in the form of the Self. Into the Heart enter thyself, with mind in
search or in deeper plunge. Or by restraint of life-movement be firmly
poised in the Self.
Biography
What message is needed when heart speaks to heart?
Reality in Fourty Verses
Under whatever name or form we worship It, It leads us on to knowledge of
the nameless, formless Absolute. Yet, to see one's true Self in the
Absolute, to subside into It and be one with It, this is the true Knowledge
of the Truth.
Quotes About Sri Ramana (see: Ramana Smriti)
Sri Ramana is a true son of the Indian earth. He is genuine and, in addition
to that, something quite phenomenal. In India he is the whitest spot in a
white space. What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the
purest of India; with its breath of world-liberated and liberating humanity,
it is a chant of millenniums...
Carl Jung in his foreward, 'Sri Ramana and his message to modern man', as
published in the book, The Spiritual Teaching of Ramana Maharshi
THE PATH TO SURRENDER
(From Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi in His Own Words: Last
chapter to the book Ramana Smriti)
There are only two ways to conquer destiny or to be independent of it. One
is to enquire whose this destiny is and discover that only the ego is bound
by it and not the Self, and that the ego is non-existent. The other way is
to kill the ego by completely surrendering to the Lord, realizing one's
helplessness and saying all the time, 'Not I, but Thou, oh Lord', giving up
all sense of 'I' and 'mine' and leaving it to the Lord to do what he likes
with you.
Surrender can never be regarded as complete so long as the devotee wants
this or that from the Lord. True surrender is the love of God for the sake
of love and nothing else, not even for the sake of salvation. In other
words, complete effacement of the ego is necessary to conquer destiny,
whether you achieve this effacement through Self-enquiry or through bhakti
marga. The spark of spiritual knowledge (jnana) will consume all creation.
Since all the countless worlds are built upon the weak or non-existent
foundation of the ego, they all disintegrate when the atom-bomb of knowledge
falls on them.
All talk of surrender is like stealing sugar from a sugar image of Ganesha
and then offering it to the same Ganesha. You say that you offer up your
body and soul and all your possessions to God, but were they yours to offer?
At best you can say, 'I wrongly imagined till now that all these, which are
Yours, were mine. Now I realise that they are Yours and shall no longer act
as though they were mine'. And this knowledge that there is nothing but God
or Self, that 'I' and 'mine' do not exist and that only the Self exists is
jnana. It is enough that one surrenders oneself.
Surrender is giving oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not
delude yourself by imagining this source to be some God outside you. One's
source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should
seek the source and merge in it. Because you imagine yourself to be out of
it, you raise the question, 'Where is the source'?
Some contend that just as sugar cannot taste its own sweetness and that
there must be someone to taste and enjoy it, so an individual cannot both be
the Supreme and also enjoy the bliss of that state; therefore the
individuality must be maintained separate from the Godhead in order to make
enjoyment possible. But is God insentient like sugar? How can one surrender
oneself and yet retain one's individuality for supreme enjoyment?
Furthermore they also say that the soul, on reaching the divine region and
remaining there, serves the Supreme Being. Can the sound of the word
'service' deceive the Lord? Does He not know? Is He waiting for these
people's services? Would He not – the Pure Consciousness – ask in turn, 'Who
are you apart from Me that presume to serve Me'?

DEVI AND FRIEND AT THE TAJ MAHAL
My journey to India was not only a
journey halfway round the world, it was also a journey deep within myself. Each ashram had
a powerful energy which had a sometimes intense effect on my emotions.
At
Ramana Maharshi Ashram I felt as
though layers of protection that I had used defensively were being taken away and my heart
felt more open.
At father Bede Griffiths Ashram I remembered past traumas and worked through the pain. I gained a deeper insight into myself and my relationships with others.
At
Sai Babas ashram I felt a gentle
heart energy. The time spent there was a time of reflection. It enabled me to really focus
on what I need from my life and relationships and how I can expand myself and grow
further.
During the tour I found that having time to meditate every day was invaluable. I was able to be more in contact with my Inner self. A space where peace reigned and where wisdom and guidance can pour forth.
At times I was
able to write down this guidance to help me in the future. The meditations and Energy Work
gave me an insight into my emotional and physical wellbeing, how the two things are
interconnected and which areas I need to work on. I now have a range of practises to take
to England.
I feel as though I have grown through my
experiences in India. In particular I feel more comfortable with my femininity and can now
see how a women can be a powerful person without having to be like a man.
Devi Dhyani has been an important role model for me. During the tour Devi and Satchidanand were always available to talk to and healing was freely given when I needed it. I felt supported, safe, and looked after by both Devi and Satchidanand during the tour.
The tour has been a time for releasing the pain, introspection, and self realisation. I feel as though it has been a vital part of my growth. I wouldn't have missed one minute of it !
(The last time we heard, several years ago Jo was the Head Teacher of an Osho School in England - Osho Ko Hsuan School, Devon)
SUSAN SEES RAMANA!!
From Devi and Sat I have gained Support, friendship, healing and guidance in contacting our source of inner wisdom through the release of old patterns of behaviour - daily practice of meditation and Energy Work.
From the Energy Work I got the importance
of daily routine of meditation - time to be alone and get in contact with my higher self,
also tune into my thought system and experience how I really feel about issues affecting
my life eg. Trust - I find it hard to form close friendships through lack of trust,
opening myself up may result in pain. Learning to take risks, trust in guidance from my
higher self. If I do experience pain in any relationship - what lessons can I learn from
this pain - see it as a teaching/growth experience rather than negative experience which
reconfirms to my darker side Just can't trust anybody - told you so!
Hatha yoga - gentle form of yoga which
allows you to proceed at your own pace - awareness of stiffness/pain of body joints.
Correct breathing into the pain allows the body to relax and the pain to leave - allowing
you to master the pain with awareness rather than give up. The chanting was good. I have
felt a fire in the heart and heat in the spine after chanting with Devi and Sat in Sai
Babas Ashram.
The Ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi
embraced me with love, gentleness and feeling of inner peace. On walking up the steps into
the cave of Ramana Maharshi I was embraced by strong energy - a welcome energy. During
meditating in his room (in the cave) I had a strong vision of him entering my forehead. He
(Ramana Maharshi) told me it was time to go home to New Zealand. The vision has reappeared to bring
me support during periods of deep inner pain experienced throughout the tour.
In the Ashram of Father Bede Griffiths I felt strong presence of spiritual energy. The lectures from
brother Martin about looking at life and teachings of Christs message through love and not
fear, as man likes to believe, has allowed me, as a Catholic, to respect Christs teaching
and see him as a teacher of love and wisdom. Happiness is here to obtain in this life, not
the next.
Ashram of Sai Baba - Opening of my heart
Chakra.
During a healing session with Devi and Satchidanand, a person who wronged me,
raped me, 22 years ago,
leaving me with pain and guilt and causing me to leave my home in New Zealand to
work as a nurse in the UK, came through Satchidanand in a healing session to say he was sorry for the
grief he had caused. This has helped me to release a lot of pent up tension, anger guilt,
pain. To be asked for forgiveness awakens the part of you that would like to be forgiven
for the times I have wronged people - to look at the areas in my life I need to resolve
before I get a true picture of my inner qualities, strengths, accepting guidance within.
The power of forgiveness and to forgive is a very strong quality to possess, a wonderful friend to have.

When I, Satchidanand, was talking to the famous Benedictine Monk, Father Bede Griffiths, Head of the Ashram of Shantivanam on the Banks of the River Cauvery in Tamil Nadu, Southern India, he said that each Saint who has come to Earth to create a Religion has brought a Revelation, A Special Teaching, a precious Jewel to the Earth for the benefit of Humanity. Such is the competition between religions is that some of these precious jewels have been destroyed of lost.
Any person who has arrived. Any person who has cleaned the Insane Mind. Any person who has become Enlightened has entered into the Presence, that moment of NOW! and thus has gained Fire, that Buddhafield which can dissolve the Body of Pain In You which has created the Insane Mind which is Draining you of Life Energy just as it is Poisoning and Destroying the Earth.

This technique of Energy Circulation (EE Initiation 2) and Grounding (EE Initiation Three) is referred to in the 12 Labours of Hercules. Ancient teachings in the form of stories which enable "The Son (Hercules) of God (Zeus)" to get married to the daughter of the king of the underworld.
To integrate the Crown Chakra with the Base Chakra or how to become Enlightened.
All ancient myths refer to hidden levels of meditation.
Throughout history, simple stories and symbols containing many levels of meaning have usually not been destroyed by the prevalent Religion as have been the competing religions temples and texts. In particular The Herculean Labour of the cleaning of the Augean stables refers to the cleaning of the Base Chakra with a River of Energy.
The Fifth labour of Hercules. Exerpt from the E-Book -The Energy Enhancement Book, available by download.
In the past, psychologists have only worked on one painful experience at a time by providing a meaningful theory by Freud or Jung and then examining the problem. Through understanding the problem, it is released and the client adjusted back into society in his proper place. He may still be neurotic because only one problem has been solved.
The same with ancient lives. We may travel back to, see and fix one life problem in one of our past lives, but what about the other thousands of life-times, each with their own traumas, deaths and problems.
Energy Enhancement Techniques teaches how to remove All of the traumas, deaths and problems as simple negative energy. You do not have to see the problems.
They are simply grounded as Negative energy.
Learn how to simply, "Ground the last dregs of your VITRIOL!"
THE FIFTH LABOUR OF HERCULES
There is an ancient Greek myth about Hercules, (a Son of God, Zeus), wanting to marry Persephone the Daughter of the King of the underworld. The Crown Chakra wanting to combine with the Base Chakra. Shiva combining with Shakti. A Human Being becoming Enlightened.
He needed to ask her father's permission. When he did, her father was pleased to marry his daughter to the son of Zeus, but first he must perform 12 tasks. The 12 labours of Hercules.
The fifth task was to clean out the Kings stables - The Augean stables. Hercules said, "No Problem," but when he saw the stables, he realised what a mountainous task he had taken on.
There were thousands of horses and they had been creating manure for hundreds of years.
Just like we, ourselves, create and absorb pain and Karma over thousands of lifetimes.
At first, he tried to dig the manure, examining every turd. Just like the psychologists and past life therapists of today. But after one month he had got nowhere. He had only cleared a small hole in a mountain of shit.
After much thought, he then projected to change the course of the river Styx, the river we cross when we die, through the stables. When he did this, the stables were quickly cleaned as the river washed all the manure away.
Deep Rivers of Energy lie hidden deep within us.
As we learn to access and then to use them. So, All our History. All our pain can be dissipated and washed away.

ENERGY ENHANCEMENT ON THE COSTA BRAVA
Dearest Satchi and Devi,
It has been almost five months since I said good-bye in the airport in Crete.
There are several bits of writing that I owe you and that will come your way eventually. I am in transition between my touring job and my theatre camp. Now that I am done with the tour I have had a few minutes to reflect on what I brought away with me from Greece. (Please feel free to use this as a testimonial.)
When I went looking for an intensive yoga or dance training program one year ago
I hoped that I would be able to direct my life down a more positive path, learn to focus my emotions in a positive way, learn to use my empathy as a tool and not as a crutch, improve my physical health, and refine my yoga teaching skills.
I accomplished all of those things with you! While I feel a little half baked on some points I can safely say that the test drive of 5 months on the road has proved the difference in my interaction with the world.
I can only imagine that, had I been able to spend the entire 9 months with you this year I would feel even more solid in the skills I have learned.
When I decided to fly half way around the world to study for 9 months with people I had never met before, or even talked to on the phone, my friends said I was a little crazy but encouraged me to follow my heart. (Thank goodness I have open-minded friends.)
My gut instinct told me that you were both good people and that you would help me with my goals. Here is my advice to anyone who is unsure if it is wise to fly half way around the world to join you:
DO IT!
You are two of the most compassionate and supportive people I know. You challenged me exactly the way I needed to be challenged.
When I look back on my time with you I often tell people that I flew half way around the world to be with my parents.
While I mean this factiously because of your similarities to my parents in your effect on me I also mean that.....
You stirred as much change in me as someone a close as a parent can.
I just want to emphasize that my goals for my training with your, despite it being shorter than expected, were met. I know that there is more work to be done but I am thrilled with the results.
I am in the process of putting together the next year for myself. Where will you be January through May?
Much love, light and learning,
Arwen

Here is a Testimonial about our Three Level Energy Enhancement Course over One Month With MS, Human Resources Director Europe/Asia of a large Fortune 500 US Multinational Company
Looking for a way to spend a productive month in beautiful surroundings with great people?
Well I'm very happy to recommend Energy Enhancement run by SOL in Spain and to be specific Satchidanand and Devi Dhyani.
Initially I was looking for some Yoga and meditation to mark a significant change in my life and to enhance my general health and wellbeing.
By accident I came across the SOL Web site over a year ago and just noted it - made a few enquiries and did nothing other than to file it for future reference.
One year later I called to follow up and arranged to come and do the full Energy Enhancement programme for 4 weeks.
I was not sure
if this was wise, as I knew nothing other than what I had read on the web site and the testimonials, which I was a bit sceptical about!
However, I am now adding my own because if you read this you might be a bit like me.
Don't hesitate - go for it!

Since that time I am always connected to and able to source the white light from above my head. Many times during this process I just forget to breathe as though my breathing is just naturally suspended. I am now living in the Light!!
My energies are naturally
far higher than when I arrived on the Energy Enhancement course just two
weeks ago. I am experiencing the fruits of meditation which normally arrive,
if they do, after twenty years of meditation and it has only taken me two
weeks.
This is the first meditation course I have been on. I have an injured knee
from a few months ago in a motor cycle accident, yet the knee is now healed of
its blockages and of its pain here on the Energy Enhancement Course and I am sitting in
meditation for more than three hours a day, on the ground in the easy
meditation posture, here in the light and working on more of my deep
internal blockages.
Truly, perhaps Enlightenment is next!!

Devi is pure magic.
She said I just know where the point is. I can just see it, and when she treated it our client felt a terrible pain where Devi was touching her on the feet.
The Pains at the back of the heart now were completely gone!
Devi used the light puncture and the Techniques of Energy Enhancement to ground all the negative energy in the point on the feet. It took her five minutes and after that treatment there was no more pain in the point of the feet and the pains on either side of the abdomen had also disappeared. Where did it go to?
https://www.energyenhancement.org/page17.htm
Pain is due to an energy blockage.
Devi searching for the reason of the pain in the back of the Heart found the Wood Meridian was not working, so she used the Metal Meridian to remove it.
She treated the pain in the back with the light crystal color puncture the point was just right because the pain was sharp even when was not any force in the application of the crystal light puncture and after the wood meridian started to work she started to treat the Bladder Meridian with the Earth Meridian to made disappear the pain in the back and so it did.
The Pains at the back of the heart now were completely gone!

So, what did we get? I can say that practicing the technique of Stage 4 of Level One of Energy Enhancement with Devi and Satchy gave more power to the top down approach of Meditation. I had an experience of the MAGIC!! that I so longed for in my meditation.
Sitting in the flame of Kundalini and seeing my karma burn up was a POWERFUL experience.

SUFI STORIES, THE SUFI ANCIENT, JUNAID, TAUGHT BY DEMONSTRATION . BY EXPERIENCE!!
THE SUFI ANCIENT, JUNAID, TAUGHT BY DEMONSTRATION, THROUGH A METHOD IN WHICH HE ACTUALLY LIVED THE PART WHICH HE WAS TRYING TO ILLUSTRATE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:
ONCE HE WAS FOUND BY A NUMBER OF SEEKERS, SITTING SURROUNDED BY EVERY
IMAGINABLE LUXURY.
THESE PEOPLE LEFT HIS PRESENCE AND SOUGHT THE HOUSE OF A MOST AUSTERE AND
ASCETIC HOLY MAN, WHOSE SURROUNDINGS WERE SO PLAIN THAT HE HAD NOTHING BUT A MAT
AND A JUG OF WATER.
THE SPOKESMAN OF THE SEEKERS SAID, 'YOUR SIMPLE MANNERS AND AUSTERE ENVIRONMENT
ARE MUCH MORE TO OUR LIKING THAN THE GARISH AND SHOCKING EXCESSES OF JUNAID, WHO
SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED HIS BACK UPON THE PATH OF TRUTH.'
THE ASCETIC HEAVED A GREAT SIGH AND STARTED TO WEEP.
'MY DEAR FRIENDS, SHALLOWLY INFECTED BY THE OUTWARD SIGNS WHICH BESET MAN AT
EVERY TURN,' HE SAID, 'KNOW THIS, AND CEASE TO BE UNFORTUNATES! THE GREAT JUNAID
IS SURROUNDED AT THIS MOMENT BY LUXURY BECAUSE HE IS IMPERVIOUS TO LUXURY. AND I
AM SURROUNDED BY SIMPLICITY BECAUSE I AM IMPERVIOUS TO SIMPLICITY.'
It has two dimensions to it. One is political, the other is religious.
The political dimension is that the society can be improved, that revolution
can help, that there is a utopia that can be realised. Because of this,
politicians have been able to torture, to murder, to exploit, to oppress. And
people have suffered in the hope that revolution is going to happen. That
revolution never happens. Revolutions come and go and society remains as it has
always been.
Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, can exploit people for their own sake. And if you want
to get to the utopia, to the wonderland, to paradise, you obviously have to pay
for it. This is the secular dimension of the myth -- that something better is
possible. Right now it is not there, but some day it can be -- you have to
sacrifice for it. Millions of people were killed in Soviet Russia, tortured
inhumanly, for their own good. And logic says that if you want to have a better
society, who is going to pay for it? You are going to pay for it, naturally. So
the people cannot even revolt, they cannot even resist. If they resist, they
look like enemies of the revolution. And the myth is so deep-rooted in the mind
that they accept all kinds of humiliations in the hope that maybe if they cannot
live in a golden age, their children will. This is the secular direction of the
same neurosis.
The religious dimension is that you can have a better future -- if not in this
life, then in the next. Of course, you have to sacrifice. If you sacrifice the
present, you will have the future.
That future never comes. The future in itself cannot come. The tomorrow is not
possible, it is always today. It is always the present that is there. The future
is just in the mind, in the imagination. It is a dream; it is not part of
reality.
The political myth has been taken up by the sadists -- those who want to
torture others. and the religious myth has been taken up by the masochists --
those who want to torture themselves. Torture yourself. Fast. Don't sleep. Don't
do this. Don't do that. This is the whole secret of the so-called ascetic
attitude towards life: torture yourself. And naturally, your body is helpless,
your body is defenceless. It cannot protest. It cannot go against you.
There is a possibility that people may revolt against the politicians, but what
is the possibility that your body may revolt .against you? There is no
possibility. The body is very innocent, helpless. You can go on torturing it and
you can go on feeling that you have immense power because you can torture it.
You can go on killing it, and feel powerful. And you can attain to a great ego.
I here are two kinds of people in the world: the sadists and the masochists.
Sadists are those whose enjoyment consists of torturing others, and masochists
are those whose enjoyment consists of torturing themselves -- but it is the same
violence, it is the same aggression. The sadist throws it on somebody else; the
masochist turns it upon himself. Because the sadist throws it on others, sooner
or later they will revolt. But when the masochist throws it upon himself there
is nobody to revolt.
In fact, all revolutionaries; once they are in power, by and by lose respect.
Sooner or later they are dethroned; sooner or later their power is destroyed;
sooner or later they are thought to be criminals. Your whole history consists of
these criminals. Your history is not the history of humanity because it is not
the history of humanness. How can it be the history of humanity? It is not the
history of humanity, it is only the history of politics, political conflicts,
struggles, wars.
It is as it you write the history of robbers and murderers and you call it the
history of humanity. The revolutionaries are great murderers, they are no
ordinary murderers -- otherwise they would have been in the jail or sentenced to
death. They are powerful people. They possess power. Until their power goes,
they are worshipped like God. But their power goes sooner or later. A day comes
when Hitler is no longer honoured; he becomes an ugly dirty name. A day comes
when Stalin is no longer honoured. Just the reverse happens.
But with the other dimension, the religious dimension, of the myth -- the
ascetic, the self-torturer, the masochist -- people never come to know their
reality because they never torture anybody else. They torture only themselves.
And people go on respecting them. People respect them very much because they are
not harmful to anybody except to themselves. That is their business. The
ascetics have always been worshipped. But ascetism is a kind of neurosis; it is
not normal.
To eat too much is abnormal; to fast is also abnormal. the right amount of food
is normality. To be in the middle is to be normal. To be exactly in the middle
is to be healthy and whole and holy.
If you go to one extreme, you become a politician. If you go to the other
extreme, you become a religious fanatic, an ascetic. Both have missed balance.
So the first thing to be understood is that the religion that we are creating
here -- and it has to be created again and again because it becomes corrupted
again and again -- the religion that we are invoking here is not political and
is not in the ordinary sense even religious. It is neither sadistic nor
masochistic. It is normal. It is to be in the middle.
And what is the way to be in the middle? The way to be in the middle is to be
in the world but not to be of it. To be in the middle means to live in the world
but not to allow the world to live in you. To be exactly in the middle and to be
balanced means you are a witness to all that happens to you. Witnessing is the
only foundation for a real authentic religion. Whatsoever is, has to be
witnessed -- joyfully, ecstatically. Nothing has to be denied and rejected. All
denial, all rejection, will keep you in limits and you will remain in conflict.
Everything has to be accepted as it is.
And you have to be a watcher. Pleasure comes -- watch. Pain comes -- watch.
Neither be disturbed by pleasure nor be disturbed by pain. Let your calm remain
unperturbed. Let your silence, your tranquillity, remain undisturbed. Pain will
come and go and pleasure will come and go. Success will come and go and failure
will come and go. And soon you will come to understand the point that it is only
you who remains. That is eternal. This witnessing is eternal.
The contents that flow in the consciousness are temporary. One moment they are
there, another moment they are gone. Don't be worried about them; don't be
either in favour of them or against them. Don't try to possess them, don't hold
onto them, because they are going to go. They have to go. It is the very nature
of things that they cannot be permanent.
Something pleasant is happening. It cannot be permanent. It will have to go.
And following it, something unpleasant is already getting ready to happen. It is
the rhythm of life -- day and night, life and death, summer and winter. The
wheel goes on moving.
Don't hold on and don't try to make something very, very permanent. It is not
possible. The more you try, the more frustrated you will become, because it
cannot be done. And when it cannot be done, you feel defeated. You feel defeated
because you have not understood one simple thing: nothing can be static. Life is
a flux. Only one thing is eternally there and that is your consciousness, that
innermost watcher.
Sufis call it 'the watcher on the hills'. The valleys go on changing but the
watcher remains on the top of the hill. Sometimes the valley is dark and
sometimes the valley is light and sometimes there is dancing and singing and
sometimes there is weeping and crying -- and the watcher sits on the hill-top
and just goes on watching.
By and by the content of consciousness does not matter Only consciousness
becomes significant. That is the essential foundation of all true religion. And
this is the understanding of the Sufis.
Before we enter into this small parable today. Let me tell you that there are
four ways to approach truth, to be connected with truth.
The first is known in the East as KARMA yoga -- the way of action. Man has
three dimensions in him: action, knowing, feeling. So three ways use these three
directions: action, knowing feeling. You can act, and you can act with total
absorption, and you can offer your act to God. You can act without becoming a
doer. That is the first way -- KARMA yoga: being in action without being a doer.
You let God do. You let God be in you. You efface yourself.
In this, the path of action, consciousness changes the content. These two
things have to be understood: consciousness and content. This is all that your
life consists of. There is something which is the knower in you and something
which is the known. For example, you are listening to me. Now two things are
there: whatsoever I am saying will be the content, and whatsoever you are
inside, listening, watching, that is the consciousness. You are looking at me.
Then my figure in your eyes is the content and you, who are looking at that
figure in the eye, are consciousness -- the object and the subject.
On the path of action, consciousness changes the content That is what action
is. You see a rock. Somebody may stumble upon it -- because it is getting dark,
night is falling. so you remove the rock from the path. This is action. What
have you done? Consciousness has changed the content.
On the path of action, content is important and has to be changed. If somebody
is ill and you go and serve him and you give him medicine, you are changing the
content. If somebody has fallen in the river and is drowning, you jump in and
you save him from drowning. You have changed the content.

Take your time, this site has much new wonderful information. |
Now this story.
THE SUFI ANCIENT, JUNAID, TAUGHT BY DEMONSTRATION...
Sufis always teach by demonstration. There is no better way. So it always
happens that when outsiders come to a Sufi Master, they are always puzzled --
because they cannot understand what is happening. They don't know the whole
story. They only take the fragment that is in front of their eyes. It may be a
demonstration. It may be something in which the disciples and the Master know
what is going on.
Gurdjieff used to do that. And outsiders were always puzzled. And there are
hundreds of books written on Gurdjieff by outsiders. Naturally they are all
against him, because they don't know the whole story. It is only possible for
art, insider to know the whole story.
For example, if you had suddenly reached Gurdjieff, you might have been
surprised. He might have been shouting -- humiliating somebody, using abusive
words. He was a past master in using abusive words. And when he was in a rage,
he was really in a rage -- it was as if he was going to murder.
If you saw it, naturally you would wonder what kind of Master he was. He did
not seem to be at all enlightened -- because you have a certain idea about
enlightenment: that the Master will be such and such. He should fulfil your
expectation. But Masters don't exist to fulfil your expectations. They have
something else far more important to do than to go on fulfilling your
expectations. They are not here for that kind of work. They are not asking for
your respect or for any respectability. They are not bothered by public opinion;
they are not asking for your vote. They are doing something which is immense,
which is possible to understand only when you are an insider.
The insider knows on whom Gurdjieff is throwing all kinds of abuse. He knows --
or maybe in some moments he knows and in some moments he also misses. There are
some moments when you will feel, 'What kind of man is this? Why is he abusing me
so hard? What have I don?' You may have done a very small wrong, negligible, and
he is being mad out of all proportion -- as if you have committed a sin.
Sometimes even the insider may miss. But the insider will be able to remember.
Gurdjieff has said, 'You have to be watchful. I will provoke you. I will provoke
you in many ways, so that you can lose your watchfulness.'
Now something is transpiring between Gurdjieff and his disciple. You as an
outsider will miss it. He is not in rage. The rage is just acting, and the
disciple is being provoked into being angry. If the disciple gets angry, he
misses the point. He loses an opportunity. If the disciple remains calm and
quiet, watchful; does not allow the content to change this consciousness; and
does not try in any way to change Gurdjieff and his behaviour -- that is
consciousness trying to change the content.... The content is there -- Gurdjieff
is mad. So okay, Gurdjieff is mad. And one is there watching -- neither the
consciousness is affecting the content nor the content is affecting the
consciousness. And you cannot deceive Gurdjieff -- because a slight change in
your consciousness and your whole behaviour changes. Your face changes, your
aura changes, your energy pattern changes -- you are no longer the same person.
If the disciple can remain undisturbed, unperturbed, can remain as he was
before Gurdjieff started going into this rage, he has taken one step into the
inner journey. He has come closer to the Master.
But it will be difficult for people who come from the outside. If you had gone
to Gurdjieff.... It was a rare phenomenon. Every night he would invite all his
disciples. The whole community would gather together. And there would be eating
and drinking -- so much that anybody from the outside would think that these
people were just mad. What were they doing? And Gurdjieff would go on forcing
people to eat and to drink. He would force people to drink so much alcohol that
you would think that this was an epicurean phenomenon. What kind of religion was
this? Just eat, drink, and be merry? And that too was going to extremes. And
Gurdjieff was very insistent about going on drinking. He himself used to drink
as much as a man could drink, but he was never drunk. That was the whole point.
He would tell the disciple to drink.
And there comes a point when you lose control. Immediately your reality comes
up, surfaces. You can never see the real person unless he is drunk. People have
repressed themselves so much that only alcohol can bring them up from their
repressions. It was one of the greatest experiments ever done by any Master.
In the East we know it has been done by tantricas down the ages, but Gurdjieff
was the first man to do it in the West. Whenever he saw that a disciple had
drunk too much and had come to his reality -- that now he was no longer the same
person that he was pretending to be -- then he would watch. Now he could be
helpful. Now he knew your unconscious. What psycho-analysis does in years, he
did in one day. Psychoanalysis goes on poking you to bring your unconscious up.
The psychoanalyst will sit, day in and day out, by the side of the couch and
listen to all kinds of nonsense and rubbish, for years -- just to help you to go
on throwing out rubbish. By and by the real will start-coming up. When the top
rubbish is thrown out, then the inner rubbish-will start coming up. But it takes
years.
Gurdjieff used to do it in a master-stroke, in a single day. The first day the
disciple was there, the first initiation would be through alcohol. The Master
wants to know the unconscious immediately because there the real work is to be
done. He does not want to waste time with the conscious personality. That is a
-mask. Once he has known, then there will be no need. But he will take you into
deep drunkenness.
Now, if somebody comes from the outside -- the so-called religious people --
they will be puzzled, very puzzled. What is happening! If somebody comes who has
been tasting. Gurdjieff will give him too much to eat, and if somebody comes who
has been eating too much, he will put him on a fast. He will disturb your old
patterns, because when patterns are disturbed, your reality comes up. It is like
changing gears. When you change one gear to another, just in the middle you have
to pass through the neutral.
If a man -- for example, a Jaina -- has never eaten meat in his whole life and
he goes to Gurdjieff, Gurdjieff will force him to eat meat. This is destroying
his whole personality. For fifty years he has not eaten, neVer touched, maybe
has never seen, meat. Now his whole personality will revolt. He will feel
nauseous. The very idea may be nauseous.
My own grandmother, when she was alive, would not even allow tomatoes in the
house because they looked like meat. That was her idea. Tomatoes -- such
innocent people! They were not allowed in the home.
So if a person who has not even eaten tomatoes is forced to eat meat, you can
understand what turmoil the Master is throwing him into. He is putting him
upside-down. it will really be a destruction of all his patterns. He will vomit,
he will fall ill, he may have fevers, he may have nightmares -- but this will
destroy all his learned patterns and he will become again a child. And from
there work can start.
If a man has been eating meat, drinking, Gurdjieff will put him on vegetable
food. He will tell him not to drink at all. He will make him a vegetarian, a
teetotaller -- he will force him to be as holy as possible. The technique is the
same -- to disturb the past, to put things upside-down so that the facade no
longer functions and the mask can be removed and the reality can be seen.
A Master has to put his disciples into their childhood again because from there
they have been distracted. Somebody has become a Mohammedan, somebody has become
a Hindu, somebody has become a Christian -- from that moment they have been
distracted. The Master has to put them back into their childhood so another kind
of life, another kind of reality, starts growing.
THE SUFI ANCIENT, JUNAID, TAUGHT BY DEMONSTRATION, THROUGH A METHOD IN WHICH HE
ACTUALLY LIVED THE PART WHICH HE WAS TRYING TO ILLUSTRATE. THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE....
He will live the part that he is going to illustrate. But how can an outsider
know it -- know what is going on? It is a drama. It is a psychodrama. Only the
people who are inside, who know the inside information -- what is going on --
will be able to see. Even they may miss many times. Suspicion will arise even in
them.
For example, a naked woman is dancing. There are wine flasks. Wine is being
poured into glasses, is handed over to people. There is luxury all around. There
is dancing and music -- a kind of orgy is going on. And Junaid is sitting just
in the middle of it -- the master of the ceremony.
You see it. And you have an idea of how a Master should be. It is very rare to
find a man who does not come with any idea. It is natural. It can be forgiven.
Everybody comes with an idea. If a Christian comes to me, he has the idea of
Christ. He starts looking at me -- am I behaving like Christ or not? If he feels
I am not, then I cannot be anything. A Jaina comes; he has the idea of Mahavira.
He looks; he is expecting me to behave like a Mahavira. I am neither Christ, nor
Mahavira, nor Buddha -- I am just myself. I exist in my own right. I have no
borrowed authority; my authority is my own. But people come with ideas. They
have been trained. So it becomes very difficult. They look from the prejudices,
hidden behind the prejudices. If I fulfil their prejudice, then it is okay; if I
don't, then they will think that this is not the Master, this is not the true
Master. They will have to go somewhere else.
And remember, no true Master has ever fulfilled anybody's desire. He cannot, if
he wants to help you. He has to annoy you, he has to shock you. He has to be
shocking because his whole work is to shock you into awareness.
ONCE HE WAS FOUND BY A NUMBER OF SEEKERS SITTING SURROUNDED BY EVERY IMAGINABLE
LUXURY.
THESE PEOPLE LEFT HIS PRESENCE AND SOUGHT THE HOUSE OF A MOST AUSTERE AND
ASCETIC HOLY MAN, WHOSE SURROUNDINGS WERE SO PLAIN THAT HE HAD NOTHING BUT A MAT
AND A JUG OF WATER.
Now Junaid is one of the greatest Sufi Masters. An ordinary man will fulfil
your desire -- in fact, only an ordinary man will fulfil your desire, he will
pretend to be whatsoever you can expect him to be -- but no real man is going to
be defined by you. He remains indefinable. No real man can be put into
categories. He remains uncategorised. A real man is like mercury -- you cannot
hold him in tight compartments. A real man is freedom. If you want to see the
real Master, you will have to put all your notions aside.
And how can you have the right notion? You don't even know who you are, and you
pretend to know what a Master should be! You are completely oblivious of your
own reality and you want to believe that you can know the ultimate reality or
the ultimate expression of reality. It is pretentious, and it is dangerous, and
only you will be the loser. If you want to seek the real Master, you will have
to drop all expectations. You will have to go nude, naked. You will have to go
without any mind -- only then is there any possibility of any contact.
Just the other night a young man took sannyas. I was watching him. He was very
closed. I was watching him. Whatsoever I said to him -- and I talked to him for
almost half an hour -- was not heard by him. I was watching. His ears were
closed. His mind was very much clouded. And then finally I asked, 'Have you
something to say to me?' He said, 'Yes, I am a Christian, how can I have two
names? I have been given a Christian name, I have been initiated into
Christianity. And you are giving me another name. Now there will be difficulty.'
I was watching -- he had not heard a single word. I asked him, 'If you really
know that you are growing, if you know that you are silent, happy, blissful, if
by being a Christian you are contented, then there is no need to be a sannyasin.
You are already a sannyasin. Why have you come here then? For what? If things
are going perfectly well wherever you are, be there with all my blessings. Why
have you come for sannyas? Nobody has asked you. You have come on your own. You
have asked me to initiate you and now you bring a problem. If you are not
growing, if yoU are not happy where you are, then drop the past.'
Now this young man is carrying a notion. He thinks he is a Christian. How can
you be a Christian if you have not contacted Christ? The so-called priest in the
church cannot make you a Christian. Only when you partake of Christ do you
become a Christian. The ordinary priest himself is not a Christian -- what to
say about the ordinary man? Even the Vatican pope is not a Christian. He cannot
be -- because to be a Christian does not mean to belong to a church, it means to
enter into Christ-consciousness.
Jesus is not the only Christ. Buddha is also a Christ, so is Mohammed, so is
Junaid, so is Kabir and so is Nanak. Christ is a state just as Buddha is a
state. It is the same thing; it is the same state. These two names indicate the
same state. Jainas call it the state of Jina, the conqueror -- because they
follow the path of will. Buddhists call it the state of Buddha: the state of
awakening, awareness, witnessing. They follow the fourth path. Christ is a
state, the ultimate state -- when you are no longer a man but you become God,
when you transcend humanity, when you surpass humanity.
But you can become a Christian only if yoU partake of a Christ -- otherwise
your Christianity will be false and your false Christianity will prevent you
from making contact with any living Christ. But people come with their minds. It
can be understood, it can be forgiven, but forgiving does not mean that you have
to cling to it. It has to be dropped.
Now this young man can become Christian for the first time -- if he enters me
and allows me to enter him. For the first time he has come around a
Christ-consciousness, but he is afraid. He is afraid because he is a Christian
and naturally he cannot think of me as Christ because he has an idea of Christ.
If he sees me crucified only then will he believe -- but then it will be too
late.
And I am not going to repeat the drama! Once, it is good twice, it is boring!
Now these seekers came to Junaid. Junaid was sitting surrounded by every
imaginable luxury. They must have interpreted. They must have been shocked and
annoyed. What kind of Master is he?
Just the other day Maitreya brought me a Hindi magazine. They have written an
article against me as the cover story. And on the cover page the title is: WHAT
KIND OF GOD? Naturally, they have a certain idea -- what kind of God? I am not
Rama, I am not Krishna, I am not Mahavira -- so what kind God am I? And these
are the same people who, when Mahavira was there, were asking, 'What kind of
God?' -- because he was not Rama and he was not Krishna. And these are the sane
people who, when Krishna was there, were asking, 'What kind of God?' -- because
he was not Rama. These are the same people who go on asking again and again.
Rama is never repeated. Nothing is ever repeated. This existence is so unique
and so beautiful.
So if you want to make contact with reality, you will have to drop notions. We
all have notions.
The Sunday-school teacher asked her class to learn an appropriate phrase from
the Bible and recite it as they were putting their pennies in the collection
box.
On the following Sunday little Lucas came up with, 'It is more blessed to give
than to receive,' as he dropped his penny in the box.
Richard's quotation was, 'The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.' This too was well
received.
And so on down the line to little Lloyd. As he grudgingly made his
contribution, he mumbled, 'A fool and his money are soon parted.'
Now all three boys had looked in the Bible, in the same Bible, but they had
found three different quotes. When you look, you always find something that
reflects you.
Father Duffy and Rabbi Muchnik were chattering at a town meeting.
'Could I ask you a question?' enquired Father Duffy.
'Of course,' said Rabbi Muchnik.
'It has always been my understanding that the apostles were Jews. Isn't that
correct?'
'Absolutely right!' replied the Rabbi.
'Then how the deuce did the Jews let go of a good thing like the Catholic
Church and let the Italians grab it?'
Now that is a relevant question. How did the Jews allow such a beautiful
business to be lost? The richest business in the world is the Catholic Church.
The question is relevant -- how did the Jews allow it to be lost? How did they
miss it? This is not very Jewish.
Our minds work continuously.
In a small class the
teacher asked, 'Who is the greatest man in the world?'
One boy said, 'Abraham Lincoln.'
Another boy said, 'Mahatma Gandhi.'
Another boy said, 'Washington.'
Another boy said, 'Karl Marx.'
And so on and so forth.
And then came the little Jewish boy who said, 'Jesus Christ.'
The teacher was surprised and said, 'Aren't you a Jew? How come?'
The little boy said, 'In my heart of hearts I know that the greatest man in the
world is Moses -- but business is business.'
Whenever you interpret something, rather than thinking that it is objective,
always remember it is a reflection of your mind.
Now these seekers were very puzzled at seeing the luxury and Junaid sitting
there. These people must have been very, very attached to things; these people
must have been very, very desirous of having, possessing; these people must have
been very, very materialistic. Seeing Junaid surrounded by all these luxuries, a
deep jealousy must have arisen in them which was not visible to them. and
whenever people are very indulgent they have a religious idea that people who
are indulgent are not religious. How can they be religious? They are indulgent.
So people who are religious must be far away from all kinds of indulgence. If
you are too much of a money maniac, then you will have an idea that the real man
of God will not have any desire for money.
This has to be understood. You always put the opposite higher than you because
you condemn yourself utterly. You know that you are mad about money, so
immediately the idea comes, 'So he is just like me. He is nothing special. He is
just like me.' If you are too sexual, if your mind is continuously fantasising
about sex and you see Junaid sitting with a beautiful woman, immediately Junaid
is condemned in your mind. So he is just like you. This is what you would like
to do -- so what is the point of making this man your Master?
People go on searching for the opposite. People only respect the opposite. This
has to be understood -- this tendency. People are attracted by the opposite but
the opposite cannot change you -- because the attraction of the opposite is a
very natural law. Man is attracted to woman; woman is attracted to man. The poor
is attracted to the rich and -- you will be surprised -- the rich is attracted
to the poor. Rich people always think that the poor are enjoying great things --
they have beautiful sleep, they have good appetite. Rich people always think
that there is great )oy in living in nature -- in living in a hut, in a cottage.
Rich people always think that in small villages far away there is joy and bliss.
In great cities how can there be joy? They live in the great cities and they
hanker for the village.
And ask the villager. He hankers for Bombay, New York London. His hankering is
to reach the biggest city possible. His hankering is to live in a big
skyscraper. He wants all that the rich people have.
Remember, rich people are interested in the poor -- so whenever they see an
enlightened person living in poverty their heads bow down. They say, 'This is
the right thing.' If they see a JANAK, a rich man, enlightened, they cannot
believe it. It is impossible for them. Their understanding becomes a barrier.
Now an enlightened person has no bondage. He can live in poverty if he feels
this is going to help his disciples; he can live in riches if he feels this is
going to help his disciples. His whole life is a teaching. It is a deliberate
device. It is a situation. It depends on him what he chooses. He has no bondage
to anything. And he can change from one to another. He is utterly free.
They thought that this was not the right man. They left Junaid. They missed a
great opportunity.
THESE PEOPLE LEFT HIS PRESENCE AND SOUGHT THE HOUSE OF A MOST AUSTERE AND
ASCETIC HOLY MAN, WHOSE SURROUNDINGS WERE SO PLAIN THAT HE HAD NOTHING BUT A MAT
AND A JUG OF WATER.
They must have thought that this was the right man. They were all worldly
people. Seeing Junaid surrounded by worldly luxuries they thought that he was
just like them.
Look into your so-called religious people and see who they respect -- you will
be surprised. For example, in India, the Jainas are amongst the richest people.
They are the Jews of India. They have all kinds of luxuries. It is a small
community but it has one of the biggest portions of this country's wealth. See
their saints. They are naked; they don't possess anything. This is rare. The
community is rich and the community worships somebody who is absolutely naked,
possesses nothing. It looks strange logic but it is not. The opposite is
attractive.
The rich people can only worship the poor. They live in luxury; they can only
worship somebody who lives in austerity. If you want Jainas to be your
disciples, you will have to become a a masochist. You will have to torture
yourself. The more elan and thin you become -- just bones -- the more and more
respect will be coming to you. You will have to commit slow suicide. The more
dead you are, the more people will be coming to worship you.
And this is strange! These people are living wealthy, rich lives. But the
opposite attracts. It is always the opposite that attracts.
Another example.... Mohammedans are poor people in this country. When their
religious festival days come, they will purchase new clothes, new perfume. They
will prepare good food for themselves and invite friends. When the Mohammedans'
religious function comes, they will wear new clothes because that is the only
time they purchase or they can purchase. Then the whole year they will use the
same clothes. And they will prepare good sweets. delicious foods, invite people.
Those days will be of great joy. And they will spend money. They cannot afford
to spend money the whole year round -- only once or twice in a year.
Now the Jainas, the richest community in India, when their religious festival
days come, they fast. They don't eat at all! The whole year round they eat too
much. Jainas are the only people in India who go on diets. They eat too much.
They are the only people who are interested in naturopathy. And when their
religious days come, they fast. On their religious days, they live very saintly
lives. They will not use their ordinary clothes, they will use just white
clothes..They will look saintly. They will go in saintly robes to their temples.
This is only for ten days -- the whole year round they are just the opposite.
What is happening? The opposite attracts. Remember always that just because
something is opposite to you, it does not mean it is true. It may be opposite to
you, but it may not be opposite at all. Or the person who is being opposite to
you, may just be trying to attract your respect. It is very easy to gain respect
by just becoming opposite to people.
And people very, very much respect those who are maso-chistic. They think this
is great. They are torturing themselves for the other world. Their sacrifice is
great. It is nothing! It is simply neurosis! Those people are ill. They need
psychiatric treatment -- because it is natural to be joyous, to be healthy, to
be hungry, to eat. It is natural to live comfortably. It is unnatural to create
discomfort. It is very normal to find a way of life which is less and less
inconvenient. A person who seeks inconvenience is somehow pathological.
So they left the presence of Junaid and they came to a very, very ascetic and
austere man WHOSE SURROUNDINGS WERE SO PLAIN THAT HE HAD NOTHING BUT A MAT AND A
JUG OF WATER. It appealed to them.
THE SPOKESMAN OF THE SEEKERS SAID, 'YOUR SIMPLE MANNERS AND AUSTERE ENVIRONMENT
ARE MUCH MORE TO OUR LIKING THAN THE GARISH AND SHOCKING EXCESSES OF JUNAID, WHO
SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED HIS BACK UPON THE PATH OF TRUTH.'
-- as if they knew what truth was and what the path of truth was; as if they
knew what was transpiring there between Junaid and his disciples; as if they
knew that it was a psychodrama. They knew nothing. From the very outside they
judged. Never judge anything from the outside.
And when you go inside, the deeper you go, the more totally different will be
the vision. Then you will see the real; then you will see what reality is. Never
watch it from the outside.
It happens here every day. People come to watch. They see you dancing, singing,
and they say, 'What is this? Dancing and singing? How is dancing and singing
related to religion?' They have a certain idea that religion means that somebody
should be sitting under a tree with closed eyes, in a yoga posture. If people
see you all sitting here under trees with closed eyes in yoga postures, then we
will be mobbed. Then the whole country will start rushing here. So many saints!
But I prevent them. I have my own devices -- simple devices! If they see a man
and woman holding hands, they escape! This is not the place. This is what they
always wanted to do and have not. They feel jealous -- 'This can't be a
religious place. These people are just living in the world, being very worldly
-- laughing, dancing, singing, loving.' This is not their idea of religion.
But they don't know what is transpiring here. It is possible that a man who is
sitting under a tree with closed eyes in a yoga posture will be a murderer.
It happened once....
A man murdered somebody and escaped. The police followed him and were coming
closer and closer. Then the murderer came to a river which was flooded. He was
puzzled because he did not know how to swim and it was dangerous to go into the
river.Looking around he saw a man, a saint, sitting under a tree. He had rubbed
ashes on his body. So he threw his clothes in the river, became naked, rubbed
ashes on his body, and sat under the tree. The police officers came and looked
at these two great ascetic saints. They touched their feet -- in India that's
how things are -- they touched their feet. The murderer laughed inside. This was
a miracle! Just a few minutes ago they were after him. If he had been caught he
would have been sentenced to death. But now they became his followers. They
started coming to him for satsanga, to sit by his side. And in India every
stupid person knows things about spirituality, so he started talking about
spirituality. By and by greater officers came. Finally the king came. and when
the king touched his feet he could not believe what was happening.
But this happens. You look only at the posture, you look only at the outside.
It is possible that when people are dancing they may be in a state of utter
silence. The music is outside, the noise is outside, their bodies are moVing,
there is great movement, but there may be a point deep inside which is not
moving at all. In fact, to attain to that point which is not moving, movement is
the best background. When everything is moving around you, the wheel is moving
fast, just at the centre of it -- the centre of the cyclone -- nothing is
moving.
You may see a man sitting silently with closed eyes and he may be fantasising
about women. And it is possible that a man may be holding the hand of his woman
and may not be sexual at all in that moment. But that is something inner. In
fact, as I see reality, to be with a loving woman and to be with a loving man is
the best way to get beyond sexuality. If you love, sex disappears. If you have
enjoyed, penetrated, got involved with love energy, sooner or later you will
find that sex disappears. If you want to remain sexual, starve yourself of sex
-- and you will remain sexual. And your mind will go on fantasising.
You can just try a small experiment. If you eat well -- I'm not saying too
much, just the right amount, what Bud&a calls SAMYAK AHAR, right food,
whatsoever is needed by your body -- you can forget about food. If you fast one
day, you will think about food the whole day. And you will fantasise. Fantasy
comes out of unlived experiences. Your so-called saints sitting under trees in
austerity may be just the opposite. Deep inside they may be fantasising about
all kinds of things, they may be fighting with them.
I am creating a totally different kind of situation -- where you are allowed to
be natural so you can see everything that your mind wants to see. Then you can
go beyond.
That was the situation -- but they missed. That's what was happening there.
Junaid was sitting in luxury with his disciples, creating a situation in which
they could become very, very silent and witness.
'YOUR SIMPLE MANNERS,' they said to the ascetic, 'AND AUSTERE ENVIRONMENT ARE
MUCH MORE TO OUR LIKING THAN THE GARISH AND SHOCKING EXCESSES OF JUNAID, WHO
SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED HIS BACK UPON THE PATH OF TRUTH.'
THE ASCETIC HEAVED A GREAT SIGH AND STARTED TO WEEP.
The ascetic knew far better about his own inside. He must have been a sincere
man. Otherwise it is very difficult when people are respecting and worshipping
you to say, 'No, you are wrong.' He must have been a sincere man.
'MY DEAR FRIENDS, SHALLOWLY INFECTED BY THE OUTWARD SIGNS WHICH BESET MAN AT
EVERY TURN,' HE SAID, 'KNOW THIS, AND CEASE TO BE UNFORTUNATES! THE GREAT JUNAID
IS SURROUNDED AT THIS MOMENT BY LUXURY BECAUSE HE IS IMPERVIOUS TO LUXURY. AND I
AM SURROUNDED BY SIMPLICITY, BECAUSE I AM IMPERVIOUS TO SIMPLICITY.'
He said something tremendously meaningful, tremendously significant -- 'Know
this. Don't be befooled by shallow, outward signs, otherwise you will remain
always unfortunate. You will miss the real person because the real will not in
any way fulfil your expectations. He has no obligation to fulfil your
expectations. The unreal and the pseudo will always be ready to fulfil your
expectations, and you will fall into the trap of the unreal. And you will remain
unfortunate.'
He said, 'Know this, and cease to be unfortunate. Know one thing: that the
outward is not a sign for the inward.' If you want to see the inward, you have
to see it directly, immediately. You are not to see from the outward signs.
'THE GREAT JUNAID IS SURROUNDED AT THIS MOMENT BY LUXURY BECAUSE HE IS
IMPERVIOUS TO LUXURY.'
He can be surrounded by luxury because he can remain beyond. He is impervious
to it. There is no passage inside his being for luxury to enter and affect him.
He is a watcher on the hills. He is there and yet not there. Luxury is
surrounding him but he is not surrounded by luxury. That's why he is sitting
there.
'And as far as I am concerned,' the ascetic said, 'I am surrounded by
simplicity because I am afraid of luxury. I am still weak. I am still desirous.
I am pretending to be simple. Junaid IS simple. He can afford to be surrounded
by luxury because he is simple. He knows his simplicity cannot be destroyed and
corrupted by anything. He is so beyond the material that it does not matter. The
material matters no more. He can be in the marketplace and yet be in his deep
meditation. I cannot afford that because I am not impervious to luxury. On the
contrary, I am impervious to simplicity. Although simplicity is all around me it
is not entering me. There is no passage.'
The man must have been an authentic, honest man. Of course, he was still moving
in the wrong direction, but he was not a fake. He was moving in the wrong
direction but moving with sincerity. When you move in the wrong direction with
sincerity, sooner or later your sincerity will bring you to the right direction.
The story does not say anything else, but one thing is certain: this man
understands Junaid. How long can he remain away from Junaid? He will have to go
to the Master. And he understands his problem -- how long can he go on
pretending by arranging simplicity around him? One day or other he will get out
of it, and he will start looking for the right key. The right key is the fourth
way.
The fourth way means content not affecting consciousness; consciousness not
affecting content. The world is there, I am here. There is no bridge. There is
no meeting. This is the path of Sufism, the path of Zen, the path of all
essential religions.

Introduction : Using traditional Zen stories and responding to seekers' questions, Osho shows how man must first be grounded in himself before he can fly into the sky of consciousness.

Osho helps the reader to face the reality of his own death without fear, and thereby living life to the optimum. Originating in Poland around 1750, Hasidim sought a direct, spontaneous religious experience of life, and created a great tradition of laughing saints and wonderful stories. "In a language simple but yet profound, the master Osho indicates the art of 'dying' by learning how to live in the here and now, the eternal life."

Introduction : "The Baul mystics are children of celebration. They celebrate life, they celebrate death. Whatever is, is seen as a gift...they simply love life in all its aspects," is how Osho introduces us to these mystics of Bengal. And in the first verse of their song, "Only a connoisseur of the flavors of love can comprehend the language of a lover's heart" is revealed the essence of their religion. Osho explains their view of sex, their concept of the body as a temple and their secret of surrender to God, to the Beloved, to "the essential man" who lives within us all.
OSHO: THE BELOVED, VOL. 2
Talks on the Baul Mystics, Talks given from 21/06/76 am to 10/07/76 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year published : 1976.
Introduction : Ten talks with alternating commentaries on the songs of these delicious madmen, mystics, fools and poets with answers to seekers' questions. And whatever the question, the answers all convey the trust, oneness and love experienced by the Bauls. Spontaneous and life-affirmative, "theirs is the path of the dancer, the singer, and the aesthetic man." "I have read most of [Osho's] books and listened to tapes of his talks, and I am convinced that in the spiritual tradition, here is a mind of intellectual brilliance and persuasive ability as an author."
OSHO: COMO FOLLOW YOURSELF, VOL. 1
Reflections on Jesus of Nazareth, Talks given from 21/10/75 am to 30/10/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho makes a clear distinction between the rebel called Jesus Christ and the religion that followed after him—Christianity. Through the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John he reintroduces Jesus as a man, a mystic and an uncompromising master filled with love, fire and compassion. A treat for those in love with Jesus'words. "I have never heard anyone so beautifully and playfully integrate and then dissolve the psychological problems which, for generations, have sapped our human energies."

Reflections on Jesus of Nazareth, Talks given from 31/10/75 am to 10/11/75 am, English Discourse series, 11 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho talks on Jesus the man, Jesus the Jew, Jesus the revolutionary, Jesus the mystic. That is, he speaks on Christ, not on Christianity. The Christ that Osho speaks about is alive, vital. As Osho responds to the sayings of Jesus, suddenly what Jesus was trying to impart becomes luminously clear, startlingly relevant. In addition, Osho answers questions from seekers such as: How does consciousness relate to God? Did Jesus manipulate the High Priests to bring about his martyrdom? Are fear and guilt the same thing? "I have never heard anyone so beautifully and playfully integrate and then dissolve the psychological problems which, for generations, have sapped our human energies."
OSHO: COMO FOLLOW YOURSELF, VOL. 3
Reflections on Jesus of Nazareth, Talks given from 11/12/75 am to 20/12/75, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Jesus is brought alive in a new and dynamic way—not the Jesus that the theologians and scholars have presented to us but Jesus as seen through the eyes of a contemporary mystic. In alternate discourses Osho answers questions about trust, his path in relation to other paths, the difference between being a fatalist and going with the flow, perfectionism, the behavior of an enlightened man, the paradox of tears of joy, being distracted by the world while on the path of meditation and his interpretation of The Lord's Prayer amongst others. "I have never heard anyone so beautifully and playfully integrate and then dissolve the psychological problems which, for generations, have sapped our human energies."

Introduction : Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. "Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them," he explains. "It is a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis." The volume also includes Osho's answers to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen.

He explains that these sutras are concerned with aspects of man's unawareness, and that Buddha's whole message is concerned with the raising of our consciousness. Entering into The Dhammapada with Osho is to enter into a deep friendship of enlightened masters. These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. Osho's commentaries on these sutras set the Wheel of Dharma in motion again.

Talks on Kabir, Talks given from 11/04/79 am to 25/04/79 am, English Discourse series, 15 Chapters, Year published : 1980.
Introduction : Commenting on the haunting songs of Kabir, Osho takes the reader to the very core of the human dilemma, to the simple cause of misery and unhappiness—man's illusion that he is separate from existence, his inability to comprehend why the fish in the sea is not thirsty. He also talks on emotions and being detached from them, aloneness and love, imitation, children and religion, rebellion, living in a balanced way, sex, the generation gap, and more. "The clarity with which Osho expresses his thoughts, in an easy and direct style, is remarkable. Reading him is a liberating experience which everyone can reach."

Introduction : The Desiderata is one of the smallest and most potent collections of verse.

Osho weaves together the fragments of the Greek mystic Heraclitus to reveal the startling implications of the difference between logic, Aristotle's intellectual doctrine about what is true; and logos, the existential experience of truth which Heraclitus lived.

Here is an alive, contemporary Zen master at work - and as the meaning of Sosan's teachings are unraveled, so are the habitual patterns and prejudices of the reader's mind. Furthermore, Osho's work is so subtle and delicate, the surgery is performed almost before you know it.

Introduction : "This Upanishad...is the smallest it can be written on a postcard and yet it is the greatest document in existence," Osho declares.

These sutras are amongst the most ancient wisdom available to mankind transmitted from masters to their disciples twenty-five centuries before even Buddha. With clear metaphors, stories and jokes, we are introduced to the perspective of an enlightened master a world view so total that it embraces the cosmic, a rebirth of the spirit of the Upanishads.

Die Zeit, Germany.
OSHO: JOSHU: THE LION'S ROAR
Talks on Zen, Talks given from 15/10/88 pm to 22/10/88 pm, English Discourse series, 8 Chapters, Year Published : 1988.
Introduction : "A hair's breadth of difference, and what happens?" Joshu is asked. There is no intellectual answer to the Koans of Zen, no approximate answer and no amount of intellect to be applied: "Heaven and earth are far away." Only by authenticity can we rise in consciousness. And as this Lion's Roar of Joshu resounds through almost twelve centuries, so is its message more urgent. Through these symbolic Zen dialogues and the existential language of Haikus, Osho urges his reader not to be lukewarm, but single-pointed in the search for our authenticity. This book is full of clues...hints and pointers how to "begin" as Osho puts it, how to bring this search into our everyday lives, and in very simple ways how to begin meditating.
OSHO: KRISHNA: THE MAN AND HIS PHILOSOPHY
Talks given from 20/7/70 to 5/10/70, Original in Hindi, 22 Chapters, Year Published: 1985.
Content : Krishna is utterly incomparable, he is so unique. Firstly, his uniqueness lies in the fact that although Krishna happened in the ancient past he belongs to the future, is really of the future. Man has yet to grow to that height where he can be a contemporary of Krishna's. He is still beyond man's understanding; he continues to puzzle and battle us. Only in some future time will we be able to understand him and appreciate his virtues. And there are good reasons for it…

Talks given from 03/12/88 pm to 06/12/88 pm, English Discourse series, 4 Chapters, Year Published : 1989.
Introduction : Kyozan was such a simple and ordinary man that, as his own master put it, if it was possible for him to become enlightened, then it is possible for anyone. These discourses—based on anecdotes about Kyozan's life and on a selection of exquisite haikus—are filled with that promise. Osho uses Kyozan's life to make Zen as accessible to the contemporary seeker as preparing a cup of tea.

This book also contains Osho's most radical insights into the problem of drugs and he presents a revolutionary solution.
OSHO: THE MEESIAH, VOL. 1
Commentaries on Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, Talks given from 08/01/87 pm to 19/01/87 pm, English Discourse series, 23 Chapters.
Introduction : Early in this century a Lebanese poet, Kahlil Gibran, produced a book that has become universally known and loved for its beauty and the timeless themes it addresses. But because Gibran was a poet, not a mystic, in The Prophet he could give us only a work of imagination, a glimpse into the dream that is the mystic's everyday reality. The Messiah, Osho's two-volume commentary on The Prophet, must find itself as a companion to Gibran's work in the hands of every lover of truth and beauty. In this volume Osho speaks on the themes that Gibran addresses through the fictional prophet, Almustafa: love, children, giving, work; eating and drinking, and clothes; joy and sorrow; houses and homes, buying and selling; crime and punishment.
OSHO: THE MEESIAH, VOL. 2
Commentaries on Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, Talks given from 20/01/87 am to 10/02/87 am, English Discourse series, 24 Chapters.
Introduction : Early in this century a Lebanese poet, Kahlil Gibran, produced a book that has become universally known and loved for its beauty and the timeless themes it addresses. But because Gibran was a poet, not a mystic, in The Prophet he could give us only a work of imagination, a glimpse into the dream that is the mystic's everyday reality. The Messiah, Osho's two-volume commentary on The Prophet, must find itself as a companion to Gibran's work in the hands of every lover of truth and beauty. Essentially Osho "uses" writings that are well known and much loved as a medium to express his own understanding of man and his relationship to life. When his own experience affirms the expressions of other mystics and poets, Osho endorses them, and where he feels they fall short or misrepresent the truth, he does not hesitate to say so. In all cases his love for those who have devoted their life energies to the search of truth and the expression of their findings is evident.

Talks on Zen, Talks given from 11/02/76 am to 20/02/76 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year published : 1981.
Introduction : Why does Osho call the desire for nirvana, enlightenment, "the last nightmare"? Because, he says, all desire, all hope is the nightmare. Through Zen stories and responses to seekers'questions, Osho speaks on the nature of desire, the disease of comparison, man's compulsive need to "do," macrobiotics, being creative with work, and the chronic state of schizophrenia inflicted upon mankind by the organized religions.

Introduction : Osho comments on Sufi anecdotes and responds to questions from seekers. But how to recognize "the perfect master"?

OSHO: THE GOLDEN VERSES OF PYTHAGORAS, PHILOSOPHIA PERENNIS, VOL. 1
Talks on Pythagoras, Talks given from 21/12/78 am to 30/12/78 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho declares that if the Greek mathematician and mystic Pythagoras had been listened to and understood, humanity's history would have been totally different. Pythagoras is a man close to Osho's heart, with his understanding that materialism and spiritualism -- East and West, body and soul --exist together, are not opposing forces but complementary facets of a harmony. In this series of talks Osho discusses the verses of Pythagoras and responds to seekers'questions.
OSHO: THE GOLDEN VERSES OF PYTHAGORAS, PHILOSOPHIA PERENNIS, VOL. 2
Talks on Pythagoras, Talks given from 31/12/78 am to 10/01/79 am, English Discourse series, 11 Chapters, Year published : 1981.
Introduction : Osho explains in this volume that Pythagoras who he describes as "a seeker of truth par excellence," lived in Alexandria and was initiated into the mystery schools of Egypt in his search. He then traveled to India, Tibet and China—then the whole-known world—in his search until he became self-realized. He found a perennial philosophy but was persecuted by society, attempts made on his life, and he was unable to work out his system in detail. The fragments that were left after his death were collected and written up by a disciple in The Golden Verses of Pythagoras. Osho expounds on the idea of the East and West as representative of the brain's two hemispheres; on fanaticism, beliefs, friendship, and on the two Pythagorean laws—of necessity and power. His enthusiasm and love for Pythagoras are evident in these talks on his verses.
OSHO: PHILOSOPHIA ULTIMA
Discourses on the Mandukya Upanishad, Talks given from 11/12/80 am to 26/12/80 am, English Discourse series, 16 Chapters, Year published : 1980.
Introduction : These discourses contain what Osho describes as the most significant statements ever made, and which point to the whole secret of the mystic approach towards life. And the sutra that begins this series of discourses, he says, contains the very essence of the entire Upanishadic vision—that the universe is an indivisible totality, an organic whole. Osho illuminates these ancient texts with such clarity that their significance seems stunningly obvious. A wealth of jokes and amusing anecdotes are magically interwoven through his commentaries.
OSHO: THE PEOPLE OF THE PATH, VOL. 1
Talks on Sufism, Talks given from 11/08/77 am to 26/08/77 am, English Discourse series, 16 Chapters.
Introduction : Jokes...paradox...parables...wisdom....absurdity...all to shake the reader out of his intellect and into the innocence of the mystic. Osho distills the essence of Sufism for the contemporary man, not to inform the reader about the state of mysticism but to create the situation in which we discover the mystic within ourselves.
OSHO: THE PEOPLE OF THE PATH, VOL. 2
Talks on Sufism, Talks given from 27/08/77 am to 10/09/77 am, English Discourse series, 15 Chapters.

Discourses on Kabir, Talks given from 11/02/78 am to 20/02/78 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year published : 1979.
Introduction : "Up to man there has been evolution," Osho says. "From fish to man there has been evolution. But from man to a Buddha, from man to a Christ, from man to a Kabir, it is not evolution, it is revolution—the revolution I call it, the only revolution." Osho rekindles these ten fiery songs of Kabir, verses which shocked 15th-century seekers. In Osho's hands, Kabir's vision is equally if not more mind-shattering.

Introduction : The Supreme Doctrine deals in depth with many aspects of meditation, the fundamentals of how to move intensely and totally into this experience spoken of by the rishis in the Ken Upanishad . Osho's insights are incisive, his freshness and dynamism are captured in these talks. He explains the process of meditation: "Meditation is first of all an effort to make you independent; and second, to change your type and quality of consciousness. With a new quality of consciousness old problems cannot exist: they simply disappear."
OSHO: THE TANTRA VISION, VOL. 1
Talks on the Royal Song of Saraha, Talks given from 21/04/77 am to 30/04/77 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : An absorbing book about the relationship between Saraha, an affluent young Brahmin, and a lower-cast arrowsmith woman - he as disciple, and she as his Tantric master. In Osho's understanding Tantra is one of the greatest of man's visions, a religion which respects rather than destroys individuality. Alternately speaking on the sutras of Saraha and answering seekers'questions, Osho describes what he calls the "Tantra map of inner consciousness," including the "four seals" or locks that open as couples move higher in meditation.
OSHO: THE TANTRA VISION, VOL. 2

Introduction : An absorbing book about the relationship between Saraha, an affluent young Brahmin, and a lower-cast arrowsmith woman - he as disciple, and she as his Tantric master. In Osho's understanding Tantra is one of the greatest of man's visions, a religion which respects rather than destroys individuality. Alternately speaking on the sutras of Saraha and answering seekers'questions, Osho describes what he calls the "Tantra map of inner consciousness," including the "four seals" or locks that open as couples move higher in meditation.

Introduction : Nothing much is known about the Indian master Tilopa, yet his mystical insight into Tantra in the form of a song passed on to his disciple Naropa, has lived on through the ages. In this series of discourses Osho speaks on Tilopa's verses, which contain many significant meditation techniques suitable for the modern-day seeker: "Mahamudra...is a total orgasm with the whole, with the universe. It is a melting into the source of being.... This is a song of Mahamudra. And who will sing it? Tilopa is no more. The orgasmic feeling itself is vibrating and singing.... I am also here to sing a song, but it can be given to you only when you are ready."
OSHO: TAO: THE THREE TREASURES, VOL. 1
Talks on Fragments from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Talks given from 11/06/75 am to 20/06/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho recounts how Lao Tzu, at the age of 90, was leaving for the Himalayas to spend his final days. Until this time he had never written down his insights, but at the border a guard (who was also his disciple) imprisoned the mystic and refused to release him until he wrote down something of what he had come to know. That is how this unique text, the Tao Te Ching, was born. Osho comments on this classic text from his uniquely fresh perspective, and also answers questions about the I Ching, growth and spirituality in the context of Tao, the concept of sudden versus gradual enlightenment, and much more.
OSHO: TAO: THE THREE TREASURES, VOL. 2
Talks on Fragments from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Talks given from 21/06/75 am to 30/06/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho's affinity with this ancient Chinese mystic is such that he says when he speaks on Lao Tzu he is speaking as if on himself. So clearly does Lao Tzu reflect the unity of opposites, life's absurdities, its ordinariness, and the beauty of that ordinariness, that Osho sees in him a "spokesman for life." In this volume Osho comments on the verses of Lao Tzu and answers questions from disciples and other seekers - Why did you choose a male form as your last one? Please explain the difference between discipline and control. What happens when an enlightened being dissolves into the cosmos? And more.
OSHO: TAO: THE THREE TREASURES, VOL. 3
Talks on Fragments from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Talks given from 11/08/75 am to 20/08/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho's commentary on the timeless verses of Lao Tzu is set in poetic format, as are his responses to questions from disciples and other seekers. Questions include: Isn't the search for enlightenment selfish? How much patience is needed? Is there really nothing we can do? Do all beings eventually find their way to enlightenment? What is the difference between innocence and ignorance?
OSHO: TAO: THE THREE TREASURES, VOL. 4
Talks on Fragments from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Talks given from 21/08/75 am to 31/08/75 am, English Discourse series, 9 Chapters.
Introduction : Lao Tzu speaks of his "three treasures": Love... Never too much... Never be the first in the world. Osho uses this exquisite text to deliver some of his most potent words on love - not as an emotion but as the subtlest form of energy, the substratum of all energy and the essence of life itself. He also speaks on love in relation to sex, fear, the family, science, art and prayer; the mind as a biocomputer; the difficulty of comprehending the simple; and the problem of identification with the body. A treasure trove of Osho's wisdom.
OSHO: THEOLOGIA MYSTICA
Discourses on the Treatise of St. Dionysius, Talks given from 11/08/80 am to 25/08/80 am, English Discourse series, 15 Chapters, Year published : 1987.
Introduction : Osho says of these letters by Dionysius, first bishop of Athens, to his disciple Timothy: "His whole book is written with a disguise, as if it is a treatise on theology; mysticism is just somewhere by the side, secondary, not primary. Hence the name Theologica Mystica—as if mysticism is only a consequence of getting deep into the world of theology. Just the reverse is the case."
OSHO: THE TRUE SAGE
Talks on Hassidism, Talks given from 11/10/75 am to 20/10/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year Published : 1976.
Introduction : Ten discourses on Hasidism, in which Osho responds to a story from The Tales of Hasidism by Matin Buber, and to questions submitted by disciples and seekers. This book is a mixture of light-hearted stories and the penetrating understanding of a true sage. Like the Hassids, Osho's own emphasis is on playfulness and celebration : "Judaism has produced one of the most essential lines of mystics, the Hassids... It is one of the most beautiful ways to find oneself and to find the reality of existence."
OSHO: THE ULTIMATE ALCHEMY, VOL. 1
Talks on the Atma Pooja Upanishad, Talks given from 15/02/72 pm to 06/06/72 pm, English Discourse series, 18 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho observes that this Upanishad is one of the most beautiful and also one of the most neglected. He also points out that commentators usually are either on the path of love or the path of knowledge. But the commentator on this particular Upanishad is unique in being neither. Osho is perh' the first person to discuss these sutras in such a way that the reader can feel a sense of oneness beyond the apparent contradictions. He talks on philosophy as a bridge between science and religion, different dimensions of listening, the role of doubt, the way to know whether one has transcended sex, the difference between projections and authentic feelings, and much more. He also explains how his words are a response to, not a commentary on these sutras.
OSHO: THE ULTIMATE ALCHEMY, VOL. 2
Talks on the Atma Pooja Upanishad, Talks given from 01/07/72 pm to 09/08/72 pm, English Discourse series, 18 Chapters.

Many meditation techniques are shown along the way, many efforts to make us aware of our unconscious condition, the source of all our dis-ease.

OSHO: WHEN THE SHOE FITS
Talks on the Stories of Chuang Tzu, Talks given from 11/10/74 am to 20/10/74 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year Published : 1978.
Introduction : Osho is unique amongst commentators in that he does not offer yet another intellectual treatise on principles, but rather relates the situations of a few thousand years ago to our situation here and now. His great affinity with Chuang Tzu is obvious as he talks on Zen as a religious system only in so far as it is a practical means by which we may understand the conditionings of the mind, and in so doing, transcend. And then the shoe will always fit!
OSHO: THE WISDOM OF THE SANDS, VOL. 1
Discourses on Sufism, Talks given from 21/02/78 am to 01/03/78 am, English Discourse series, 9 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho indicates the significance of this series of discourses on Sufism by saying that it has no explanation for existence, rather, it is a way into the mysteries of existence. Hence, the stories that he comments on in this volume do not carry a philosophical message, but are a gesture towards a world beyond philosophy.

Discourses on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Talks given from 25/12/73 pm to 10/05/76 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho is saying that all the techniques of Yoga have really one focus: how to use the mind. Rightly used it becomes no- mind and you are absolutely silent; wrongly, it becomes so divided you go insane. Through the sutras of Patanjali, Osho leads the reader step by step toward an understanding of the mind - that it is not something different from the body, and how to use it as an instrument.
OSHO: YOGA: THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, VOL. 2
Discourses on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Talks given from 01/01/75 am to 10/01/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho says, "Patanjali is our future, 5000 tears old." And when he comments on Patanjali's sutras - about the two kinds of samadhi, succeeding through total effort and surrender, meditating on the AUM mantra, disease and anguish, breath and inner light, we see the true significance of Patanjali to the here and now.
OSHO: YOGA: THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, VOL. 3
Discourses on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Talks given from 01/03/75 am to 10/03/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho brings a juiciness to the aridity of Patanjali's language, turning it into a fascinating garden of exploration. Patanjali says, "When the activity of the mind is under control..." Osho says, "The mind is a process...doesn't exist, only thoughts, thoughts moving so fast that you think and feel that something exists there in continuity. One thought comes, another thought comes another, and they go on and on. The gap between them is so small that you cannot see the gap between one thought and another. So two thoughts become joined, they become a continuity. Because of that continuity you think there is a mind." Osho brings a simple but intriguing view to these sutras about knowledge and reasoning, samadhi, samadhi with and without contemplation, subtle objects of meditation and subtle energies. He has the knack of removing the dust and tarnish of the passage of time to make these sutras irresistible and vital reading.
OSHO: YOGA: THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, VOL. 4
Discourses on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Talks given from 21/04/75 am to 30/04/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho dissects the cause of misery -- our clinging to life and fear of death, egoism, attraction and repulsion...our lack of awareness. At the outset he puts the situation straight, that the austerity Patanjali is talking about has nothing to do with torturing the body: "Life is more if you are sensitive; life is less if you are less sensitive." Osho as always has the vision and understanding to bring everything, even the seemingly most complex to its simplest: "To me life in its totality is good. And when you understand life in its totality, only then can you celebrate... Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings."
OSHO: YOGA: THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, VOL. 5

OSHO: YOGA: THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, VOL. 6
Discourses on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Talks given from 01/09/75 am to 10/09/75 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho discusses modern scientific research on four states of consciousness : alpha, beta, theta and delta; and continues to expand on the significance of the eight steps of Yoga. Patanjali's whole art is of how to attain to the state where you can die willingly, with no resistance. These precious sutras are a preparation, a preparation to die and a preparation to a greater life, and you can use this book and Patanjali's methodology to touch these very depths.

Introduction : Osho introduces Patanjali's sutras as scientific methods to commit suicide—that is, real suicide, the death of the ego as a pretender. He describes subtle obstacles that can arise when going within and encourages the reader to understand that these are only tricks, sabotage—that the only way to reach the goal is to search deeply within.

Introduction : Osho speaks of Patanjali's system of preparation for enlightenment as empirical, a tool to work with.

OSHO: YOGA: THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, VOL. 10
Discourses on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Talks given from 01/05/76 am to 10/05/76 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters.
Introduction : Osho talks at length on the mind and how it functions. He speaks of desirelessness, enlightenment and pure consciousness. But what is the art of liberation? "Nothing but the art of de-hypnosis," says Osho, " -- how to drop this state of mind; how to become unconditioned; how to look at reality without any idea creating a barrier between you and the real; how to simply see without any desires in the eyes; how simply to be without any motivation. That's all yoga is about. Then suddenly that which is inside you, and has always been inside you from the very beginning, is revealed."

Introduction : In the world's first line-by-line commentary on Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Osho unravels the mystery of man's three metamorphoses—from camel to lion to child.

OSHO: ZARATHUSTRA: THE LAUGHING PROPHET
Commentaries on Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Talks given from 08/04/87 am to 19/04/87 am, English Discourse series, 23 Chapters, Year Published : 1987.
Introduction : Osho uses Nietzsche's diatribe against man's beliefs in his own impotence as a medium to clarify the true nature of the superman—Nietzsche's concept that was so tragically perverted by Adolf Hitler. He unveils the superman as a man inalienably connected to the cosmos, as a mystic and an innocent, cleansed of the need for conquest. He also discusses Nietzsche's concept of will-to-power, revealing how it can integrate man and lead him towards creativity.
