Personal, informative, interesting
14 Feb 2003
Format:Hardcover
For those who want to know what went on in Rajneesh's ashram"s at Poona,and Antelope, Oregan, this book can be useful. Kate Strelley has given a lucid autobiographical account of her experience at the ashrams of Rajneesh. I also got the impression that most of the devotees of Bhagwan Rajneesh were quite green behind their ears, not to have noticed what was really going on, and that the Master they so much admired was not following what he so brilliantly preached.
The books of Rajneesh are insightful and superb. If you want to know the essence of Tantra. Taoism, or Zen, you need only to go through the books of Rajneesj(Osho). But for the life of me I cannot understand why the so-called sanyasins gleefully put up with the pompous ceremonies of their Master when his Zen teachings clearly spelled out that the ordinary is extraordinary and that everyone is a celebrity.
I wish that Rajneesh had followed his Zen insights. He reminds me of a friend of mine who is a brilliant expert on nutrition but is very obese.
Love and best wishes.

Subtitle is inappropriate
27 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
Based on the subtitle of the book, one might expect this to be a history of the Rajneeshees and their eventual establishment of a large community in Oregon. Instead, this book is basically an autobiography of a former Rajneeshee, who does touch on some of the more infamous actions by the Rajneeshees. There is precious little detail on the salmonella poisonings in The Dalles, the political posturing in Antelope and other parts of the state, or even the anti-Rajneeshee actions such as the bombing of the Zorba the Buddha restaurant. Good for those who want to read an autobiography of someone who was in the movement, but hardly a tome about "the rise and fall of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh."
