Amazon.co.uk Review
Although he was criticised for being too enamoured of the ways of the West, Indian spiritual leader Osho managed to garner global notoriety as the founder of "Dynamic Meditation". During his controversial lifetime (which ended--at least on this planet--in 1990) Osho was asked numerous times if he would write an autobiography. "He would always dismiss the question with the wave of his hand", writes Sarito Carol Neiman in her "Foreword". "[He] would say his biography is to be found in the sum of his work--in his hundreds of volumes of published talks, and in the transformed lives of the people he touched". In fact this "autobiography" is just that--a collection of interviews (including excerpts from appearances on "Good Morning America" and "60 Minutes"), personal essays and quotes. Disjointed as it may sound, the editors behind this project were able to piece together a smooth autobiography that does not shy from self-criticism or the fundamental question whether Osho was a "Cult Leader", "Joker", "Master" or "Zorba the Guru". (The answer, of course, is all of the above.) Followers and seekers will find this a profound and playful collection of stories and teachings. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Ten years have passed since, in the words of his physician, Osho prepared for his departure from the body that had served him for 59 years "as calmly as though he were packing for a weekend in the country." This volume is recognition that the time has come to provide a historical and biographical context for understanding Osho and his work. Who was this man, known as the sex guru, the "self-appointed Bhagwan," the Rolls Royce Guru, the Rich Man's Guru and simply the Master? Drawn from nearly 5000 hours of Osho's recorded talks, we learn the story of his youth and education, of his life as a professor of philosophy, of years travelling and teaching the importance of meditation, and the true legacy he sought to leave behind: a religious religion centred on the act of meditation and the teaching of "Zorba the Buddha."
