Osho


OSHO experience: Anything which involved the Zen and religious teachings only surprised and stunned me, I was interested in occult thanks to Madras, during our city's annual book festival in the year 2002 I went their with a friend of mine, though I first visited a book exhibition in the early 90's (the same event) The book exhibition is a regular event in the city which takes place annually and I can see its only growing rapidly growing as every year passes and it happened once, on a Sunday evening as I was slowly browsing through the books shops, I entered a book store which was something very religious I saw various books by a saint and the books in the front row was that of " Autobiography of an Yogi" though I dint have enough money to buy the book and enjoy the evening I settled for a another which I don't remember the title now I am sorry for that I was very happy once I got the book into my hands I started to read it there itself but since I did not want to miss any books store further I had to keep the book in the cover and then I with no proper reason entered a book store it just had a four letter word and many books of a man with a large beard in various kinds of dresses after I had no clue of why I went in there a man came to us and asked "have you heard of Osho?" I said "no" are you interested in "philosophies" I said "yes" then told me something which I don't remember but he recommended to read books by "Osho" and he gave me a book and told me to take any page of my choice and start reading and I won't be feeling anything missed or reading as if I have missed the previous chapter and did what he said and as I was reading his discourse on Krishna, love and why people had the name Radhakrishana, from the moment go I was hooked on to it but since I couldn't afford the book he suggested me to buy Osho Time which was only 6 Rs or 5 because it was old issues I bought a book and left the store again I started reading on the way and I felt something good something very pleasing as though I have found all the answers in the world, or the strength to face anything under the sky I had jus started to read but I felt great, immediately I went back but lost the track of the store but then finally managed to get the book store number in the entrance and went back I browsed for some time and brought 5 to 6 issues of Osho Times and thanked the guy who explained me everything, from that day on Osho has been part of me, I searched of Osho times asia edition but couldn't find it anywhere but then I managed to get it and then the Osho world magazines after that I started hunting for Osho books in "moore" market which is famous for second hand books in Chennai and various things, later I brought Osho's VCD I was really excited to listen to the masters voice and things he would do, the sound in the introduction was splendid it had a different feel but I was only listening to the various things which the commune had to offer I thought I won't be listening to Osho at all so I lost my patience and forwarded the cd and then I was into his talks, seeing it for the first time, I was stunned on seeing the enlighten master for the first time after that I started to watch his videos in Youtube in Osho's channel and began to interact with the his followers and people who visited his commune, I will visiting his commune soon
