I can't help but ask, since you mentioned OSHO (which I assume refers to the org at http://www.osho.com/, and with which I assume you're familiar)...do you consider the founder of OSHO one of the "non-meiocre gurus?"
I ask because the website doesn't draw attention to the org's founder much, except to provide some links to talks by him. I'm wondering what you know of him and his reputation in America. ________________________________ From: Sanyam Shrivastava <starastronomy...@yahoo.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] What's Sanyam opinion about G. C.Ve(a)rma case in Bhopal Hello everyone, Thanks for letting me know the broad aspect of topics, covered here in this group. As far as G. C. Verma's case is concerned, such Gurus or Spiritual masters (Self or Institute proclaimed), aren't paramount. These mediocre Gurus, are often popped up in Media, for such rape cases or harassing people, in one way or the other. As said in Meditation practice, one doesn't require a Guru appropriately. Your breath and conscious, are your better Gurus. Because in today's world, rarely we find those people, who have attained greater level of consciousness. The sad part is that, a lot of people follow such fanatic Gurus blindly. Recent case of Asharam Bapu and Narayan Sai, shows us that one shouldn't be suborned by such Spiritual institutes.The lack of knowledge, and the lack of good organisations like OSHO, leads people to follow such people. Though, there are some people, like Ramanand Maharishi, who have actually worked for the spiritual uplift, than for their physical or economical needs. A large number of people are still not aware of the truth, and indoctrinate such cults. Regards, Sanyam Shrivastava "You are not your body, but soul. Don't work for the life that will end within a span of sixty-eighty years, but work for a life, that will last forever. A life, where peace and comfort is the basic notion."
