My Dance with a Madman
"The book is dangerous. On the surface, it's an entertaining account by a British journalist about his adventures with a wild and crazy Indian mystic. But, at a deeper level, it's packed with revolutionary insights. You may laugh at the author's humours way of telling his story, but at the same time you are confronted with disturbing ideas about personal fulfillment, love, spirituality, the nature of political power and he very glue that holds society together. Anand Subhuti is a former UK political reporter who worked in the Houses of Parliament. Beginning in 1976, Subhuti lived with Osho at his ashram in Pune, and then at Rancho Rajneesh in Oregon, then again in Pune until the mystic died in 1990. Now he lived mainly in Europe, but visits India every year to pay home age to the country he loves.
Wild Wild Guru
This is the story of a Englishman who gave up a job in journalism to spend fourteen years with the controversial Indian mystic Osho, also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and frequently referred to as 'the sex guru'. His guru was always controversial with his teachings on sex and spirituality, rumours of orgies and because he owned ninety-three Rolls Royces. Early in 1976, Subhuti travelled to India to meet Rajneesh in his ashram in Pune, became initiated as his disciple and immediately began to have mystical experiences, which he attributed to the powerful energy field surrounding the guru. He stayed for six months, participating in the ashram's notorious Encounter Group and other therapies ...
India's Misfit Mystic: An Insider Journey into Osho's Life | Unveiling the Life Story of a Spiritual Maverick
About the Book: Osho is a provocative figure. He was controversial during his lifetime, he is now, and he always will be. It is fortunate that it is so, because if you read this book and understand Osho’s life, you will be forced to question all your ideas about religion, spirituality and meditation. Most of all, you will be forced to question yourself. This is the gift of this book, written by an insider who lived with Osho for 14 years, as part of his commune, riding the intense whirlwind of the mystic’s vision. About the Author: Subhuti was a career journalist who worked as a political reporter in the British Houses of Parliament. In 1976, he travelled to India to meet Osho, then known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, in his ashram in Pune. He became initiated as his disciple and immediately began to have mystical experiences, which he attributed to the ashram’s powerful energy field. For 14 years, he lived and worked in Osho’s communes, first in Pune and later at Rancho Rajneesh in Oregon, USA. He stayed with Osho until the mystic died in January 1990. Since then, Subhuti has worked as an author and freelance journalist, dividing his time between the UK, Europe and India.
Zen: The Path of Paradox, Vol 2
Zen is unconditionally value-free – if you make a condition, you miss the point. Zen has no fear and no greed. Zen has no God and no Devil, and Zen has no heaven and no hell. It does not make people greedy by alluring them, promising them rewards in heaven. And it does not make people frightened, scared, by creating nightmarish conceptions of hell. It does not bribe you by rewards, and it does not punish you with tortures. It simply gives you an insight to see into things – and that insight frees you. That insight has no greed as a base to it and no fear as a base to it. All other religions are greedy, all other religions are based deep down somewhere in fear. That’s why we use the word ’god-fearing’ for a religious person – a religi-ous person is god-fearing.
Lady Gaga, This Is Osho
Lady Gaga loves to read Osho books and often tweets Osho quotes to her millions of fans. She is especially fond of the mystic's views on rebellion. But who was Osho as a person? What was it like to be with him when he was alive? What does it really mean to be a rebel? Anand Subhuti tells the story of wild times with India's most controversial and outrageous mystic.

My Life With Osho
The story of a man who, for 12 years, lived at the feet of the most controversial spiritual Master of our age: Osho. The author is one of the few European disciples who had the good fortune and the courage to stay with Osho through a series of tumultuous events, both in India and particularly in the United States.

While describing this adventurous journey, Dr Azima also sheds light on contemporary spirituality and presents a seven-step path for seekers. This is a powerful story, a deeply devotional book and a must-read for any spiritual seeker. Dr AzimaV. Rosc...
The Nirvana Express
In 1897, an Indian yogi named Bava Lachman Dass exhibited himself at the Westminster Aquarium in London, demonstrating forty-eight yoga positions to a bemused audience. Four years earlier, Hindu philosopher Swami Vivekananda had spoken at the first World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, where theosophist Annie Besant rhapsodised about 'his inborn sense of worth' and the 'exquisite beauty' of his spiritual message. The Victorians had conflicted views on the religious beliefs and practices of the Indian sub-continent, blending fascination and suspicion. But within two generations, legions of young Westerners would be following the 'hippie trail' to India, and the Beatles would be meditating...
Zorba the Buddha
Zorba the Buddha is the first comprehensive study of the life, teachings, and following of the controversial Indian guru known in his youth as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and in his later years as Osho (1931Ð1990). Most Americans today remember him only as the Òsex guruÓ and the ÒRolls Royce guru,Ó who built a hugely successful but scandal-ridden utopian community in central Oregon during the 1980s. Yet Osho was arguably the first truly global guru of the twentieth century, creating a large transnational movement that traced a complex global circuit from post-Independence India of the 1960s to ReaganÕs America of the 1980s and back to a developing new India in the 1990s. The Osho movement embodies some of the most important economic and spiritual currents of the past forty years, emerging and adapting within an increasingly interconnected and conflicted late-capitalist world order. Based on extensive ethnographic and archival research, Hugh Urban has created a rich and powerful narrative that is a must-read for anyone interested in religion and globalization.
A Sudden Clash of Thunder
In the Buddhist terminology 'Buddha' is equivalent to 'truth'. They don't talk much about truth; they talk much more about Buddha. That too is significant, because when you become a Buddha -- 'Buddha' means when you become Awakened -- truth is, so why talk about truth? Just ask what awakening is. Just ask what awareness is -- because when you are aware, truth is there; when you are not aware, truth is not there.
