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

Osho saved my Life - Here is the story of a man who singlehandedly exposed the lies being forced on humanity, while shining new light on the wisdom books of the past. His life work of synthesizing Science and Religion, Body and Mind, Zorba and Buddha, etc., has once and for all freed the individual to Love themself in totality NOW, completely free of fleeting outside approval. There are many intimate glimpses into Osho the man which help show the path through which he arrived. It is amazing to see a Life guided only by Truth unfold in so many ways. It is an inspiration to know that it has been done. Somebody has lived an authentic Life. And if it can be done by one person, it can be done by anybody. (If you are looking for comments on all of the media-perpetuated images such as Sex-Guru, Rolls Royce Guru, Cult leader, etc..., you will find them responded to by Osho himself.)

Osho s words are a meditation in itself! - Already in the preface one can find these amazing words: Ordinary history takes care about the facts - what actually happens in the world of matter, the incidents. It does not take care about the truth because truth does not happen in the world of matter, it happens in the world of consciousness. His words are just straight to the point of truth, they ring with it and leave a meditative silence behind. I loved the section about his childhood in that beautifull Indian Village and the quietness it created in him. We can all use a little of that.

A Unique Autobiography of a Unique Master of the Millenium! - Of Indian mystics, after Paramhansa Yoganand s Autobiography ofa Yogi, Osho s autobiography stands apart from the convention. Theuniquness of this book is that it is not written by Osho. It is TALKEDby Osho to his intimate pupils and is recorded by them thereafter. And therefore, it provides a freshness in the story. The book reveals many secrets of the life of Osho which I have not found in any of his books. It also details the biblical situation of Osho s birth, his association with other enlightrened masters who recognized his potential when he was very young and took care of him until he attained to enlightentment. Osho s meeting with India s first prime minister Nehru is another very interesting part. Osho s accounts with Nehru surfaces some of the hidden qualities and spirituality of Nehru. At one sight, Nehru recognizes the future potential of young Osho (may be then 14/15 years old only) and asks Osho s companion, Masto Baba , to take care of him. Mosto Baba is one of the three enlightent Masters of a single chain, who, one by one, took care of Osho in succession. The spiritual journey of Osho is very inspirational. In some places he looks like a dare devil: ready take any kind of challenge, and in some accounts he appears to be as humble as one can be.

autobiography of a spiritually incorrect mystic - This book gives a rare glimpse into the world of a unique human being. A man who dares to live by his own light, his own intelligence, his own intuition. A life without conditioning, almost unheard of in this day and time. An unforgettable man!
