Um es vorweg zu nehmen: ich empfehle dieses Buch allen. Denen, die neugierig sind, an Kuriosem interessiert sind und erst einmal abwarten, ehe sie den Sprung in unbekannte Gewässer wagen. Dieses Buch kann ihnen helfen, einer wichtigen Weichenstellung in ihrem Leben näher zu kommen.

Und ich empfehle es all den vielen Meditierern, die sich damit abgefunden haben, daß die „esoterische Laufbahn“ ja ganz nett ist, aber Erleuchtung? – Ich doch nicht!

Hier also das Beispiel Mahadevi. Eine Inderin, die sich früh im Leben zu OSHO hingezogen fühlt, bevor sie alt genug ist und endlich nach Pune ins OSHO-Resort gelangt kommt. Sie meditiert dort 2 Jahre, ihr Freund muss für ein paar Wochen nach Deutschland und findet sie anschließend in einem völlig veränderten Zustand wieder. Nur nach und nach puzzeln sich die Geschehnisse zusammen und „the Big bang“, ihre Erleuchtung, wird in einem ausführlichen, nachvollziehbaren Kapitel sorgfältig dokumentiert.

Michaelvedam, Mahadevis langjähriger Freund, hat das Buch zusammen gestellt und das Vorwort geschrieben. Sehr anschaulich und einfühlsam schreibt er über das besondere Geschenk, mit einer erleuchteten Frau zusammen zu leben… wie er Mahadevi, die seit dem Ereignis körperlich recht fragil ist, betreut, aber das Gefühl hat, wesentlich mehr von ihr zurück zu bekommen (was an die manchmal unter die Haut gehenden Berichte von Sannyasins erinnert, die sich um OSHO´s Wohl gekümmert haben).

}}
Für mich sind die ersten knapp 50 Seiten des Buches besonders interessant: die Einleitung von Michaelvedam und dann das erste Kapitel: Mahadevi über sich und wie sie ihre Erleuchtung erlebt. In weiteren 16 Kapiteln geht sie auf Fragen von Suchern ein. Verblüffend: das Kapitel über Eckhart Tolle.
[[Category:Books by Sannyasins - Non-Fiction]]
 
Das Buch hat 212 Seiten, ist in recht einfachem Englisch geschrieben (eine deutsche Übersetzung ist in Arbeit) und kostet 14,90€ (+Verpackung/Porto 2,50€). In Deutschland momentan nur erhältlich bei [mailto:info@strongtools.de info@strongtools.de].
