Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy

From The Sannyas Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Osho's first "official" sannyasins, according to info supplied by Ma Dharm Jyoti, as posted on the website of Sw Satrakshita:
Front L to R: Ma Yoga Laxmi, Ma Dharm Jyoti, Ma Yoga Prem, two unknown kids, Ma Yoga Bhagwati, Ma Yoga Samadhi
Behind L to R: four unknown, Sw Anand Murti, Ma Krishna Karuna, Sw Chaitanya Bharti, Ma Anand Madhu, Sw Yoga Chinmaya, Sw Govind Siddharth


The Indian mystic Krishna lived many centuries ago, yet in him Osho sees a man far ahead of his time, whose time, even now, is still to come. Where most orthodox religions are anti life, Krishna's revolutionary insight is that a really religious life is one that is enjoyed and embraced fully. This series of discourses is devoted entirely to questions from seekers, and in his responses Osho gives glimpses of the vast joy to be found when life is embraced fully.
