How V. K. Singh became a disciple of Osho - an interesting story

It was a cold January of 1979. V. K. Singh was going to participate in the Indian Science Congress at Ahmedabad. He asked one of his friends, Dr. J.P. Sinha, a Central School Hindi teacher, whether he could give him any book for reading during traveling. Dr. Sinha instantly agreed and asked him whether he would like to read a book by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

He reacted sharply, “Do you mean that sex guru who talks on sex to samadhi?”

“Have you read any one of his books?” Dr Sinha enquired.

“No, not at all, but I have read his criticisms in various newspapers.”

“Brother, is it proper for a man of wisdom like you to frame any opinion about a person without knowing him or reading his books directly?”

Singh felt sorry. He asked Dr Sinha to kindly give a book of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Dr Sinha obliged him gladly and gave him one of his books in Hindi on Lord Krishna entitled ’Krishna Meri Dristi Me.’ Its translation in English has been published with the title ’Krishna-the Man and the Philosophy.’

He did not open the book till his arrival at Mount Abu. Before going to sleep he just opened the book. The very first sentence thrilled him and made him so ecstatic that he could not resist reading the book for almost the whole night. He woke up next morning as a different person altogether.

“So this is the person I was looking for,” he murmured.

After returning from the journey, he profusely thanked Dr Sinha and asked him, “At many places in his book Bhagwan is mentioning about meditation. Do you know any one of his meditation techniques?"

“Yes, I know a few.”

Dr Sinha was kind enough to teach him Dynamic meditation. Singh started doing it sincerely every morning. He felt better every day. But the most wonderful experience he had was on 6th July, 1979, when during the meditation he went out of body. What a thrilling experience it was! He immediately decided to be Osho's disciple.

He started looking for some other friends and disciples of Bhagwan Rajneesh, who could give him company. Finally he along with three other friends went to Pune on 10th May, 1980. There he was told that being disciple of Bhagwan Rajneesh means taking sannyas. He took sannyas in this great tradition on 13th May, 1980. He was also given Urja Darshan on 15th May, 1980. Now, Swami Anand Siddharth went to Pune again in December,1980. Osho blessed him again by Urja Darshan and asked him to look after His Sannyasins. Siddharth was perplexed since he did not find himself worthy of this great responsibility.

Siddharth started working very hard on himself. Every morning he did Dynamic meditation, every evening Kundalini meditation, and in addition remembering his breath all day - Vipassana meditation.
