The Rajneesh Upanishad

Commencing this series of talks at the completion of his World Tour, Osho declares the beginning of a new phase of his work. One day this era will be recalled in history: "Books can be written, can be dictated to a machine, but what I am going to start is totally different. It is an upanishad." Osho explains that upanishad means to be taken into the world of the master - and this is the work of his mystery school. Thousands of his disciples take advantage of their first opportunity to be with their master in over a year. His responses to their questions about the master-disciple connection provide a keen insight into what it is about this man that attracts so many hundreds of thousands of intelligent and courageous people worldwide.
