Back cover:
Here is an extraordinary, intimate protrait of one of our times's foremost spiritual leaders and of life in his ashram near Poona, India. Leaf quickly through the photo-filled pages of this book. You will see expressed in the faces and bodies of those who come to the ashram every human emotion, from ecstasy to rage. For life with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is a life in which the deepest emotions and passions are explored and brought to the surface. East and West meet here in a blending of techniques that heighten awareness: meditation - crafts - singin - dancing - chanting - music - mime - Tai Chi - Karate - tantra - rolfing - Gestalt encounter - bioenergetics - body awareness - the Alexander Technique.
The book gives an introduction to the Ashram, simple instructions for the meditation-techniques, and some Q&A's from Osho.
By far the largest part, 125 pages, is a beautiful photo-collection of participants in the meditations.
