Please look around and get to know this wiki before you start making changes.


Click on any image in the wiki to zoom in to full size.


To add your entry in friends of Osho :

  • Get a User Account in this Wiki. You need a working email address for that.
    • NOTE: once you have a user name, people can email you without your email address ever being exposed to anyone.
  • now, log in with your user name.
  • To create a page about yourself, just enter the page title in the search box on the left.

  • If there is already a page with that name, do not change the existing page, but use something like "Ma Prem Rose (2)"
  • If the page does not exist, the wiki will ask you to create it.

  • Click on "create this page"
  • Great, you are now editing your page...
  • When you're done, save the page (click the Save page button at the bottom of the page)...voila.


Q:How do I add my page(s) under the Name, Location or Topic categories?

A: When you edit a page, add at the bottom of the page any number of "category" entries (incl. the square brackets):

For example, the following entries will list "Ma Prem Rose" in the "Browse by Name" section of the wiki

[[category:Names|Rose, Ma Prem]]

the "Browse by Location" section under the town of "New York"

[[category:New York|Rose, Ma Prem]]

and the "Browse by Topic" section under "Computers & Internet"

[[category:Computers & Internet|Rose, Ma Prem]]

You may list your page under as many Topics as you see fit, but only under one Location.
General articles (non-user-pages) should only be listed under Topics, unless they refer to a specific Location.


We don't want "anonymous" users here.
Please introduce yourself once you have an account.
Unused accounts will be deleted after a few weeks.


If you have a center, add your ongoing events on your center page in the wiki and add your current events in the News section of the wiki.

Use the Community Portal to start informal chit chats with friends in your area.
You can use the Community Portal like a sandbox and add new pages with any title you like.


Q: what are the "discussion" tabs/pages for ?

A: they are a space to discuss the page you are looking at, nothing else. every page in the wiki has a discussion/talk page attached to it, incl this help page. they are usually used by several authors to discuss changes to the actual page to avoid "editing wars".
