View source for Sannyas Online


This page only shows the largest Sannyas websites that act as entry points into the maze of Sannyas online. This is not a place for your personal self-promotional site, musings and meanderings. Those sites can be linked from your personal wiki pages. [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|See here]] how you can arrange that.

Sites listed on this page can be of several types but all will have a central raison d'être of information about Osho and his people. All may have an angle, and all the angles can be celebrated as contributing to the diversity of Osho's sangha and legacy. Most of the big sites in the first group are collective enterprises, the few exceptions being important and unique contributions to the ocean of Osho/sannyas info.

Suggestions are welcome! Please list them on [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|the discussion page]].
