Important Sannyas Information Websites
(proposed title, other ideas welcome, same re category)

This page is the only member of the Important Sannyas Information Websites category, to emphasize that this is not a place for your personal self-promotional site, musings and meanderings. Those sites can be linked from your personal wiki pages. 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 vast sites in the first group are collective enterprises, the few exceptions being important and unique contributions to the infinite ocean of Osho/sannyas info.

Suggestions are welcome for additions to this page.


General Sites

(The sites in this group focus on different aspects of Osho/sannyas but all are vast ...)

The official website of Osho International Foundation and the Pune Osho Meditation Resort.
It has all Osho's digital audios and books for sale, though often in a slightly edited form.

LoveOsho
Podcast interviews with a huge variety of sannyasins from everywhere doing everything, once a week, sometimes more, plus blogs and meditations. Run by Sw Prem Swaram and Ma Dhyan Chetna.
Sannyas Names
Filling an enormous gap in the literature on sannyas names, this project of Samudroprem has over 300 pages (pdf) of names, their meaning, origin and more. No Freds or Marys though.
Active Meditation
Created by Maneesha and some academic friends, thorough understanding of why active methods needed, with lots of testimonials and Osho quotes, but only one particular method discussed, Dynamic.
OSHO Life And Vision
Bio stresses Osho's rebelliousness, originality and totality, loaded with quotes from contemporary non-affiliated journalists and religious leaders. "Vision" section derived from hours of private talks with Anando. Site is anonymous.
