The Sound of Silence, the Diamond in the Lotus ‘Nobody has to lead you and nobody has to save you,’ insists a radical and rebellious Osho as he launches a series of attacks on false knowledge and oppression. His vision is of a world changed by the love that arises from meditation. He considers the mantra ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ the best attempt to describe ‘the beauty within yourself’. This inner truth is the ‘real thing’, not the teachings of society, politicians and priests. Starting with the Chinese invasion of Tibet, and replying to questions on divisive educational systems, science corrupted by politics, and oppressive religions, Osho keeps saying that love is the key and we all have everything we need within ourselves.

Description

About Author

Osho defies categorization. His thousands of talks cover everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing society today. Osho’s books are not written but are transcribed from audio and video recordings of his extemporaneous talks to international audiences. As he puts it, “So remember: whatever I am saying is not just for you... I am talking also for the future generations.” Osho has been described by The Sunday Times in London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by American author Tom Robbins as “the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.” Sunday Mid-Day (India) has selected Osho as one of ten people – along with Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha – who have changed the destiny of India. About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He often characterizes this new human being as “Zorba the Buddha” – capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautama the Buddha. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho’s talks and meditations is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of all ages past and the highest potential of today’s (and tomorrow’s) science and technology. Osho is known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. His unique OSHO Active Meditations™ are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is then easier to take an experience of stillness and thought-free relaxation into daily life.
