#What is osho pro#
The PRO of the commune has in the past stated that a journalist had a greater chance of interviewing the Pope than meeting this head of the Inner Circle. To say that Swami Jayesh is obsessed with secrecy is a huge understatement. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has copyrighted Transcendental Meditation and just underneath it you will find written TM - that means trademark! For ten thousand years the East has been meditating and nobody has put trademarks upon meditations. But perhaps the West cannot understand the difference between an objective commodity and an inner experience. Things can be copyrighted, thoughts cannot be copyrighted, and certainly meditations cannot be copyrighted. What this also means is that the ten days of meditation I participated in, without written permission from the Osho International Foundation, was in violation of US copyright laws. It means he now controls, almost unchecked, a growing empire whose annual revenue has been estimated at $100 million, not counting revenue from the worldwide sale of books, audio cassettes and video tapes. What this means is that the head of the Inner Circle, Swami Jayesh, has registered with himself, and a few unnamed “colleagues”, the copyright of almost everything connected with Osho, having by-passed the 21-member Inner Circle (almost two-thirds of whose original members have already left or were asked to leave anyway). The Foundation’s permission is necessary in order to conduct any of these therapies or meditations. All therapies and meditation techniques devised by Osho have a copyright, vested in the Foundation. The PIL says that the word ‘Osho’ is now a registered trademark owned by the Osho International Foundation, based in Zurich. And one of Osho’s senior-most Indian disciples and head of the Osho Om Bodhisattva commune in Dehra Dun, Swami Narendra Bodhisattva, is planning to file a public interest litigation (PIL) later this year against the Inner Circle on the issue of copyright. After repeated disagreements, the Manan commune in Gujarat called for a meeting to decide on the scope of authority of the Pune commune. The Osho Chetana Centre in Bengal has refused to accept the Inner Circle’s conditions for the translation and publication of Osho’s books.
The Osho Tapoban commune in Nepal has cut its links with the Pune commune. Today, seven years later, people are listening. And that one man, Swami Jayesh’s all-consuming ambition was destroying Osho’s dream. In July 1993, the Inner Circle banned Chaitanya Bharti.Īt the time, he had forcefully argued that the Inner Circle, formed after Osho passed away, was trying to create a monopoly on meditation. All of which should have made the Swami a venerated figure within the world of Osho. When Osho ‘left his body’ in 1991, he left a message for Chaitanya Bharti to continue conducting camps as he had the capacity to take Osho’s message to the people. In 1974, when Osho stopped conducting camps, he appointed Chaitanya Bharti to conduct camps on his behalf. He met Osho in 1969, and was among the first to be given sanyas. Two rows ahead of me on the Royal Nepal Airlines flight is the Osho disciple who conducted the camp, Swami Chaitanya Bharti. I’m flying home having just attended a meditation camp held at the Oshodham commune in Nepal. e-mail posted on the ‘Friends Of Osho’ website, The only answer I got, from Ma Shunyo of the IC, was, “Thank you for your letter”. Does there exist a signed document with Osho’s signature approving this? Is there a tape recording? I don’t remember any discourse where He talks about an Inner Circle to take care of things after He leaves His body.
What proof is there that Osho selected a group of twenty-one people to run the ashram after he had left his body? I wrote to the Pune ashram about two years ago, asking them for proof that Osho wanted an Inner Circle which would keep its workings secret.
e-mail sent to the Inner Circle by a former British Osho sanyasi, now a self-proclaimed enlightened mystic Ishwara Maitreya, who claims to channel e-mails from God, “the Source”. The fire of consciousness will burn you very clean, very fast… Aalif Surti, who has followed the story for many years, uncovers the chilling tale of this endgame.Īs you can tell, the end is nigh. They accuse its Canadian head Swami Jayesh of being obsessed with secrecy and control. Communes in other cities around the world are rebelling against the powerful Inner Circle that runs the Pune ashram. His followers are fighting over his legacy - his methods of meditation, the copyright of Osho books and music, and even over his signature. Less than ten years after Osho ʻleft his bodyʼ, his commune is falling apart. This article was first published in MW’s June 2000 issue
