WAS OSHO SPIRITUAL ?

WAS OSHO SPIRITUAL ?


@Vaibhav Kumar : Indeed, hexwas very perceptive, creative, original and forthright in his assertions about life and its manifold aspects. He took a very unconventional line in his arguments which was often shocking but true, nonetheless, for his statements were founded upon apparent truths that were often uncontestable.But his allowance of licentious living in his ashramas was the centre of much controversy and remain in the opinion of many as the dark spot in his career as a spiritual master. Spirituality lays great stress on continence, purity, chastity et al which was not quite what Bhagavan Rajneesh, later Osho, stressed on. Rather he led his followers along a lustful path in practice, it is alleged, which he described as love in his own specific definition of the term where 'naturalness' was the key factor. This was in sharp contrast to what Vivekananda or most other great spiritual teachers gave traditionally preached. Another thing was Osho's grand style of living with a fleet of 108 Rolls Royce cars in his kitty. This was quite unlike being truly spiritual in the classical sense of a Vivekananda. Hence.
