The Osho Upanishad


The Osho Upanishad



This book begins with the question, "Could you please explain the work of a mystery school?" And Osho goes on to describe the support that such schools give to the seekers of truth, throughout time, the world over.

Commencing this series of talks at the completion of his World Tour, Osho declares the beginning of a new phase of his own work saying: "Books can be written, can be dictated to a machine, but what I am going to start is totally different. It is an upanishad."

Osho explains that "Upanishad" means to be taken into the world of the master - and this is the work of his mystery school. Responding to a myriad of insightful, existential and sincere questions - What is mysticism? What is fear? What is freedom? Buddha, Rinzai, Krishnamurti, Marx, Gandhi, Bodhidharma, Nietzsche, Jesus, Gurdjieff, Zarathustra - they all become grist to Osho’s mill, bringing the reader to the point of awareness where all questions begin to disappear.
