The Revolution

A fiery book alive with Osho’s love for Kabir and for the only revolution that counts: enlightenment.

It is the only revolution that can bring about a total transformation so that we can once again see the world through eyes free of all the judgments and conditionings that have been put there from the outside.

In Osho’s hands, Kabir’s vision is equally if not more mind-shattering.

Returning to the Source (Second Edition)

Talks on Zen

This book is a glorious mixture of no-nonsense Zen and sublime poetic mystery.

Being ordinary, says Osho, is the most extraordinary phenomenon possible. He uses stories about many different Zen masters to illustrate the timeless power and magic of Zen and its potential to transform contemporary humanity.

A Zen master is nothing special: he meditates, and has a wonderful sense of humor, but also goes to the forest to cut wood because winter is approaching… He does many things just like an ordinary man but with an extraordinary awareness.

Zen doesn’t believe in renouncing the world or not renouncing the world; the basic thing is just to be alert wherever we are. Zen gives us total freedom; our lifestyle doesn’t matter. All that counts is our awareness, which will take us back to our original source.

“If you are courageous and you don’t go backwards, if you don’t fall back to the ego and you go on and on, there is a hidden center within you that you have been carrying for many lives. That is your soul, the atman, the self.”
Osho

Reflections on Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet

2010-09-09T21:20:00.004+05:30

Reflections on Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet

Osho loves Gibran, but, unlike the millions before him who have just extolled the beauty and splendor of his words, he sees not only where Gibran soars and takes flight, but also the times where his words fall again to the earth – still beautiful, but ultimately missing an existential depth.

In Reflections, Osho examines Gibran’s poetic explorations of life – and goes further. He looks at whether Gibran is “a mystic of the highest order,” simply a poet “who speaks in words of gold” – or perhaps an extraordinary mixture of the two.

Throughout this book, Osho comprehensively trounces the so-called religious and philosophical approaches to life. All that is of worth is to be found, not in the extraordinary, but in the ordinary; not in fantastical ideas of the other world but in this very world that we find ourselves in. In short, this book shows that making a simple yet utterly basic shift in our lives will awaken the silence in our beings and bring joy into our every moment.

“Kahlil Gibran… The very name brings so much ecstasy and joy that it is impossible to think of another name comparable to him. Just hearing the name, bells start ringing in the heart which do not belong to this world. Kahlil Gibran is pure music, a mystery, such that only poetry can sometimes grasp, but only sometimes.”
Osho

The Psychology of the Esoteric

The Psychology of the Esoteric (Third Edition)
Insights into Energy and Consciousness

In these talks, Osho explores the world of the esoteric. He gives insight and meaning to the subtlest expressions of human energy including kundalini, tension and relaxation in the seven energy bodies, and the significance of dreaming. He shows how by simply being in the present moment and becoming aware or our vital energy, our ordinary, day-today lives can become filled with wonder and mystery.

“Existence is energy, the movement of energy in so many shapes and so many forms.”
Osho

Philosophia Perennis, Vol. 1

2010-09-01T22:43:00.003+05:30

Philosophia Perennis, Vol. 1

Talks on Pythagoras, the Philosopher and Mystic

Many of us know Pythagoras’ famous theorem in geometry but few of us are aware that he also traveled extensively in search of truth, learning from many mystery schools.

Being both mathematician and mystic, he was the first enlightened person to experiment with creating a synthesis between science and mysticism. So Pythagoras is a man close to Osho’s heart, with this understanding that materialism and spirituality – East and West, body and soul – exist together, as complementary parts of a harmonious whole.

All that remains of Pythagoras’ mystical teachings are these Golden Verses of Pythagoras, on which Osho expands, giving us insights into Pythagoras’ profound understanding of the mysteries of existence, and his commonsense approach to life.

The Perfect Way

Osho answers fundamental questions about what meditation is, and how we can begin and sustain it in our lives. He does this with precision, thoroughness, humor, and compassion. Here is someone who knows, but who also knows how to convey what he knows. His genius in full flight, he points us as far as one can with words toward the inner world of the self, toward the zone of silence.

“When there are no thoughts, it is then that we come to know the one hidden by our thoughts. When there are no clouds the blue sky is revealed. My friends, there is a sky within you as well.”
Osho

The Path of Yoga

2010-09-01T22:18:00.005+05:30

The Path of Yoga
Talks on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Osho describes Patanjali as “like an Einstein in the world of buddhas” for creating an inner science of man, yoga, that is so accurate and which thousands of years later still provides a transformational guide for humanity of freedom through consciousness.

“This mind cannot enter on the path of Yoga because Yoga means a methodology to reveal the truth. Yoga is a method to come to a non-dreaming mind. Yoga is the science to be in the here and now. Yoga means now you are ready not to move into the future. Yoga means now you are ready not to hope, not to jump ahead of your being. Yoga means to encounter the reality as it is.”
Osho

The Path of the Mystic

2010-09-01T22:15:00.001+05:30

The Path of the Mystic
In Search of the Ultimate Freedom

When Osho was forced to leave the United States, he spent many months traveling around the world with a small group of people in search of a place to continue his work.These talks in The Path of the Mystic were given in Uruguay.

Osho is speaking to, “the millions of people who want some more consciousness in their being.” He proposes a world where we are not just living together, but growing together – a worldwide mystery school of people who don’t just want to change society, but are willing to experiment and risk everything to find truth.

“Truth cannot be borrowed. It cannot be studied in books. Nobody can inform you about it. You have to sharpen yourself, your intelligence, so that you can look into existence and find it.”
Osho

Osho

The Path of Love

On the Songs of the Indian Mystic Kabir

Kabir is a 15th Century Indian mystic. A poet, weaver, husband and father, he is enlightened and yet an ordinary man. His poetic songs tell of the ecstasy and the pitfalls on a seeker’s journey on the path of love.

Osho describes Kabir as one of the greatest mystics ever born and dedicated five series of talks to Kabir’s work.

“Love is the secret key; it opens the door of the divine.”
Osho

The Osho Upanishad

2010-09-01T21:58:00.001+05:30

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.

One Seed Can Make the Whole Earth Green

2010-09-01T21:53:00.005+05:30

One Seed Can Make the Whole Earth Green

In Osho’s understanding Zen is the approach to religion that has not put fetters on mankind. These four talks pay homage to Zen’s reverence for life and its celebration of the everyday. He sees in Zen a seed, pregnant with infinite potential. Interspersed with his comments on anecdotes about the Zen masters Rinzai and Fuketsu, Osho addresses current issues.

With characteristic forthrightness he shows how society diverges from what it preaches and how it lives. This beautifully designed volume of talks also features commentaries on haikus, and a great selection of jokes!

Nowhere to Go but In

Nowhere to Go but In
Unique answers to real questions

In this book Osho answers a wide range of seeker’s questions, speaking on themes such as the nature of enlightenment, the seeking of spiritual powers, the relationship between meditation and love; on love and marriage, marriage and sex, sex as a meditation and Tantra.

In explaining a meditation technique called "tratak," Osho says it is "an experiment in just looking. It can be done under the open sky, in nature -- looking without mentally processing the images on the eye. In a short while you will find that the outside sky has entered you; that the sky outside and the sky within you have merged to become the great sky, all boundaries have disappeared."

Reviews:
"Osho is an enlightened master who is working with all possibilities to help humanity overcome a difficult phase in developing consciousness."
The Dalai Lama

"Osho is a mystical giant, a flowering of a unique intelligence and one of those rare humans ex-pressing himself with joy."
Paul Reps, author of Zen Flesh, Zen Bones.

Nine Sutras

2009-12-09T00:40:00.003+05:30

Nine Sutras

Osho talks for the first time on his own Nine Sutras. Opening boundless new dimensions to the meaning and significance of the word yoga, he illuminates its vast scope and takes us way beyond what may well be our limited and limiting understanding of it. Using modern scientific knowledge to help us experiment with and experience our inner world, Osho gives us an in-depth introduction to his famous Dynamic meditation and takes us on a timeless journey into the beyond, home to ourselves.

"I have told you these Nine Sutras, not so that your knowledge may increase, not so that you may become more knowledgeable I have said all these things in the hope that, perhaps, you may get nudged a little, and you may take off on some journey."
-Osho

The New Alchemy: To Turn You On

2009-12-09T00:32:00.005+05:30

The New Alchemy
To Turn You On

The New Alchemy: To Turn You On is a practical, detailed guide for those exploring meditation. Osho has a vast understanding of the steps and pitfalls along the way and the unique gift of communicating them directly and simply: “Whenever you have found a technique, a way, retreat within, go within. Experiment with it there, in your subjectivity, in your heart. Experience it. Don’t just go on thinking about what meditation is. Do it! Only then will you know what it is.”

While the emphasis is on active meditation, Osho skillfully interweaves commentaries on Mabel Collins’ Light on the Path, to further support the seeker’s understanding: “These are the sutras achieved by ultimate wisdom. They are deep and sometimes very complex, even contradictory, but they are the ultimate flowering of wisdom.”

Reviews

"No one is more qualified to introduce the mystics than Osho, a man who stands out even in their exalted company. He speaks from his own experience, bringing his mystic predecessors to life, making them his contemporaries."
John Lilly

No Water, No Moon

2009-12-09T00:27:00.004+05:30

No Water, No Moon

Brimming with paradox and humor, OSHO is guaranteed to shake, shock and delight with these discourses based on Zen stories.

This book is about sudden enlightenment – that supreme moment when we cease struggling to understand with our minds matters that are beyond the mind, and jump wholeheartedly into the abyss. OSHO offers us deep insights into ourselves, our individual natures and the universe.

'I found No Water, No Moon one of the most refreshing, cleansing and delightful books I could imagine. It is a book which will never cease to be a comforting companion.'
-Yehudi Menuhin

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare

2009-12-09T00:21:00.004+05:30

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare

Why does Osho say that nirvana, enlightenment, is a nightmare – and not only a nightmare but the last nightmare? Because as long as we keep hoping for some future paradise, we are sacrificing the present moment for a moment that will never come. Our desire to achieve nirvana becomes the very obstacle to its happening.

Osho challenges us to wake up and stop dreaming. He exposes the tricks and habits of our minds that keep us from being in the here and now, living this moment totally.

As he retells five beautiful Zen stories and relates them to our lives today, we begin to discover the art of being present and joyful in the simple ordinariness of life.

Notes of a Madman

Notes of a Madman

Osho creates a loosely woven tapestry of vivid, humorous and touching impressions and glimpses giving the feeling we are having a personal meeting with the master.

This small volume is one of three unique books from talks given in the unlikely setting of his dental sessions. In this atmosphere, Osho speaks in a poetic way on a wild and wonderful range of subject. It is a rare and intimate glimpse of enlightenment. He speaks on danger, beauty, madness, freedom, the fool. He tells us that fear is the only enemy of women.

He weaves haikus of his own, and haikus from Zen mystics, with a loved Tibetan mantra: "Of the mortal and the immortal, of darkness and light, of the changing and the unchanging...Om mani padme hum."
