Krishna pdf

Chandra Mohan Jain (December 11, 1931 - January 19, 1990), also known as Acharya Rajneesh from 1960 onwards, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh between 1970 and 1980, and Osho since 1989. He was an Indian mystic, guru and spiritual teacher followers from all over the world. A professor of philosophy, he traveled all over India during the 1960s as a public speaker. His outspoken criticism of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi and organized religions stirred controversy around him. He advocated a more open attitude towards sexual relations, which earned him the nickname "sex guru" in the Indian and later world press. In 1970 Rajneesh settled for a time in Bombay where he became a spiritual teacher among his disciples known as the Neo-Sunnis. In Talks he reinterpreted the writings of religious traditions, mystics and philosophers from around the world. He moved to Pune in 1974 where he established an ashram (silo) that attracted increasing numbers of Westerners. In mid-1981 Rajneesh moved to the United States, where his followers established an intentional community (later known as Rajneeshpuram) in Oregon. He was arrested and charged with violating immigration laws. Rajneesh was deported from the US under a plea bargain. Twenty-one countries banned him from entering their territories, and he finally returned to Pune, where he died in 1990. The Rajneesh Ashram in Pune is today known as the Osho International Meditation Producer. His interfaith teaching emphasizes the importance of contemplation, awareness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humour: qualities that were seen as suppressed and repressed by adherence to fixed belief systems, religious traditions and socialization. Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable influence on Western spirituality, as well as New Age thought, and have increased in popularity since his death.

Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy

 This book, Krishna: The Man & His Philosophy, gives wonderful new insights into the character of the mysterious and intriguing Krishna.
Summary Of The Book
Treating Krishna not as a piece of myth or the product of a poet’s imagination, but as a real historical figure, Osho answers several questions put forth by his disciples about Krishna.
Krishna is one personality who never fails to intrigue people who learn about the culture of India. To Indians, he is God personified. Even to non-believers, he is a figure who cannot be ignored. Taking in all aspects of Krishna’s life, Osho portrays him as a liberated soul, a man far ahead of his times. He says to the readers that in Krishna they can see themselves, if they are willing to shed their preconceived notions and inhibitions.
In Osho’s view, Krishna is a man who lived life as it should be lived. He accepted the world and life itself at its own terms. As Osho points out, religious people accept god but not the world they live in, while atheists accept the world they live in but not the concept of God.
Krishna was the only person, says Osho, who accepted both the world and God. And so, he had no difficulty in involving himself in all the worldly affairs that his life entailed, while at the same time realizing the highest philosophical truth of the divinity of all existence.
He lived fully in the materialistic world, and yet was able to view his life dispassionately when needed. This enabled him to teach his beloved friend, Arjuna, the highest truths about the world, the soul, about upholding one’s duty and about reaching the highest spiritual goal of liberation without cutting oneself off from the world.
