Introduction
There is a Indian teacher who also gives satsang and leads groups in Russia who IS a disciple of Osho's, and calls himself Swami Rajneesh ( Lover of Osho like we all are). Recently he published a book in India called "Tears of the Mystic Rose" which allegedly makes challenging reading. Sannyasnews hope to review when a copy becomes available in the West. The book seems to have upset the popes of the "Inner Circle" the people who run Osho's temporal affairs in Pune and elsewhere (?). They published the following letter about the book. Swami Rajneesh's reply is also included below.

Swami Rajneesh replies to the Circular. 21 January 2008
To all my most beloved friends and fellow travellers as 19 January was my Beloved Master Osho's Mahaparinirvan day I choose to remain silent. : The inner circle message was sent on 15 January.
My book which is a mysterious love story between a master and a disciple was released on 19 January. This circle of dictators have not even read a single word of my book, Tears of the Mystic Rose. I challenge them to read it first and then send out an informed and intelligent message about me and the contents of the book
I have been a devotee and disciple of Osho for 26 years since 1981. After Osho left his body I remained silent and alone living in the Himalayas in Manali for 17 years without speaking or teaching or becoming a therapist or running any centre - simply alone and moving on my inner path silently. I have come back to Poona after 17 years existence and my love for Osho has made me come out into the world.
The Inner Circle letter: regarding : from someone who calls himself " Swami Rajneesh ". It who was Osho himself who changed my name from Swami Rajnish to Swami Rajneesh, just a few days before leaving his body Osho mysteriously pointed me out in the Buddha Hall in front of 5000 sannyasins, a secret and mystery which I have finally decided to reveal to the whole world. My story of love reveals all the mysteries I have mentioned in my website below. Read and challenge me, I am now available to all. Just so you know this is just a local guruji play here in India, As Osho says " In India there is one on every corner.... that I am playing guruji…even if I were to wrongly accept this label….ok !! Osho also says beware of dictators like Sheela and Hitlers and fascism.
What role is the inner circle playing ?? dictators ?? or facists ?? Osho dreamt of each and every street dancing with his sannyasins singing songs of love for their beloved master. Each of us are his dream and I am honored to dance on every street corner of India if I had to sing his song of love
That swami Rajneesh is banned from the ‘ resort ‘: ….great news… am I banned for one month or six months or 2 years or 10 years or 25 years or forever or one lifetime or the next two rebirths. Anyway I live with the best company of rebels - the outer circle of the banned misfits.
Remembrances of 19 January when Osho died is banned from the resort. Celebration of Osho birthday is banned from the resort. Celebration of Osho enlightment day is banned from the resort. Celebration of masters days is banned from the resort. Thousands of loving disciples are banned from the resort. 15 of the original of the inner circle themselves are banned from the resort. If they are the infallible popes of our enforcement resort then why are they all divided the original 21 are now 6.
Osho mala is banned from the resort. Osho pictures are banned from the resort. Osho songs of love are banned from the resort. The display of reverence and gratitude for our beloved master is banned from the resort bowing to the sacred Buddha hall is banned from the resort. The term samadhi is banned from the resort. The term ashram is banned from the resort. The term swami is banned from the resort. Namaste is banned from the resort. The buddha hall podium where our beloved master was brought for the last time for his last rites has been brutally destroyed and smashed where people today walk on this sacred holy podium with shoes and boots. The Samadhi marble memorial has been removed, his memorial photo loved all over the world has been replaced with a bronze head. Alcohol is flowing freely in the multiplaza where one pays thousands of dollars in therapies to grow towards consciousness, drunken sannyasins fall on the floor at Saturday nights plaza parties
Alcohol stinks 50 meters from the sacred Samadhi, 25 meters from Buddha hall, foul cigarette smell floats hundreds of meters around. This is the dream of our great master Osho being taken care of by the inner circle. They should be personally standing at the gate receiving each and every loving seeker of truth with a welcome and a song receiving each and every sannyasin with warmth and compassion. The higher the person in authority the greater is his responsibility to be conscious of his actions. The inner circle has been given the mandate to take care of mundane matters only. They do not possess even an iota of power to interfere into spiritual considerations
The barbaric destruction of the Buddha hall is not a mundane matter. The removal of the marble memorial is not a mundane matter.The aggressive snatching and banning of wearing of the mala is not a mundane matter. Removing his photos is not a mundane matter. Barring expressions of gratitude is not a mundane matter. Not allowing his song to be sung is not a mundane matter
A member of the inner circle Yogendra ( Darcey O' Brien ) dared to state in the New York Times: “someone comes in and there are, like, 1,000 pictures of this dead guy and they're like - Whoa, get me out of here “ Osho is that dead guy - enough of this bullshit
Now who are these 21 retarded monkeys. We are millions of sannyasins silent to the misuse of power and domination by the retarded. The food voucher states “just a meeting place for friends “ - is this a barrista coffee shop. This is a sacred space….not a place but a temple for fellow travelers seeking the truth. All rebels in our sannyasin world should ban the term resort. Osho only said make the ashram with resort like facilities. It is not an ashram, it is not a commune, it is not a resort, it is a Temple. Oshos Temple of Love. Each and every sannyasin has the right to protect and to question spiritual considerations. A huge fire and rebellious debate is needed to determine the actual powers vested in these retarded, ungrateful and loveless inner circle. They have the power to ban. They should learn real power - the power to love.
Yes, we Indians are stupid devotional types and gratefully remember and dedicate our lives to his flame of love: we are free to express our religiousness
our gratitude in any way we wish, we will protect our freedom of expression of religiousness.
Sannyasins are not sheep, that you create the fear of banning, this is the lowest form of blackmail. Osho says do not make a religion out of me where did he say expression of religiousness was barred.
So wake up, you have been given time with compassion. The inner circle beware of your actions grow up and act consciously, behave humanly, you are merely caretakers of mundane matters, not masters.

Re: For and Against Swami Rajneesh
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 1:16 PMRecently I heard that the Ashram in Poona is for sale...
I know the fellow, I remember seeing him as blacklisted in "the Book" the guards had at the front desk as I was a guard in Poona for quite sometime...there were all kinds of people blacklisted, most of them referred to as cockoo or nuts...
As to his being enlightened, I cannot say...but I do remember the face. As a matter of fact there were so many cockoo people allowed into the Ashram that I cannot say why this guy wasn't. Truthfully, I have no idea what the criteria was for blacklisting someone and denying them entry. I remember one story . A friend of mine was banned from the Ashram for unknown reasons and happened to be outside the gateless gate when a guy appeared smeared with blood and mud. It looked like he was totally out of it and in pretty bad state... I was just returning to the front desk after a rounders tour (I was a rounder guard at the time). Nobody wanted to deal with this crazy out of it guy smeared all over with blood and muddripping from his head. My friend was just at that moment there, I told him to wait. The I told one of the front desk guards to sit down with the guy while I went and got the Ma in charge. She was about to have a date with a boyfriend and clearly pissed off but after repeatedly telling her to come to the front gate she did come. When she saw this guy she was totally turned off by the whole thing. At that very moment I got my banned friend and told her I had a deal for her. He was going to take care of the crazy fellow and take him to Ruby Hall clinic. Meanwhile the guy was muttering stuff like "I am very afraid of police, do you know Sting?". For that act of compassion my banned friend was to be allowed back into the Ashram , get a workers pass and free meals and a job of his choosing. She said no way, to which I replied ok, then we all go now, returned into the Ashram and my friend started walking away, at that moment the Ma said hang on! Ok, you have a deal. from that point on after the poor other fella was taken care of my friend was allowed back in and did get a workers pass. So to this day, I still do not know the criteria as to why someone was banned or as they called it :" Not at all allowed at the ASHRAM " .
The story still cracks me up ... -

Re: For and Against Swami Rajneesh
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 3:29 PM...to his being enlightened, I cannot say...
Did anyone say? Can you ever tell?
As for the rest being a guard must be an honour, it is fascist too.
Banning and unbanning is fascistic, we Europeans know. You US people will soon know to tell.

Re: For and Against Swami Rajneesh
Thu, May 15, 2008 - 2:02 AMYeah, it felt pretty stupid at times the whole blues with that green book. As to being a guard was concerned it was a constant thing to cope with all kinds of crazy situations, not just the one I mentioned. I better not mention the time I was in Zorba the Buddha kitchen when I had to stand between a japanese and an italian guy who had to be kept apart at that particular moment... or some crazy indian who tried to climb across the wall into Lao Tzu to harm OSHO, it was a constant learning process, awreness, like a constant shock therapy, many seemingly impossible tasks that somehow had to be managed. It certainly was great fun too. And somehow it always worked out. Certainly not the way I was thinking it should, more like the right way. Being a guard has nothing to do with fascism, abusing the power that you have when you are at the gateless gate certainly is. And for that lesson amongst many others I am immensely greatful ! Oh and I am also greatful for the great food mariam always supplied us with when we were on nightshift. Just walking around and feeling the Ashram at night with no one around except a few guards at the gates and Osho's energy was something else... so in that sense, yes it was certainly an honor to be a rounder... -

Re: For and Against Swami Rajneesh
Fri, December 19, 2008 - 4:04 PMThe message from Swami Rajneesh is an interesting read, and he has a valid point.
I also don't see any problem in his using the name Rajneesh for himself. Rajneesh was the given name, by his parents, of Osho. So it must be an Indian name used by others than just Bhagwan/Osho. And it is an Indian tradition to name others, or oneself, by the names of Gods or respected individuals. How many people are named Krishna or Rama, for instance? -

Re: For and Against Swami Rajneesh
Fri, December 19, 2008 - 4:41 PMI admit I hadn't heard of Swami Rajneesh before coming to this tribe today. I'm pretty much out of the loop on Osho related topics lately.
So upon further reading here, I see that Swami Rajneesh's given name was Rajnish, and that Osho himself changed his name to Rajneesh.
I don't know why the powers that be at the Meditation resort in Pune have banned this individual. Maybe because he is claiming to be Osho reincarnated. I imagine they'd hate that. Perhaps that is going too far, or maybe his using the term reincarnated is a misunderstanding of what is meant. Americans and Europeans having a black and white definition of the word reincarnated.
I think Osho's spirit would be happy that any of his disciples who can carry his message of Love to the world and carry on his teachings through our own earthly vessels are doing so.
