Osho -’’India is the only country in the world that has valued a bhikshu even more than an emperor’’





"Few people have understood India like Osho.
It was an understanding at many levels: the philosophical, the historic, the purely emotional-- and even the political and literary, 
the wanton
and the spiritual. 
His was a holistic understanding, 
an understanding that went beyond words, 
into the unchartered terrain of true love."-
--Pritish Nandy, journalist and TV personality

The book which influenced and me the most .. Most influencing book : ’’India my love: Fragments of a Golden Past - Osho’’ 

absorb this book in your soul and body.....

’’India has renounced everything for a single search, the search for truth. Certainly their search was very different from the search that has been done in other countries. In other countries, people were thinking about truth; in India people were not thinking about truth - because how can you think about truth? Either you know it, or you don’t; thinking is impossible, philosophy is impossible... Neither logic is needed nor genius is needed; what is needed is eyes to see’’ 

’’India is the only country in the world that has valued a bhikshu even more than an emperor’’ 

Osho takes you on this journey in a way
which will assault your senses and 
rape your soul...

India is not just a geography or history. It is not only a nation, a country, a mere piece of land. It is something more: it is a metaphor, poetry, something invisible but very tangible. It is vibrating with certain energy fields that no other country can claim.

For almost ten thousand years, thousands of people have reached to the ultimate explosion of consciousness. Their vibration is still alive, their impact is in the very air; you just need a certain perceptivity, a certain capacity to receive the invisible that surrounds this strange land.

It is strange because it has renounced everything for a single search, the search for the truth.

In these pages, we are treated to a spellbinding vision of what Osho calls "the real India," the India that has given birth to enlightened mystics and master musicians, to the inspired poetry of the Upanishads and the breathtaking architecture of the Taj Mahal. We travel through the landscape of India's golden past with Alexander the Great and meet the strange people he met along the way. We are given a front-row seat in the proceedings of the legendary court of the Moghul Emperor Akbar, and an insider's view of the assemblies of Gautama the Buddha and his disciples.

In the process, we discover just what it is about India that has made it a magnet for seekers for centuries, and the importance of India's unique contribution to our human search for truth.

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!" - Albert Einstein

" If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India." - Max Mueller

Perhaps in return for conquest, arrogance and spoilation, India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of the mature mind, the quiet content of the unacquisitive soul, the calm of the understanding spirit, and a unifying, a pacifying love for all living things.
 ~~~ Will Durant ( American Historian)

"If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India!"
- Romaine Rolland (French scholar)

....if Jesus had been born in India
he would not have been crucified....OSHO
