Sarlo′s page on Osho′s books.
Osho International Foundation has completed The Osho Library, a searchabledatabase with 'over 225 books of wisdom and humor at your fingertips' (more than 3000 English Osho Talks).User-Guide to the online library (pdf-file).
Osho read an enormous amount of books during his life time, all collected into a library in his Ashram in Poona. It′s one of thelargest private libraries in the world.
A Danish professor, Pierre Evald aka swami Anand Neeten, proficient in library organisation, travelled to Poona several times - in 1989, 1999 and 2001 - in order to study Osho′s library.
Here′s his report in pdf-format (28 pages).
On hiswebsite there′s more interesting stuff.More recently Neeten compiled an Osho Source Book, a bio-bibliography in three parts:
- Volume I (1931-1974) Gadarwara. Jabalpur. Bombay
- Volume II (1974-1990) Poona One. Oregon. World Tour. Poona Two
- Volume III (1931-1990) References. Bibliography. Sources
Neeten punctures the ′Osho-never-wrote-myth′ in this short contribution of his. Osho′s manuscripts are now at www.sannyas.wiki.
Osho painted in the inside covers of books uniquely beautiful artwork, which has beenreproduced using the silkscreen method. Tv tuner software for mac.
The Osho Times of May 1, 1991:
Ma Kavisho, Osho′s librarian, has catalogued 900 books in which Osho painted the endpapers and 3500 in which he coloured his signature. Osho′s paintings show anuninhibited playing with vivid colours of transparent ink. His ink pens often leaked through one or more pages of the books, creating an entirely new painting on thesubsequent pages: a wonderful collision of colours with words. What a delight to discover in Osho not only the rebel, poet and intellect-par-excellence - but the contemporaryartist as well!'And if a rose need not have a purpose, why should my paintings have a purpose? They are existential. There is no need for any purpose.'
(Osho quoted from I Celebrate Myself)Osho talks about his library and books:

The Book Of Secrets
The Books of Secrets, also called Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, is a Tantric text. Tantra means: tools for transformation. Tantra is composed of two roots: ′tan′and ′tra′. ′Tan′ is related to the English word ′tangible′ and ′Tra′ is related to theEnglish word ′trowel′. You can see that embedded in the word Tantra is atangible tool. This is to say, that in the book there are meditation techniquesabout transformation while in the multi-dimensional reality that includes thephysical arena. Tantra is very practical and with a Tantra practice, you developa personal toolkit to connect you with the flow of all of life and deepen yourrelationship with life and with the Divine.The Book of Secrets is a series of talks withcommentaries on the 112 meditation techniques given by Shiva to his consort Devi,alternated with question and answer sessions. There is atechnique here, Osho says, for every type of man and woman in the world, fromthe past, present or future.
A Few Techniques:
Website where all techniques are describedOsho comments on the 112 techniques:Yoga The Alpha and the Omega
Another famous series of 10 books is Osho′s Yoga The Alpha and the Omega, based on Patanjali′s sutras.
Osho says:
We live in a deep illusion -the illusion of hope, of future, of tomorrow. As man is, man cannotexist without self-deceptions. Nietzsche says somewhere that mancannot live with the true: he needs dreams, he needs illusions, heneeds lies to exist. And Nietzsche is true. As man is he cannotexist with the truth. This has to be understood very deeply becausewithout understanding it, there can be no entry into the inquirywhich is called yoga.The mind has to be understooddeeply - the mind, which needs lies, the mind which needs illusions,the mind which cannot exist with the real, the mind which needsdreams. You are not dreaming only in the night. Even while awake,you are dreaming continuously.

Ecstasy - The Forgotten Language
Osho speaks on the exuberant poems of Kabir as translated by India′sNobel Prize-winning poet, Rabindranath Tagore.He also responds toquestions as diverse as the difference between relationship andaloneness, mind and society, self and enlightenment, and explains thedifference between a crystallized self and a strong ego.Excerpt
Ancient Music in the Pines
If you are missing,you are missing only on your own account. There is no wall between you and the music; even if there is felt tobe a wall it is only of your own thoughts. And even then the music goes on penetrating you. You may not listento it but it goes on massaging your whole being, it goes onnourishing you, it goes on giving you life, it goes on rejuvenatingyou. Your heart throbs in the same rhythm as the heart of the whole.Excerpt
The Divine Melody
Inthis series of ten discourses Osho discusses some of the mostbeautiful songs of Kabir. In one particularly fascinating discourseOsho speaks on the seven chakras, the seven stages through which eachindividual must pass, and a categorization according to which chakrawe function from. Another discourse examines love as 'the only miraclethere is,' and relationships. In addition, Osho answers questions onsubjects as diverse as homosexuality, prayer, being oneself, thedistinction between ego and individuality, trust, the male and femalewithin each individual, and humanity′s addiction to misery.Excerpt 1
Four steps to the Divine Melody
Philosophia Perennis
Oshodescribes Pythagoras as 'aseeker of truth par excellence,' who lived in Alexandria and was initiatedinto the mystery schools of Egypt. He then traveled to India, Tibetand China - at that time the whole known world - until he becameself-realized. He found the 'Perennial Philosophy' but was persecutedby his own society. The fragments of his teachings werecollected after his death and written down by a disciple in The GoldenVerses of Pythagoras. In his commentary, Osho expounds on the idea ofthe East and West as representatives of the brain′s two hemispheres,and on the two Pythagorean laws - of necessity and power.Excerpt
The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha
Osho calls the incomparable Dhammapada sutras ofBuddha, 'The Book of Books.' He explains that these sutras areconcerned with every aspect of man′s unawareness, and that Buddha′swhole message is devoted to the raising of our consciousness.
Toenter into the Dhammapada with Osho is to witness a deep friendshipof enlightened masters. These sutras were compiled by Buddha′sdisciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was thelast turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. Osho′scommentaries on these sutras (in 12 volumes) set the Wheel of Dharma in motionagain. Osho also answers questions from disciples and other seekersin alternate discourses all generously sprinkled with stories,personal anecdotes and, of course, a multitude of jokes. Visuallythis boxed set is stunning, without doubt a collector′s set, andtwelve volumes to dive into for years to come.Excerpt
The White Lotus
Bodhidharma, a disciple of Buddha, was the first patriarch ofZen. The notes collected by his disciples from Bodhidharma′sdiscourses, contain the essential core of Buddha′s message.Buddha and Bodhidharma are vastly different in their expressionof truth. Osho sees Buddha as the silence of a breeze,Bodhidharma he likens to a storm. This discourse seriesalternates the eminently readable interchanges betweenBodhidharma and his disciples, and Osho′s response to questionsfrom his own disciples and other seekers. In the words of onejournalist: 'Just by reading these discourses there is a riskyou may be pulverized by their inspiration.'Excerpt
Volume 1 | Volume 2 |
Volume 3 | Volume 4 |
| Osho makes a clear distinction between Jesus the rebeland Christianity that followed after him. Through thegospels of Matthew, Luke and John he reintroduces Jesus as man,mystic and uncompromising master filled with love, fire andcompassion. As Osho comments on thesayings of Jesus, suddenly what Jesus was trying to impart becomesluminously clear, startlingly relevant. In Osho′s understanding Jesus has been killed twice - once by the Jews and againby Christians who have smothered his insights with interpretations that havelittle to do with his teachings. Osho resurrects Jesus, seeing in his words atruth that the reader intuitively feels to be closer to Jesus′ heart than thatof any priest. |
Beyond Psychology
Oshotalks in depth on a variety of esoteric subjects. He describes many techniques of self-discovery, pointing out thatpsychological answers to man′s self-made miseries will no longer work.These discourses, are rare jewels of wisdom.Excerpt

From Sex to Superconsciousness
With complete frankness Osho discusses the three stages of sex - physical, psychological and spiritual - and provides guidance on how this raw energy can betransformed into the realization of ultimate consciousness.He explains that when we repress our basic nature, sex takes roots in the unconscious, creating an unnatural obsession. It is this psychic statethat has produced much mental sickness and the widespread perversity of society today.‟Sex is man′s most vibrant energy,″ Osho says, ‟but it should not be an end unto itself: sex should lead man to his soul.″It′s a translation of the 1968 Hindi book: ′Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Aor′, and added to Osho′s notorious reputation in India.Read the book online
The Book of Wisdom
Discourses on Atisha′s Seven Points of Mind TrainingAtisha is one of the rare masters, rare in the sense that he was taught by three enlightened masters. It has never happened before, and neversince. To be a disciple of three enlightened masters is simply unbelievable - because one enlightened master is enough. But this story, that he was taught by three enlightenedmasters, has a metaphorical significance also. And it is true, it is historical too.The three masters that Atisha remained with for many years were:
- first, Dharmakirti, agreat Buddhist mystic. He taught him no-mind, he taught him emptiness, he taught him howto be thoughtless, he taught him how to drop all content from the mind and be contentless.
- The second master was Dharmarakshita, another Buddhist mystic. He taught him love,compassion.
- And the third master was Yogin Maitreya, another Buddhist mystic. He taughthim the art of taking the suffering of others and absorbing it into your own heart: love inaction.
This could happen because all these three masters were great friends. They had startedtheir search together; while they were on the way they had remained together, and whenthey attained they were still together.
Atisha became a disciple of Dharmakirti. Dharmakirti said to him, 'I will teach you thefirst principle. And for the second you go to Dharmarakshita, and for the third to YoginMaitreya. This way you will know all the three faces of the ultimate reality, the three faces ofGod - the trinity, the Trimurti. And this way you will learn each face from the person whois the most perfect in it.'
These are the three ways people reach to the ultimate.

The Bird Has Flown
Ma Yoga Laxmi, Osho′s exuberant secretary who ran the Poona Ashram in the seventies, left her body on January 6, 1995after a long battle with cancer.Laxmi had been living in Bombay since leaving the commune in the mid-eighties. She told her friend Ma Jyotithat she was tremendously grateful to Osho, particularly for his last message to her. She said, 'I understood that itwas time for me to stop putting energy into outer things and to go in.He knows better than the rest of us what we need. Now the bells have started ringing and the bird has flown his cage anytimeand Laxmi is ready for that.' (note: Laxmi often referred to herself in the third person.)
Her last day began with listening to an Osho discourse. Shortly afterwards she simply slipped away, her hand on her heart,whispering, 'Osho is here..' She said that nobody should mourn her, but celebrate her death.Bombay sannyasins celebrated her death with a beautiful kirtan on her birthday, February 12.

Allah to Zen
By Ma Chetan Unmani and Swami Chaitanya Keerti
A book of first hand accounts of people who met Osho : Allah to Zen - AnInsight into the World of Osho:The Real Man of the Millennium.The Silent Whisperings of the Heart
By Swami Dhyan Giten
Life is like playing hide the key with God. God has hidden the key and nowit is up to us to find the key again. It also takes us a while to realize thatthe key is hidden in our own heart. The heart is the door to allow life to guideus. The heart is the door to say 'yes' to life. The heart is the door tosurrender to life.
Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person, love is a qualitythat arises when we are in contact with our inner being, our authentic self, themeditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptinessis experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love.
Real love is to realize that we are one with life. Real love means to understandthat we are one with the other person, with nature, with the trees, the stonesand with the blue sky. It is to realize that all of life is God.
Presence - Working From Within
By Swami Dhyan Giten
The most important therapeutic capacity is the ability to be present with an open heart and to be grounded in our inner being, in our essence and authentic self, in themeditative quality within, through which we can meet another person. It is to meet that which is already perfect within a person.

My Dance with a Madman
By Swami Anand Subhuti
The author comments: 'The tales in this book are snapshots of an unnecessary journey, undertaken by a man who did not need to go anywhere. He went in order to helppeople who did not want to be helped, to give them something they already had. He irritated them so badly that 99 percent of them wanted him silenced. But the remaining onepercent loved him, bowed down to him and thanked him for coming. I am one of those. This is my story. This is my dance with a madman. I hope you enjoy it.'

The G.U.R.U. Book
By Krishna Prem
G.U.R.U. means ′Gee yoU aRe yoU′
Krishna Prem writes:
'It′s no coincidence that G.U.R.U. has two U′s in it! One U represents thelittle u. That′s the u that gets up in the morning, brushes its teeth, getsdressed, goes out and struts its stuff! It′s your little local life, you cancall it your your self, your I or your me. Then there′s the other U, whichis your big U. That′s the U who exists beyond your body, your mind and theentire world itself. It′s the ultimate U, call it God, Source, Existence,call it what you like!
And that′s my job here in this book, to help your little u get in touch withyour big U, so you know who U are in total, and that there′s no separationbetween the two!'
Tantric Pulsation
By Deva Aneesha
This book celebrates Aneesha′s thirty years of experience, working with neo-Reichianmethods of energy release, combined with meditation. It contains boththeoretical and descriptive information about her work with people, which shecalls Pulsation, and also traces the development of a new branch of her work,Tantric Pulsation. Aneesha′s book, 'Tantric Pulsation,' is rooted in the insightsof two of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century,Wilhelm Reichand Osho.
Reich was a disciple of Sigmund Freud, the founder of modernpsychology. Reich agreed with Freud that sexual repression lies at the root ofpsychological neurosis, and went on to state that even ordinary, normal humanbeings are incapable enjoying their lives because of widespread sexual andemotional repression practiced by all civilized societies. Reich found that thephysical body stores these repressed energies as tension in the muscles, whichhe called 'muscular armoring.' He developed a system which uses breathing andbody movement to release this tension, including strong emotional expression.This, in turn, allowes energy to flow freely and naturally throughout the wholebody, inducing a physical state of tremendous aliveness, together with feelingsof relaxation and well-being.
Osho, an Indian mystic considered by manya modern Tantra master, also works with life energy through his extraordinaryand transforming 'active meditations'. His Tantra vision, wholly life affirmative,is rooted in acceptance, let-go, meditation, and celebration of life. This is avision which embraces all human experience, from sex to superconsciousness.Aneesha′s methods have grown from these two streams of understanding, onewestern, one eastern. The result is a unique process of self experience andtransformation, both delightful and profound.
Listen Little Man
By Wilhelm Reich
Kakao emoji. This is Wilhelm Reich′s honest, disturbing, pungent book to kick each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man, aconscience. It was written in the summer of 1946 for the Archives of the Orgone Institute. At the time there was nointention of publishing it.It tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, what the Little Man does tohimself; how he suffers, rebels, honours his enemies and murders his friends.
This appeal to the little man was a silent response to gossip and slander. When it was written, no one could foresee that agovernment agency charged with the safeguard of public health (the FDA), in league with politicians and psychoanalyticalcareerists, would unleash an attack on orgone research.
The decision to publish this appeal as a historical document was made in 1947, when the emotional plague conspired to killorgone research (not to prove it unsound but to kill it by defamation)..
He belongs to us. I give him posthumous sannyas.
(Osho - Sermons in Stones #7)Little man, you′ve built your house, your life, your culture, your civilisation, your science and technology,your love and your methods of child-rearing, on sand.
You don′t know this, you don′t want to know it, and when a great man tells you, you kill him.

Blessed and Not Knowing
By Swami Deva Rashid aka Rashid Maxwell
Blessed:
The poems anddrawings in this collection have been selected from more than 25 years of work. They arise from the common round of daily life:gardening, watching the outer sky with a painter′s eye and the inner with a meditator′s awareness. There is a fine wit to manyof the poems, giving them a snap, a surprise, a riddle, just like the ending of a haiku. This book expresses one person′s love for aworld at once funny, crazy and wonderfully mysterious.Not Knowing:
A second collection of poems and drawings with simple everyday observations and expressions, describe the author′s insights on thequest for spiritual truth: the pain and the joy, the mundane and the elevated. He sees through the web of samsara and at the same timegracefully accepts the bee sting in the field..Osho, the Luminous Rebel
By Vasant Joshi PhD
The book traces the story of Osho from his birth, talking about his spiritual search for truth and the story of hisenlightenment.
It also takes the reader through those years of Osho′s struggle with authority figures, his travels all over India, andto the much-hyped city of Rajneeshpuram in the US.
Osho believes that he was poisoned by the US government when he was detained in various jails there; he was later denied visas in almost allcountries across the world - events, he reveals, that exposed the true face of 'Democracy.'
Moments of Lucidity

Osho, India and Me
By Krishna Prem (Jack Allanach)
'The first time I see him he is reading Zorba the Greek. He sits in an orange armchair in the far corner of the room, legscrossed, the novel resting lightly on one knee. Apart from the single chair, a shelf of books, and a wide bed that lies close tothe floor like a futon, the room is empty..
It is early November 1973. Osho lives in a single room in a three-bedroom flat in Woodlands, a luxury-apartment complex in theaffluent Malabar Hill section of Bombay.'
So starts ′Osho, India and Me′.
Thirty years ago Osho asked Krishna Prem to write ′a little book′. He wrote what was to become a unique account of amaster-disciple relationship and life around an Enlightened Master.From early days in Bombay, Dynamic Meditation on Chowpatty Beach at 5 am, a journey to the middle of India for a quasi survivorexperiment; a full moon acid party in Goa; meetings with Indira Gandhi and Morarji Desai to meditations on the secret of sex anddarshans with the Master - the ′little book′ evolved.

A Surprise Life
By Ma Prem Sambodhi aka Susan M. Clare
The author writes:
This memoir recounts my experiences during the 10+ years I was a disciple of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (now known as Osho). The first halffocuses on my participation at his ashram in India as well as the background and early influences that led to my becoming a disciple. Thesecond half describes my involvement at our communal ranch in Central Oregon. My initial purpose in writing had nothing to do withpublishing. I wanted to explore its potential for examining what destroyed our community from a viewpoint outside myself, on paper. Ineeded to understand what led to our collapse, and what part (if any) I may have played. As I progressed, however, I realized that othersmight welcome seeing how this destructive path came about, and perhaps notice a resemblance, as I did, between the behaviors that led toour downfall and similar behaviors in the larger world that might be recognized if we chose to pay closer attention.

By Anando aka Anando Heffly
There are many books withgood advice: ′Just say YES to whatever life brings, just accept yourself and others as they are, and you will have no problems′.It makes sense and sounds easy, but anyone who has tried it knows just how difficult it is to do in practice.
And often the only YES we know is a compromise - we deny our own needs and juice for life in order to please others - and that leaves usfeeling miserable and unsatisfied.
This book explains the hidden dynamics in your unconscious which get in the way of change. Understanding that gives you choices, for thefirst time.
The book gives real, practical techniques for everyday situations where problems arise: relationships, family, work, changing circumstancesand yourself - your emotions, habits and personality patterns and your attitude towards your body.
In essence, it is about changing yourself from the inside, and then seeing the remarkable results that has on your life on the outside.
It has been designed by Sambodhi Prem of Global Suitcase Design Studio.

Many friends of Osho′s will remember The Sound of Running Water, the beautiful, big photo biography that was produced in Poona Onetimes. Many gorgeous photos of Osho, his people, and his ashram, plus numerous quotes tell the story of Osho′s life and work between1974 and 1978.
The book was printed in a limited edition and went out of print more than 20 years ago when Avirbhava bought the last (signed) copy for$14,000 in Poona Two. Over the years, many sannyasins would sadly remember the time when they snapped up a copy for $100 in Rajneeshpuram -and gave it away. Sometimes a copy would appear on ebay or Amazon, offered for several thousand dollars.
Now Swami Jagdish in Pune has reprinted the book, with the same photos and text, in almost the exact same format, and we have just receiveda small shipment. Read more..

By Ma Anand Nirgun aka Rosemary Hamilton
An intriguing journey into Nirgun′s experiences in Poona and Rajneeshpuram. This text is the author′s account of her life as a disciple of the notorious Indianspiritual Master Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh also known as Osho. It traces her spiritual odyssey, as she abandons in 1974 her successful career of co-director of the UnitedCommunities Service in Vancouver, Canada, to embark for Poona in search of enlightenment.
Nirgun concludes her book at age 74, writing, 'Scientists tell us that nothing in existence can ever go out of existence. Spiritual folk call it ′life eternal′.For me it′s an inner certainty. Death can take the fading body, the static personality, the prickly ego - take them, and welcome. But it can′t touch the infiniteintelligence that throbs in every atom of our being.'

On the Enneagram of Personality..
Confused, almost unrecognizable dilutions of Gurdjieff′s teaching have been concocted by various 'self-help' groups, purveyors of seminars, certainmodern heavily franchised 'religions,' and even cults. Oddball interpretations of his nine-pointed enneagram find their way into books on 'personalityanalysis.'

'You, Devageet, will be my note-taker. I will speak from the dental chair. No Buddha has ever done such a thing.. but you know me; I am a little crazy. One day thesenotes that you take from your dental chair will become a beautiful book. It will not be like my other books..'

Discussion between Sarito and Keerti
(Two sannyasins who were in charge of Osho′s books)
Sarito wrote to Keerti:
'Osho himself at different times has asked for compilations to be made from his talks, including from the darshan diaries, from World Tour discourses,press interviews, etc. In 'Poona Two,' with Osho′s full support and guidance, a number of compilations were created by sannyasins on specific topics.After they were published, it was felt that these compilations were interfering with sales of the complete discourse books in the Commune′s bookshop.Osho′s suggestion then was that these types of books should be offered to outside publishers, as a ′bridge′ to new people.'Keerti answered:
'Beloved Sarito, you say that Osho himself at different times has asked for compilation to be made from his talks.I know that he did allow that for some time, after some of us suggested to him about thecompilations, and then we got the messages: ′Enough of the compilations. Do the complete books now. These compilations can be given tooutside publishers.′The truth is that there were any number of compilations published in the eighties. This applied even more to the foreign-languagetranslations published in the 70s and 80s. Many of those were compilations.'
So:
Osho made statements on several occasions, that his discourses are 'complete in themselves', that selections are likely to create a wrong impression,and that things said in a complete context may be misleading in isolation.The messages to and fro between Sarito and Keerti show that Osho was not in favour of compilations published by sannyasins themselves.
Compilations issued by mainstream publishers subjected a general public to what Gurdjieff calls 'B-influences'. People who managed to absorb theseinfluences are then ready for 'C-influences', the real stuff.
Notes:
- Osho copyrights paradoxes With Dhanyam′s comments.
- Gurdjieff talks about an esoteric center, that is connected with a conscious inner circle of humanity, and three kinds of influences:
- A-influences created in life, that is, in life itself - they are the first kind, and often the only kind, of influences people are subjected to; A-influences do not come from an esoteric center.The issues published in newspapers, for example, mainly consist of A-influences.
- B-influences created outside life as C-influences, but diminished in consciousness by being thrown into the general vortex of life; the second kind of influences.Myths and fairy tales can be said to be B-influences pointing to a higher level of consciousness.
- C-influences of a man on another man; the former man actually is connected with an esoteric center, directly or by succession; this is the third kind of influences. This influence is conscious,and under its action on the latter man′s ′magnetic center′, he becomes free from the ′law of accident′ and lives in agreement with the ′law of fate′.Osho′s video lectures and unabridged books can be said to be C-influences.
- One can read about the ′law of accident′ and the ′law of fate′here
- In order not to have to work with mainstream publishers who prefer a watered-down Osho in compilations, some sannyasins publish Osho′s books themselves.There′s the example of Rebel Publishing house; and the story of Ghata and Sant whofounded their own company in France (which though very successful, doesn′t exist anymore.)Ghata and Sant did so, because they found mainstream publishers to be too slow and too choosy, and Osho wanted all of his books published not only those who are acommercial success.
