Osho The First Buddha in the Dental Chair: Amusing Anecdotes By His Personal Dentist

by Devageet

“This book provides insider stories of Osho, written firsthand by his personal dentist, living in his house in Poona, India and Rajneeshpuram, USA. It is a unique document; funny, profound, giving an exquisite authentic glimpse of an enlightened Master working on his disciples.”“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 these notes that you take from your dental chair will become a beautiful book. It will not be like my other books.” ~OshoOriginally trained in dental surgery in Edinburgh, Devageet was a family man practicing his profession, dentistry, in England and Australia until his mid-thirties. His search for inner truth and meaning grew, taking him in many directions. He explored Art, the psychologies of Freud, Jung, Adler and others, the philosophies of the East and the West, along with Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen, Sikhism, Sufism, Taoism, fasting and running. Using these methods he became informed but not transformed.Meeting Osho in April 1976 Devageet immediately knew that he had found his spiritual master. He was given a new name, and a new life.For over 12 years, until Osho left his physical body, in January 1990, Devageet was privileged to be Osho’s personal dental surgeon, during which time the master in the dental chair operated on his dentist. He also asked Devageet to write two Osho, The First Buddha in the Dental Amusing Anecdotes By His Personal Dentist; and, A Subjective Account of My Life With Osho.

I enjoyed these stories about Osho in the dental chair. I’ve read from The Three Dangerous Magi that Osho was addicted to laughing gas or had a problem with excessive use of this drug. This apparently came from his dentist. This book is written by his dentist and provides better insight. He doesn’t mention the effects or a geeking out Osho.
Some of the stories are very nice. Always unusual. But that is Osho.
The book doesn’t really ‘defend’ against the American political attack or the internal Sheela attack which both destroyed the commune and time in America.

A very emotional and touchy book about Osho's last days in his commune at USA and India. Definitely an interesting read for all the die-hard fans wanting to know the human side of Osho .

A fantastic example of an outsider perspective on Osho.

For the most part, it was a page-turner.

Osho just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

I love it.

The most attractive part of the book was the sections, in which Osho gave his discourse from his dental chair. Also this book made me to read "The glimpses of golden Childhood" and "Books I have loved" once again.
