About the author
Osho
4,304 books6,803 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

Una muy buena reflexión para vivir mejor, menos complicado diría yo, más libre y más sano.
Me gusto su visión del Amor y del Ego, la meditación como herramienta clave de nuestra sobrevivencia, particularmente es mi primer libro de OSHO y muchas cosas de su filosofía de verdad que American profundizar. Sin embargo, algunas posturas anti religion no van alineadas a la religión sea cual sea que la persona tenga que al final más que fanatismo se basa en la fe verdadera que sale del estomago, del corazón y del alma.
Al final creo que los seres humanos debemos tener la madurez y la libertad de no parcializarnos de un lado o del otro sino de escoger que es lo que más se apega a nuestro raciocinio.

Algunos puntos me han gustado bastante, principalmente la parte y los aspectos relacionados con el amor. Su visión del sexo y la meditación me han aportado una nueva perspectiva muy interesante haciéndome reflexionar mucho. El resto del libro (sobre todo la parte central) eran ideas con las que no concuerdo mucho, que me chirriaban o incluso aburrían. No se lo recomendaría a cualquier persona, creo que hace falta estar ya iniciado en el proceso de crecimiento personal para que te pueda aportar realmente.
