Love Osho Podcast

In the 80s Tarangita was a young radical feminist who used to shout aggressively at sannyasins women passing by on the street of Amsterdam, accused of being slaves of a man (Osho). After becoming a sannyasin, Tarangita learnt to trust herself and healed her deep wound as a result of a traumatic and abusive childhood. Thanks to the healing power of Osho’s smile, Trangita has gone a long way from fear to trust and today keeps learning the art of living with love, kindness and playfulness.

Ageh Bharti had an experience of pure bliss which lasted for 2 months during which he felt Enlightened. He went to meet Osho in 1967 to discuss this matter and Osho told him that his state was not Enlightenment but the highest state of the mind, something very rare. Ageh Bharti was very intimate with Osho and could visit him at any time, including travelling around India during Osho’s public discourses. At 86 years of age, Ageh Bharti continues today to carry on Osho’s message, speaking at colleges around India and is particularly committed to the project "One Global Government".

In the mid 70s Moumina was a teenage radical feminist living in a feminist commune in London where not even male cats were allowed. She went to India to learn Indian dance, and ended up in Poona falling in love with Osho after a talk in which Osho provocatively attacked the women’s liberation. Moumina realised her identification with feminism (and any other beliefs), and started her path of self-discovery which led her to become one of the most experienced therapists in the world of Osho.

Sadhak was professionally very successful and enjoyed material affluence, when suddenly felt like renouncing the world. That’s when Osho entered his life and changed everything. Sadhak was so inspired that listened to Osho’s discourses for three years continuously, before creating the Ask Bhagwan App. In addition to offering Osho’s videos, audio discourses and meditations in one place (and for free), the Ask Bhagwan App brings together the sannyas community via the One World Meditation project and other amazing features. This arguably the most exciting, innovative and valuable project in the world of Osho today.

Today our guest is Ma Prem Pravira. Pravira took sannyas in 1981 and is a professional Violinist, Holistic Counsellor for Musicians & Cave Diver. Pravira played the violin live for Osho and continues her career today playing with some of the most reputable ensembles in the world.

Pravira experienced pure bliss and deep connection with the Master and the Sangha in Rajneeshupram, which are aspects completely neglected by the narrative around Osho in the USA. Pravira describes the incredible experience of playing the violin during the famous drive-by, captured in some of historical footages also showed in Wild Wild Country.

In his early career as a musician, Sudhananda did not feel comfortable with the highly competitive world of musical performance.

Sudhananda experienced the pure beauty of creativity, which changed forever his relationship with music.

Sudhananda talks about how the music for Osho was composed and how creativity was the essential element permeating every aspect of the communal living around Osho.
