Osho and Sex

Osho is dead and gone and almost twenty years have elapsed. Oslo was the name adopted by Acharaya Rajneesh a Jubbulpore born self styled God. He did construct up a tremendous following which has outlasted his death.

Osho has been connected as a 'love guru' by western opponents of his teachings. But is it so simplistic an argument? Osho came from India and like the a lot of saints just before him propounded a theory of meditation that could lead to inner bliss. For is that not what we all seek?

A reading of the prodigious operates of the Acharya brings out the reality that sex per se was a element of his philosophy only to the extant that it helped accomplished inner peace of thoughts. Let us accept that sex is the one ingredient in a human beings life that is the uppermost in his thoughts. Oslo recognized this and integrated it with his mediation theories. Numerous western physicians can vouch secure for the good results of his mediation tactics.

Did Rajneesh genuinely propagate one thing new? The answer to this lies in the Hindu scriptures that have recognized the omnipresence of 'shakthi' by means of the sex act. So what Osho truly propagated is nothing at all new. He even so have to get credit for realizing this and amplifying it additional. The critical factor was his removal of guilt from a man and lady indulging in a union outdoors marriage. For him marriage was only a indicates to an end and not the end itself.

Rajneesh preached liberation of the thoughts and physique from the narrow bounds of society. In the west Christian thought brings an part of guilt if sex is indulged in outdoors marriage. Rajneesh did not see it that way and preached an strategy that is closer to the Hindu tantra. That is the explanation significantly numerous westerners flocked to his ashram as they have been burdened with a guilt complicated. Rajneesh was the outlet for them; a step towards bliss. For after the guilt complicated goes out of your thoughts than life is a great deal improved.

The act of sex also was provided a distinctive connotation by Rajneesh. He accepted the theory of Tantra but with a distinction. He advocated sex without the need of orgasm. As per him when an orgasm requires spot the additional improvement of the thoughts is stopped. Rajneesh advocated a sex act that could be prolonged without having orgasm. Exactly where the man conserves his power for repeated pleasure of his female companion and himself.

Rajneesh preached absolutely nothing new. He only restated what the Hindu scriptures have mentioned all along. But to dub him as sex guru is a misnomer.He was a brilliant theorist who questioned set values. For this we should give him credit. The ashram at Pune founded by Rajneesh is nevertheless there and one can stop by it in case one has the urge.
