There are many websites about him and the organization under that name. I don't have specific URLs, but you'll find them by typing "Osho" into your browser.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2001 Report Share Posted March 13, 2001 OSHO is more humble then "Bhagavan', which means God. But it does mean the big priest, the main one in the temple or order. At least he wasn't claiming to be GOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scholars here (e.g. Elizabeth Puttick who studies women > in NRMs) have written that it is a Japanese title for a Zen Buddhist > "priest", and that it was a more modest title adopted partly for tactical In Japanese language "Osho" has different meanings. Mainly it means a great master in Zen or Pure-Land Buddhism. Or it also means any Buddhist monk. Although even most of the Japasene don't know, it also means a prostitute.

Or it also means any > Buddhist monk. This fits the description of his teachings by one of his followers. There is hardly any Hindu (what to speak of Vedic) connection but they do resemble Zen a lot. No sastra just personal experience. Yet this person called himself a sannyasi. 8) ys Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
