“LISTEN, JUST LISTEN, TO WHAT OSHO HAS TO SAY ,”

नाचना मत भूलना .... इधर से गुजरता था..... सोचा सलाम करता चलूँ

जब मैं चला जाऊंगा.....

क्रांति बीज बो तो चला... देखना तुम

जला तो दिए हैं जलाये रखना........

THE EVENTS FROM JAN.16-19
ON JANUARY 16 OSHO CAME OUT TO SIT WITH US THROUGH OUT THE EVENING MEDITATION,FOR WHAT WAS TO BE THE LAST TIME.THE FOLLOWING TIME, OSHO’S PERSONAL PHYSICIAN, AMRITO, MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE ASSEMBLY IN GAUTAMA THE BUDDHA AUDITORIAM: “ FROM TODAY, OSHO IS NOT GOING TO BE SITTING WITH US. HE WILL, HOWEVER, COME & NAMASTE US AS USUAL BUT WILL THEN LEAVE IMMEDIATELY . HE SAID TO TELL YOU THAT HE WILL BE CONTINUING TO MEDITATE WITHUS HE HAS LEFT THE HALL. “ IN ADDITION EVERYONE WAS REQUESTED TO STAY FOR THE ENTIRE MEETING. THOSE WHO CHOSE TO LEAVE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RETURN .
OSHO’S NAMASTE THAT EVENING WAS SLOW, DELIBRATE , COVERING EVERY INCH OF THE HALL.HIS BODY WAS OBVIOUSLY IN A VERY FRAGILE CONDITION , AND HE REACHED OUT TO THE WALL FOR SUPPORT AS HE LEFT THE PODIUM. AFTER HE LEFT, THE MEDITATION OF MUSIC & SILENCE HAPPENED AS USUAL, WHILE OSHO WAS TAKEN BACK TO HIS ROOM TO BE WITH US FROM THERE.
ON JANUARY 18 AMRITO CAME TO ANNOUNCE THAT OSHO’S BODY WAS IN SUCH PAIN THAT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO WALK, HE WOULD BE IN HIS ROOM MEDITATING WITH US BEGINING AT 7 O’CLOCK AS USUAL.
ON FRIDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 19, AMRITO ENTERED THE HALL JUST BEFORE 7 O’CLOCK AND TOOK THE MICROPHONE. “ I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE ,” HE SAID. AND CONTINUED IN A VOICE CRACKED WITH TEARS, “ OSHO HAS LEFT HIS BODY.”CRIES OF SHOCK CAME FROM THE ASSEMBLY, AND AMRITO QUIETED THEM, REPEATING , “LISTEN, JUST LISTEN, TO WHAT OSHO HAS TO SAY ,” HE THEN TOLD US OSHO’S LAST WORDS TO HIS PEOPLE AND SAID THAT , IN ACCORDANCE WITH OSHO’S WISHES , THE BODY WOULD BE BROUGHT TO BUDDHA HALL IN AN HOUR FOR TEN MINUTES AND THEN TAKEN TO THE BURNING GHATS . SOME WITH FRIENDS WHO WERE NOT PRESENT LEFT TO INFORM THEM TO COME. THROUGH OUT THE TIME OF WAITING , MUSIC & THE SOUND OF “ OSHO !” FILLED THE AIR . OSHO’S BODY , DRAPED WITH BLACK VELVET & FLOWERS , WAS BROUGHT INTO THE HALL TO REST ON THE PODIUM FOR TEN MINUTES . THEN THE BODY WAS CARRIED TO THE GHATS IN A LONG PROCESSION . MANY PEOPLE REMAINED AT THE GHATS SINGING, HUMMING, IN CELEBRATION & IN SILENCE, UNTIL THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING.
AS OSHO’S FUNERNAL PYRE CONTINUED TO BURN THROUGH OUT THE NEXT DAY PREPRATIONS WERE MADE IN CHAUNG TZU AUDITORIUM FOR HIS SAMADHI.THE ASSEMBLY GATTHERED IN GAUTAMA THE BUDDHA AUDITORIUM AT 6:45 PM WHERE AMRITO READ A TEXT HE HAD PREPARED ALL THE DETAILS OF OSHO’S LAST HOURS , AND HIS MESSAGES TO US . THERE WERE TEARS OFCOURSE , AND AT JUST THE PERFECT MOMENT THEIR WAS A BEAUTIFUL REMINDER THAT OSHO IS STILL WITH US.
A FEW MONTHS AGO, AT OSHO’S REQUEST, A SWISS CLOCK WITH THE SOUND OF A COCK CROWING ON THE HOUR WAS INSTALLED AT ALL THE GATES OF THE MAIN COMMUNE PROPERTIES TO REMIND US TO WAKE UP. AS AMRITO READ, “ OSHO HAS GIVEN SOME VERY SPECIFIC GUIDANCE FOR HIS WORK…” THE COCK INTERRUPTED, “ COCK-DOODLE-DOO!” AND SENT THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY INTO GALES OF LAUGHTER.
AMRITO’S READING WAS FOLLOWED BY THE REGULAR EVENING MEDITATION AND VIDEO DISCOURSE.
ON SUNDAY MORNING , JANUARY 21, OSHO’S ASHES WERE BROUGHT BACK TO THE COMMUNE AS SANNYASINS LINED THE WAY, SHOWERING ROSE PETALS & SINGING AND CELEBRATING. THE ASHES ARE NOW IN THE NEW SAMADHI IN CHUANG TZU AUDITORIUM, WITH A PLAQUE WHICH READS:
“ OSHO – NEVER BORN, NEVER DIED. ONLY VISITED THIS PLANET EARTH BETWEEN DECEMBER 11, 1931 – JANUARY 19, 1990.”
JUST AS OSHO PREDICTED, PEOPLE ARE NOW POURING IN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE EVENING MEDITATIONS ARE MORE IN- TENSE THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. THE PIN-DROP SILENCE UNSPEAKABLE… AND, YES, OSHO IS HERE.
