He says about himself, "I am no longer seeking, searching for anything. Existence has opened all its doors to me. I cannot even say that I belong to existence, because I am just a part of it...When a flower blossom, I blossom with it. When the sun rises, I rise with it. The ego in me, which keeps people separate, is no longer there. My body is part of nature, my being is part of the whole. I am not a separate entity."He graduated from the University of Sagar with First Class Honors in philosophy. While a student he was All-India Debating Champion and the Gold Metal winner. After a nine-year stint as professor of philosophy at the University of Jabalpur, he left to travel around the country giving talks, challenging orthodox religious leaders in public debate, upsetting traditional beliefs, and shocking the status quo.In the course of his work, Osho has spoken on virtually every aspect of the development of human consciousness. From Sigmund Freud to Chuang Tzu, from George Gurdjieff to Gautam Buddha, from Jesus Christ to Radindranath Tagore...He had distilled from each the essence of what is significant to the spiritual quest of contemporary man, based not on intellectual understanding but tested against his own existential experience.[/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://www.paramdhamcenter.com/pics/osho/osho-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/FONT]   [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]He belongs to no tradition - "I am the beginning of a totally new religious consciousness," he says. "Please don't connect me with the past - it is not even worth remembering."His talks to disciples and seekers from all over the world have been published in more than 650 books, and translated into over thirty languages. He says, "My message is not a doctrine, not a philosophy. My message is a certain alchemy, a science of transformation, so only those who are willing to die as they are and be born again into something so new that they cannot even imagine it right now...only those few corageous people will be ready to listen, because listening is going to be risky. Listening, you have taken the first step towards being reborn. So it is not a philosophy that you can just make an overcoat of and go bragging about. It is not a doctrine where you can find consolation for harassing questions...No, my message is not some verbal communication. It is far more risky. It is nothing less than death and rebirth."Osho left his body on January 19, 1990. Just a few weeks before, he was asked what would happen to his work when he was gone. He said: "My trust in existence is absolute. If there is any truth in what I am saying, it will survive...The people who remain interested in my work will be simply carriyng the torch, but not imposing anything on anyone...[/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://www.paramdhamcenter.com/pics/osho/osho-2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/FONT]   [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]  "I will remain a source of inspiration to my people. And that's   what most <a href="http://www.sannyas.net/sannyas_communications.htm" target="_blank">sannyasins</a> will feel. I want them to grow on their own - qualities like love, around which no church can be created; like awareness, which is nobody's monopoly; like celebration, rejoicing, and maintaining fresh, childlike eyes...I want people to know themselves, not to be according to someone else. And the way is in."[/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]<img src="http://www.paramdhamcenter.com/pics/osho/sannyasin-meditation.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/FONT]   [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]  In accordance with his guidance, the commune which grew up around   him still thrives in <a href="http://www.indiatravelite.com/feature/oshocom1.htm" target="_blank">Pune</a>,   India, where thousands of disciples and seekers gather throughout   the year in the <a href="http://www.osho.com/main.cfm/Area/MedResort/Language/English.htm" target="_blank">     Ashram</a> to participate in the unique <a href="http://www.osho.nl/New-Osho-NL/EnglBooks/TOP-ZEN.htm" target="_blank">meditations</a> and other personal growth and creative programs offered there as   the very popular <a href="http://www.oshoworld.com/tarot/tarot.asp" target="_blank">Osho Tarot</a>.

His methods to work with the people are absolutely correct and are similar to the Tibetan practices. Whatever kind of work the Osho’s disciples are doing, it is similar to ours.”[/FONT] [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Moreover the Lama had invited an disciple of Osho, Swami Govind Siddharth, to visit a golden statue, representing the previous incarnation of Osho. He went on talking about Him: ”He will be recognized all over the world, but only a few people will be able to understand, who Hi really is. And He is only interested to those people, who want to understand Him; He doesn’t like to waste His time. Only if He feels something special in them, He will allow them to be close to Him.”[/FONT]</blockquote>
