Punaiset?

Bhagawanin/Oshon seuraajat jokseenkin vastaavat noita kuvauksiasi. Unio Mystica jotenkin jatkaa sitä heidän työtään Suomessa, olisiko siellä enemmän tietoa? Auttaisiko googlaus? Tai ehkä joku täällä tuntee heitä paremmin... Itse olen tavannut heitä viimeksi 80-luvun puolivälissä, vierailivat toisinaan Krishna-temppelissä Viiskulmassa. Muutaman sanan taisin vaihtaa heidän kanssaan, mutta en voi sanoa tuntevani heidän ajatusmaailmaansa tarkemmin.

Netistä öytyy tietoa esimerkiksi näin "rajneeshlaisista". Mutta tarkoitatko siis heitä?

Punaista näkyisi, siis ainakin tässä kohtaa:

" Prior to 1985, the disciples wore red robes, and a necklace of 108 beads which had an attached picture of Rajneesh. "

Itse uskomuksista ja harjoituksista kertoo sivustolta otettu katkelma näin:

"Beliefs and Practices
Osho developed new forms of active meditation. The best known is Dynamic Meditation which often starts with strenuous physical activity followed by silence and celebration. These were expected to lead the individual to overcome repression, lower their personal inhibitions, develop a "state of emptiness", and attain enlightenment. The person then would have "no past, no future, no attachment, no mind, no ego, no self." Prior to 1985, the disciples wore red robes, and a necklace of 108 beads which had an attached picture of Rajneesh. Osho assigned a new name to each of the disciples. Men were given the title "Swami"; women were called "Ma". Although most members lived a frugal, simple lifestyle, Rajneesh himself lived in luxury. His collection 27 Rolls Royces, given to him by his followers, was well known. (Some sources say he had as many as 100 cars). Anti-cult groups claimed that he urged his disciples to sever their connection to their families of origin. It is true that he felt that the institution of the family was out of date and that it should be replaced with alternate forms of community and ways of caring for children. However, he actually encouraged individual disciples to make peace with their families. Many became disciples themselves, including Osho's own parents.

He taught a form of Monism, that God was in everything and everyone. There is no division between "God" and "not-God". People, even at their worse, are divine. He recognized Jesus Christ as having attained enlightenment, and believed that he survived his crucifixion and moved to India where he died at the age of 112. Osho was noted for reading very offensive jokes; some were anti-Semitic; others were anti-Roman Catholicism; others insulted just about every ethnic and religious group in the world. He explained that the purpose of these jokes was to shock people and to encourage them to examine their identification with and attachment to their ethnic or religious beliefs. His contention was that national, religious, gender and racial divisions are destructive. "

Tämä juuri oli kyseessä. Siis "osholaiset". Olisi mielenkiintoista tietää, vieläkö liike on voimissaan. Jokunen tuttu pyöri mukana noissa kuvioissa, mutta enpä ole törmännyt heihin enää 20 vuoteen... Missä lievät maailmalla.

Jos joku heistä lukasee tämän niin vastailkoot.
