Core Insight:
According to Osho, modern India has produced towering figures like Ramana Maharshi and J. Krishnamurti, but no enduring lineage continues. Ramana lacked a capable successor; Krishnamurti rejects institutional succession. Earlier, Ramakrishna’s realization and Vivekananda’s organizational power never fused—one lacked teaching capacity, the other firsthand realization—so the chain broke. Thus, authentic transmission today depends on living individuals, not a formal lineage.
