According to Osho, Hindu gods such as Shiva, Uma, and Indra are not historical persons or objective beings; they are potent symbols of inner, subjective realities. They have psychological existence that mirrors specific states of consciousness, appearing as visions much like mandalas. Used rightly, these archetypal forms help seekers interpret and navigate their inner world, integrating divided personality into wholeness.
They aren’t people in the sky; they’re inner pictures that help your mind understand itself and become whole.
