Is the meditation taught by Osho based on Patanjali’s Raja Yoga, and how does it differ from it?

According to Osho, his meditation is not derived from Patanjali’s Raja Yoga or any scripture; it springs from his own direct, non-egoic experience. While it leads to the same timeless realization reached by Patanjali or Buddha, it must be rediscovered anew by each seeker. Therefore his method rejects scriptural authority and conceptual preloading, warning that thought-based approaches seed projections that distort authentic meditative experience.
