definition
"Institutions like the Academy are meant to serve the community by preserving the purity of the teachings, ensuring they remain free from distortion and commercial influence."
According to Osho, institutions like the Academy exist to serve, not govern, the community: they safeguard the integrity of his message through accurate translations and in-house publication when needed; maintain global contact and coordination among sannyasins; function as communication headquarters, sharing whereabouts and needs; and ensure the teachings are presented without distortion, free from sectarian or commercial control.
They’re like helpful librarians and translators for Osho’s work—keeping it accurate, connected, and easy to find—without bossing anyone around.
