According to Osho, the raised-hand gesture some mistake for a Hitler salute is a benediction—an open-palmed outpouring of love and energy, a greeting without hierarchy. He critiques conventional namaskar and saintly “blessing” as status games; his gesture playfully subverts such conditioning and exposes media projections, urging people to see the intention and presence behind any external form.
It’s not a Nazi salute—Osho is sending love and blessings, not showing power.
