Why are Indians not allowed to participate in the therapy groups?

Why are not the indians allowed to participate in the therapy groups? Second: are you brainwashing the innocent westerners in the therapy groups?

First he wants to know why Indians are not allowed in the therapy groups. Will they understand therapy? Will they understand bringing all their repressed sexuality out? Will they be able to realize and recognize their ugliness? Will they be able to see in the mirror of therapy their original face? I am perfectly ready to allow them. Pundit Lajjashankara Jha can be allowed, but will he be ready to put his scholarship -- he is a pundit, a brahmin -- will he be able to put his past aside and go into a therapy group? Will he be ready to be really spiritually naked, truthful, honest? -- because a therapy group can function only if you are authentic, if you say only that which you feel. But something else will happen: he will not say what he feels, he will say what is expected of him to say. Just…

Osho! Why are Indians not being included in group therapy, in collective psychotherapy? Is it only the West that needs group therapy and not the East? But that doesn’t seem to be the case. In fact, ninety percent of Indians are found to be sexually neurotic. In this context, please kindly clarify how it is justified to deprive Indians of this particular method, and why? Asked by Dr. Tapan Kumar Chaudhary. He is a doctor, so certainly he knows what the real mental condition of Indians is. All right—it's not just ninety percent; ninety-nine percent of Indians suffer from sex-repression. And I kn

I have broken no law. Everyone has the right to be naked in a room—otherwise all husbands and wives will have to be put in jail. I have broken no law. I am moving with full awareness on this count. There is no legal charge against me, nor against my ashram. We have taken care that in a legal way they cannot catch us. Otherwise, do you think they would spare me? If they can file twenty-two cases against Sanjay Gandhi, they would file two hundred and twenty against me. But even all the 420s together could not bring two hundred and twenty cases against me. There is no cause for a case. Hence there is a sense of impotence: what to do—nothing is within their power; otherwise they would have erased me. Still, they keep trying as far as they can. You say: Why don’t I include Indians in…

If groups are a safer and more stimulating place to begin to expand any conceivable, personal boundaries, why have you not encouraged the creation of indian groups with indian leaders?

In my childhood I used to go with my father. He is a great burper. Whenever he went to somebody else's house he would burp loudly. So I asked him, 'Why do you do it that much? You never do it that much at home?' He said, 'It has to be done otherwise the people will think that we are not satisfied.' The burp gives a satisfactory expression. It says the stomach is full and it is perfectly satisfied and it is happy. It is a physical expression. I was reading one of Janov's books in which he gives a few certificates from his patients who have been helped by primal therapy. In one certificate one patient says, 'I am very, very thankful to you because after primal therapy I began to burp for the first time in my life.' He said that it was amazing. I also say it…

Osho, to rise above mental afflictions like lust, anger, greed and attachment, and states like ego and stupefaction, the Buddha, Mahavira, and all Indian saints have prescribed only practices such as meditation-awakening, devotional singing and chanting, and satsang. But why are you—on what basis—adding new means like therapy-groups (group psychotherapy) along with other methods for Indian friends? Kindly explain.

I have no desire for your respect or your applause. I am not here to reproduce any enlightened one. I will live in my own way. I will say what is mine to say. So drop these expectations. Don’t keep throwing names like Buddha, Mahavira, and the rishis and munis at me; you bore me with them. Let them be. If you meet them somewhere, ask them why they don’t conduct group psychotherapy! I will live in my own way. I am a category unto myself. I am not a repetition of anyone, nor do I have any taste for that. Time is changing. It changes every day. What was needed then, the Buddha would have done. What is needed today, I will do. That need did not exist then. People were simple, straightforward, rural. Understand a little. If a woodcutter who chops wood daily comes here, I will not…

Osho, why is india drifting towards lawlessness? Are indians the most lawless people?

So the very next day Willy went onto the course, found some partners and began to play. At the fourth hole, however, after a very careful swing, poor Willy missed the ball completely. Instinctively, he let out a holler, 'Oy gevalt!' he shrieked. Suddenly realizing what he had said, Willy smiled broadly and added with a flourish, 'Whatever that means!' A tale is told of a certain countess who was half French and half English. When she was in labour with her first child, her husband was beside himself with anxiety. The doctor tried to calm him down. 'She's got plenty of time to go,' he said. 'Let's play cards.' So he dealt out a hand, but then suddenly a cry came from the bedroom, 'Mon dieu! Mon dieu!' The count jumped up from his chair. 'Not yet, not yet,' soothed the doctor. 'Keep on playing.' So they did, but…
