According to Osho, dates endure or vanish not by the mystics but by their record-keepers. Jesus and Krishna spoke from timelessness; neither kept accounts. Western disciples, time-bound, fixed Christ’s birth; Indian seers, honoring the impersonal and eternal, intentionally erased dates and authorship, letting the message outshine biography. Thus Krishna’s chronology dissolves by design, not deficiency.
Because followers wrote the stories: in the West they stamped dates on a timeless teacher; in India they skipped dates to show the teaching and the divine, not a birthday, mattered.
