According to Osho, mentioning Swami Yoga Chinmaya’s name is an economical cue that instantly creates shared laughter and happiness; it’s a tacit understanding, like a numbered joke, because his intense, logical seeking turns into delightfully ridiculous questions. The name relaxes the audience, signals something beautiful is coming, and reminds us that life is an exclamation, not a question to be overthought.
He says the name because everyone knows a light, funny question is coming, so people relax and smile.
