The Calm Between Two Storms: Osho Winter Celebration!

Friends, just a day after what could be one of the worst storms of the year for Ontario, the Osho Winter Celebration in Toronto was a huge success!! The energy in the room was certainly overflowing and the silence was penetrating. People merged and melted, went as IN as they could go, and celebrated madly.











The space was very comfortable, spacious and relaxing, thanks to Labspace Studio.

Osho Books and CDs were on sale, so friends could dive deeper into Osho after the program. The highlight of the program was definatley Osho Nataraj Meditation where everyone completely dissolved into the dance. The program ended with Osho Kundalini Meditation and a short celebration, so friends could dance their way home before the storm hit again!

A New Look for Maulshree Osho Meditation Center!

The spark that lit the wildfire continues with Osho Maulshree meditation Center undergoing recent renovations! Everyone was delighted to see the changes that were made by recommendations given by Sw. Anand Arun on his last visit to Canada.


Osho's energy keeps building every week with our ongoing meditation celebration in each one of the centers.




A very beautiful Osho discourse was played during the meditation event. It featured Osho responding to questions from the international press, and along with the interviewer, everyone melted by the end of it.

We enjoyed a fantastic Nataraj Meditation following a celebration and dinner. If you are in the Toronto area (downtown and around), this meditation center is just minutes away from the Kipling Subway stop.

Come meditate, celebrate and elevate !

Oh...Jagaran

This past week's meditation at Jagaran Osho Meditation Center certainly lit a spark of tranquility for the new, the old and everyone in between. The ambience of the environment along with a strong presence of the no-mind (Osho) is always a treat.

Ofcourse there's no shepherd and sheep game going on with Osho here, just a gratitude for his emmense contribution to the growth of human consciousness. Having more spaces available for people to dive deeper into their own beings is tremendously beneficial for the world, for its environment and its survival. Only with more conscious human beings, more loving, more joyous and more celebrative, can existence continue on. So come join us in dance, harmony and silence every week at different meditation centers!

Osho Meditation Camp Pictures

Osho Ontario is slowing becomming a reality with 3 new meditation centers inaugurated by Swami Anand Arun, more details comming soon!!

The camp was full of energy as hour by hour, a different layer was unveiled.

About 45 participants were present for the camp and more followed during White Robe on both nights.

Sw. Anand Arun shared many stories about Osho which brought tears to those who were hearng about him for the first time !

For more camp pics see here:

Meditation Brampton July 19 with Anu Ma

Anu Ma has been hosting meditations in her home since 1992 and has created a marvelous space for peace and meditation. Her aesthetic sense, followed by a calming presence, gave a taste of meditation to many people.

All the spots to the meditation at Anu Ma's have been booked for Saturday, July 19, but I will post pictures about the event after.

We will be continuing groups on a regular basis as well in the month of August.

July: Meditation Program with Sw. Anand Arun (before camp)

For more about Sw. Arun see here.

Carrying the Torch: Sw. Anand Arun

Sw. Anand Arun, has been in the Osho scene since the early 1970s, responsible for organazing meditation camps in isolated areas of India such as Bihar. Rapidly as ever, Bihar, became one of Osho's largest sannyas centers in India. At the same time, Sw. Arun, a native of Nepal, started a meditation center in Kathmandu., Tahachal.

Osho Asheesh Meditation Center, was the first of its kind in Nepal and no one could have ever guessed, a regular two-storey house, could pave the path for over 50 000 people doing Osho Meditations in Nepal.

Critics of Sw. Anand Arun have never doubted the fact he is a tremendous inspirer for many people, and like him or not, he makes things happen. His love for Osho and meditation is quite evident nonetheless, no matter how many critics will criticize the way he spreads the fragrance of Osho.

Osho Tapoban, is a lush green meditation center surrounded by the beautiful Nagarjun Hills. These hills were at one time the sacred place for one of Buddha's disciples, Nagarjuna, who is said to have become enlightened on the exact grounds as Tapoban. How such an exquisite site was discovered to build an Osho Meditation Center is a mystery to be solved. A little piece of it however, does involve Sw. Anand Arun's persistence.

Recently I have been to Osho Tapoban, just outside of Kathmandu, 2 years back. It was my first glimpse of an Osho Meditation Center.

It was an absolute delight during both of my meditation camps in Tapoban, and gratitude towards Osho and his vision were incomprehensible. I also respect Sw. Anand Arun's committment to make this place flourish and become Nepal's utmost revered spiritual sites.

Although, as a unique individual, as Osho wanted all sannyasins to be, I cannot absolutely agree with Sw. Anand Arun in all that he does. In fact, Sw. Anand Arun advised those listening to him not to just follow whatever he says as absolute, which is commendable on his part. However, I certainly respect his perseverance. His simplicity in matters such as advising those to run meditation centers and keeping an economically sufficient space for meditation is fabulous. And never in my eyes has he claimed his enlightenment, something most so called gurus can't resist. His opinions about other meditation centers such as the Osho Meditation Resort in Pune, I don't agree with.

Nevertheless, having met him in Nepal 2 years back, he is quite an inspiring man. Running one of Nepal's top engineering firms as well as spreading meditation, can only be described as Osho's New Man: Zorba the Buddha.

Please join us for all of our meditation activities these comming weeks and meet this remarkable man!

Beautiful Celebration and New Beginning to Osho Ontario

As Osho Ontario takes another move into the unknown, it was celebrated ecstatically by Osho Lovers in the Unity Church of Mississauga, the last event at the location. It was a beautiful moment for all the people in the room.

Osho's presence and flow, lightened and was felt by all the hearts in the room. Some described the event as something they remember in Pune at the Osho International Meditation Resort.

As Osho Ontario moves ahead to expand and find a growth center closer to more and more people, risks are inevitable. To understand Osho, in every step there's uncertainty, hence, every step is joyous. This was re-emphasised during Osho's discourse from "Ancient Music of the Pines", where Osho says "we are not here to become a commodity", but to expand our creative potential. Life isn't about becomming better machines, but spectacular, ecstatic, joyous, alive human beings.

Active Meditation to Stillness

Osho's contribution to the world of meditation is enormous. He devised techniques to bridge everyday individuals to the experience of the beyond: the no-mind. To do this he created a number of active meditations: Osho Kundalini Meditation, Osho Dynamic Meditation, Osho Nadhabrahma Meditation, Osho Gourishankar Meditation, Osho Whirling Meditation, Osho No-Dimensions Meditation, Osho Chakra Sounds Meditation and many many more!! These techniques are diamonds still undiscovered by much of society and yet, the silent explosion continues.

Each individual has different needs and is a unique individuality, hence the tremendous emphasis on so many different methods. However, ultamately, the technique must dissappear and only meditation should be left over.

This word "meditation" is not something which can be explained, rather only indicated. These meditation techniques are modern gateways. There is no method for stillness or the experience of the beyond, thus every Osho Active Meditation leaves a 15-20 minute period of absolute silence at the end which left without any method. It is simply cleaning the house and inviting the guest.

When the guest comes is uncontrollable.

We will be experimenting with many of Osho's meditation techniques in the Osho Meditation Centers and alternating between very active techniques like Osho Kundalini Meditation to more subtle active techniques like Osho Nadhabrahma Meditation.

Meditation Cancelled Saturday Feb 9 in Mississauga

The meditation in Osho Mississauga has been cancelled due to poor weather conditions. It will be rescheduled ASAP pending further notice.

Fabulous.

The meditation in Guelph....absolutely a delight. An ambience that filled the room with silence, celebration, and the culmination of both: meditation. Osho Nadhabrahma Meditation vibrated the air, enhanced awareness and fueled further celebration.


Space is an important function of creating a meditative atmosphere, not only to meditate in, but just to live life in. Here is what Osho has to say about space (http://www.osho.com/ ),

"Existence is so spacious that it allows you absolute freedom to be whatsoever you want to be, whatsoever you have the capacity to be. "It allows you an unhindered space to grow and to blossom. It does not impose anything on you." -Osho


"Understanding light: light creates space, so in design look to create a canvas for its dance of energy - for both the natural and the man-made light." - Osho

Osho Celebration Jan 19 in Guelph!

Celebrate, meditate and elevate this Saturday, Jan 19th, in Guelph for an Osho Celebration. It will be a beautiful event and is a continuation of Sadhana Meditation Acitivity (which also happens in Mississauga) and we invite those interested to get in contact with Amrito ASAP (bhattara@uoguelph.ca).

The Sadhana Deep Meditation Home (not quite a center--but a home where meditation happens!), in Guelph, is simply a project to have a meditation spot, somewhere in Ontario. It is there to host meditation events from time to time and is open to meditators who book an appointment before hand, to get involved in further meditations. It is merely an excuse for myself (Amrito) to do more meditation in this space and share it with others.
