Highlights from the Osho Spring Festival!

What a Day of total Celebration!

The Osho Silence Meditation Retreat was a tremendous success and there was enough energy in the room to take the roof off. The silence was penetrating, the dance was contagious, eyes were closed & hearts were opened. Osho's various meditation techniques were introduced along with his discourses, but most importantly, His energy. Osho is the energy & fragrance of an enlightened master opening the doors to all the Buddhas of the past, the present and those to come. An energy saying AWAKE AWAKE AWAKE....

A similar two-day meditation workshop called Osho Awareness Intensive with Ma Dharm Jyoti is coming soon in June! Please register soon to book your spot!
The next week the Osho Spring Festival took to the spring waters of Lake Ontario.

Celebration on the Lake!

Osho Maulshree Meditation Center held a shorter meditation event the following week after the Osho Silence Meditation Retreat. Osho Chakra Sounds Meditation was done as well as a Zen Walk to the Lake (just a few minutes from the center). O Sadhana is planning on holding more and more events outdoors during the summer! The Osho Meditation Camp with Sw. Anand Arun is being held in the beautiful natural setting of Northumberland Heights in Cobourg, Ontario. The chance to experience meditation in full-bloom with a fresh breeze, morning mist, intense sun as well as the moon & the stars will be during that, so don't miss out (Register soon!)

Osho Neo Sannyas: A Flight Into the Open Sky...

Neena becomes Ma Yoga Niyati with beloved Ma Anu

On April 25, Osho Jagaran Meditation Center hosted a spontaneous Sannyas Celebration. Ma Anu initiated Ma Yoga Niyati, and the energy was absolutely riveting. Here is what Osho says about Sannyas:

“Sannyas means courage more than anything else, because it is a declaration of your individuality, a declaration of freedom, a declaration that you will not be any more part of the mob madness, the mob psychology. It is a declaration that you are becoming universal; you will not belong to any country, to any church, to any race, to any religion.”
Osho, Finger Pointing to the Moon

Join in on the dance for some of our major upcoming events in May, June and July...

Osho Summer Festival June:

2-Day Meditation Workshop
Saturday and Sunday: June 20 & 21

Awareness Intensive with Ma Dharm Jyoti

Ma Dharm Jyoti is one of Osho’s first disciples during his time in Bombay. She is the author of an internationally renowned book, 100 Tales for Ten Thousand Buddhas.
She has been traveling all over the world leading meditation camps.
"This is an invitation to explore a new way of life. Each moment in our life, we are at a cross road: between unawareness and awareness, between being absent or being present. The mind lives in a sort of sleep. In this weekend intensive we will have another look at our lives and will experiment with some of the chosen techniques devised by Osho, to rediscover our real being in its innocence and purity. Osho defines meditation as total sensitivity. This workshop can lead you to an experience of inner harmony, relaxation and expanded awareness. To find our real being is the greatest achievement in spirituality. Then each moment is celebration.Let us meditate and celebrate together. "
Ma Dharm Jyoti

"Happiness happens when you fit with your life, when you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy. Then suddenly you will come to know: meditation follows you. If you love the work that you are doing, if you love the way you are living, then you are meditative. "

"Meditation is not contemplation because it is not thinking at all – consistent, inconsistent, crazy, sane. It is not thinking at all; it is witnessing. It is just sitting silently deep within yourself, looking at whatsoever is happening inside and outside both. Outside there is traffic noise, inside there is also traffic noise -- the traffic in the head. So many thoughts – trucks and buses of thoughts and trains and airplanes of thoughts, rushing in every direction. But you are simply sitting aloof, unconcerned, watching everything with no evaluation.

"I am not much of a religious person, I am not a saint, I have nothing to do with spirituality. All those categories are irrelevant about me. You cannot categorize me, you cannot pigeonhole me. But one thing can be said, that my whole effort is to help you release the energy called love-intelligence. If love-intelligence is released, you are healed."

Osho Sadhana Awareness: Osho Silence Meditation Retreat

The Osho Silence Meditation Retreat in Brampton, Ontario, held recently this weekend was incredible. Many new and old friends joined and took a further look into their beings and reality. The silence was tangible and the energy delightful---a space to tranform and transend.

Those whom were new to Osho Meditations and the mystic himself, were given a taste of silence through movement---and stillness too.









Many Osho Discourses, books, photos and robes were put on sale---so the message and fragrance could be taken home.

The evening finished with celebration and dance---two things an Osho event can't miss out on. Every month a meditation event of this nature will soon be planned. But if you are in the Greater Toronto Area (Inlcuding Toronto) or Guelph, contact me for further details on future events. Regular weekly events will continue.
