Osho's book - Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy Chapter 2 Summary

Today, I started reading chapter 2 and my respect for Krishna went rising. The name of the chapter was "Krishna was complete and whole". Osho Rajneesh highlighted many significant points about Lord Krishna. As, I discussed in the last post about his duality, he talked more about his duality in this chapter.

He compared him with people like Mahavira, Mahatma Buddha and Jesus. According to the people like Mahatma Buddha and Mahavira, life was like a suffering and pain. So, they favored about a different world after life. They never came across of any joy and laughter present in their lives. They had their own reasons to do so. It was very difficult for people to live in those times. Science was not much developed and the life of humans continued to be miserable. Now, the science has made our life a lot easier. As, we will move to the future, we will be moving away from the people like Mahavira and Mahatma Buddha but Krishna will be becoming more and more significant. It was only Krishna who favored human life to be enjoyed. He asked people to dance and sing. His ability to play flute, dance and enjoy were the biggest proofs of love to his own love. He left a landmark for us that gave a new dimension to religion.

Bhagwan Osho Rajneesh tried to explain the talk between Arjuna and Krishna during the war of Mahabharata.

Later, I felt a lot of inconsistency in his explanation but overall it was very interesting to read the first two chapters of this book.

I will continue to read this book and will finish this book as soon as possible. I have come across different names in this book like Rama, Arjuna, Mahatma Gandhi etc. and Osho Rajneesh clearly explained that how Krishna was unique from all of them.
