Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part 3

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part 3

[0:00-0:42] This is Ganj Primary School in Gadarwada where his education started. It is said that every saint has a king inside. Family members also used to call him Raja(king). He insisted her parents once that he wants to go to school riding on the elephant otherwise he would not go there. Osho did not really go to school till his parents arranged an elephant for him. People still talk about this incident. As a sign of remembrance, villagers made this big gate through which even an elephant can pass.



Arvind Jain (Osho's brother) [0:43-0:55] People would come and complain about him. Parents used to understand that he is mischievous. So, they would not say anything to Osho.

[0:57-1:22] Those people are also required who can give back innocence of your childhood to you. Same eyes that children have. Same joy, same bliss and same state of amazement.

[1:40-2:16] After finishing his primary education, Osho enrolled in this middle school. This is room of grade 8. Furniture, walls and any other thing present in this room know that Osho was a brilliant student. He started asking questions which were difficult for the teachers to understand. They found themselves in tough situation as they were not able to answer those questions. It became like a daily routine. So, school administration restricted him to sit in the class room.

[2:17-2:30] For study purposes when he used to school, he would ask questions from teachers. The teachers were not able to answer him. Finally, teachers used to leave school or would ask him to leave.

[2:31-2:53] Being irritated, school administration complained higher authorities about Osho. They did not want him to come to school but higher authorities contradicted with school administration. They replied administration that they are not supposed to feel irritated by such questions. They added that he is a brilliant student and they should allow him to study. So, Osho continued his study here. He used to shock his teachers by scoring highest marks in the class.

[2:55-3:07] There was no electricity in the village when he was student of 8th grade. So, he used to study till 1 am just under the light of lantern.

[3:08-3:32] This is Jabalpur Female's Institute of Nursing Science and Research. It was first known as city college. In 1951, Osho Rajneesh enrolled in this institute when he was 21. But he did not find any interest in studying books. His questions pestered professors of this institute. Even, principal of this college expelled him. He was thrown out of the college.

[3:34-3:54] Osho Rajneesh used to initiate strikes in the college if needed. And his professors would know exactly that if any political turmoil or strikes are happening in the college then Osho is responsible for them.

[3:56-4:10] Buddha's would not miss. They will keep coming. Their business is to come and wake up those, who are sleeping. And those ones who are sleeping, have business not to get bothered by the ones who are trying to wake them up.

[4:12-4:32] Later, Osho Rajneesh got admission in this D.N Jain College but here also professors felt hesitation arguing with him. He was again stopped to attend classes. He was just called to take exams. In spite of all that, he scored good marks without attending classes as he did in the school.

[4:35-5:13] Whenever you are reading, you can just look at the page and turn it. In between, if you have a pencil then you can underline important logic, line, argument or point. Osho used to read 30-40 books in three days. It needs very sharp memory. We have not heard of any man except Osho in the history who read books like that.

[5:20-6:01] 21st March 1953, he enlightened in Jabalpur Bhawartal garden while meditating under this maul tree. He acquired the knowledge that he has been searching since childhood. This person named Rajneesh was not just Rajneesh now. He was now able to enter in the waves of trans. He had attained Buddhahood. From this point, he had to pass through the way at which he had to fight with different situations. Where, he had to start new revolution in the society. This man had to bring such a unique revolution at this point which would leave marks in the society for unlimited time.

[6:07-6:14] He (Osho) said I just do not want to give you lesson about life but also want to teach you death.

[6:15-6:39] You daily see children getting born. You daily see people dying around you. When you will understand that whatever comes into existence, later dies at some point. Whatever has been made, will fall. It is a matter of few moments. It is a castle of playing cards. Sudden gust of wind would come and it will scatter.

[6:48-7:03] Acharya Rajneesh wanted to unveil mystery which he had understood. He chose young people for that. He himself as a professor of philosophy, started motivating youth about new thinking and meditation.

[7:09-7:19] He actually was in search of people who were ready to enter in the depth of meditation, people in which there was possibility of some revolution.

[7:26-7:42] He once said that he will wander across different villages, will look into different eyes, he will work as hard as possible on those who are capable to wake up and he does not want to die as a failure.

[7:49-8:11] I want to start revolution of meditation. Each individual should have capacity to meditate. Each individual should have technique of meditation. So, whenever they want, they can deeply enter in themselves.

[8:18-8:56] As soon as you understand, it is better. Here, nothing is ours. It is just a milestone not the final destination. You can rest for the whole night, but you have to start in the morning. I agree, we do not know from where we have come and where we will go. But one thing is definite. Once, there was a day, when we were not here. And it is definite too, there will be day when we would not be here.

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part 2

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part 2

[0:00-0:24] Osho did not only ask his followers to live freely but he himself treated his life like a celebration. In the form of Osho, people saw such a Buddha for the first time who was unveiling deepest mysteries of existence through jokes and humor.

[0:24-0:53] One father was teaching famous Napoleon quote to his child that nothing is impossible in this world. The son asked his father to wait for a minute. Child ran to the bathroom and brought back a toothpaste pack. He squeezed the pack tightly to let paste come out of it and asked his father to put paste back into the pack.



[0:56-1:17] He was "Zorba The Buddha". Zorba signifies of richness from the outer world and Buddha means being rich from inside. So, it is rich from inside and outside both.

[1:21-1:48] Some people know Osho as a great debater, some people say that he was a rebel, some say that thoughts of Osho used to awestruck people. There was something present in him which made him look different from the normal children of his age. Osho's every effort was not less than a revolution, who always talked about changing old customs and traditions.

[1:52-2:01] He started his life with the revolution.

[2:03-2:32] Whatever traditional was going on the name of religion, he was hammering them hard. And if, you listen to the discourses of that time then you will find them very revolutionary. It seemed like he is throwing fire. When I used to see him during the discourses, it used to appear that fire is coming out of his cheeks. Cheeks would be all red, he looked like fire.

[2:32-2:48] Two things were happening that time. The traditional gurus were stealing material from Osho's books and were preparing there discourses and political people were using his lines for political purposes after reading his books.

[2:49-3:00] If, you understand Osho a bit, he did not use to like anything old. I would not say it was hate against old but he just did not like it. He left whatever was old.

[3:02-3:19] After reading "Ek Onkar Satnam", Mr Khushwant Singh commented: "I used to think that I am the best historian of Sikhism but after reading this, I came to know that I know nothing."

[3:22-3:49] Nanak found God through singing. He did not do any yoga or meditation. He just sang and found God. But he sang with such a force and effort, song itself became meditation and yoga.

[4:23-4:37] Around eighty years ago, a child was born in the same room of this house. Later, people knew him with the name of Osho.

[4:45-5:09] It is said that after his birth he did not take his mother's milk for three days. Osho's grandfather asked his mother to take bath and take him to the other room. She did so and finally he took his mother's milk. So, Osho's grandfather and mother felt that this child is not a normal child.

[5:10-5:25] When he came into this life, he did not take milk for three days. This is because in his last life, he was left with three days of practice to become enlightened. If, that practice would have been completed then he had no need to come in this life.

[5:25-5:48] Rajneesh loved his grandfather. He lived with his grandfather for seven years in this house after his birth. His grandfather used to call him "Raja". When, he was old enough to go to school, they named him "Rajneesh Chandra Mohan". Osho himself used to write just Rajneesh as his name.

[5:49-6:16] The family (grandmother and grandfather) of Osho was well settled there and he lived there till the age of eight. His grandmother was of rebel attitude and always used to support Osho. Osho was given full freedom of whatever he wanted to do. He did not study at all till the age of eight.

[6:17-6:43] Osho was seven years old when his grandfather died in the same house. Osho was shocked with his death. He felt this bitter reality of death for the first time. He lived its fear and pain. It is said that Osho's life changed suddenly at this point. Now, he used to spend all of his time understanding the mystery of life and death.

[6:46-7:17] You daily see children getting born. You daily see people dying around you. When you will understand that whatever comes into existence, later dies at some point. Whatever has been made, will fall. Before, you lose all your time and before you lose this wonderful life in doing insignificant things. It is necessary to wake up.

[7:18-7:48] As Osho grew up, Osho's those activities got boosted which people always considered unorthodox. Sometimes, he would follow the crowd carrying a dead man till they reach graveyard Or he would jump into the flooded river. He was of rebel nature since his childhood. His way of looking at the world was completely different from others. He was enough talented about converting anything into a debate. People started feeling uneasy from his deep questions.

[7:50-8:04] Early in the childhood, he started revolution from his own village. He was never in favor of traditional religious gurus and saints.

[8:05-8:22] They even do not know what I am doing or saying. They do not come, listen and understand but they just live on rumors. And ,they just try to force their illogical things one me.

[8:22-8:30] He said whatever he wanted to say. He did not compromise saying the truth.

[8:32-8:37] Lots of people felt relieved under his knowledge.

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part1

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation

[0:08-0:35] Meditation means no thinking, no desire, no memory and no imagination. The meaning of meditation is just being present from inside. Meditation is death of mind.

[1:17-1:39] I am not opponent of rebellious nature. It is difficult to find rebel lover better than me. I am not against rebel, I consider it as sacred. I do not believe in things like religion and principles as they tend to change.

[1:39-1:48] It appeared that whatever he says, does not belong to this world but it is something else.

[1:49-2:00] Your God is present because of your fear. You fabricated all your Gods because of your fear. I am here to remind you of God which originates from love rather than fear.

[2:00-2:11] He used to say that he is here for the buddhahood present within us and we all need to recognize that consciousness within us. So, he did not like any kind of worshiping, praying and traditional things.

[2:11-2:18] If you listen to the discourses of that time then you will find them very revolutionary.

[2:18-2:33] Whatever I am saying is my own experience, I do not trust anything except my own experience. I will not say anything to you what I have not known.

[2:33-2:37] He did not compromise at all in saying truth.

[2:39-2:43] There is no God for me except the truth.

[2:45-2:53] He was never in favor of traditional saints and religious teachers. So, he always messed with them and beat them.

[2:56-3:45] I am critic of scriptures. So called wise people of the world are searching for fame and status. They are searching for methods to boost their ego. There are a few mad people in this word who are seeking for truth, who are searching for themselves and this earth is saline just because of these few mad people. If, they would not be present everything would be tasteless.

[3:47-3:55] Those who leave for infinite journey, consider failure as success.

[4:00-4:08] The man of his age

[4:20] Birth Place of Osho: Kuchwada

[4:25-5:17] Following teachings of Osho, I reached Kuchwada. This all begin in 1931 when whole country was crazy about freedom from British but this village was as quiet as it is now. This village was not getting much influenced because of British rule and it remained same after independence. It was strange. It might have happened because existence had thought usage of this place in a different way. In the same village, brilliant child was born and world now know him with the name of Osho. The same Osho who unveiled the mystery of life and dyath in such a way that people went crazy for him.

[5:18-5:36] He (Osho) opened his arms and said "You came Reshma, You came today?, You came alone?" Then I fell in his feet and cried. It made his feet wet with my tears.

[5:46-6:06] Khanabdosh (a person who wanders around without settling at one place) is a lovely word. Khana means house and bdosh means shoulder. The khanabdosh means a person who is having his house on his shoulders. Truly speaking, we all are Khanabdosh in this world.

[6:07] One man who became God

[6:17] Man who changed the whole era

[6:27-6:37] When he used to play gilli danda (one of the game played in villages in India), he used to hit gillii with full consciousness.

[6:37-7:00] River was his favorite place. After school, he would come to his Grandmother, he would not even take few tea sips but used to run towards river. Then, he used to sit in the river alone. He would not care about time then. He would come back late at night around 10 or 12.

[7:04-7:45] And this is house of Osho's Grandfather. Osho spend his childhood in this house. After coming here, we came to know that Osho was a religious guru but he did not make his own religion. Neither, he adopted any religion. Millions of people followed him as if he is God but he did not make temples of his own. Neither, he let anyone to worship him. Instead, he asked people to meditate in a playful manner.

[7:50-8:08] My message is meditation and do not treat meditation as a serious act. Take it lightly, consider it in a playfulness.

[8:08-8:27] Traditional gurus say leave smoking, wife, alcohol, stealing etc. but he did not ask us to leave anything. Instead, he asked to add something. It does not matter what you do, just attach meditation with it.

[8:28-8:54] Forgive me, people are already suffering. This earth cannot tolerate more sadists. This earth now wants dancers and singers who can meditate. This earth wants new religion whose most fundamental quality would be state of bliss.

Scientific Facts can also Destroy your Ego

Scientific Facts can also Destroy your Ego

Have you ever come across any scientific fact which completely shook you from inside? Such facts can be helpful in destroying your ego. I love watching documentaries related to our universe. Such documentaries are always full of mind boggling facts. It makes us feel that this universe is more mysterious than we think. This whole existence is so widespread which is beyond our imagination.

Scientists say that the size of the visible universe is approximately 13.5 billion light years. It is the distance which light covers in the period of 13.5 billion years. I feel difficult digesting these big figures. When I try to imagine about its size, I reach nowhere because it is way beyond my thinking limit. When I think about this mysterious and vast existence, something shakes me from within. It makes me think that I am not even a tiny sand grain comparing to the size of the universe then why am I carrying so much of ego inside? I can get displeased by number of things around me but I am not even worthy and big enough to complain about anything. All our issues are like soap bubbles but they appear so much like rock solid to us. We consider ourselves so important in this universe which creates ego within us which is the main reason for all our sufferings.

We just need to go deep in such facts. Just spread your wings around and jump into the mystery of this existence. Have a look at the video. I hope it can shake you a bit.




The point is to leave yourself in the existence. Wherever existence takes you, you are ready to go. There is no point of your desire in this vast existence. Existence has given you birth and will destroy you. You have no control over it. Within this time frame, you are creating your own wishes, desires as if you are the creator. You feel that this universe is from you but the reality is, you are from the universe.

Scientific Study on Past Lives, Reincarnation and Souls

Scientific Study on Past Lives, Reincarnation and Souls

Everybody has fear of death. This fear forces us to investigate about the things like life after life, souls, spirit guides etc. Religions have been talking about these things since centuries but Scientists have just started taking this matter for investigation. There are number of scientists present in the world now who are very interested in such subjects. One of the popular scientist is Dr. Michael Duff Newton.

Dr. Michael Newton has a doctorate degree in the field of Psychology and he is a certified Master hypnotherapist. He wrote his study results through two different books. The name of his first book is "Journey of Souls" and it was published in 1994. His second book was "Destiny of Souls" which was published in 2000.

Dr. Michael Newton believed in traditional hypnosis to help psychologically disturbed persons. The concept of souls, afterlives and reincarnation was just an intellectual curiosity for him. He used to reject requests from people who would come to him and ask unorthodox questions about life and death. He finally got interested in this unorthodox field when he was counselling a young man. This young man had been suffering from chronic pain in his entire life. This man had already tried different doctors and therapies but nothing helped him. During his counselling, Dr. Michael Newton asked him to go to the course of his pain. Then, the patient started talking about World War 1. Doctor uncovered that he was World War 1 soldier in his former life and he was killed by bayonet in France. Now, the patient was able to get rid of his pain.

Under the influence of this incident and few clients, Dr. Michael Newton started exploring more about these things. Many hypnotists can take you to your past life. Such a session is called past life regression session. It is a different thing if they are real or not. Dr. Michael Newton took hypnosis to the new level. He was able to take their clients to the time present between two lives. It is the time of souls, ghosts, spirit guides when we do not have a physical body.

He considered hundreds of clients to do his research. Whatever he asked them during hypnosis sessions was recorded by him. He published his case studies in the form of two books named "Journey of Souls" and "Destiny of Souls". I have already talked above about these books.

Dr. Michael Newton gave strong points in one of his book about how one can enter in past lives through hypnosis? He wrote that mind is made up of three concentric circles. The outer circle represents our conscious mind which is our analytic and reasoning source. The second circle represents our sub-conscious mind which stores all our memories of present life and former lives. The inner most circle represents super conscious mind which facilitates highest self awareness to us. He writes that people do not dream or hallucinate during hypnosis. When clients are taken in trance, their brain slows down changing from Beta state, passes meditative alpha stage reaching theta state. This theta state is hypnosis state but not sleep. When, we sleep at night it is actually a delta state when messages starts falling from our brain to the sub-conscious. These messages then come in the form of dreams.

In theta state, conscious mind is not unconscious and hence we can send and receive messages from the memory. During this theta state, people report things as real observations. So, subjects cannot lie but they may misinterpret things as we do in the conscious state.

Critics of hypnosis believe that a subject can fabricate their dialogues and responses according to the suggestions made by the hypnotist but Dr. Michael Newton argued that he had done lots of cross-examination regarding that. Examining hundreds of clients had produced a fair amount of consistent results. Imaginations and hallucinations would have resulted in inconsistent case studies. In fact, people did not hesitate in correcting Dr. Newtons's statements during session.

If, you are afraid of death. These two books are worth reading. I could not read each and every case study in detail but I could understand the core points like Death and Departure, Gateway to the spirit world, Orientation, The Advanced Soul, Life Selection, choosing A new body, Rebirth etc. present in the books.
