On this day of utmost importance, Swami Amit Saraswati from Osho Dham said, “Humanity has seen utter turbulence of the inner & outer with covid-19. The incessant flow of thoughts is troublesome, and meditation is the key. All are welcome to join us at Osho Dham to meditate & celebrate.” He further added, “Turbulence in our ashram in Pune is a matter of great worry to all of us. Disciples are distraught at the news coming from Pune and would like the Central Government to make inquiry into the goings-on there.”
“Sitting silently is not the first but later step towards meditation”, says Ma Naina of Osho Dham. She remarked, “We humans suppress tears, pain, fear and even laughter within. These emotions need to be cathartic before sitting with closed eyes. Silence happens as a result of releasing all suppressed emotions. This birthday celebration of Osho could be a beginning for many who are seeking peace, joy and silence within. It will be days of cheer, joy, silence, great food, beautiful ambiance and love at Osho Dham.”

He has opened the world of various meditation techniques to suit the needs of different people which also includes Active and passive techniques that work best for modern minds who find it difficult to sit in silence as the first step.
