The information of suspension of Facebook Pages was shared by Swami Chaitanya Keerti to Pune Pulse.
The Indian Facebook Pages are of Osho disciples and admirers who want to freely spread their Master’s word but Switzerland’s Osho International Foundation creates numerous obstacles in their way as this limits their earnings. One of the pages that was suspended yesterday was of Osho’s brother, “ Swami Shailendra Saraswati”.
Osho has millions of disciples and lovers in India and around the world. In India we have always believed that meditation or Dhyan is inestimable and no limitations should be placed on it. thousands of Osho lovers are preparing to knock on the doors of the court and challenge the unfair monopoly on Osho’s legacy.
This is not the first time this has happened and a trend has been observed that whenever there is an important occasion close to the heart of disciples…like Guru Poornima ( which is no longer celebrated in Osho Pune commune ), such harassment is more likely to occur.
It is indeed an irony, that a trademark and copyright has been placed on the teachings of a Master who never believed in the copyright of thoughts and meditation, as observed by the renowned author and journalist Khushwant Singh, who wrote: “How can you catch the sea breeze in a net? The slogan of true Osho disciples is “Osho, everybody’s birthright; nobody’s copyright.” ( Tribune India, This Above All Chandigarh: 22 July 2000):
