Petition for Democratic Reform

To whom it may concern,

This letter is a request for your support in moving towards a democratically elected governing body for the legacy of the Indian mystic known as Osho. Osho's legacy - including his principal meditation centre (Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune), and his publishing house (Osho International Foundation) - was left in the care of an “Inner-Circle”: a 21-member group of his closest disciples.

It took less than 10 years from Osho leaving the body for a deep split to emerge in the “Inner-Circle”. The membership of this “Inner-Circle” has undergone significant change – as has the number of people comprising it.

Osho is a visionary mystic whose outpourings of wisdom shall be a guiding light to millions of people for many decades - and most likely centuries - to come.

Osho left no spiritual successor. He also made it clear that the Inner-Circle was to function only as an administering body, and had no spiritual mandate. He left no instructions for the evolving membership to the Inner-Circle.

It is out of a wish to ensure that his legacy can remain available in a unified and pure form that the request is here made for your support in creating the foundation and principals for a democratically elected governing body to carry out Osho’s work.

Yours sincerely,

All the many Osho disciples.

    Something need to be done to Polish His vision back to central stage.
    Sannyasins who see that Rom is burning must shake the flute playing Nero, as it was in the amous proverb.

  2. As far as I remember Osho was rather vehemently against democracy talking of 'mob-ocracy'. Especially mocking the concept that you can elect a Pope.

    Luckily the very limited response, to say the least, to your blog shows how litle interest anyone have in all your efforts. Not everything done by the inner circle might be genial but your cirticism is completely way out without any connection to the world of reality and facts at all. Bodhi Heeren
