" When someone is dancing madly in a blissful state, in ecstasy after meditation, he is creating vibrations around him. They may penetrate into anyone.They can become infectious; they do become infectious. This ecstasy can go to others also; this ecstasy can be felt. Others' hearts will be touched by it. And if you can create ripples around you, vibrations, you have served the world, and there is no other way to serve it -- you have served the divine, and there is no other way to serve it." OSHO

"In Buddha's time, dynamic methods of meditation were not needed. People were more simple, more authentic.They lived a more real life. Now, people are living a very repressed life, a very unreal life.When they don't want to smile, they smile.When they want to be angry, they show compassion. People are false, the whole life pattern is false.

People are just acting, not living. Many incomplete experiences go on being collected, piled up inside their minds.

Just sitting directly in silence won't help. The moment you will sit silently, you will see all sorts of things moving inside you; you will feel it almost impossible to be silent.  First throw those things out so you come to a natural state of rest. Real meditation starts only when you are at rest." OSHO , The Discipline of Transcendence.

Osho's Active Meditations

Apart from the 108 different techniques of meditation known and practised since the last thousands of years, Osho added his own techniques to suit for the contemporary man , so that we have more than 300 techniques now. 
They all involve a beginning stage of activity-- sometimes intense and physical--followed by a period of silence. All of Osho's meditation stages are accompanied by music that has been specially composed to guide the meditatorthrough the different stages. Osho has also recommended different meditations for different times of the day.
Here is a list of some of his powerful techniques.

                    Osho Sadhana Meditation Centre and Osho lovers in New York could not have found a better occasion for getting together for Satsang celebration than the Guru Purnima day itself, the day of all the buddhas of the past, present and the future. It was July 25th, sunday and with about 15 Osho lovers turning up in the warm New York morning by the East river in Astoria, and few friends who had stayed overnight in the centre, the event took off with morning ‘ gacchhami’ prayers and an energetic Dynamic Meditation.
         The breathing and shouting, the jumping and dancing prepared spaces into all of us for deeper silence and helped us move deeper into our being. And as we moved on to do Kirtans and group meditations before lunch, the energy in the Buddha hall was already rising.

          “The idea has gone very deep in the human mind that religious people have to be serious and sad, with long faces. Laughter seems to be too mundane. It is not so. Laughter is one of the most sacred phenomenons on the earth. In fact in profound laughter mind disappears exactly like it disappears in meditation. That's why laughter is so relaxing, so rejuvenating.”-  Osho 

              After enjoying a delicious fully vegetarian meal, all of us participated in laughing meditation, it started with jokes and turned into a meditation where laughter was happening all around, penetrating each of us, cleansing and soothing us from within.  The afternoon sharing sessions brought the group even close as we agreed upon the idea of having similar energetic meditation events every month. Each of us agreed to help the centre grow so that more people could benefit through regular active meditations and Satsangs. An Osho lover decided to become an annual member to help the centre and two new friends decided to help the centre on monthly basis

                  
                                 The evening white-robe celebration under the rising full-moon turned into a vibrant and wild dance with sannyasins dancing in joy, with love for Osho overflowing from their hearts. The energy was moving all of us. And by the end we were all wondering, “What was happening then?” It must have been Osho’s presence in the Buddha hall that evening. We concluded the evening Satsang with a group humming under the full-moon shower, so calm and healing.
            

                                                         All in all, nobody wanted to leave the Buddha hall and go back home after dinner …the ecstasy and the energy was soon to be dissipated amidst the busy New York subways and the hustle –bustle of downtown streets. And so we plan to meet again, after a month, for a more wilder dance, more  louder laughters….for falling deeper and deeper into silence and  rising higher and higher in your love, oh beloved Osho!!

                  Swami Anand Arun visited North America on the first week of June this summer and travelled all around the United States and Toronto, Canada conducting Osho meditation camps at different places sharing joy, sharing Osho's vision of a new man , initiating many many friends from New York, Chicago, Toronto, Dallas and Atlanta into a journey of love , meditation and celebration. On the last days of his travels this summer he returned back to Osho Sadhana Meditation Centre , Astoria, NewYork to make us dance in Osho's energy , to merge in an ocean of ecstasy , an evening full of sharing and celebration and meditation. 
                     
                       On the eve of his departure back to Osho Tapoban, Nepal  ,on July 14th,   swamiji thanked Osho for helping open so many centres in North America and also   inspired us to do Bhagwan's work with love , trust and total energy. We are all full of energy to spread meditation and Osho's vision of the new man in America.We all thank Arun swamiji for lightening up this fire once again in our hearts , a fire that will touch all the hearts of American people soon. Thank you swamiji...
