During this period, he also answered over 10,000 questions from his disciples during his discourses. Osho spoke over 13,000 words estimated to total 33,000,000 words in his daily discourses. Later, their disciples wrote down their sayings in book form, says Osho in his talks on the Gita. The enlightened masters never wrote down, they just spoke what they experienced. The Song Celestial or the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Dhammapada, Mahavir's sayings, Lao Tzu's insights, the Koran… all these books were never written but first spoken. He living books that remain alive down the centuries were never written. During this period, he also answered over 10,000 questions from his disciples during his discourses I must hear this book – read it out to me.” It is said that Vivekananda kept on reading aloud from the book – and disappeared in meditation.ETERNAL Osho spoke over 13,000 words estimated to total 33,000,000 words in his daily discourses. What harm can there be in it? How can this book hurt you? You are young, your eyes are still fresh, and I am old, it is hard for me to read. He said, “I cannot read on.” Ramakrishna insisted, “Go ahead and read. Read a little but read it aloud to me.” Vivekananda read just three or four sutras and he started shaking, every cell of his body began trembling. He said to him: “You are young, you are still strong – read from the book lying there. Ramakrishna urged him to read out a few lines from a book Ashtavakra Gita lying there. As Narendranath, he was extremely argumentative, an theist, a rationalist.
When he came to Ramakrishna his name was still Narendranath – later on Ramakrishna named him Vivekananda. There is an incidence in the life of Vivekananda. There was no big crowd, just a couple of thousands of seekers. There he chose to talk on Ashtavakra Gita, calling it Mahageeta. Thousands of people did throng to Osho’s public discourses at the open grounds of Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Pune.Īfter these public discourses, Osho moved to his ashram in Pune and settled there. Osho has given over 200 discourses on it, and a large number of people have been reading and relishing them.
But still it is quite easy for a large number of people to understand Gita. For most of us, even this too may be difficult as we often become victims to our ambition and ego very easily. One can choose to be a devotee, a karmayogi, a warrior like Arjuna, and at the same time, can be in total surrender to God, not looking for any reward. This holy book has a divine message of living a multi-dimensional life without renouncing the world. In India and abroad, Bhagwad Gita is read by most of the Hindus and the liberal followers of the other religions also.
