The Sannyas Mafia Decree: Not Even Osho Is Free

It is a commonly held belief that Osho exercised such magnetic control over his followers that they could only carry out his wishes and not their own. This view is not only naive but untrue.

Osho was a prisoner inside his own ashram and lived in seclusion. Contact with Osho was limited to one person, Sheela, who was accused of poisoning and murder plots. Osho's room, as were all ashram facilities, bugged. Sheela did not have the ability by herself to execute all of the crimes of which she is accused.

Pari writing as Sam in "Life of Osho" describes a plot which would require a dedicated team of electricians.

"The whole Ranch was bugged. Not just the hotel and
public telephones – the entire place was wired. Osho’s
room was bugged, so was Vivek’s. The tapping had been
done with extraordinary, one could almost say loving, care;
housewire had been removed from its outer plastic insulation
and replaced by strands of telephone wire leading to
the hidden mikes, and then the casing had been resealed;
so that even if you checked all you would see was normal
housewiring. The F.B.I. was very impressed by that. Osho
was bugged by a tiny mike hidden inside an alarm buzzer
Sheela had insisted he have."

Where are those electricians today? "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" has tracked one down. This former ashram electrician happens to work closely with Sarlo. This is no coincidence.

Pari was an editor of Sannyasnews.com, a site dedicated to exploring sannyas issues without censorship or fear. Sannyasnews was frequently attacked by hackers. Who would have something to fear from a few old sannyasins discussing what might have been the cause of Osho's death?

"The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" will reveal all in future articles.
