Sannyas without Borders or Morality

Osho created a climate which virtually guaranteed his own people would kill him. He taught his neo-sannyasins to subvert India's strict Hindu culture of morality. His sannyas took the name and clothing of ascetics but lived as hedonists. Imagine how offensive it is for deeply religious people to see monks and nuns walking down the street with no underwear and kissing - this is the offense that sannyas knowingly caused in India.

Osho did not want his sannyas to be hypocrites, to not hide or suppress their feelings but to let it all out. Osho could not contain the tsunami of pent up rage, jealousy and hate which flowed from some sannyasins, and in the end it killed him.

To quote Christopher Calder who first met Acharya Rajneesh (Osho) in his Bombay apartment in December of 1970:

"Rajneesh felt that teaching ethics was unnecessary because meditation would automatically lead to good behavior. The actions of Rajneesh and his disciples proves that theory to be completely false. Rajneesh taught that you should do as you please because life is both a dream and a joke. This attitude led to the classically fascist belief that one can become so high and mighty that one is beyond the need for old fashioned values and ethical behavior."

Calder is attacked by a mob of sannyasins on every sannyas forum which he posts including Sarlo's manipulated lists.
