A decade after his dream project of making a feature film with Irrfan Khan as Osho Rajneesh fell through, Italian filmmaker Lakshen Sucameli has made a documentary on the controversial spiritual guru. A compressed version of the docu-series ‘Ten Thousand Shades of Osho’, titled ‘Osho the Movie’ (of one hour and 40 minutes) was screened recently at Yashwant International film festival organized by Maharashtra Government. The series will be released sometime later.
Sucameli said if he had his way, he would have made the film with Irrfan, who according to him was the apt choice to play Osho.
“I was doing a feature film more than ten years ago but that didn’t materialize so I switched into this one (docu-series), which took five years. Irrfan Khan was my first choice, and he liked Osho.
“And if I was the producer and if he was still alive, he would be the first choice,” the director told PTI in an interview.

Lakshen Sucameli’s Osho the Movie will be screened at PVR-The Pavilion Mall, Auditorium 6, at 12.15 pm on February 4. It “examines all elements of Osho’s life, including the contentious ones”.
Lakshen Sucameli has the advantage of an insider’s view of the philosophy and practice of Osho’s ideas
“The first time I met Osho was in 1978. Since then, I have had two purposes in life — to know myself and to share his vision. When I started working as a filmmaker, I knew that one day, I would make a film about him,” says Lakshen Sucameli, an Italian filmmaker, in the trailer of his five-hour docuseries Ten Thousand Shades of Osho.
Hello Naidunia : रानी दुर्गावती विश्वविद्यालय में जल्द स्थापित होगी ओशो पीठ, पाठकों के सवाल पर कुलपति प्रो.कपिल देव मिश्र ने बताया
Osho is the most well-known and controversial spiritual Master of our time. His books have sold millions of copies and his message continues to be relevant today. This documentary aims to represent his life through first hand recollections from people who have lived close to him. What is unique about this film is that the director-producer is himself an insider of the Osho movement, so he had access to those involved in the experience that no other director probably would. The film, however, is not a propaganda piece. It will, on the contrary, examine all elements of Osho’s life, including the contentious ones. The work contains previously unreleased footage recorded throughout the world.

Osho Birthday Special : ओशो ने अमेरिका से लौटकर कहा था- जबलपुर मेरे हाड़-मांस में बसा, यहां मिला सर्वाधिक आनंद
ओशो अमेरिका से निर्वासन उपरांत विश्वभ्रमण करते हुए जब पुन: भारत स्थित अपने पुणे आश्रम पहुंचे, तो कुछ समय मौन रहे। लेकिन जिस दिन उनका यह मौन टूटा, उन्होंने जो सर्वप्रथम जो शब्द जोर देकर कहे थे, वे थे, ‘जबलपुर मेरा पर्वतस्थल है, जहां मैं सर्वाधिक आनंदित हुआ।’
सुरेंद्र दुबे, जबलपुर। ओशो अमेरिका से निर्वासन उपरांत विश्वभ्रमण करते हुए जब पुन: भारत स्थित अपने पुणे आश्रम पहुंचे, तो कुछ समय मौन रहे। लेकिन जिस दिन उनका यह मौन टूटा, उन्होंने जो सर्वप्रथम जो शब्द जोर देकर कहे थे, वे थे, ‘जबलपुर मेरा पर्वतस्थल है, जहां मैं सर्वाधिक आनंदित हुआ।’ दरअसल, इसी से अंदाजा लगाया जा सकता है कि संस्कारधानी उन्हें कितनी प्रिय थी। यही वजह है कि उन्होंने जबलपुर को अलविदा कहते समय शहीद स्मारक सभागार में आयोजित अपने सम्मान समारोह में साफ शब्दों में कह दिया था कि जबलपुर मेरे हाड़-मांस में बसा है, इस शहर को भुला पाना मेरे लिए असंभव होगा।
“You want me to be jobless?”
Bhagwan develops an ear infection and asks me to find a local doctor. Along with Amrito I accompany Dr Jog to Bhagwan’s room. To find out about the infection, he starts by pushing a probe into His ear… then pressing deeper and observing Bhagwan’s expressionless Face alertly. The rising concern on his face is indisputable and he Finally snaps, “Isn’t this hurting?” “Yes it is very painful,” replies an unruffled Bhagwan making the doctor fly off the handle! He had been waiting to detect the point beyond which it hurts and stop there, for to go any further was dangerous! It pierces through my heart how, although acutely aware of it, Bhagwan lives at a distance from His body, and so also from any pain.

Former trustee of Osho International Foundation, others stage protest at Koregaon Park
Hindustan Times I Published on Jul 14, 2022 07:19 PM IST
Ma Sadhana, spokesperson, Osho International Commune in Pune, said, registration and gate pass is a must to enter the premises. Those who followed it were allowed in .
Many followers came to the centre to visit the commune as it was Guru Pournima on Wednesday, but the authorities did not give them entry, stating that it was against norms.
PUNE Former trustee of the Osho International Foundation and the editor of “Osho World Swami” Chaitanya Kirti along with a few other disciples held a protest at the Osho International Centre in Koregaon Park on Wednesday over several issues and claimed that they were not allowed to enter the commune.
Many followers came to the centre to visit the commune as it was Guru Pournima on Wednesday, but the authorities did not give them entry, stating that it was against norms.
“A curfew was imposed in the area surrounding the centre. All the revenue earned from Osho’s intellectual property is diverted elsewhere. The present administration is trying to sell the ashram property,” said Kirti and raised the issue of selling the land of Osho Ashram.
Ma Sadhana, spokesperson, Osho International Commune in Pune, said, “Registration and gate pass is a must to enter the premises. Those who followed it were allowed in .Those who didn’t, were not.”
According to Kirti, even as Osho’s place of birth and death is in India, Westerners have the recognition rights of Osho’s intellectual property, books, audio tapes, audio-visual tapes, and trust property.
“He spent most of his time in India. However, Westerners have the recognition rights of Osho’s intellectual property, books, audio tapes, audio-visual tapes, and trust property. The headquarters of Osho International has been shifted to Zurich, where all the benefits are going. Many restrictions are being imposed on followers without allowing Osho’s thoughts to reach the people. All the money from the literature claiming Osho’s intellectual property goes to Zurich. Indian Osho ashrams, especially those in Pune, do not get any income from it. On the contrary, they are showing their dominance over the management here,” he said.
The mind is always very defiant. If we are trying hard to concentrate on the Light, for instance, it will resist, revolt and drag us everywhere else but to the Light. And this tussle continues every day for everyone.
When Vinod Khanna spoke about leaving films and family for Osho: ‘Everybody has to travel alone’
By: Entertainment Desk New Delhi | Updated: April 28, 2021 08:32 IST
Vinod Khan passed away on April 27, 2017, after battling bladder cancer for years. Today, on his fourth death anniversary, we revisit his tryst with Osho and what Akshaye Khanna said about his father’s decision of leaving films at the peak of his career.
Veteran Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna was a man who charmed his way into the hearts of the audience in the 1970s and 1980s. His diverse body of work brought him accolades, and he became the leading man of Hindi cinema with his smouldering good looks. At the peak of his career, however, Khanna quit showbiz and became a follower of spiritual guru Osho Rajneesh. He frequented Pune’s Osho International Meditation Resort (Osho Ashram), and in 1982, he shifted to Rajneeshpuram in Oregon in the US to be with his guru.
When Indira sought Osho secretary’s help to persuade Rajiv Gandhi to enter politics
Article about Laxmi being asked by Indira Gandhi to help persuade Rajiv Gandhi to enter politics. Published in Economic Times, India, on December 10, 2017.
After Sanjay Gandhi’s death in a plane crash, his mother Indira Gandhi wanted her other son Rajiv to give up being a professional pilot and enter politics and sought the help of Osho’s secretary Laxmi to persuade him, claims a new book.
Indira Gandhi, India’s fourth prime minister, was interested in spiritual life like her father Jawaharlal Nehru, says poet-artist Rashid Maxwell in “The Only Life: Osho, Laxmi, and the World in Crisis”.
“From an early age, she had been touched by the words and the being of Osho. She was, however, first and foremost an ambitious politician so she never actually came to his ashram even when she was in Poona because Osho was already a controversial figure by then,” the book says.
