The story of a man who, for 12 years, lived at the feet of the most controversial spiritual Master of our age: Osho. The author is one of the few European disciples who had the good fortune and the courage to stay with Osho through a series of tumultuous events, both in India and particularly in the United States. Life with the Master was unpredictable, insecure and chaotic, as Osho was creating new challenges for his disciples on a daily basis. While describing this adventurous journey, Dr Azima also sheds light on contemporary spirituality and presents a seven-step path for seekers. This is a powerful story, a deeply devotional book and a must-read for any spiritual seeker. Dr AzimaV. Rosciano studied medicine in Italy, obtaining his M.D. in Medicine &Surgery at the University of Palermo in 1977. After a short period of working in conventional hospitals in Sicily, he left Europe, travelling overland to India. Once in India, he met Osho, immediately became a disciple, and remained with him until the mystic's death in 1990. Transformed by this experience, Azima returned to the medical profession, and soon became one of Italy'smost recognised and respected homeopathic doctors. Since then, he has published two books on medicine and two CDs of music therapy, as well as many articles in various magazines. He also has given several interviews on radio and television about the relationship between medicine and meditation.

Osho: The Buddha For the Future, serendipitously arrives in the wake of the explosive release of the Netflix documentary series, ‘Wild Wild Country.’ Author Maneesha James witnessed first hand, and kept a meticulous record of the creation of Osho’s communes and the evolution of his work as they unfolded. This, the first volume of a trilogy, opens at the ashram in Pune, India, in the early ‘70’s. The reader follows this phase through Osho’s public discourses on many of the ancient masters, the early experimentations with meditation techniques in which the author was personally involved, Osho’s unique partnering of meditation with therapy, the introduction of ‘Zorba the Buddha’ and ‘The Psychology of the Buddhas,’ his energy work, and much more. Along with her own observations and experiences, Maneesha’s interviews with numerous key players cast a whole new understanding on the remarkable years of Rajneeshpuram in Oregon. Her account fills in the gaping omissions in the Netflix docuseries – providing an, intimate, in-depth understanding of what it was like to be a modern-day seeker in a contemporary mystery school designed to help realize a daring new vision for humanity, espoused by an iconoclastic spiritual master. In addition, for those willing and able to look below the hype, the inside story behind the political machinations – both on the part of the commune administrator and the US government – makes for a riveting read. Osho: The Buddha For the Future provides a valuable testimony to a spiritual master far ahead of his time, and is a remarkable record of the efforts of the most powerful government in the world to silence him.

In Zen: The Path of Paradox, Osho suggests Zen as a possible bridge between East and West, and between the scientific and the spiritual. “Without science, the East has lost much; without meditation, the West has lost much. I am trying to bring together East and West, because together they will create the whole.” Osho encourages the reader to throw off the accumulated “knowing” of a lifetime—to let go of physical, mental, and emotional tensions, to relax into the flow of an extraordinary discourse and become receptive to the present moment and the potential within. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Osho, also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, was an Indian mystic who developed an international following of seekers in the 1970s. He initially established his headquarters in Pune, India, before relocating to Central Oregon, America, in 1981. The American commune, known as Rajneeshpuram, became embroiled in scandal in 1985, as allegations surfaced of seriously criminal wrongdoing by a core group of managerial staff at the commune. Within this context, Osho was arrested for immigration violations in late October, 1985. He spent a total of twelve nights and twelve days in US custody, and was held in a total of four jails. After taking an Alford plea and being deported, Osho eventually returned to Pune, India, where, in November 1987, he delivered a discourse in which he alleged that he was poisoned by the US government whilst in their custody for twelve days, some two years earlier. During this discourse he also suggests the US government may have been involved in an attempt to kill him by placing a bomb under the chair he was sitting on in jail, while waiting to be released from custody. Then, in September 1989, nearly two more years later, a press conference is held in America by two of Osho's disciples. It was said that Osho was displaying symptoms consistent with thallium poisoning. The two disciples also handed out copies of a book that allegedly proved that Osho was poisoned by the US government: 'Bhagwan: 12 Days That Shook the World'. There are a number of other books written by key disciples that also address this issue, spearheading the claim that, among other things, Osho was indeed poisoned by the US government whilst in their custody for twelve days in late 1985. This book looks into the claim that the US government poisoned Osho with thallium and or a radioactive material, as well as the claim that the US may have been involved in other efforts or attempts to harm or kill him, including placing him in a cell with a man dying of AIDS, sedating him, and attempting to kill him using an explosive device. Also taken up is an apparently sinister plot Osho overheard, indicating an attempt to indirectly cause harm in some way, and the admission of Osho to a jail facility under the false name of David Washington. This book looks into the anecdotal evidence supporting the allegations of wrongdoing by the US authorities, and examines the various arguments put forward based on this evidence. In particular, this book plays close attention to the unfolding events during the twelve days in US custody, but it also plays close attention to what Osho himself said on this subject in the weeks, months, and indeed years following his brief period of incarceration. For context, also considered is the dire circumstances at Rajneeshpuram, prior to his arrest for immigration fraud.
