More About the Author

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.


Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today.

His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

5.0 out of 5 stars No Bigger Lie Than Death, February 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: And Now, And Here: On Death, Dying and Past Lives (Paperback)

This is a book which covers the mysteries of life and death. I couldn't stop reading and the book was an incredible support in a difficult period of my life. It actually change my approach to life - and probably to death. (I can't say much about it as I am still alive) There are many books on the market about death and dying. This book feels like it gives you an inside of an experience. For the firsttime I had some kind of understanding that meditation is a kind of "death experience" in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Osho delivers again., July 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: And Now, And Here: On Death, Dying and Past Lives (Paperback)

One of the most important and difficult things I have had to learn is to "take death as an advisor," without becoming morbid. Osho addresses this quite well. Perhaps I should have asked him earlier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confronting Death and Dying through Meditation, August 28, 2011

BYF - See all my reviews

This review is from: And Now, And Here: On Death, Dying and Past Lives (Paperback)

What happens when we die? Is reincarnation a superstition or fact? Do we spend time as disembodied spirits between lives? how and why do we choose to be reborn?

These are among the questions being asked at a meditation retreat in the remote hills of Gujarat, India. The subject under discussion is death, and how the fear of it affects the lives of human beings. The man conducting the retreat is Osho, one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time.

'And Now, And Here', provides a front-row seat at the proceedings, as Osho brings us to encounter our attitudes towards death and dying. He challenges us to examine our beliefs about what will happen when we die and demonstrates how those beliefs reflect our deepest fears. His healing alternative is contained in these pages.. not as a new belief system but as a method to gain a direct personal experience of our own immortality through meditation. As an antidote to fear he offers a way to enter death consciously and in a spirit of adventure. And along the way he answers the questions facing everyone who wonders about death and what happens when we die.
