Part VII : Osho creates New Meditations
From August 1974 to August 1975 Osho develops several new one-hour
meditations, which continue to be the basis of the ashram daily
program today, together with Dynamic Meditation and Whirling.
These include Kundalini, Nataraj, Nadabrahma, Gourishankar, Vipassana,
Devavani, Mandala; instructions for these are given. He introduces
many personal meditations, which become well-known through The
Orange Book, and later through the book Meditation: The first
and Last Freedom.
The ancient methods of meditation were all developed in the
East. They never considered the Western man…. I am creating
techniques which are not only for the Eastern man, but which are
simply for every man - Eastern or Western. light16
Meditation was not something arduous or difficult, but to the
Western mind or even to the Eastern mind today - which is absolutely
overtaken by the Western ideology - watching the mind is not an
easy job. So much garbage and so much crap has been forced into
the mind that you go almost crazy just watching it. It is a film
which begins, but never ends. You can go on watching day in, day
out, year in, year out and the mind is always ready to supply
new images, new dreams.
It is because of this I had to create a few other devices -
Dynamic, Kundalini, and others - before you could enter into a
silent witnessing meditation like Vipassana. I have made devices
to help you cathart, throw out your garbage rather than waste
time in watching it. chit03
