  • Meditation is a must for happy life: Swami Arun (Nepalnews.com)
     Swami Arun said it’s impossible to become happy if we go on trying to fulfil our desires. “True happiness comes when we are free of desires,” he said. Happy and blissful life can be created only when we look into our innerself and meditation is the key to explore yourself, he said.  Click here for full article.

Osho Med. Retreat in Atlanta (9-11 July 2010)

Swami Anand Arun Coordinated a three days meditation camp in Atlanta at Osho Laxmi Meditation center.

This was the last meditation camp in this trip but the energy in the retreat was at its peak. More than 40 friends participated from 8th July, starting with evening satsang. 6 friends were initiated into Osho's neo-sannyas in a two beautiful Sannyas Celebrations.

We practiced various Osho Meditation and Sw Arun explained them with a lot of background about how and when the meditations were created. There was a lot of Sharing, questions and answers - both from Swami Arun and from the participants. The atmosphere was very non serious and yet the silences were so deep. On the last day, the camp was over at 6 pm but most of the people stayed until 9pm.

Friends in Atlanta have started planning on organizing a "Meditation camp on a Cruise" - which would be one of a kind experience. More details will come up soon.

Glimpses of the retreat are available [here]. Videos Coming soon!

Osho Med. Retreat in Dallas, TX (2-4 July 2010)

More than 60 friends participated in this retreat at Zorba Studios – Osho Meditation center in Dallas. Zorba Studio has been instrumental in attracting more new friends to Osho Meditations and the number grows every year, for three days, the studio felt like a commune.

Swami Arun led people to Osho Meditations and ended them with moments of deep silence. He shared a lot of his stories, answered plenty of our questions and cleared our doubts. “Meditation is living moment to moment, joyfully, as awarely as possible”, shared Swami Arun in one of the sharing sessions.


In two different sannyas celebrations, 10 new friends were initiated into Osho’s Neo-Sannyas, a life changing experience.

Thank you all for organizing and participating in this beautiful meditation retreat in Dallas. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta soon.

 "Osho sees his sannyasins as the realized hope of the world. We are the ones bridging spirit and matter, East and West, money and meditation."

In a surrendered state, through my streaming tears, I feel Osho’s love, and I dance with Him, and I love through Him, and I laugh with Him, deeper and deeper into the silence. Deeper and Deeper into the Mysteries.…” – Ma Govinda Prateeksha

Osho Meditation Retreat in Chicago With Swami Arun, 25-27 June

Swami Murali and Ma Soham helped organize this beautiful Osho meditation retreat. This was Swami Arun’s third visit in Chicago area.

The camp was participated by 25 friends most of them participating in a Osho meditation retreat for the first time.


Everybody was delighted by the way Swami Arun kept the rhythm of the retreat flowing. He shared about his passion for Osho and the possibilities of commune living here in USA. “ Osho is for new man not for better man, Osho’s New Man can only materialize in a commune. If we could do that in a poor country like Nepal, then why could not be do it here in the US?” – emphasized Swami Arun.

In a lovely celebration on the second day, six friends joined Osho’s Neo-sannyas movement.

Glimpses of the retreat are available [here]. Videos will be coming up soon. A day before the retreat in Chicago, Swami Arun and friends visit New Brindaban, a ISKCON community in West Verginia. Glimpses are [here]

Glimpses of an AMAZING Osho Meditation Camp, Cobourg, Ontario (18-20 June 2010) *UPDATED*

Swami Amrito from Canada shares about how the camp went with Swami Arun.

Sw. Anand Arun once again inspires another generation of Osho lovers to keep the flame alive. With absolute passion and rebellious spirit, his vision of expanding Osho’s work continues with great delight in Canada. The Osho Meditation Camp 2010 in Cobourg, Ontario attracted 30 participants and 8 friends took the dive into sannyas. The energy took off with great stride and  continues to soothe corners of our souls–some say it cured their insomnia, others say it transformed their lives.

The space was quickly turned into an Ashram and Northumberland Heights was temporarily an Osho Commune. Glimpses of the new man were born, and a bond of humanity was built with one and other. Love and awareness were bridged, silence and dance held hands and when laughter met tears–Osho wasfelt very strongly.  The food was delicious and made with pure LOVE by the gracious host of Northumberland Heights, Meena. All meals were vegetarian and immaculately prepared for the purpose of helping those in the camp dive deeper in meditation.


The meditation camp lasted an evening and two full days–which clearly was not enough said participants. The planning for the meditation camp next year 2010 will be a minimum five days program, an insight Sw. Arun says will completely transform individuals.

“Osho is much more available NOW than he ever was in the limitations of His body” -Sw. Anand Arun

The spiritual revolution of Osho’s work in Canada has been re-inspired by Sw. Anand Arun. Such a beautiful and mystic master, Osho, has been missed for too long and the world is craving for him. Osho Madhuban has a new fire, a greater spirit and determination in bringing Osho to every nook and corner of Canada. This small taste of freedom has also sown the seed of a flowering commune soon to come like an Oasis in  this very dry desert…

New York team had been looking for a place for a three days meditation retreat to be conducted by Swami Anand Arun. The criteria was - a place with plenty of green, water, at a distance from the city, accomodation for all the participants for the whole duration of the camp. The Streling Inn in South Sterling, PA met all those criteria and the owner of the resort was also a Osho Lover.


The camp started on 11 June with about 40 participants. A whole house was converted to a mini-commune during the camp. On the first day, we started with Dynamic meditation,  followed by sharing, Nadabrahma, Kundalini and evening satsang. Swami Arun talked about the early days of Osho's work and his 40 years' struggle to establish Osho centers in Nepal. "All we need is a dedicated team that is ready to work hard. Money has never been a problem.", emphasized Swami ji. He further added, "I love to stay in Nepal and speed up the work that is happening there, but I take all the pains of travelling to USA with a hope that we will build a Osho Commune in US very soon, and I try to inspire people for dedication, hard work and trust for Osho."
