From Ma Sundara Nataraj:

             "The book that introduced me and has a special place for me is the Mustard Seed.My dear friends lent it to me many years ago and Im greatful for it! It was my first Osho book and it has changed my life..."

              There is so many Osho meditations and in different periods of my life certain meditations was enjoyed. But i would like to mention one witch is really great meditation and that was the last active one I was doing and enjoying together with my partner, Mandala meditation.It is at first "hard work" and you want to quit after tree minutes of doing it but if you continue ,after few days or a week its more than worth it! ;)"

Love

From Sw. Prem Sakal:

1) "The Supreme Understanding", because it was the first one I really read.
2) "The Book of the Secrets" because of all the meditations, stupid.
3) "The Wisdom of the Sands" because it's got "The Man With The Inexplicable Life" and I was there and he kept looking at me in a kind of meaningless way and he was right again.
4) "The Divine Melody" and "The Tantra Vision" because they have got all this stuff about love and chakras.
5) "The Beloved" At first it was great stuff. Then it was really boring. Then I realised that was because I'd actually lived it.

From Kranthi Ransu:

"I got to know about Osho through another Sanyas, later he passed me some book. I started reading 2 books in parallel Sex to Superconscious and religious man and politicians, both the books where in regional language and it was excellent. I love Cup of Tea, Yahoo the Mystic Rose, Come Come yet again come. In-fact i love reading lot of Osho’s books. All are beauty on their own. Now studying The Psychology of the Esoteric book."
Thanks

From Sw. Deva Kusuma:

          Hard to pinpoint a certain book that would be my favourite as I tend to jump in and out of them all, all of the time. I have the attention span of a gnat in that respect. Someone did gift me a copy of Tao: The Pathless Path. It always reminded me how the catalyst for me discovering Osho was when a Sannyasin found me reading the Tao Te Ching in a shop i worked in at the time. From that came the dialogue that brought me where I am today as far as my spiritual awareness is concerned.
          I have a copy of Compassion: The Ultimate Flowering of Love loitering around on my desk at the moment (another gift incidently). Its a great one to delve into when you have those dark days when you find it really hard to love yourself. People tend to think of compassion as only an outgoing force. But you need some considerable loving compassion before you can even start to love another.
But really, not sure i've read a bad Osho book. Can you really go far wrong?

From Sw. Prem Bodhi:


          My favourite book would have to be "The Path of Love" it really opened up a new world for me and was the first time I got that feeling of home whilst reading it. Other books I enjoyed were "when the shoe fits", "The Tantra Vision" and "The Mustard Seed" also "Unio Mystica" but I still haven't finished that one.
         For a meditation it seems to have depended on the time in my life. Right now Gourishankar seems to fit the best, but Mandala and Kundalini are two I have also done alot of with great enjoyment.
