Event Calendar

Join us for a full day of meditation and celebration on the occasion of Buddha Purnima.

Purnima means full moon in Sanskrit.  Osho always told us that it is easier to meditate and to be enlightened on a full moon.  Beloved Buddha was born on the full moon, was enlightened on the full moon, and died on the full moon.  This is a very auspicious sacred day. 

“I love the Gautam Buddha as I have loved nobody else. I have been speaking on him throughout my whole life. Even speaking on others I have been speaking on him. Take note of it, it is a confession. I cannot speak on Jesus without bringing Buddha in; I cannot speak on Mohammed without bringing Buddha in. Whether I mention him directly or not that’s another matter. It is really impossible for me to speak without bringing Buddha in. He is my very blood, my bones, my very marrow. He is my silence, also my song “- OSHO

Buddha Purnima is a festival that marks Gautama Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and death. It falls on the day of the full moon in May.

We will enjoy several Osho Meditations and a special Laughing Meditation with Ma Sarito Sun.  Sarito is the Laughologist for the Deepak Chopra Center.  She is a pioneer and trailblazer who brought the International Laughter Movement to San Diego in 2003.

Group meditations create a vibrant energy field.  When we come together to meditate and celebrate, there is higher energy created, we feel the presence, and we open to receive the amazing blessings and grace.

No prior meditation experience is needed.  We will introduce the meditations and you can enjoy the whole day at your own pace.   All that is needed is an open heart ready to explore, learn and relax into your own being.

Come to Osho Nirvana and give yourself a good time.

We are delighted to welcome you to a 3-day summer residential meditation retreat with Swami Anand Arun during the July 4th long weekend

Swami Arun is one of the first Osho sannyasins and received much guidance directly from Osho. A meditation retreat with him is a wonderful opportunity for everyone interested in Osho and his meditations.

Swami Arun will be traveling all the way from Kathmandu(Nepal) to inspire and guide seekers in the path of meditations. Swami ji is one of Osho’s intimate disciples and has initiated almost 100,000 into Osho’s Neo Sannyas (Disciplehood). We are fortunate that he has accepted our invitation to conduct this 3-day transforming retreat. We encourage you to take advantage of this rare opportunity!

This meditation retreat is open to all seekers of all level of meditation experience; from beginners to seasoned sannyasins who would like to experience more of Osho and meditations.

There will be an opportunity to take Sannyas (Initiation) and become Osho’s Disciple for new seekers.

During our previous retreat with Swami Arun, we had a large number of seekers participating. All of them still feel the joy and bliss and want to re-live the experience.

“And I can promise you one thing: if you hunt for me, you will find me.in every star and in every eye.because if you have really loved a master, you have moved into eternity with him. The relationship is not of time, it is timeless.

There is going to be no death. My body will disappear, your body will disappear – that will not make any change. If the disappearance of the body makes any change, that simply shows that love had not happened.” – OSHO

Osho Heart of Relating
Feb 14 – 16, 2020 Hosted by Osho Nirvana Friends

During the Osho Heart of Relating Retreat, you will learn how to use Osho’s essential keys for inner transformation so that conscious relationships can evolve to support the celebration of life.

“The whole yoga, the whole tantra, the alchemy, the whole process of religion, is how to create an orgasm, a deep intercourse between the polarities within you. And when they meet within you a new type of being is born, a new life becomes alive. If you are a man, then your conscious is masculine and your unconscious is feminine. If you are a woman your conscious is feminine and your unconscious is masculine. Your conscious and unconscious must meet so that a new birth becomes possible.  – Osho “The Supreme Doctrine”

“Seek ye first the end – end means the effect, the result – and the cause will follow. This is as it should be. It is not only that you place a seed in the soil and the tree follows; let there be a tree and there are millions of seeds. If cause is followed by effect, effect is again followed by cause. This is the chain! Then it becomes a circle – start from anywhere, create the cause or create the effect.

And I tell you it is easier to create the effect because the effect depends totally upon you; the cause may not be so dependent on you. If I say I can only be happy when a certain friend is there, then it depends on a certain friend, whether he is there or not. If I say I cannot be happy until I attain this much wealth, then it depends on the whole world and the economic situations and everything. It may not happen, and then I cannot be happy.

Cause is beyond me. Effect is within me. Cause is in the surroundings, in the situations – cause is without. EFFECT IS ME! If I can create the effect, the cause will follow. Choose happiness – that means you are choosing the effect – and then see what happens. Choose ecstasy and see what happens. Choose to be blissful and see what happens. Your whole life will change immediately and you will see miracles happening around you – because now you have created the effect and causes will have to follow.

This will look magical; you can even call it the law of magic. The first is the law of science and the second is the law of magic. Religion is magic, and you can be the magician. That’s what I teach you: to be the magician, to know the secret of magic. Create the effect and see what happens; causes immediately surround you, they follow. ”

Osho – “My Way: The Way of the White Clouds”, Discourse 3

Happy Guru Purnima / Masters Day

Guru Purnima (Masters Day) is celebrated by the disciples or shishyas, expressing their gratitude to their ‘GURU’ – the Master

We at Osho Nirvana, heartily invite you to the Guru Purnima weekend event at Osho Nirvana Ashram. We will start this weekend retreat with Kundalini Meditation on Friday, July 23rd and end with a 3-hr Zoom session with Swami Anand Arun from Tapoban, Nepal on Sunday, July 25th. This event is designed to introduce new friends to Osho as well as help seasoned meditators, sannyasins & Osho lovers to connect with the Master’s energy field.

We will practice various Osho Meditations, celebrate Guru Purnima  and participate in  “Shaktipat, Satsang & Celebration” with Swami Anand Arun on Sunday, July 25th. 

This satsang will be a special masters day satsang. Don’t miss!

A guru is the one who liberates us and with whom we are in deep love, faith and reverence. A guru is a presence. Through him one gets the first glimpse of divinity. A guru creates, transforms and gives a new birth to a seeker so that with complete trust one can follow his guru while traveling through many unknown paths and doors and opening many unknown locks. Speaking on the significance of a guru, A guru’s blessing is a vital phenomenon. Through a guru one can look into his own future and can be aware of his own destiny. Through him one starts coming up like a seed trying to sprout towards the sky. -OSHO
