“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

A Youth Workshop for ages 10-20 years
You are invited to a 2-day Youth Workshop being offered on June 19- June 21, 2020 at Osho Nirvana. This event is open to Youth of ages 10-20 years and their Parent(s).
WORKSHOP NAME: Knowing Your 3 Faces – Creating Abundance through Self-Awareness, Creativity and Innovation
WORKSHOP APPROACH: Humans have multi-dimensional capabilities: logic (mind), emotions (heart) and intuition (spirit). Honoring them and knowing how/when to tap into these dimensions, can create joy, abundance and growth inside our youth; reflecting in their leadership, creativity, and innovation brought forth to solve problems in the outside world,
Leading to development of real “Integrated Intelligence”, able to respond fully in the moment! A lens that is urgently needed to bring out the unique value humans can bring in an increasingly automated world, and to solve complex, uncertain problems of today / future especially those involving interdependencies of life-forms and ethical development of technologies (AI, Robotics etc). A whole, integrated intelligence as opposed to just the IQ or EQ! IMAGINE THE MAGIC THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN INDIVIDUALS JOIN HANDS AS TEAMS TO DO THIS!
This trailblazing workshop has a unique 3 part process (patent pending) to empower the Youth with a focus on fun, experiential learning and community!
Session #1: Know and Experience your 3 Faces
Session #2: Creativity in Action
Session #3: Innovation in Action

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.

Welcome to Shaktipat, Meditation, Satsang & Sannyas Celebration with Swami Anand Arun brought to you by Osho Tapoban, Nepal & Osho Nirvana Ashram, San Diego, USA.
Meditating in a group is a very powerful phenomenon & it enhances your ability to connect with your deeper self. This experience is even more amplified in our “Zoom” Energy Field in the presence of Bodhisattva Swami Anand Arun who has been meditating for the past 50+ years.
July 24 is Masters day, so this zoom satsang will be special. There is also an oppotunity to take sannyas, please reach out to [email protected] if you are interested.
Everyone from any walk of life is welcome to join this event.
Take the time for yourself and immerse in this 3-hour journey which will give you a spoonful taste of the “Oceanic Experience”. This monthly 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.
Satsang is a sacred gathering. It is in Satsang that our true spiritual discipline evolves.
The most anticipated part of this program is Shaktipat. Once we have had our Q&A session, meditation and there is a buildup of energy, Swami ji becomes a medium of our master to shower his loving spiritual energy to us. It is a very healing & liberating experience.
