One of the greatest philosophers our country ever produced was Rajneesh Osho, whose ideas were adopted by many, counted by few and yet others admired his oratory. Osho wrote books and gave speeches. Some of his books and commentaries on treatises including Vedic texts are outstanding. One of his well-known books is Bharava Tantra, written in six volumes, depicting the various aspects of life.
He published several other books, one called Darshan Diary, which has pieces of invaluable advice and guidance he gave in his Pune and Oreun ashram in the late 70s.
