Highly recommended to all who have an open mind and thirst for more knowledge. In short, Krishna: the man and his philosophy by Osho is a mindbending experience! I express my gratitude to my friend who gifted me this book last year on my birthday. So non-attachment of Krishna is not about denial but of transcendence. Firstly, his uniqueness lies in the fact that although Krishna happened in the ancient past he belongs to the future, is really of the future. Thus sometimes, denial brings suffering more than attachment does(even Freud’s psychology agrees with this). Krishna is utterly incomparable, he is so unique. So in a way, that man is attached to sex(addiction and denial become two sides of the same coin). He must fight his senses, his thoughts, his biological feelings about sex. If a voluptuous woman sits near him, he is perturbed. But denial can be as dangerous as addiction. Now the world will see him as someone nonattached to sex/women. Suppose an ordinary man decides to become a celibate monk. For example, Krishna’s philosophy of non-attachment. There are numerous thought-provoking moments. Almost all answers evoke from a fresh perspective, free from religious prejudice, and show the way it really is.

Questions(which I had in my mind) such as:ġ) Krishna preaches about love/forgiveness but fought wars. The questions about Krishna’s life – the most paradoxical and controversial one – is answered by Osho in such a way that it satiates the logical mind. Instead, this book answers a plethora of questions which mainly revolves around the life of Krishna. 688 pages of pure wisdom that has the power to transcend lives! This is not a book that blindly glorifies anyone. 63 Another source for love lyrics is the long Hindu tradition of poetry about the amours of Krishna, Radha, and the gopis, as referenced in films such as.
