India is a divine land on whose soil many enlightened souls walked. No other country in the world is blessed with these many numbers of saints born on its lap. Indians are blessed with the birth of such a divine soul known to us Osho and his teachings over the 20th century.

The life story of Osho is a complex one, for the outsiders of his gathering. In a country, where there are many living Gods are making a controversy on one or the other day, Osho also has been viewed in not so good colours by many Indians. There are many controversies and rumours looming over his teachings and here is an answer for those who want to know more about the greatest Guru.

Vasant Joshi"s new book Osho: The Luminous Rebel, Life Story Of a Maverick Mystic is a biography of the great Guru of India. Did Osho create a cult? Do Osho"s teachings promote free sex and anarchy? Do the foreigners visiting Osho"s ashram in India are a threat for the country? How was the origin of Rajaneeshpuram? Why did Osho appear in exquisite costumes and called himself as 'Bhagawan"? What is the meaning of 'Osho"? Was Osho actually killed by the American Government? What was his attitude to Americans by the end of his life? The common man"s questions are answered here.

There is some other questions rise in the minds of seekers too. How Osho attained enlightenment? What is the path he shows to his followers to attain enlightenment? Is he 'Buddha"s rebirth? The adequacy of silence and attainment with the master is one of the much sought practices of Osho.

Osho is the only saint who had incorporated the modern technology to show the path of enlightenment. He seemed to be rebellious, whereas there were many deep rooted teachings under each of his actions. This book is definitely an eye opener for those who seek Osho. As the author aptly put at the end of the book, “...for anyone who is interested, the door is permanently open." This book will definitely be an indicator to open that door.
