Krishna, the Man and His Philosophy - Osho

Krishna, the Man and His Philosophy - Osho

This is the first lengthy philosophical scripture that I read, printed over a massive length of 700 pages!

The book begins with a brief introduction about Krishna, his timeless virtues and his profound significance at present. His basis and approach towards life is what everyone of us must incorporate within ourselves to lead a cheerful yet detached life, Osho says.

Osho wants each of us to be a revolutionary, someone who goes through a sequence of sleepless nights until she or he achieves her or his goal.

Throughout the book, the author has made an approximate analysis of the personalities of Krishna, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Mahavira and even Gandhi just to make out the difference in the attitude they had towards life, so that they can be compared with that of Krishna. 

Osho says, Krishna accepted life however it came, be it war or peace, love or hate, true or false, large or small, rich or poor, and more such opposites. Osho describes Krishna as a complete man and Meera as a complete woman. He adds, Krishna wouldn't say no to anything even if it meant total destruction as was the case with the great war of Kurukshetra which established the fortress of righteousness. 

The whole content of the book is a compilation of Osho addressing a group of listeners in Manali, Uttarakhand. Henceforth, it does really attract any reader since the words in the book are exactly as spoken and are based on facts. Here and there, in the course of reading, I would mentally debate upon the content that I had just absorbed, but it would later settle down into my consciousness just as a tiny pebble settles in the great ocean.

I am in pure bliss just as Osho has urged, all the mankind to be, through the book!
