Book Reviews of The Promise of Paradise: A Woman's Intimate Story the Perils of Life With Rajneesh

Book Review: Intimately interesting
Summary: 5 Stars

It is sad that the writer has not really learnt any lasting lessons from Rajneesh, viz, unconditional love for yourself and others, joyful surrender to existence at every moment, the concept of no mind which is the soul of meditation, etc., etc..
But this book hopefully will motivate you to read some of Rajneesh's books, especilly the five volumes of "The Book of the Secrets".

From what I glean from Satya's book, it seems that Rajneesh himself didn't practise what he so admirably preached. Perhaps he didn't realize that his ambition to promote his ideas through a group of people unfit to fathom the true meanings of Tantra, Tao and zen had stood in his way of dismantling completely the commune he helped to build. He perhaps wished for a large number of Bodhisatvas which he obviously didn't get.

But I am deeply grateful for Rajneesh for giving me great insight into who I am really. Love and best wishes to all of you.
