What’s In My Reading List : 8

When it comes to Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, I have deep gratitude for it. The actual Vigyan Bhairav is just a small booklet containing 112 Sanskrit verses taught by our eternal Lord Shiva to Maa Parwati. Sadhguru says there are 112 different ways to get enlightened, and in Vigyan Bhairav, Shiva told all of them.

But the actual verses are not handy, and one simply can’t understand them of their own, and if someone tries then the only thing that will happen is a misunderstanding. So Osho’s amazing commentary on these verses really becomes of immense value to read and understand and to practice them. As for each technique, Osho points out step by step guide to practice them, I have read some of its parts by the look inside feature in amazon. Here is what Osho said in this book :

“These techniques will not mention any religious ritual. No temple is needed, you are quite enough of a temple yourself. You are the lab; the whole experiment is to go on within you. This is not religion, this is science. No belief is needed. Only a daringness to experiment is enough; courage to experiment is enough.

These 112 methods are for the whole of humanity-for all the ages that have passed, and for all the ages that have yet to come. I will go on describing each method from as many angles as possible. If you feel any affinity with it, play with it for three days. If you feel that it fits, that something clicks in you, continue it for three months.

Life is a miracle. If you have not known its mystery, that only shows that you do not know the technique for how to approach it.”

―Osho

This is really a giant book of 1300 pages and I will absolutely love to read it. The e-book version of this book is freely available on osho.com but I really liked the look of the hardcover version of it available on Amazon for Rs 1,700 and I will go and make the purchase from my os karma earnings, I have collected more than Rs 2,000 until now😊.
