RAVE PARTY AND OSHO -  THE MYSTICAL GURU

 

RAVE (FULL FORM)  =  RADICAL AUDIO / VISUAL EXPERIENCE
 

 

High-energy, all-night dance parties and clubs are known as “raves,” which feature dance music with a fast, pounding beat and choreographed laser programs, have become increasingly popular over the last few decades, particularly among teenagers and young adults.

 


Rave parties—or, more simply, raves—are dance parties that feature fast-paced, repetitive electronic music and accompanying light shows. Raves are the focus of rave culture, a youth-oriented subculture that blends music, art, and social ideals (e.g., peace, love, unity, respect, tolerance and happiness).

 

In India, parties where men and women drink, consume marijuana or hashish, pop tranquilisers and dance to any kind of music is often referred to by the authorities and the press as 'rave' parties.

Why is a rave party illegal?


The rave party is a forbidden fruit.



This is due to the association of rave culture with illegal drugs such as MDMA (often referred to as a "club drug" or "party drug" along with MDA), amphetamine, LSD, GHB, ketamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, and cannabis.




FULL MOON NIGHT PARTY :









A cautious step at restarting Koh Phangan’s (Thailand) famous Full Moon Party has met with some hurdles in the interest of Covid-19 safety. The world-renowned monthly party has been on hiatus since the onset of Covid-19 with many questioning if the party, and Haad Rin, the town that hosts the massive event, will be able to bounce back after the pandemic.



Organizers decided to dip a toe in this month by hosting a small Full Moon Party on Haad Rin Beach, planned for this Saturday. After getting initial clearance from the local police last week, and a meeting with Surat Thani officials on Monday, it looked like the beach party would be allowed.

But in an announcement today, the organizers dampened the party a bit with a slew of Covid-19 safety measures and restrictions required to allow the event to take place. While safety regulation is understandable and necessary, it puts a limp in the first baby steps of the Full Moon Party and Koh Phangan’s recovery.


At the insistence of the government, organizers will be limiting the event on Haad Rin Beach Saturday to a maximum of 100 attendees and follow strict Covid-19 regulations. The event will take place between 2 pm and 10 pm to adhere to curfew rules, a far cry from the 24-hour Full Moon Party of the past.

 

                            

Rave party in Mumbai:  

 

Karjat (62  km from Mumbai city) was the venue for a Rave party.  The Raigad Police rounded up over 200 youngsters belonging to well-to-do families from Mount View Resort in Khalapur near Karjat in Maharashtra.  They were believed to be on drugs and other intoxicating substances last Sunday evening as per a report that appeared in Mumbai Mirror a leading daily Mumbai newspaper.

Also, celebrities and cricketers were amongst the people who were at a rave party busted by Mumbai Police in Juhu recently. 

 

Rave party conducted in a jungle a few kilo meters away from the busy city was also reported a few years back.

OSHO   -  THE MYSTICAL GURU :

Rajneesh also known as Acharya Rajneesh, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, 

and later as Osho was an Indian godman, mystic, and founder of

the Rajneesh movement.

 

  

                                   

                                                    

Rajneesh - A mystical guru who loved his Rolls Royces and other luxuries lived in his Koregaon Park Ashram, Pune, Maharashtra.   He also had a habitat (Ashram) at Oregon in the United States of America.  His followers largely from western countries were fascinated by the miracle man who is known as Bhagwan to his followers.  Many Bollywood celebrities also formed his fanfare in Pune ashram.  Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna was a Rajneesh disciple.

The Guru had mesmerizing eyes and his lifestyle in the ashram advocating love and sex attracted many.

 

Osho Rajneesh used sex and promiscuity to keep his cult loyal only to him. 

 

“Sex is just the beginning, not the end,” professes Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, who first achieved notoriety in India in the late sixties and early seventies when he began publicly advocating that his disciples practice free love. But what end does Rajneesh have in mind for his disciples when he incites them to sexual promiscuity?

 

According to some commentators on the subject, the real end Rajneesh seeks for his disciples in this area is most likely the loss of their ability to form stable love relationships; such relationships might jeopardize his psychological hegemony over their lives. Rajneesh’s much-vaunted ideology of sexual liberation—besides being a calculated ploy to attract followers—is a major component, if not the moor component, of his particular cult’s system of psycho-social control, say the commentators.

 

One of his followers said that there were sexually transmitted diseases in the ashram.  Many had contracted venereal diseases as a result of the free love and certain tantras.

 

Ex-disciples of Rajneesh allege that the tendency of his cult is definitely to enforce sexual participation. Ex-disciple Roselyn Smith, who went through six months of therapy groups at Rajneesh’s ashram in Pune (Poona), India, from 1980 to 1981, says that coercive psychological pressure was applied at the ashram—especially on women—to enforce participation in sexual promiscuous behavior and in the ashram’s notorious group-sex orgies.

 

The Rajneesh Ashram at Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra is now known as Osho International Meditation Resort.

Home to the Osho International Meditation Resort, affluent Koregaon Park is a trendy dining and nightlife hub, with sleek European and Indian restaurants, plus live music bars and buzzy pubs. Street stalls sell local Osho slippers, and stores offer designer fashion and home decor. A stream runs through tranquil Osho Teerth Park, and cultural venues include the Monalisa Kalagram arts space and Bliss Art Gallery.

 

 

The Rajneesh's epitaph read as Osho never born and died only visited this planet.
