What is Oshodhara and what is LIMASS(Lessons In Meditation and Spiritual Sciences)? How it is different from other sects?
Oshodhara is the live stream of masters and disciples, originating from our beloved master OSHO. The main difference is that we are not against the worldly life. Osho's teachings are Life-Affirmative. We are open and receptive for new advancements and technologies in developing human consciousness. Meditation is not new but methodology shall change with time. Journey is not a new phenomenon but vehicles keep on changing. For modern society, Oshodhara has updated & improved the practical teachings of spiritualism. Keeping In the view fast moving scenario of the present life, it is recognized that people don't have enough time for long and complicated practices. Our beloved master OSHO devised simple but effective meditation methods, which can help any person to become calm & quite within few minutes. One will be surprised to know that One week is enough to realize the godliness within oneself.
After conducting many successful camps in which over 400 people attained enlightenment we realized that everyone should get the opportunity to learn and benefit from the gems of knowledge imparted by Osho. Keeping this in mind we created an online e-learning portal www.spiritualuniv.org through which we conduct LIMASS, a 10 level programme leading to enlightenment. LIMASS stands for Lessons In Meditation and Spiritual Sciences in which we make extensive use of technology to ensure that the online learning experience is the same as it would be in Oshodhara ashrams.

What do you mean by realizing the godliness within oneself?
The godliness is omnipresent, that means God is present like soundless sound of Om, everywhere, including inside us as well. That great music of Om can be heard in deep meditation called Samadhi. This realization can be achieved in three steps very easily. In first part of LIMASS, we teach the art of blissful living, based on Lord Buddha's eight fold paths. You can make your life happy and loving by improving relationships. Having a right paradigm you can be joyous. In second part we teach the essence of Yoga, the science of self-awareness and in third part the art of listening to the omnipresent music within ourselves. Once it is heard, Great peace descends. That is the meaning of Hindu mantra Om Shatih, Shatih, Shatih. The person does not remain the same person. Gradually seeker becomes identified with the Divine. Inner transformation takes place. Upanishads say that one who knows BRAHMA becomes BRAHMA.

The methodology followed at Spiritual University is different form the conventional e-learning methodologies. In conventional e-leaning courses usually you are given some text material to read which you do at your own pace. In all our courses you interact with learned masters on a continuous basis using modern technologies (see “How it Works” for more details) till the time you feel that you have mastered the concepts of the course. The audio/video interaction and the personalized guidance from the master continue till the time you feel fully satisfied that you have truly mastered the concepts.
You conduct a 11-level programme called LIMASS leading to possible enlightenment. Is it that simple and easy? Can you get enlightenment like you study towards a degree?
Many people think that way. They are justified because this rarely happened in human history. But under the guidance of the enlightened masters of Oshodhara over 400 people have experienced enlightenment. Enlightenment is not that difficult. In fact, enlightenment is not an achievement—it is only a discovery of our inner self. It is only a journey from outer to inner space, from thinking to pure awareness, from part to whole, from time to timelessness.
What is Samadhi? Why do we need Samadhi? Is meditation not enough?
The journey of discovering one’s inner self starts with meditation but final destination is the attainment of Nirvana. Samadhi helps you to walk this journey in a systematic and scientific way. You first walk as an observer. Then walk as witness. Then god's grace showers upon you & you know God. Then you start drowning in the remembrance of God. Every step keeps on bringing closer to god. Then a time comes when God starts coming towards you. This is named as Samadhi. In this state the matter becomes self centered. Initially it is other centered, your consciousness goes towards the master. Now your consciousness starts going towards the God. Then a self centered direction is there. Then you start feeling the vibes of the masters grace, then you start feeling the grace of god. Then the matter becomes self centered. But a moment comes when this consciousness becomes anagami. Neither does your consciousness goes away from you & nor do you feel the vibes of remembrance of master or God, the vibes of their grace coming towards you. You just watch that all things have become still. A rest is there. You are exactly that. To which saints have addressed as Anahad mein vishram. It is named as Nirvana & this is the destination of every spiritual seeker. On that day consider that the journey According to Osho Siddhartha - “Halting at meditation is like stopping after tilling the farm. Samadhi is like sowing the seed and enlightenment is reaping the benefits of harvesting”.
What is Essence of Osho's teachings and his message for all the disciples and seekers of the truth?
Osho's vast teachings can be formulated as "Zorba the Buddha" where Zorba represents the materialistic and scientific attitude, wealthy comfortable life, loving relations, and enjoyments; while Buddha reminds of esoteric, spiritual, inner treasure achieved by wisdom, meditation and Samadhi, ultimately leading to enlightenment and beyond. In the past, humanity was split into worldly and other-worldly people. Osho does not divide Inner & Outer as opposite to each other. They are not contradictory but complementary according to his vision. This is one of the basic revolutionary ideas brought by him. About 5000 spontaneous discourses delivered by Osho are published in 650 books, translated in 50 languages of the world.
Is not reading books by the religious masters and Holy Scriptures enough? Why meditations are necessary?
Can one get healthy by studying medical literature or get nutrition by reading cookery books! Why medications and foods are necessary? Can one reach to his destination just by reading Railway Time Table or is it necessary to catch the train and travel too? Of course scriptures are useful, but not sufficient; necessary but not enough. Many people get lost into the jungle of words, principles, doctrines, philosophies and miss the target. So-called bookish-knowledge may prove dangerous if used unwisely, it may become the greatest obstacle in the way of authentic self-knowledge. Spiritualism is neither new nor old, it is eternal. In the past, real spiritualism was confined within the boundaries of ashrams, monasteries and Himalayan caves. Very few disciples used to get the opportunity to learn the techniques of meditation from true Masters. Most of the undeveloped humanity at large was completely unaware of real spiritual practices. They remained occupied with the organized religions only. Now those days are out of date. Humanity has become matured. At present so called religions could only satisfy the childish mentality.
