How Did You Find Osho? 

People may imagine that meeting a spiritual master is found after deliberately searching, knowing that is the next step for a seeker of spirituality but Vishrant’s story unfolded in a far more unexpected way, shaped first by confrontation, intensity, and a life lived at the edges rather than by any conscious spiritual ambition. 

When asked how he found Osho, Vishrant does not describe himself as a seeker. In fact, when he first encountered personal development work, he was a young street fighter who had no interest in inner inquiry at all. At nineteen, his world was built around toughness, confrontation, motorbikes and fast cars. 

His girlfriend at the time had enrolled in an expensive four-day residential program, and Vishrant believed she had been ripped off. Seeing himself as a protector and enforcer, he went along with one intention only, to get the money back, even if that meant using force.

From Defiance to Exposure 

When he arrived, he made it clear he wanted a refund. The facilitators listened, then calmly suggested he do the group himself. Vishrant refused, repeating that he only wanted the money, until one simple question cut through his certainty. 

They asked him what he was frightened of. 

At that time, Vishrant saw himself as fearless, even heroic, and the idea that fear could be motivating him challenged his identity so he agreed to do the group, not out of curiosity or openness, but to prove that fear had no hold on him. 

The encounter group was intense. Participants completed psychological reports beforehand, effectively handing over the material that could be used to dismantle their self-image. Vishrant went first. The room went dark. A spotlight isolated him at the front while the group leaders focused entirely on him for twelve hours as the rest of the participants watched. 

That experience broke something open. It did not make him spiritual, but it fundamentally altered how he saw himself. The need for the street identity fell away. The studded belt and black clothes were replaced by a three-piece suit, and he went on to work for that company, selling courses and encouraging people to participate, paying forward what he had been shown about human conditioning and self-deception. 

A Life Built, Then Broken 

Almost ten years later, Vishrant’s life looked very different again. He had become an anti-drug campaigner, publishing magazines against addiction and actively positioning himself against substance abuse. From the outside, his life appeared structured and purposeful, yet beneath that surface, instability was quietly building. 

He discovered that his girlfriend was using heroin. When he asked her to leave, the situation escalated quickly. Her former husband, a heroin dealer, became involved, and the situation moved from emotional conflict into genuine physical danger. 

Local detectives in Fremantle, with whom Vishrant had a friendly relationship, warned him that there was a contract out to have his legs broken. The threat was serious. He quickly worked out where it had come from and did not wait around to see whether it would be carried out. 

Hiding Where He Never Intended to Be 

To protect himself, Vishrant went into hiding. The place he chose was the Rajneesh community, with whom he was familiar as he liked the restaurant and enjoyed their company, and mostly because it offered anonymity and safety from the people looking for him. 

While there, he joined a four-day group led by a facilitator named Indivar. During that group, something unexpected occurred. Vishrant experienced a vivid inner vision. He saw a long tunnel, like a large water pipe, and at the far end stood a small Indian man, silently beckoning him forward. 

He recognised the figure immediately as Osho. 

Vishrant does not frame this as mystical. He describes it simply as an invitation, clear and unmistakable. The following day, without drama or hesitation, he applied to take Sannyas. 

The Strange Path That Opened Everything 

With that step, Vishrant exchanged his three-piece suit for a mala and red clothes, not as an act of devotion at that stage but as a natural response to something that had already shifted within him. There was no sense of seeking a master. There was only a willingness to respond when the moment arrived. 

When asked how he found Osho, Vishrant often shares this story to highlight something essential. Awakening does not arrive through the path the mind plans. It does not require purity, readiness, or spiritual ambition. In his case, it arrived through confrontation, self-protection, practicality, and an unexpected moment of clarity that needed no argument or persuasion. 

It simply invited. 

And that invitation was enough. 

The Invitation awaits

Satsang is not a teaching in the usual sense.
It is a space to sit with what is already here – without needing to fix, improve, or perform.
An opportunity to meet reality directly.

There is no requirement to arrive as a seeker, or as anything at all.
Only a willingness to be present.

Sit in Satsang with Vishrant and allow this openness to be supported within the buddha field, through presence and truth.
