Osho is fascinated by mystical spirituality from an early age. He seeks out and questions every priest and holy man he can find, regardless of their religion. He practises every meditation technique he can discover from ancient books, including all 112 techniques from Shiva’s 2000-year-old Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. He explores the yoga meditation techniques of Patanjali. He infamously spends a moonless night in a temple known for venomous snakes, allowing them to crawl over his body.

His intense experiments with meditation culminate in an explosion of enlightenment (self-realisation) when he is 21.

He describes this experience here.
