Osho leaves Nepal



Threats to arrest Osho; who leaves Nepal

On 15th February Osho leaves Nepal, stopping at Bangkok and Dubai airports, en route for Crete.

I left India and went to Nepal, because the king of Nepal was very much interested in me, in my books; the prime minister of Nepal was interested. The prime minister came to see me but he said, "It will be very difficult. Although it will be against our wishes, we cannot allow you to remain in Nepal because we are a small country and we are in constant danger from India to be taken over. They have done this in Sikkim; they can do it in Nepal, and we don't have armies or anything. We cannot even give a good fight. So the king wants to inform you: We love you, we love your teachings, but we are unable to risk the whole country." shanti12

The American government was pressurizing Nepal, the German government was pressurizing Nepal, the Indian government was pressurizing Nepal that I should not be allowed there. And when it became absolutely certain that they were going to take some steps--they could have arrested me there, they could have sent me back to India--as I was informed, I had immediately to leave. psycho23
