Abstract [English]

Rajneesh, also famously known as Osho has been prominent for the works in Hindi literature as a philosopher and spiritual leader. This review paper aims not only at demonstrating the extent of his literary output in detail but also in unravelling how he managed to fuse Hindu philosophies with secular philosophies of the twentieth century and how his literary work brought his ideas to masses and made philosophy cool through incorporating flavours of Hindi language. The critiques of societal norms, the focus on self- creation and awareness, on meditation, and freedom of consciousness were strictly stand out from typical spirituality books. His employing distinct mode of writing, variety in themes and the impact that his work holds even now are some of the points that identified his contribution
