ABOUT THE BOOK 

And Now And Here is a profound exploration of the ultimate mystery: the transition between life and death. Based on a series of discourses given by Osho, the book challenges the conventional fear of death, reframing it not as an end, but as a peak experience of life itself. Osho argues that our anxiety regarding death stems from our inability to live fully in the "here and now." By transcending the duality of "life vs. death," the reader is guided toward a state of witness-consciousness. The text includes specific insights into the process of dying, the nature of the bardo (the interval between death and rebirth), and how meditation serves as a "rehearsal" for the final departure.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Osho (1931–1990), also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, was a charismatic and controversial spiritual teacher who gained a massive global following. A former professor of philosophy, he was known for his synthesis of Western psychology and Eastern mysticism. Osho’s teachings emphasize the importance of meditation, awareness, love, and "celebration" as the core tenets of human existence. He introduced "Dynamic Meditation" and other active meditation techniques designed to release the tensions of the modern mind. Despite the controversies surrounding his communes in India and the United States, his vast body of transcribed discourses remains highly influential in the "New Age" and mindfulness movements, translated into dozens of languages.
