Osho is a man of controversies.
There are lots of opinions about Osho.
But let me come to the point, review for the book, "The book of woman."
I would say it is the sort of book that must be read at 20’s.
When you don’t know, what is love?
When you don’t know, how to love and start trying stupid silly stuffs?
This is the sort of book that you must read before you get married.
This is the sort of book that you must read before you have kids.
This is the sort of book that you must read when you are confused whom to choose.
Of course there were parts of the book that I didn’t like,
especially the way he kept calling a particular religion s*ty and what they have done in the past is really so crappy.
Maybe what they have done is really crappy or maybe Osho is wrong and that religion is so nice but then who cares?
He could have written this book without dragging that religion in.
I felt that there were some unnecessary stuffs that Osho could have ignored,
but then in between those unnecessary stuffs comes his talks on love, sex, womanhood, motherhood and stuffs like that.
I am not gonna say what he has said in the book is the right thing.
Because I don’t think anything as right or wrong.
Right and wrong is subjective.
All I could say is, this book made me reconsider my choices.
It changed the way I have been thinking about "being woman", love and sex.
And I think the "me" after reading book is better than the "me" before reading the book.
I am very sure anyone reading this book at some point or the other would feel like,
"that is wrong, why did he write it that way, "
but then I would suggest you to go on and finish the book,
it is worth it.
This is the sort of age where you have lots of doubts about love, sex and stuff like that.
But then you wouldn’t have many to talk about it.
Maybe you might watch porn, but then porn can’t tell you about love,
it won’t help you decide what sort of person to choose.
Even if you are broad minded and have broad minded friends to talk about such stuffs.
Your friends too would be of the same age group.
They can only talk to you from their 20-21 years of experience.
But then logically only a 70-80 year old man or woman can really tell about love and sex.
Maybe take it that way.
This book might redefine your thoughts and perceptions.
This book could transform you.
Give it a try.
