The Laughing Swamis - Australian Sannyasin Disciples of Swami Satyananda Saraswati and Osho Rajneesh (Paperback)

The book provides a careful study of both Indian concepts and practices of renunciation and of the Western "Counter Culture" of the sixties which formed an integral part of the background of these seekers. The teaching of Satyananda and Rajneesh on renunciation are analysed in depth. Finally, the major part of the book is devoted to a description of the lives and experiences of the renunciates themselves.
