Towards the end of December, 1989, in Pune Two, Osho choose to mention at the commencement of one of the evening meetings in Buddha Hall, that he was being attacked by inaudible sound waves, sound waves beyond the normal range of human hearing, which were aiming to damage him.
The effect on the sangha was one of stunned astonishment. At that time the habit was for much dancing and celebration preparing the sangha for Osho’s entry. But this was a real shock when he spoke such things. His face, seemed very strict, and he cast his eyes towards the right side of the sangha where hundreds of people were gathered.
He stated to the white robed gathering that there was a very small group of people, probably three, who were using sound to harm him. Some thought this whole business a device, others, the majority, were not so sure.
On the following evening Osho asked those on the right side of Buddha Hall to swap places with those on the left.
He declared that his esoteric power was equal to the sound waves and he could reflect it back on the persons concerned, but he would not do so as his principles of non violence were unmoveable – even if it meant his own bodily death.
Over the next days much paranoia invaded the sangha, and many searches were made to try and find the source materials of such attacks without success.
According to Shunyo his then caretaker the attacks continued for many days, but Osho choose not to mention them again as it was giving such bewilderment and sadness to his sannyasins.
Osho left his body on January 19th less than a month later.
