Death Park In Pokhara

- LB Thapa

The Bhagwat Gita is the source of spiritual knowledge that sheds light on several aspects of human life. In the meantime, many religious masters have spoken about the complexities of life and death. Death has always been a subject of much intriguing and highly speculative.

According to the medical science, death is the end of life but from spiritual point of view, death is the beginning of life. Perhaps Osho may be the first mystical guru of modern world who spoke at length about the complex science of death. Osho always invited people to witness the beauty of death.

“There cannot be anything as beautiful as death and therefore I teach you how to celebrate death,” said Osho during discourse.

To bring Osho’s words into life, the other day, under the initiation of Swami Anand Arun, a Death Park has been inaugurated at the Osho Upaban, Pokhara.

“It is sheer ignorance that makes people afraid of death. This is the biggest irony that no one wants to die but death is as certain as the life itself is. Even the name of death is enough to bring shivers down to the spine. However, let’s not afraid of death, let’s try to understand death. Let’s make death a celebration”, said Swami Anand Arun while speaking at the inaugural programme of Death Park.
