Krishna, Whitman, Nietzsche, Sartre (KWNS)
Essays in Applied Mysticism
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later known as Osho) often speculated on how great Western thinkers such as Nietzsche might have developed if they had lived in an Eastern intellectual and spiritual environment. This was part of the inspiration for KWNS, which started as a PhD proposal put to SOAS (the School of Oriental and African Studies in London) and to Heythrop (a Jesuit college). Although the proposal led to some interesting debates, particularly with Professor Piatagorsky at SOAS, I decided in the end just to write the book, and to study a taught Masters in Mysticism and Religious Experience at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
