Osho Tapoban is an international commune
that stood up by the effort of Swami
Anand Arun, an intimate disciple of Osho
and coordinator of Osho Tapoban and Osho
lovers / sannyasins.
Osho had a desire to live in the
Himalayas during last days of His life.
But due to certain unavoidable
circumstances this could not happen.
During His visit to Nepal He had
directed Swami Arun to build a commune
which would be just outside the city and
not too far away and not too close
either, easily accessible to the seekers
and could accommodate 100 people for
camps and a hall that could accommodate
200+ people for meditation.
Swami Arun and friends were desperately
searching for such a place in Kathmandu.
They viewed many places outside valley,
but were still unsatisfied. Then finally
they came across the hills of Nagarjuna
forest, where Buddhist saint Nagarjuna
had meditated and attained ultimate
enlightenment.
This was the place where Osho Tapoban
came to be in existence. With the
undying efforts of Sw. Arun and Osho
lovers in Nepal, Osho Tapoban laid its
foundation and hence a commune
flourished under the guidance of Osho.
Osho Tapoban is a trust, registered
under the rules of the Government of
Nepal on 1990.
Since then Osho Tapoban has been
developing day by day with its varieties
of activities. Now Osho Tapoban has
common rooms, dormitories, deluxe rooms
that can easily accommodate 100 people
for Meditation Camps, a beautiful
Meditation Hall to accommodate 200
people for meditation and 500 for
discourses. We have our own Sujata
kitchen which serves hygienic vegetarian
food for the people staying and visiting
Tapoban. A beautiful sculpture garden
has also been set up.
The grand place to be at Osho Tapoban is
The OSHO SAMADHI, were the sacred
remains of Osho's body have been kept.
Besides the scenic beauty all the year
round one can feel the energy and the
vibe of Osho every where at Osho Tapoban.
Tapoban is being popular among Osho
Lovers and the visitors from Nepal and
other countries too.
Osho Tapoban is the place to be, the
place where one can get inner peace,
explore yourself in a meditative
environment and a place that will remain
in your heart for ever and you won't
afford to miss this place.
Love is not enough, awareness is needed.
If love is there without awareness it
becomes imprisonment and if love is
there with awareness it becomes a
freedom.
