My best spiritual guru is Osho.Bcoz he use to talk about every known religion.Also at the same time he use to critise those religion.

Osho was a self-realised man of amazing brilliance. We, mere mortals, ought not to make the mistake of comparing Gurus. Each teaches the truth in his or own unique way. We only need to pursue the Guru we are most comfortable with.
