Show me a yoga practitioner who can do the least of JESUS miracles and i will take your response seriously.....
he laughed as he said rain, within 15 minutes from one of the longest droughts in Hopi modern times, a storm gathered only over the meeting and surrounding valleys and rained non stop until the meeting was over. The drought was broken. Both "grandfather" and the "karmapa" were seen to shed a tear each just before this event occurred.
I dont think we will meet again, but I think it will rain later
(Prof N.K. Srivastava)The scientific method of observation is limited to the objects of the senses and intellect. It is yet too imperfect to be applicable to transcendental facts. Still the miracles of a saint must be reported objective
At that time my youngest sister, Miss. Mira Srivastava (now Mrs. Sinha) had a peculiar type of facial eczema. The more it was treated the worse it became. The doctors were outwitted. We brought her to Swamiji. First he tried to put us off by suggesting the names of some big doctors in Delhi. But my mother and all my sisters who became great devotees of Swamiji afterwards fell at his feet as their last refuge. He chanted Ram Nam and gave an ointment to apply. In a few days she was radically cured. For her beauty of face and happy marriage she owes to Swamiji a debt of gratitude which neither she nor her husband nor her brothers and sisters can ever pay.

On September 13, 1952, the clothes of my wife caught fire. Her burns were of the third degree. On the 14th, I received a letter from Swamiji asking me her condition! I had not written to Swamiji since I left him in 1951! Nor had he! The doctors despaired of her life because the wounds had become terribly septic. But she got a letter of invitation from Swamiji to join the Sadhana Week in December 1952. We were fully reassured that she would not die. She is alive and kicking.

This has nothing to do with eastern or western practices. What this has to do with is, is seeking for experiences without seeking for unconditional love and understanding. There are infinite channels and its akin to standing out under the stars asking for a sign from ET, without having a real concern for the world and the suffering here, more just out of ego.
Christ himself was very connected to within, and spoke of things that hinted eastern. But he was walking in purity, and saw through the world, and selflessness, unconditional love was the example he gave. That is the connection one must find within, in order to shine the True Light into the world, and reach into more of themselves, pushing past their own limits, with Miracles and Help.
And its not exclusive, it does not exclude or judge those of another faith.
But you have no idea what kind of feelings or love these people experience. You`re applying your own perception and your own beliefs to something you have not experienced. I have had kundalini rise in me, and there are many things that happen. Some of them are outright WEIRD. But believe me, it`s part and parcel of the experience to have an INTIMATE connection with the creator. Unconditional love flows THROUGH you and can BREAK you because it FORCES you to get anything in your personality that prevents it OUT OF THE WAY. This can be traumatic, painful and scary. It`s here that you realize unconditional love is not just for other humans - it`s for plants, tables, chairs, telephones - ALL of existence. When you see it on that level - it`s almost beyond understanding. So it may LOOK impersonal to you, but that`s about the very very very last thing it is.
In May 1980, during one of Osho's discourses, an attempt on his life was made by Vilas Tupe, a young Hindu fundamentalist. Tupe claims that he undertook the attack, because he believed Osho to be an agent of the CIA.
