Osho's stint as professor and his Class & his Students

Osho got a teaching position at Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya, Raipur (Raipur Sanskrit College) in 1957. In 1960, he moved onto becoming a professor of philosophy at the University of Jabalpur. Throughout his teaching career, Osho was

respected as a brilliant and wonderful teacher. He inspired interest and a spirit of curiosity in his students and encouraged them to search for answers on their own. He was so popular that at the university, students often missed other classes to attend his lectures. As Osho describes, ‘I had only ten students in my class, but soon the vice-chancellor had to give me special permission for a bigger class because 200 students were attending who were not my students. The other teachers were angry because the students who should have been in their classes, were sitting in mine. They told me, “This is not right.” I said, “You don’t be bothered. You can also come,” and in fact a few teachers started coming too.’
