PUNE, Oct 15: A copy of Osho8217;s commentaries on Tantra Sutra, titled The Book of the Secrets, will be received by US President Bill Clinton in the White House within a few days. The book is being sent by Swami Chaitanya Keerti, spokesperson for Osho Commune International here, to fulfill his promise of presenting the book to Clinton.

8220;Now that Clinton has cancelled his visit to India, I cannot present the book to him personally, as I had intended,8221; said Swami Keerti. 8220;But, as we can all see from the unfolding Lewinsky Affair and impeachment proceedings in Congress, Clinton needs this book now more than ever. So I am mailing it to him8221;.

In April, Swami Keerti had announced his intention to present the book following an incident in Santiago, Chile, where Clinton was jokingly presented with a copy of the Kama Sutra by a journalist.

8220;Clinton needs the Tantra Sutra because it helps individuals to transfer sexual energy to higher levels of consciousness,8221; said Swami Keerti. 8220;Clinton has publicly repented for his misdeeds and is seeking counsel from priests, but this will not help because the underlying issue of suppressed sexual energy is neither understood nor addressed.

8220;All major religions have been teaching the suppression of sexual energy for centuries and what is the result,8221; he asked. 8220;We are living in a society that is totally obsessed with sex. One can see that Kenneth Starr, the US Congress and the US public are as preoccupied with sex as Clinton himself 8212; they have turned the whole thing into an endless soap opera8221;.

The Book of the Secrets was published earlier this year in the USA by St. Martins Press, New York. It contains the 112 techniques of meditation conveyed by Shiv to Parvati.
