God does not Need Visas to Visit Countries - Dr Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik critiques the claims made about Osho (Rajneesh), pointing out the contradiction between his followers' assertion that he was 'almighty God' and the fact that he was denied visas by 21 countries and threatened with expulsion. Naik uses this as an argument against Osho's divine status, suggesting that a true God would not need visas or face political persecution.
Summary
In this short clip, Dr. Zakir Naik presents a pointed critique of the spiritual claims surrounding Osho, also known as Rajneesh. He recounts how Osho was allegedly slow-poisoned, expelled from a country in 1985, and eventually returned to India, establishing his commune in Pune, Maharashtra.
Naik draws attention to the inscription on Osho's samadhi (memorial), which states that Osho 'never born, never died, but visited the earth' from December 11, 1931 to January 19, 1990. He treats this language — particularly the phrase 'visited the earth' — as an implicit claim to divine or supernatural status.
Naik then uses irony and logic to challenge this claim: if Osho was truly 'almighty God,' why was he denied visas to 21 countries? He argues that ordinary humans require visas, and it would be absurd and contradictory for an omnipotent God to be subject to the same bureaucratic and political restrictions. He further highlights that the Archbishop of Greece threatened to burn Osho's house and those of his disciples if he was not removed from the country, further undermining the claim of divine status.
Key Insights
- Dr. Zakir Naik highlights that Osho's samadhi inscription uses the phrase 'visited the earth,' implying a divine or transcendent existence, which he treats as an implicit claim that Osho was God or a godlike being.
- Naik argues that Osho being denied visas to 21 countries directly contradicts the claim of him being 'almighty God,' since a truly omnipotent God would not be subject to human immigration laws.

- Naik recounts that Osho was allegedly slow-poisoned and kicked out of a country in 1985, using these events as evidence that he was not protected by divine power.
- Naik references the Archbishop of Greece threatening to burn Osho's house and his disciples' homes if he was not removed, presenting this as further proof that Osho lacked divine authority or protection.
