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' belief that he was God and the reality that he was banned from 21 countries and required visas. Naik uses this to argue that a true almighty God would not need visas or face expulsion from nations.
Summary
In this short clip, Dr. Zakir Naik presents a critical analysis of the claims surrounding Osho, also known as Rajneesh, who his followers regarded as a divine or God-like figure. Naik sets up the argument by referencing 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 — framing him essentially as a manifestation of God visiting the planet.
Naik then highlights what he sees as a glaring logical contradiction: if Osho was truly almighty God, why would he require a visa to enter countries? Naik points out that Osho was denied entry into 21 countries of the world, was reportedly slow-poisoned, and was kicked out of the United States in 1985, after which he relocated to Pune, India, to establish the Osho Commune. Naik uses the relatable contrast — 'You and I require a visa, almighty God also requires a visa?' — to underscore the absurdity of the divine claim.
Further illustrating the point, Naik references the Archbishop of Greece, who allegedly threatened to burn Osho's house and the houses of his disciples if he was not removed from the country. Naik uses all of these facts to argue that the divinity attributed to Osho is fundamentally incompatible with the earthly limitations and political rejections he faced during his lifetime.
