At age twenty-two, he met a Sufi Master and found something deeper in this spiritual aspect of Islam. He was initiated into the Naqshbandi Sufi path where he spent the next fifteen years of his life. He eventually became an Imam and a religious teacher, believing this was the way to enlightenment.  At age twenty-six, Saraha married a Muslim woman and tried his best to follow a life of faith and monogamy, but this meant denying himself of his intellectual and sexual exploration. His attempts to repress the fire burning within him failed and he resorted to fantasy and pornography as an outlet for his inner turmoil and sexual frustration. This period of inner struggle lasted into his thirties until a chance meeting in a bookshop led him to the words of the Indian Mystic Osho. He began to study Osho’s books and came across the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This was a seminal moment in Saraha’s life as he began to realise how his religious life had taken him into a path of repression, frustration and addiction. From that moment his life took a different course. Realising that his feelings and desires were completely normal and natural, not shameful, or sinful, he saw a new possibility for his life. He decided to explore Osho’s teachings more deeply and within a year he visited his Ashram in Pune India. For the first time in his life, Saraha felt he was home. For the first time, he felt that who he was inside was accepted and validated. He began to do the daily active meditations devised by Osho and started to feel joy and freedom he had never experienced before.
