Sannyas is a free Android audio player for Osho's recorded discourses — the full catalogue of Osho pravachan, in both Hindi and English, browsable the moment you open the app. Zen, Buddha, Krishna, Sufism, Tao, Kabir, Yoga and 48 other categories.
Talks run over an hour each, so it is built around what matters at that length: a sleep timer, playback speed, offline downloads, and resuming exactly where you stopped.
ओशो प्रवचन — सन्न्यास एक निःशुल्क एंड्रॉइड ऐप है, जिसमें ओशो के प्रवचन हिन्दी और अंग्रेज़ी दोनों में सुने जा सकते हैं। 176 हिन्दी शृंखलाएँ — ताओ उपनिषद, कृष्ण, प्रश्नोत्तर, एस धम्मो सनंतनो और अन्य। कोई खाता नहीं, कोई विज्ञापन नहीं। प्रवचन डाउनलोड करके बिना इंटरनेट के भी सुनें।
Grab sannyas-1.0.0.apk from the latest release and open it on your phone.
Android will ask you to allow installs from whichever app you opened it with — that's the normal one-time prompt for installing outside the Play Store.
Requires Android 7.0 or newer.

- Background playback that keeps going with the screen off, with lock-screen and notification controls
- Bluetooth, wired headsets and media buttons all handled, including pause when you unplug
- Android Auto and Assistant — browse the whole catalogue by voice or on the car screen
- Picks up where you left off, per talk, surviving restarts
- Download any talk or whole series for listening without a connection
- Downloads continue in the background and survive a reboot
- Downloaded audio is kept separate from the streaming cache, so clearing one never touches the other
Most of these run over an hour, so:
- Sleep timer — a fixed duration, or "until the end of this talk"
- Playback speed
- Skip silence
- Shuffle, repeat, and a queue you can reorder
- Search across series, talks and categories
- Browse by category — Zen, Buddha, Krishna, Sufism, Tao, Kabir, Yoga and 48 more
- Radio for when you'd rather not choose
- Favourites, playlists, bookmarks and listening history
- Switch between English and Hindi discourses at any time
- Dark and light themes, with Material You dynamic colour
- Artwork-derived colours on the player screen
- Built for screen readers throughout — proper touch targets, sensible TalkBack descriptions, and type that scales with your system font size
Nothing is collected. There is no server, no account, and no analytics or advertising code of any kind.
Favourites, history and settings live on your device and are gone when you uninstall. The only network requests the app makes are for the audio and artwork themselves, streamed on demand from oshoworld.com — so that site sees your IP address, the same way visiting any website would.

The catalogue ships inside the app as a single JSON asset, so there's no backend to run and nothing to sign up for. Audio is streamed directly from the source rather than rehosted.

Sannyas is an independent player. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to OshoWorld or Osho International Foundation.
Audio is streamed directly from the source rather than rehosted, and no discourse text is redistributed. "Sannyas" is a generic Sanskrit term, chosen deliberately so the product name carries no third-party mark. References to Osho here and in the app are descriptive — they identify whose discourses these are — not a claim of affiliation.
