	Religious Movements Homepage: Osho (or Rajneeshism)
		Rajneesh was born and grew up in Kuchwada in central India; he was a well-read youth but went through a period of rebellion upon the death of his grandfather.
		Rajneesh had in mind for the new commune a more truly communal atmosphere where men and women would only stay together as long as they loved each other and the institution of marriage was de-emphasized.
		Bhagwan was not, however, an innocent bystander, as he was well aware of many of her activities and even advised and instructed her in several of her efforts (Fitzgerald, 1986b: 113).

	Osho,Bhagwan Rajneesh, and the Lost Truth
		Rajneesh miraculously had the ability to leave his body at will through astral projection, but when he was in his physical body he was quite ordinarily human and unable to tolerate the devastating effects of massive doses of tranquilizers.
		Bhagwan never understood this truth of history and referred to democracy scornfully as "mob-ocracy." Rajneesh was an imperial aristocrat, never a generous and open minded democrat, and he put his contempt for the democratic process into highly visible action in Oregon.
		Rajneesh often asked women half his age to strip in front of him so that he could "feel their chakras." To facilitate this practice, he installed an electric lock on his bedroom door that could be activated from his famous high-backed chair by his desk, where he spent most of his time.

		Rajneesh was born Rajneesh Chandra Mohan in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, India in 1931 in a Jain family.

	The Watchman Expositor: Guru Rajneesh Dead at 58
		Rajneesh captured the nation's attention in 1981 when he moved his ashram community and 93 Rolls-Royces to Antelope, Oregon and advocated "enlightenment" through sexual promiscuity.
		Oregonians were concerned when Rajneesh's followers, who outnumbered the permanent residents of Antelope, took over the small town changing its name to "City of Rajneesh."

	OSHO - Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh - Acharya Rajneesh
		Bhagwan was the Master who would not give solutions, but simply provide a space to let go of the madness caused by living a life where the body, mind, being and soul were not connected.
		Bhagwan was expelled from the United States on the grounds of corrupting young people.
		In 1989, he announced from his ashram that he didn't want to be called Bhagwan Shree, which invoked the meaning of "God." His disciples, or sannyassins, "ones who have renounced the world," decided to call him Osho, which comes from the root "oceanic"; and means dissolved into the ocean.

		She dyed all her clothes in the bath, then hung them by the fire to dry—to my delight, they left permanent orange stains on the fireguards—and she and her new friends began to hold meetings in our living room, from some of which I was carefully excluded.
		Bhagwan, who was never there but always there: in his books and tapes; in the songs we sang—'Disappearing into you, oh Bhagwan, the sun and the moon...'—wrought in miniature round all our necks; writ large, too, on the walls above our heads, in the laminate photos that were sometimes six feet wide.
		Bhagwan always said his adult sannyasins were beyond help: they were too far gone to understand what he had to say.

	Witnessing Consciousness Mindfulness Meditation Osho Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
		Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh alias Osho is the half best knower of the Witnessing and Consciousness.
		Shree Rajneesh teaches only the witness and the existential attitude, the rest is mainly demonic teaching; including the attitude of the witness, as he teaches it as a whole attitude to be taken and that happens to be destructive; as in reality there is no witness attitude, no witness philosophy.
		Dhyana awakening, Dhyana-mindfulness meditation, together with Dharma awakening, and the knowledge of the laws of Karma (memory and a/dharma), and Kundalini awakening, and the basic knowledge of Sahaja Yoga, form the foundation.

		Rajneesh, as Guest notes, assigned most of the top jobs in his movement to women, believing them more trustworthy and less corruptible.
		To her, Rajneesh's fleet of Rolls-Royces, his Uzi-toting bodyguards and his hordes of upper-class menial laborers encapsulated a decade when counterculture idealism collapsed before militarism and materialism.

		From the early 1970's and now calling himself Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, these were the good times.
		In 1981 and searching for a more tolerant attitude, the Bhagwan chose Oregon in America to set up his largest ashram and to try and accommodated his vast collection of all those useless material contributions.
		But human nature being what it is, Rajneesh Meditation will continue to attract the very small minority who turn up, tune in and willingly exchange their worldly goods for heavenly expectation.

		BSR was a controversial figure but I would be interested in sources which might report his early years (say, 1963-1970) objectively without taking a particular stance for or against Rajneesh.
		The early years interest me because this was the period when Bhagwan was just beginning to issue his invitation to meditation, while he was "going to the people" -- before he went the route of sannyas and ashram, with all of their attendant difficulties.
		Certainly "the movement", and Bhagwan himself, must of necessity been somewhat different during this period than the later period of developing commune and centrally-located seat of discipleship with which he became identified by press and public.

		If his professional peers ever discovered he was a Bhagwan follower, Viram says, they'd have him "drawn and quartered." Gesturing to the string of polished wooden beads with a pendant of the Bhagwan around his neck and the growing crowd of people, he adds, "So, I keep it all sub rosa."
		In Oregon, the Rajneesh movement has morphed from the notorious '80s commune with its strict dress code into a loose affiliation of individuals whose only identifying feature is their devotion to Osho and his teachings--a blend of Eastern mysticism, Western pop psychology and simple meditation techniques.
		The failure of their Oregon experiment in communal living, says Sarito Carol Neiman, editorial director of Osho International, taught sannyasins "that as long as people look outside themselves for a savior they are going to miss the point." After the Antelope ranch debacle, personal responsibility became sannyasins' unofficial mantra and meditation their only daily requirement.

		Hugh Milne's Bhagwan: The God That Failed (St. Martin's Press, $15.95) and James S. Gordon's The Golden Guru: The Strange Journey of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Stephen Greene Press, $19.95) recount the career of another shrewd and ambitious young intellectual, an Indian university teacher who carried the idea to outrageous, stupefying, jewel-encrusted fruition.
		When Rajneesh's worldwide guru conglomerate, that veritable McDonald's of spirituality, finally collapsed, it boasted 93 Rolls-Royces, a 120-square-mile Oregon commune called Rajneeshpuram and thousands of highly educated followers who willingly slaved 14-hour days in subzero temperatures for the barest subsistence.
		From 1982 to 1985 newspapers and networks breathlessly followed the incredible developments in Rajneeshpuram (formerly Antelope), Oregon: the ingathering of tens of thousands of orange-clad followers; their mortal struggle with the local ranchers and retirees; the trials convicting Rajneeshee leaders of fraud, attempted murder, mass poisoning, immigration violations and numerous lesser crimes.

	Hinduism Today \| Mar 1989
		On December 28th, ex-Jain Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh announced, "I shall be called Bhagwan no longer." Instead, Rajneesh accepted the prophecy of Katzue Ishira, a lady Japanese Zen Buddhist who earlier declared Rajneesh to be the reincarnation of Gautama Buddha, the 6th century BCE founder of Buddhism.
		Acknowledging the problem, Hasya said, "He simply wants to be known as Shree Rajneesh." The title "Bhagwan" is also out.
		Though Rajneesh's popularity has dropped off in the USA since his unceremonious ouster in 1985, he is a big hit among Zen-oriented young Japanese yuppies who now flock to his India ashram.
