	Feelings after the fall: former Rajneeshpuram Commune members' perceptions of and affiliation with the Rajneeshee ...
		The retrospective, positive accounts of living at Rajneeshpuram are congruent with the Rajneeshees' attitudes toward life events, the method of departure from the commune, and the continual use of the movement as a reference group.
		As marital status at Rajneeshpuram was confounded by the arranged marriages of foreign disciples to United States citizens to circumvent visa restrictions, any comparison of marital status between the Rajneeshpuram and follow=up surveys would be misleading.
		It is likely that former Rajneeshpuram residents' opinions of the movement were more positive than if they had become cut off from other Rajneeshees and were surrounded by individuals who lack understanding of their experiences.

		After the former mayor of Rajneeshpuram, Krishna Deva, aka David Berry Knapp, plead guilty to racketeering and conspiracy to commit immigration fraud, the Rajneeshees gave up the commune, and efforts were quickly made to sell off all the property and evacuate most of the residents as soon as possible (Oregonian 2M).
		According to the booklet published by the commune at Rajneeshpuram, Rajneeshee worship is "meditation and the meditative attitude in work and play; the message of Rajneeshism was contained in the lectures of the guru; and Rajneeshee education was a lifelong process of learning self-awareness" (Fitzgerald, 1986a: 91).

	The Life and Death of Rajneeshpuram and the Still Lingering Dilemma of the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The town of Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, was incorporated for the purpose of achieving the religious vision of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, just as the Mormons established communities around the teachings of Joseph Smith.
		The incorporation of Rajneeshpuram was challenged on the basis of the First Amendment, however, raising new questions in regard to the tension between the First Amendment's establishment (of religion) clause and free exercise clause.
		Attorneys for the Rajneeshees argued that the State of Oregon was in clear violation of the free exercise clause of the First Amendment and that the defendants were being singled out solely on the basis of religious affiliation.

		The basis for this could already be found in the "Alternative"; unfortunately, it had been mostly overseen.

		As to Rajneeshpuram - well, my very earliest counter-culture friend has been vith Rajneesh for many years, and I've had a sufficient exposure to her changes, and to his discourses, and to the group's doings up there in Oregon, so that my perceptions go a lot farther than what media makes of the trip.
		It was also a rarely educative gift for me to be at Rajneeshpuram during the time of their highly publicized experiment with social cast-offs, and the media-adventures of their spokeswoman, Ma Anand Sheela who enraged everyone from Phil Donahue to Ted Koppel (and me, too) with her feisty style of public relations.
		Rajneeshpuram is a place of spiritual seeking and social experiment.
