Osho taught incorrect things and made followers love their desires. True spiritual would not use guns , and would never attack back if they believe in the soul being immortal. There would be no reason if they had truth to fight back. Therefore , they were all misled and still are. He read books and made up his own ideas about religions. He knew nothing of the essence of what all religions teach … he was not a master. But mislead many a generation to come.
The difference between animals and people with relation to sex is that people have a higher responsibility given to them, and that includes not acting like animals and being responsible , not having open sex, but realizing true love with sex is for a special person to be had with. It seems Osho taught otherwise which makes people mad and filled with passion of sex, a very animalistic ideal that will never truely free people.
But create more desire and stuck in that state of false sense of freedom. His ideas about Jesus so misguided and dangerous. The Bible talks of Jesus and that is mos the truth, he tries to twist to what he wanted and thereby a true master does not put down any faith nor a faiths teachings.
A true master loved and respects all other faiths teachings.. Osho did not. At the outset of this comment I state that I do not support any act of killing anybody or violating the law of the land. Whatever violation of the law surfaced osho had to face the consequences of it in USA.
Now let us keep that aside momentarily for other debate and let us look, analyze what he says. He had a different prospective of the social order. He did not believe in marriage system. How many people of the world are content with single partner? In some countries even prostitution is legal. I think he came up with the concept which now we have proper terminology called live in relationship. In commune itself there must be examples of long lasting relationships.
Religions of the world have not been able to unite people. He promoted capitalism and we now know that socialism has failed all over the world. There is nothing wrong in accumulating wealth if got by legal means. Life of luxury is better than the life of poverty. Many teachers, preachers have assets of millions of dollars today. He was just the pioneer in the business of spiritualism. Any religious sentiments should not be hurt however he was not the only critic of the then existing religious order.
His book on education not only speaks about need to improve education system but also very realistically points out the limitation. The weapons included. Ma Anand Sheela invited over homeless people to Rajneeshpuram but without their knowledge, they were all allegedly kept drugged with Haldol.
This was done as part of a strategy to overthrow the then Wasco Country government by getting the homeless people registered as voters. Turner was, at that time, investigating the immigration fraud and sham marriages conducted by Rajneeshees. The plan, however, wasn't eventually carried out. Rajneeshees allegedly even planned to bomb the country courthouse in The Dalles using an airplane. This was one of their many desperate attempts to fight the government, but thankfully, was eventually not carried out.

I know from having immersed myself in Vedanta for the past several years that a true jnani self-realised person would never behave in such a manner. It confers a sense of wholeness and utter satisfaction.
Anyone who sets out to convert the world, to accumulate unbridled wealth, diamond watches and a fleet of rolls royces is someone who is deluded, not enlightened. The man wore shoulder pads and sat on a throne surrounded by men with machine guns. One can only assume that inwardly he felt as small, limited and inadequate as any regular Joe.
It is possible that he had spiritual epiphanies. He certainly had a voluminous library and studied many great teachings. In co-opting the process, the ego becomes monstrous. That is precisely what must have happened with Osho. But rather than teaching a means to sublimate them, he instead glorifies them. He taught his followers to act out their desires and impulses rather than trying to understand where they come from.
This is some twisted, hedonistic distortion of what a sannyasin actually is. In India, a sannyasin is someone who has relinquished material things. They no longer have a home, a job, a family, or possessions of any kind. They turn away from the things of the world to cultivate a pure and sattvic state of mind in which, freed from the push and pull of attachment, they can realise the Self within and attain liberation. Osho rejected this as life-denying, but the alternative he offered was an absolute con.
This sounds amazing. Osho promised that you could have your cake and eat it too. The only problem is it was a lie. If you want to gain something in life you have to work for it. The mind is your instrument. The state of this instrument depends on how you condition it. A middle-aged blonde woman clad in a flowing maroon robe ushered us into a booth for an HIV test.
It was a mandatory requirement for all new members. The commune was centered around the controversial godman, Bhagwan Rajneesh, who had been rechristened Osho after his return from the United States. Bhagwan Rajneesh in a still from Wild Wild Country. He along with his neo-Sanyasins moved out, lock, stock and barrel, from "Rajneeshpuram", his sprawling 60,acre commune in the state of Oregon. Within three years, his followers had transformed the barren expanse into a city of up to 7, people, boasting a fire department, police, restaurants, malls, townhouses, a 4,foot airstrip, a public transport system using buses, a sewage reclamation plant and a reservoir.
The events that unfolded at the commune and the stand-off between its inmates and local residents comprise the core of the Netflix documentary series Wild Wild Country. It is a fascinating portrait of the inner workings and power dynamics of a modern-day cult led by a charismatic Guru idolised by millions around the world. Watching this riveting series brought back many old memories of time spent and lessons learnt at the commune. As the days and weeks went by, I got into the swing of things at the Pune centre.
The hour-long session was divided into five parts: We began by exhaling vigorously in a chaotic, intense manner for 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of total catharsis - releasing suppressed feelings and emotions by singing, shouting, dancing, kicking and laughing.
Never allow your mind to interfere with what is happening. Consciously go mad. Be total," the instructor told us. With arms upraised, we jumped up and down on the flats of our feet, shouting "Hoo! The sound was supposed to resonate with the sex centre, in turn unleashing powerful creative energies. This was followed by 10 minutes of total stillness.
We froze in our tracks, stood motionless in one place and became a witness to everything going on inside and around us. And then, came alive again as piped music filled the room, and danced in celebration.
