Author : Osho

Osho, born Rajneesh (Chandra Mohan Jain) on December 11, 1931, was a prominent leader of the Rajneesh movement and a controversial figure in contemporary spirituality. A visionary mystic and public speaker, he traveled extensively throughout India in the 1960s, where he challenged traditional social and religious norms, critiquing figures like Mahatma Gandhi and advocating for a more open attitude toward sexuality. Osho emphasized the significance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity, and humor, viewing these qualities as essential to human fulfillment, yet often stifled by rigid belief systems. In 1970, he began to gather followers known as "neo-sannyasins," expanding his teachings and establishing an ashram in Pune in 1974. His controversial approach led to conflicts with authorities, particularly in the United States, culminating in his deportation in 1985. After returning to India, he continued to influence spiritual thought until his passing in 1990. Today, Osho's teachings remain impactful, resonating within the realms of New Age spirituality and meditation practices worldwide, as his legacy is preserved through the OSHO International Meditation Resort.
