That guy was a fuckin nut in the 70's & 80's! I totally remember  him as a 
kid! He is about God like as L Ron Hitler is to Scientology! His  followers 
did some bio terror on some towns people! It was a big deal back then,  but 
if it was done now he would be in prison or sentenced to death! Cults should 
 be outlawed and he sure did have a sense humor alright!

In 1981, Osho relocated to the United States and his followers established  
an _intentional  community_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional_community) , later known as _Rajneeshpuram_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneeshpuram) , in the  state of _Oregon_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon) .  
Within a year, the leadership of the commune became embroiled in a conflict 
with  local residents, primarily over land use, which was marked by 
hostility on both  sides. The large collection of _Rolls-Royce_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_(car))   automobiles purchased for his use by his 
followers also attracted notoriety. The  Oregon commune collapsed in 1985 when 
Osho revealed that the commune leadership  had committed a number of serious 
crimes, including a _bioterror  attack_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack)  (food contamination) on the citizens of _The 
Dalles_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dalles,_Oregon) ._[3]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_(Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh)#cite_note-FF2-108-2)   He 
was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with immigration violations. Osho  
was _deported_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation)  from the United  
States in accordance with a _plea bargain_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plea_bargain) ._[4]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_(Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh)#cite_note-Latkin342-3) _[5]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_(Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh)#cite_note-4) _[6]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_(Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh)#cite_note-5)   Twenty-one countries denied him entry, 
causing Osho to travel the world before  returning to Poona, where he died in 
1990. His ashram is today known as the Osho  International Meditation Resort. 
His _syncretic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretic)  teachings 
emphasise  the importance of _meditation_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation) 
, awareness, _love_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love) , celebration,  
courage, _creativity_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity)  and _humour_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour) —qualities  that he viewed as being 
suppressed by adherence to static belief systems,  religious tradition and 
_socialisation_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialisation) . Osho's  teachings 
have had a notable impact on Western _New Age_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age)  thought,_[7]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_(Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh)#cite_note-6) _[8]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_(Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh)#cite_note-GIA177-7)   and their popularity has increased 
markedly since his death._[9]_

He  mentions Osho...that's the (now deceased) Indian guru guy whose idea  of
Wisdom was getting his followers to buy him a Rolls Royce for every day  of
the year. The guy who built an exotic meditation retreat where  overly
credulous westerners can pay a small fortune to go to and do classes  in
forced laughter and flapping your arms like a bird.
