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_%28car%29>  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_%28Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh%29#cite_note-FF

violations. Osho was deported <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation>
from the United States in accordance with a plea bargain

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
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age>  Age thought,[7]

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.
