I agree with your article about the authors of the movie.
Idiotic people indeed! They missed!
I’m just ashamed that my photo was used for the movie promo… don’t like to be associated from far or near with these two, and their poisonous minds.
By the way the movie is a flop! no success whatsoever!
GOOOOD!!!

It’s the same old story, told again and again. Cult begins with purest of intentions, ends in corruption and violence. The true believers will never believe it was the “Master’s” fault and engage in endless rationalizations to exuse him.

Has anyone read Milne’s book? As his bodyguard he was sincere in what he was doing, until Oregeon and Sheela wanted to disrupt/destroy the inner circle. Milne obliged and with a Phd worked 12 hour days driving a back hoe in the cold with little food or comforts. Milne said what no one wants to believe and the title of his book says it all “The G-d That Failed”

Bagwhan was ordered to leave India, due to mitigating circumstances which advocated sexuality in a Conserative country (India is not a Frathouse afterall) and avoiding taxes. This is no small matter and should not be trivialized. So to wipe his past clean, Sheela and Bhagwan moved to NJ where a commune in Oregon was established without much thinking trough. It all starts out fine, until local politics forbid building on site. This is where trouble began. Instead of going about it legally and patiently which is what Milne points out, Sheela attacked. And Milne became a target/victim of circumstance.

As Sheela attacked, Osho was drunk on nitrous pissing in his gown as he walked. Osho was unable to make decisions. As CEO he should have fired her, but she was probably able to blackmail him and this is where something which began with honest intentions went wrong.

Milne wrote about aspects which Bhagwan wished he could hide. But Milne’s book was sincere and not critical. Bhagwan was a bald faced liar. Yet Milne demonstrates grace and growth for what he sustained. As a grown man he accepted his decisions both good and bad. He knew what privilege he had and lost, at no fault of his own.

But there was no leadership at the Ashram. And this is where the Reagan administration stepped in. RR had enough dealing with incorrigible hippies in CA as Governor. And he decided to put an end to it in OR. No doubt FBI’s hand was forced, fortunately. Osho producing lectures while protected by M-16s is not what America is about. It was time for Osho to find a country which would allow his shenanigans to go on. Not in America.

….Had communion with Osho….1977….1984….1985…..and on and on….as Swami Rajneesh says..”I saw Osho before…I saw Osho”……My saying is….”.I saw Osho…..because I never met Osho ….or saw Osho….in the body”…..Death….the ultimate joke…:):):):)

I shy away from this back and forth stuff…the Osho/Bhagwan story has so many different takes. My take is that he is dead…gone…and anything left behind is just hearsay……let him rest in peace…..

I find that many people are not willing to look at the crimes that were committed in Bhagwan’s name in Oregon. I happened to witness many. I also sat through all the name changes that he went through in 1989…is the name Osho an attempt to separate from the wrong doings we committed in Oregon, Pune1…and the continued money laundering that happens in Pune to this day? I always found it ironic that Bhagwan/Osho spoke so much about trying to wake us up when he spent so many hours under the influence of laughing gas (i witnessed its delivery, I was his personal shopper and guard) and that so many drug dealers got special treatment and up close seating in Pune 2. I am not a disgruntled former sannyasin. I am forever grateful for what I learned at his side. I am also realistic about what I saw and a lot of it was criminal….give Sheela and Shiva a break…we are all struggling in some form in this life. Jai Bhagwan…Viva la Vida!
